Really? That thought process, and the same physical handling, would get him hurt if he were decasing a TV. Same "common sense" thought process, right? Just don't touch the PCBs? The difference there is that on a lot of CRT TVs the mounting bracket is live.

So you think that one could be shocked by a monitors stored high voltage, just by touching the frame of a one of these monitors?

That's not my point. My point is not whether or not you could be, my point is that the newbie has no way of knowing, so your common sense assumption isn't going to keep that person safe. They just don't know enough to have common sense about the device.

yeah no problem. it's just that people like to fix em rather than toss em. Sometimes all it takes is a $12 cap kit to revive a dead monitor (or even less when it's a fuse or single transistor, etc, etc). You could have sold it for $25.

Did you see the burn-in ? Pretty bad. But yes the chassis should have been saved. Then again, I tossed the WG4500 on my Centipede as well. That was my first serious restoration too. You learn things along the way.....

ctozzi: Excellent work so far! :cheers:
Really looking forward to seeing your next video on removing the old and installing the new monitor. It's funny that I found this thread, because today I just helped my friend move the same cabinet he bought into his garage. The monitor's dead, and one of our biggest concerns was to remove the monitor. Still trying to talk him out of using a 19" TV and talk him into using a REAL arcade monitor though. ;)
Keep up the good work!
