- Welcome to the Arcade Repair Tips Video Series! In this video, Tim Peterson talks about how to properly remove and install a monitor chassis from your arcade cabinet. For more information, please visit our website at www.arcaderepairtips.com and please watch for more videos in the Arcade Repair Tips Video Series! Thanks for watching!
An excellent video. Thanks so much for putting it together, I'm currently in the position of having to send off my Hantarex MTC9000 chassis away for repair. Yesterday I did the discharging, and thought "How on earth am I meant to disconnect the chassis from the tube?".
Halfway through a day at work I think "Surely you must be able to disconnect the small board from the next of the tube". I get home, watch this video and all is revealed.
Thank you.
Cheers mate im glad your video is Online im just about to Remove my chassis and your vid popped up first in the suggestions 👍 you explain it well very simple to follow instruction, im Hoping its the chassis and not the tube 😂Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿🍺🏝
2:30 Funny that you mentioned silicone to glue neckboard on the back of the monitor. We have two hyster power jacks at work that keep stopping intermittently. We have to turn the power off and turn back on to get going again. I think I located the area where the loose connection is occurring. Must be 30+ gauge wires for controlling relays. I wiggled 5 connectors and was able to use it for 2 hours without stopping! 3 days later, it is starting to stop again. I was thinking about dabbing a little silicone between the wire and connector. I am going to check with my manager before attempting. I would prefer to rebuild the entire wiring harness with solder and better wire but I am not a trained maintenance tech....
@aphramet Yes, we do have a video on Safely Discharging An Arcade Monitor. There is also a post on our website that goes along with the video if you need more details. Thanks for your question and good luck with your future repairs.
very nice vid
this can be a bit intimidating the 1st time u do it but its rather simple if u done just as he says
Yet another excellent video. Your efforts are appreciated please keep up the great work. Thanks again.
You are so informative looked up your video on playing blind just got a Mr do that has all same symptoms an noticed a very small fuse on monitor chassis blown its sodered so takn that out tonight and hopn for the best believe it blew because there were 5 game wires all exposed touching on the inside thanx again
I'm going to be doing just this tomorrow, when my new chassis arrives. Hope it goes ok!
another amazing and informative video! Thank you again
Great video
Thank you
I'm just getting into this and haven't watched all of your videos. Can you tell me what's up with the discharge setup, the screwdriver, cord and alligator clips? Or in which video you cover that?
Hey i wanted to asked you a quick question i'm putting together a arcade cabinet and i'm having trouble finding a monitor i need a monitor that would hook up with a pcb board of Battletoads arcade would you have any idea what monitor would be best to use
awesome!
hey! new at this... can u use any chassis on any tube i have 2 monitors, one is broken. can i pull the chassis from the working one and put it in the other cab? or do i have to switch the whole monitor?
newbie question, Is the ground wire on the chassis of the CRT going anywhere? wouldn't you want the voltages Isolated, like they always say, isolation Xformer for safety.
and why didn't you discharge and caps on the CRT's board?
no response?
Stan, the ground wire is typically grounded to the monitor frame with itself being connected to the ground prong on the AC plug. While most older monitors require an isolation transformer, newer monitors include switch mode isolation on the chassis. You can discharge the caps, but they usually don’t hold much of a charge so we typically don't bother with it. Of course, the choice is yours.

how much do you charge to rebuild a monitor chasis
Can you remove the entire frame with monitor without having to discharge the monitor?
@Arcade Repair Tips I need some help with an arcade machine, will you help me? I only can write here because google discontinued the very well hidden message button's functionality because of "no interest"....
I got a time crisis 2 deluxe with 50" pioneer projection monitor. And one of it lost the game signal. I was just watching the demo, and the picture just faded out..
First I thought that the monitor driver board died, but not, it's alive. When i push buttons on the control panel i can bring up the monitor's OSD menu, and it works like it should. But I can't figure out how the game signal gone. The cable is OK, i crosslinked them. The game panels are ok, tried them one-by-one on the working side. Everything seems ok, but still not working. On the back, there is a test switch on one of the monitor's panel, and when I switch it it got the picture but black-white and runs upwards and no way to fine tune it. The other monitor simply switches to black-white mode and the picture is ok.
Without electrotechnical knowledge i can't do any more by myself. Can you give me some tips what to check?
What parts to replace to maybe solve the problem? I think one small part causes this, like an elko, transistor or diode....
I can honor your help! :)
Thanks!
Great vids; I have an old frogger machine that I'm parting out and your in depth look and understanding of arcade internals has helped quite a bit, especially on discharging the anode. How would you recommend storing the PCB? im looking for a mobo anti static bag big enough lmk if you have any other ideas. Sub'd +1
I got a Tekken 3 and the back board blocks you from discharging the monitor with ease. And a have a grey wire just hanging from the fly back. Can't see exactly where it hanging from due to the back of the machine being in the way. Any suggestions?
I got a Tokyo Drift and the back video card blocks you from discharging the monitor with ease and a have a grey wire just hanging from the fly back can't see exactly where it hanging from due to the back of the machine being in the way any suggestions?
Do arcade game Machines has cooling fans if I see one in the trash I'm taking it.
Great Job Guys..
Thanks for listening to my Email..
so I bought a sega hang on upright system and the neck board is fine but the pins when it slide onto the yoke are bent. can I bend them back and reattach or buy another monitor or yolk ?
Yes, you can bend them back but you want to be VERY careful. If you break one, you’ll probably need to find a new tube to use. We also discussed your question on Episode 31 of our Live Show. Make sure you check it out to hear our thoughts: czcams.com/video/Ufdr0nVMjls/video.html
I have a loose wire, that I believe controls the picture on my floor unit arcade game. Where the wire go
With the ground wire, where does the other end go? I understand the ground wire is there in case of a failure, then the charge will go down the ground wire. Is that correct? One end goes to the neck board, where does the other end go? Onto the CRT, but where exactly?
Hey man I have a robocop I need too wire the monitor up I replaced aka power wire but not sure how or what too it’s not even cut yet still has wall end on it
So, it sounds like you have a monitor that has a wall plug on it and you're trying to wire it up inside your cabinet. If this is the case, you should be able to cut it off and wire it to any incoming AC point in your cabinet. We like to use an AC distribution block but that's not a requirement. Again, pretty much anywhere in your cabinet where you're getting AC power (power cord, AC filter, power supply, etc.) should work.
Also, just wanted to let you know that we will be covering your question on our Live Show Episode 46 on Thursday, December 3, 2020 at 5:30 PM CT. Here's a link to the episode if you want to watch it: czcams.com/video/vcE7kPMwRP4/video.html. Thank you for your question and good luck with your future repairs.
It will feel real good when you push it all the way up.
Can you tell me where the loose wire go, on my arcade video floor unit, sound works but no picture because of loose wire
Depends on where the loose wire is connected currently. Try tracing it back to the connected end and see where it goes. If it's connected to the harness for your game board, you should be able to determine where the loose end should connect by using the pinouts for your particular game. If it's connected to a particular part (such as the monitor chassis), the loose end probably connects to the harness for the game board. If you need additional help, please email us at questions@arcaderepairtips.com. Good luck with your repair.
if the neck glass cracks dose that mean i need to buy a new monitor
hi , i'm so sad i have arcade but monitor it's not working u can to help me plz ?
Can you safely clean the back of the monitor with a cloth, when it's not discharged? Just the back of the actual monitor chassis.
Yes, but we wouldn't recommend a cloth. We prefer to use canned air and/or an anti-static brush for cleaning purposes.

@pancakeboi1
Colossus.
Go-ahead and say chassis anyway you want. We know what you mean and where you are from. It is a French word. If we tried to say it to a Frenchman's satisfaction, we would all look ignorant.
If a TX accent causes you to fail to understand the content of these excellent videos, then I would find you strange.
Read this eurouc:
dictionary.reference.com/browse/accent?s=t
Accents are long standing parts of verbal communication which add texture and identity to spoken word. Maybe you are simply too ignorant to understand. Maybe you are French. As I am French-Canadian and have half my family living in the Bayou posing as Cajun, I am offended by you either way.
EuroTrash might be a better name for you.
only removing not installing.
Cha-see
@UtushoReiuji NO NO ITS "CHA-SIS" LOL
CHASS-ISS????? What kind of ignorant pronunciation is that? It's correctly pronounced SHASS-ee !!!
