monitor problems

[tk1959]

I have a wells garner monitor model 19k8304. it's from a ms pacman. it does not work. I believe it has a p656 board. does anybody have a schematic for this board?
Thanks

That's totally the wrong monitor for that game. The 8000 series is a medium res monitor and operates from a special transformer because the monitor has an oddball power supply board.

A Ms. Pac should have originally come with either an Electrohome G07 or Wells-Gardner 19k4900 series. The 8000 series special and a real pain to fix/find parts for.

thanks, if I can fix it will it work in ms pacman? or should I not waste the time and just buy a new monitor

Ms Pac is a standard res game, and you have a medium res monitor.  So although you could get a fully working monitor, it's the wrong one for that particular game.

Offer it up in B/S/T for a trade.

I would fined the guy who sold it with that junk in it and kick his butt.

For the people who helped me THANK YOU. I bought a new monitor and put it in the game and it is now up and running.

19K8304 is part  of the K8000 family. Wells Gardner will deny they ever made this model and there is very little service information out there.

Here is a partial manual:

The 19K8304 uses a P737 remote adjustment board. That same remote board is used with the U3000 series monitors.
