Like the above states.  I want to send the chassis out to have it benched and freshened up.  Anywhere in the USA would be ideal, Zax amusements works on them apparently but I really would like to avoid shipping to Austrailia. 

Thanks for any help!

That's a Kortek chassis. www.casinotech.com is the authorized Kortek repair center.

And since you now know the manufacturer, there might be more than one service center, and perhaps one closer than another.

Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

Is Kortek a Sharp brand?  Whats the difference between Sharp and Kortek or are they the same?  Sorry just a bit confused and curious.

Kortek made monitors for several companies. Sharp Image used both Kortek (primarily) and Sony as their monitor suppliers.

Kortek would rebrand/relabel monitors for a particular customer. The "KT" (or in your case "KTM") indicates a Kortek model number.

Happ Controls repairs all makes/models of arcade & gambling video monitors at their monitor repair shop in Las Vegas. Casino Tech is also in Nevada.

There's another Kortek repair shop at http://gamingstuff.com/displays.asp

OK cool :)  I noticed that KT in front of the name, and that also Kortek had the same first 2 letters in all there model numbers.  I'll contact these locations see if I can get anywhere... thanks alot!

Not sure how you are makng out??

As far as repair goes, we shy away from a number of breeds "Kortek" and "Neotec" on the top of the list..

If you get desperate, we have recently supplied 3 0r 4 customers with replacement boards for 32/34" Sharp monitors.

But first you must be very confident your tube and yoke is good.

If so look on the tube and yoke for part #'s  as well as manufacturer.

Tube numbers will start with A79 or A80- if you can give me a manufacturer.

Yoke numbers - if Thompsom 79L....

I will cut it short here in case you have already repaired your board.

In any case good luck
