Monitor question (off-topic, but needs love)

<< < (2/2)

Ken Layton:
Only some monitor manufacturers provide manuals with the monitors. Most of the time you should automatically figure on ordering a manual regardless of manufacturer. Some of the free online downloadable manuals are scanned at low resolution and the schematics are hard to read. Or they were 11 x 17 and have been reduced & are still hard to read. Most Wells-Gardner schematics are 11x17 foldouts.

Live and learn I suppose. I'm very much an arcade monitor newbie. The only thing I'm really interested in is:
A: Looking from behind on the left there seems to be a spot for me to plug the AC cord into, is that the right spot and is the plug designed in such a way as to make it dummy proof polarity wise.
B:
The metal guard that extends up from the board on the right side (looking from behind) has a connection point on a plastic spacer/machine screw that is cracked. Will that cause any issues?

Pictures, pictures!

I know!! I'm gonna snap some terrible ones with my phone cam once I get home. My digi cam (as you know) isn't much better.

The spot on the left should be it, and polarity does not matter. Half my games have two pin power cords that plug in either way.

That crack should not matter, as long as said crack did not break any traces or anything.
