Title: Missing a fuse?
Post by: TurboC-- on September 16, 2005, 11:20:59 pm
I just got finished cap-kitting my Wells Gardner 4616, replacing 19 capacitors and a resistor.

...when I had it all apart, I noticed a white plastic part that looked like a fuse holder, which was empty.  Is there supposed to be a fuse in the monitor?  If so what one would I need?  (No I can't just power it on to check cause I still don't have what I need to power it on.) 

There is a fuse on board (there is on most monitors).  It's a pigtail fuse, and it should be protected by a piece of rubber tubing over the fuse itself.  I dunno what the white thing is, can we see a picture?

- Does the polarity of power fed to the monitor matter?

No.

- What connector do I need to supply the video signal to the monitor?

.156" pin connector.  Not sure what the Molex number is...

Actually, I don't think it is missing a fuse.  There is a white box with 2 terminals which look suspiciously like the fuse terminals elsewhere in my cab.  But in actuality, I think the terminals are just there for the wires coming from them.  The fuse may be inside for all I know, or it may be unrelated.  I think it will work fine.

Also, it turns out I DO have the video input cabling after all (hard to remember everything I yanked out 1 1/2 months ago.)  1 side is a 6-pin (with 4 wired) and a 3-ish pin with 2 wired, those go to the monitor I believe.  Other side is 6 pins (Pac man PCB connector?)  Question is how to wire these color and sync inputs based on the cabling, but hopefully I can find technical info on the WG 4600 series online...

WG monitors are almost all wired alike.

R, G, B,  Ground,  ,  ,  ,  Synch (on the end)
