OK, so my Smash TV cab was sold to me with a dead monitor, and after plugging in, etc., it was true. No response, no nothing, even though it was receiving power. I'm going to rid myself of the monitor tomorrow, but is there anything that would be useful to anyone I should save? I have one arcade monitor for a project later on but I am using a TV to replace this broken 25" one. I am saving the mounting frame thing to re-use. So, I guess the question is, are the little control board that extended the adjustment knobs or the bigger board that is mounted near the tube useful and therefore worth saving? Monitors really are a mystery to me, hate to discard something that would be useful to someone.

The whole thing is worth repairing or having repaired.
What make/model is it?
Maybe someone nearby will gladly take it off your hands.

Hmm. It is a 25", the only #s I could find were WG471134. Problem is, now that I have taken it out of the cab, don't really have space for the tube and stuff, was hoping the boards might help someone, though. Anyone in Chicago area want to take this off my hands?

Scratch that, it is a 25K7195 from 1990.

I have a WG 25" monitor. One $100 (or thereabouts) chassis from Wei-Ya later, the thing works great...

A K7000 is probably one of the most well documented and easiest monitors to repair.

Agreed. Don't toss it.

Guess I should have updated this post... I put it up in the free stuff section and a local forum member grabbed it and a couple other parts I didn't need. Thanks all for the advice- arcade monitors continue to be a bit of a mystery but I am slowly learning!
