I wasn't sure if I should post this in the WANTED section so I apologize in advance if I made a mistake.

I have a Golden Tee cabinet and a Silver Strike Bowling Bowling cabinet and each have monitor problems. I really don't feel comfortable attempting repairs on these (or any monitor at this point) so I was hoping to find someone local that could perform repairs on these monitors and future monitors as I've been buying and selling a lot lately.

One monitor doesn't power and and just makes a constant clicking noise and the other does the same but makes a constant chirping noise. Im assuming its a flyback, HOT, or both. I would obviously pay for the repairs and would like to establish a trustworthy business relationship in the process.

Thanks for any considerations!

what monitors are in the cabs?

if you can't fix them yourself then why not send them for repair.A few repair peeps in the U.S I am sure.

scared of getting an electric shock?

They are Wells Gardner monitors.  I'm thinking it makes more (financial) sense for someone local to take a look versus me shipping these monitors for repair.  Thanks.

It would benefit you if you found someone local and I would imagine there's gotta be someone in the Chicago area that does monitor repairs.
 But if you are unable to, It may even be more cost effective for you to pull chassis boards yourself and send them for repair to someone like Chad at Arcadecup.

There's an arcade gameroom in Algonquin. You may want to contact them to find out who repairs their games. Their website is difficult to view; I was getting a headache.
