Help with identifying monitor chassis.
holaplaneta:
Hi there, I got an old Dynamo HS-5 cab that could definitively use some new caps. The monitor is a Zenith ga63adg25x, but I honestly this is my first cab and can´t recognize or find the chassis model.
I already surveyed this great page that the real Bob Roberts gave me but I´m honestly clueless... ???

If you could help me, I would really appreciate it. ;)
Thanks!

That looks like a Kortek clone of a Wells k7000 series.
Also note that your big AC smoothing cap is bulging from the looks of the pictures. This happens on these things, but it isn't included in most "cap kits", so be sure to get one. This causes all sorts of fun problems as it puts ripple on B+.
holaplaneta:
Thank you so much! Go wonder I got a clone.
So should I get a cap kit for the equivalent of a WG K7000 series monitor then?
MonMotha:
Yep. IIRC, even the designators are the same, but check before you go installing based only on the list that may come with the kit. Make sure you're putting things in the right place, of course.
Like I said, you also appear to need the big cap in the corner. It's not included in most cap kits, so make sure you pick one of those up, too.

Great help, thank you so much, I´ll make sure to get the extra cap and try not to blow it up installing them. ::)
