What is 279200 referring to? A WG9200 monitor?

Yes, a Wells-Gardner D9200 series.

The older WG's are very reliable and that's how WG got to be a "Standard" in the first place, but the newer stuff being outsourced to Malaysia (and maybe other places) has had a lot of quality issues, while increasing the degree of difficulty of repair and minimizing the amount of paperwork available to help the common tech.
Can't remember the last time I got a WG monitor new in box that actually included any paperwork....
Zebidee:
Sony CRT monitors made in Malaysia have a bad habit of being plagued with problems too.
Maybe it is the same factory :dunno
CSprunger:
I was also under the impression that WG were the best... Since you guys are clearly more knowledgeable than I, can you recommend a good arcade monitor to use in a MAME cab, possibly hooked up through ArcadeVGA? I'm trying to plan my project, and since this is the most expensive component, I really want to get it right. Thanks for any help!

How old are we talking about? Did they just recently change, or has it been a couple years?
