Sometimes you don't hear a click/pop.

Hello, I have searched for almost hours and hours.
I can not find a donor or new flyback for the Motorola
I have seen some YouTube where the put silicone or glue on the flyback.
Is this some solution for me do you think?
I made a picture.
For silicone or epoxy the purple arrow
And I wonder if the yellow arrow is a no go. to try this because it looks some plastic is broken.
What do you guys think?

Also looking for a 20 pins connector on the power board. Those pins are broken (some of them) so a solution to that problem can be the TNT power supply option.

But I would love to keep it original

Cheers Ger.

Ps Scott thanks for the “pop” message
Everyday i learn more and more.

ger:
Yesterday I could save the original 20 pin connector. So that’s all good.
Also the voltage are good and clean.
The main power supply is now also clean.
I did a voltage check on the b+ of the chassis. It’s 70 volt and not 73. So now I have to figure out where to adjust this.

Cheers

Nice and clean.

Hi there all,

i realy need some help or advice.
my Montorola kv700 a is not good.
i did a recap, and the sync is still not good.
like jennifer said, i need a new flyback, but in europe we can not get this parts anymore.
i really love to keep it original, but i think there is only 1 solution.
an other monitor :( can you guys/girls tell me what a good replacement could be?

also strange imo the monitor is placed horizontal, while it is a vertical game?
the cardboard makes the bezel so you look at a vertical game. is this original?
is this why its a 23 inch? could i do a 19 inch vertical?

i hope you can help me. i really want to shoot those space invaders on a steady image:D

cheers,
Ger

ps is this the good subforum? or must i replace it to monitors/video?

Mike A:
Your monitor is a Motorola M7000 if it is a 23 inch tube and a M5000 if it is a 19 inch tube.

I did a bit of digging. kv700 is some other number that is confusing for ID purposes.

How is the video signal connected to the monitor? Can we see some pics?

How have you tried adjusting the horizontal hold?

Maybe someone mounted the monitor horizontally and then tried to make it work with some hacky wiring.

You might want to try posting on KLOV.com as well.

Are there weird Space Invaders bootlegs that are horizontal instead of vertical?

It would be nice if someone smarter than me would chime in.

Also, I don't think you are going to have any luck getting a flyback for that monitor. The only source would be another M7000 monitor.
