they were used in Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, and Battlezone
cocktails and cabarets. I'm not sure if Omega Race had a mini, does
anyone know of any other games that used this monitor?
Is yours missing entirely? They're pretty hard to find outside of a
game. Haven't been manufactured in in close to 30 years and no other
monitor will work.
repairing it is more than I want to put into it. I am assuming that the
EHT unit is the problem, I looked at the board and everything checked
out fine, as well as the 40V input to the unit. The monitor is a
G05-805 yes, for an Asteroids cocktail. Nice to see you posting again
JS.
I can guarantee that you could pay someone to repair the monitor you
have for less than it will cost to find a replacement, unless you get
very lucky. The CRT heater is powered directly from the transformer
block in the cabinet, the HV gets the primary voltage from the LV power
supply on the deflection board. If you have deflection chatter and the
spot killer LED is not illuminated, then the problem is likely in the HV
box. I've seen one bad HV transformer in the dozen or so of these I've
worked on, other times I've found cracked solder joints, a couple of bad
pots, bad capacitors, and in the 19" models with the voltage doubler,
I've seen a number of those fail.
Actually I did find a replacement for a reasonable price, I got very
lucky (I'll post the info if he says it is ok, I'm sure the regulars know
him because I only see thanks and great guy postings about him). What I
want to do is swap the deflection board and the high voltage unit and
hopefully repair it to have an extra set on hand. It is on location over
an hour away and I don't want to put any time into it and don't mind
spending a few extra dollars to make that happen. Unfortunately I don't
have a jig setup for XY's, otherwise I'd repair it. The reason why I
believe it is the high voltage unit is because the LED was not on with a
good input to the cage.
There are very few parts inside the HV cage, it's worth going through and
replacing the caps, checking the transistors, and touching up the solder
joints. You don't need a jig, you have the game, that's what I use for
vector monitor repairs.
Ah, yes indeed, and there in lies the problem.- the game is very far away at
a camp that had many other games that were down. I could have taken the
monitor out and apart, but the caps are original (didn't have caps with me)
and didn't want to spend the time. It was more cost effective (in my
estimation) to get a known good boardset and have it working when I come
back, rather than taking it home, working on it and not working when I bring
it back. If I repair the boardset I bring home, then it was money well spent
and time managed correctly. Besides JS, I'm no spring chicken anymore to be
doing this youngin kind of work...
