OMG What have I gotten myself into -- 10 MORE CABS!

Damn, I hit a road block on 1 of my monitors.

It's a WG 19K7602. This one came out of the Golden Tee cab. Right after I took the monitor out, I could tell that the flyback was blown, so I ordered a replacement from Bob Roberts. I was all set to go at my soldering bench when:



In this picture you can clearly see the blown flyback, but you can ALSO see something that doesn't look right. I circled it in red. It appears that someone has installed some components to either bypass something, or jumper a connection. Either way, it doesn't belong I don't think?

Then I turned the board over and it just got worse:



Wow, that's ugly. I don't even think it's worth trying to recap this board and/or replace the flyback. There's no way I'd feel comfortable putting power back to this chassis again. Does anyone have a spare chassis that will work for a 19K7602 I can have/buy?

Grrr......... :badmood:

abzman2000:
nonsense, if you can find the schematic and follow the traces around the modifications then it might become apparent what the hacks were for (and maybe you can clean up the soldering a bit while you're at it)

IG-88:
Get a new chassis from 8liners perhaps...?

Hey STG,

Add my own best wishes to those from other folks, it will be interesting to see what you do with them.  Seeing any real cabs in the wild these days is pretty rare, one place there are quite a few are airports.  I spent a happy hour the other day checking out a bunch of cabs and pinball machines while waiting for a flight.  Keep the detail coming (I need the motivation  ;D)

 :cheers:
