Title: Donkey Kong Junior - Monitor Help
Post by: wonkapete on January 13, 2013, 08:40:22 pm
Hello, I hope you guys can help me.  I just picked up a Donkey Kong Junior today for only $50.  The cabinet is in good shape and the guys said the machine works sometimes.  I still couldn't pass it up for that price.  I get home and turn it on and picture is skewed.  It never straightens up.  It begins a slight roll after sitting for a while.  Also, it makes a blurp of noise when powered on, but no sound afterwards.   I'm already reading about the cap kits.  Is that what I need?  Or is the monitor shot?  Thanks so much and I look forward to learning a lot on here.

you have a sync issue.

try adjusting your H- sync and your V-sync.

the H-sync is on the chassis behind the flyback, and the V-sync is on the remote board.

and check the two pots on the main DKJR PCB they can affect the pic as well.

if this monitor has never had a cap kit it needs one badly.
a Sanyo will look it's best after a cap kit and a color and wite balance done.


the only issue is, it is not a recommended first chassis to do your first cap kit on.

plus the chassis is allot more fragile than others and if handled to rough it can break.

if you want it fixed i can do it for you.
email me from my website.  www.thearcadebuffett.com (http://www.thearcadebuffett.com) if you need any assistance with it.
