Anyone know of a good place in/near San Diego to do a cap kit installation?

I'm guessing doing it yourself is out of the question?

Yeah... I don't really trust my self with 20k volts!

I could probably do it but I would like to see it done first.

Once you disconnect the anode cap from the tube, removing the monitor PCB is a breeze.

It's really not that hard, as long as you don't do something really stupid, like doing it while it's on, etc.

On ebay under the Arcade, Jukebox, Pinball section is a guy that sells a $4.95 cd rom of capkit instructions. I think he calls it "fix your monitor yourself and save" or something like that.

Um did you check the FAQ?  there's a good walkthough on how to discharge and if you need a walkthrough on how to remove and replace capacitors--you really shouldn't be doing it. :police:
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...
