New WG K7000 Help

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rodimus80:
I was really just asking what the molex connector was called.  I found it I believe.  https://twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=149&products_id=1025

I got in touch with the seller and his explanation was pretty straight-forward:

There are folks out there that sell the molex connectors, but I usually just strip them and secure them with some good wire nuts.

As for the earth ground coming off the WG, since the transformer is ISO, it's not strictly needed, but some folks wire it down to the filter. Just loosen one of the filter screws, pop a fork connector on the end and connect it to the filter screw and tighten.

Rodimus80:
Got everything up and running.  Time to clean up.

Rodimus80:
One more quick question for you guys.  Is it normal for the K7000 to take a few minutes to warm up and show something on the screen?  It took around 10 minutes for the monitor to go from black to clear the moment it was powered on after being powered down all night.

buttersoft:
A CRT monitor or TV should power up and reach full brightness within ten, maybe twenty seconds at most. Lack of brightness might be caps warming up, i guess. Is the focus ok, or was that what you meant by clear, and the brightness is ok but it takes time to come into focus? Or what?

Zebidee:
Recap the monitor.

Sounds like at least some electrolytic capacitors are tired. There is only a handful, so grab a "kit" from a reputable supplier. If you don't know how to solder, send the chassis to a local tech to go over it for you.

If you do it yourself, be sure to put them in the right way around.
