Title: Repair needed ASAP - Chicago area, Mundelein IL
Post by: DrumAnBass on December 12, 2020, 02:39:38 pm

I shipped a mame-converted PacMan machine to someone in the Chicago area - Mundelein, and it seems like it didn't make the trip from California intact.

Could anyone recommend someone to repair a Mame based conversion, that knows their way around CRT tube monitors? Looks like the 21" PC monitor chassis needs to be put back together, and the CPU cooler on the AMD based PC replaced, at a minimum.

Got any pics of the damage?

I am 40 minutes from mundelein, but I am not going to head out there blind.

So it looks like the monitor fell into the base of the cab. The neck board is no longer attached. I can't see the neck in the pic, but I assume that tube is necked. There isn't anything that can be done for that. I hope you insured that delivery. Do you have any pics of the neck?

The buyer paid for shipping; not sure what his insurance was. Waiting for a photo of the tube neck.
