| First build based on a 27” WG D9200 – good idea? |

Just buy a spare flyback and HOT and put them in a plastic bag inside your cabinet. That way you have the parts on hand if it ever blows up. The repair tech can handle the rest. In my game collection I have 4 monitors that worry me. The B&W vector in my Asteroids, the B&W monitor in my Space Invaders, the B&W monitor in my Clowns and most importantly the modified B&W TV SET in my Pro Tennis. Notice how my top 4 worry cabs were all running monitors that were obsolete over 30 years ago. I would put my D9200 8th on my worry list, after whatever the hell monitor is in my 29" candy cabinet and both my 25" cabinets that I don't have spare chassis for (as I have a D9200 parts chassis). |

When it goes, it's a doozy to fix since it blows up half the stuff on the board which makes things more difficult to repair (especially since, if you miss something, it'll often re-blow everything). Doesn't seem to affect how often it breaks, just the severity when it does. In light duty home use, you'll probably never have an issue. |
