Thanks, I did not know how much overlap there was :-[ Patrick |

The monitor will always be enclosed in your cab, so the only time you need to worry is when moving the monitor from it's box (or wherever you found it) to your cabinet. Just take care, take your time and don't touch anything you don't need to... |

(You only discharge if you have to remove the anode cap). --- End quote --- Would I need to discharge prior to bringing it to a shop for repair, or only if I were to attempt to fix it on my own? Are there any other cases in which I would have to discharge it? Your posts convinced me to take a look at some of the monitors, and I have a couple of questions about this one: Wells-Gardner K7400 25" Monitor 1) Would it need a separate mounting frame to mount inside the Konami cab, or would it screw right into the (what I presume are) mounting holes behind the slats of wood that the bezel rests against? 2) Even though the WG website lists it as a CGA monitor that can display 640x200 max, would it still be able to display a Windows desktop and play some PC games (Golden Tee Golf, MK4, NFL Blitz) via the ArcadeVGA card? Or am I better off going with the D9200? And regarding all monitors in general---assuming that the anode is capped and the monitor is turned off, are there any parts on the back of the monitor that would zap you under normal conditions? |

You would require the WG9200 or Betson Imperial to display the PC games properly. ;) |

No need to discharge when bringing it in for repair. The repairman will do that. You do not need to discharge a monitor to move it from one location to another. The GOLDEN question is "do I have to remove the anode cap?" If you don't have to remove the anode cap, then you don't have to discharge. 1. A real monitor will already come in a frame. A 25" model will mount to the pre-existing mounting holes on your shelf. 2. Arcadevga does exactly that. Avoid D9200, the D9200 is a lot like a Ferarri, looks so cool, so much cool stuff, and breaks down every three weeks. It is pretty much the most unreliable monitor on the market today. No, on a regular monitor it is the TUBE that has a charge, the only exit spot for the tubes charge is the anode cap. Well, technically you COULD get the charge out via some really idiot ways such as cutting the wire to the anode cap, sticking it in your mouth and then touching the frame. |
