Help! Where do I connect my degauss circuit?
« on: March 08, 2008, 09:49:52 pm »
I messed up. I took "before" photos of cable connectors on this monitor in a Taito cocktail table so that I would know where things go. But I missed taking a shot of where the degauss circuit connects to. As luck would have it, now I seem to have 3 different spots where this connector could conceivably attach to!

The connector is a 3-position connector (with a gap making it kinda the same as a 4-position connector), but only has 2 wires going into it.

Photos below. I have NO idea what brand monitor this is. It's 13", has a 12-pin tube and the flyback is mounted separately from the chassis. Looks to be original for this cocktail but the tube probably is not. (Toshiba brand tube)

chassis # or a pic would be helpful.
 barring none, the 3rd option most likely . especially if near the thermistor ...

Here are pics. Note I was unable to remove the chassis from its mounting, so I could not explore what stickers or labelling it has in locations I can't see.

I've circled in green the two sockets I think one of which the degauss wires are supposed to connect to.

Anyone recognize this??

More pics...  Pic 2 here shows a 3rd possible connection point, but I'm 95% sure it's not it.

th601 is the thermistor and the coil connection is beside it .  normally ,there are only two lugs on the connector.

perhaps the mfg got a "deal" on the 3pin plug  :dunno

You have a Wells-Gardner 13K4700 monitor. The degausser plugs into that two pin connector with "R602" silkscreened below it.
