Frequently asked questions.

First two pictures are of common household white silicone glue used to secure the neckboard to the picture tube socket. This was done to keep the neckboard from scooting off during shipment from the factory. Wells-Gardner and a few other monitor makers did this since the monitors were shipped worldwide and frequently get bounced around. Not every monitor manufacturer did this though. If working on the monitor for the first time and you need to remove the neckboard you must carefully slice through the silicone glue so you can scoot off the neckboard without damaging the base of the picture tube. You do not reglue this.

The last two pictures are of the hard glue (not silicone this time) Wells-Gardner uses to secure tall or heavy electrolytic capacitors to the circuit board. Again, it keeps the components from breaking loose during shipment. No need to reapply glue here either.

Ken thank you for the reply... I am setting up for the cap kit I got from Bob. So I am sure more stupid questions will follow.

Also the check will be in the mail to you on Monday.

Thanks for your time!

All right man... I am freaking out about the glue on the board. How would I go about getting it lose and off the darn board?

I wanna do this cap kit tonight and don't want to make any mistakes. Heck I spent like 500.00 on tools and parts to fix something that might not be fixable. lol got to love it at least I have some tools to work with now! Like the Bk rejuvenator that was the biggest slice of the pie...

Use a good razor knife to cut the glue around the part. Or you could also go to Radio Shack and get soldering tool kit # 64-2227 for about $5. It has a couple of nice scrapers in there.
