TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Monitor Issue

[bluemanop]

My friend actually came across a TNMT 4 player machine today. The machine was in good functional order for 150 bucks. I did have a joystick with a minor connection contact problem (I was able to fix this) but the monitor was another story. Although very sharp and bright it has a few vertical dark shadows on the left side of the screen.  These vertical marks tend to be a little less visible when the machine is a little bit warmer.

Could this be from a bad cap or is this just a yoke adjustment situation? Anyone have any ideas?

You should post in the monitor/video forum and hopefully Ken or one of the other arcade-tech gurus will see it and be able to help.

Dedicated Ninja Turtle machines came with a Wells-Gardner 25k7191 monitor. It's not a yoke problem, but remember that this monitor is at least 13 years old. You need a capkit for that monitor for sure.

Do you know where I can get a cap kit and a tool to discharge the power from the tube?

Try www.dameon.net/BBBB/ for info on discharging monitors and www.therealbobroberts.com for capkits.

Anyone ever tell you, You are the man?

Sounds like jailbars...as ken stated, a capkit will fix it.

I will take a picture of it, plus I want to verify the model of the monitor just in case it was ever replaced.
