Hello, I just recently started a conversion project to convert an MKII cab to a MAME cab. I am using a J-PAC with a ArcadeVGA 5000 card. When connected under any of the settings I get a white screen with constant flickering. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is their a fix? If not I am prepared to replace. The original MKII board should work but the screen has had this issue before the conversion (just recently in fact). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

what monitor is it,white screen could be screen volts too high or a blanking issue or even something as simple as a bad solder joint

Looks to be a Wells Gardner by the sku on the back of it. WG1323605
Solder joint I can check, what is a blanking issue? I don't think it would be a voltage issue since it occurred on the original set-up too and nothing has been altered in regards to that, but just in case how would I check?
Thank you!

all depends on what white image you have,the video b+ could be missing
model number is important-photo required

Here you go. I hope I was able to get what's needed...
If this can't be repaired, is their any way to get a replacement online? I would honestly rather go with a 25 inch LCD since more could be played on it but I haven't been able to find anything.
Thank you!!

Hmm, I'm not really sure how to answer this question as I've never worked on an arcade CRT before...
If it can't be repaired, what US site would you recommend getting a replacement from?

Do you think this would be a suitable replacement for the 25 inch CRT? I was only able to find a replacement for $650+ shipping online and I need to have this project complete before the 5th. Unfortunately my access to the unit is limited.

you have a 25" tube in the machine,you ned to find either a compatible chassis to fit that tube or a complete monitor the same size
i don't that is the original chassis anyway,its far too old
there is a sticker on the crt frame support bar,this should say exactly what chassis was in there originally
you could save ourself alot of time and money if you got the original chassis
