Wells Gardner 7900 chassis board arcing.
« on: November 22, 2010, 11:38:31 pm »
I have a WG980673 monitor that arcs(see video) as soon as I turn it on. Can someone tell me what is happening and what I can do to try and fix it?

That is surely a WG 7901 board. 980673 is just the serial number not the model.

they develop cracks and leak/arc high voltage

where you from? perhaps there is a local place you can get one. else you can order one online. Is there a label on the actual flyback? like 053X0528-001??? you'll need the actual number as often they changed parts between runs. i have a bunch of these u2000 /k7000 series chassis and ALL the flybacks are cracked. it's common.

good good, you'll want to get a cap kit too. they are only a few bucks and will eliminate literally 100's of potential problems.
