Sorry for the late update to anyone wondering- work has been nuts. Thank you for correcting me on this, to me it looked like Amazon had the same thing- nope. Never again will I make that mistake, lol. I ordered it straight from DigiKey (their shipping prices were reasonable and my order was...

So one Amazon order later and I'm still finding the monitor isn't refreshing when I hit the Degauss button. ?( I'll include some pics below so you can see how I hooked up the wires (I tried both wires in positions 5 and 6 just to make sure I didn't have anything crossed) and still nothing. Not...

Thank you! Ordered! :D

:wideyed: Whoa... The more you know! In that case, would it be worth buying a Degaussing Wand? Looks like new OS Astro PSUs are selling for around $2-300, which is fine but not sure if that's necessary, considering otherwise everything is working how it should be... (?) Appreciate the responses!

Thank you- found it! However, when I push the button, nothing happens... :(

I don't have a Degaussing Wand yet, as I've never really needed one... maybe until now? I did flip the power on/off for a few minutes at a time, as I read this can help the monitor naturally degauss itself (?) but I haven't noticed a big change.

I have two Astro Cities that are side by side, up against a wall. Recently moved my game room around (with everything revolving around the placement of my cabinets) and SUPRISE- my P2 monitor does not like where it's placed. I did some troubleshooting by turning the cabinet 90 degrees clockwise...

Purchased a CPS1 board from Hoagtech- it looks and works as expected (if not better) on my setup. Quick responses, and even quicker shipping, would def buy from again, without a doubt. Thank you!!!

Sent you a DM!

Ohh I see. I didn't know that. The other day my monitor wasn't turning on at all so I'm sending the chassis away to be looked at. Too many odd/random issues.

Thanks for the info dude!

As someone who is new to the world of arcade machines and their additional required maintenance, of course the number one question is how to keep my monitors working at close to 100% for the longest period of time. But when something goes wrong (for instance a problem a simple cap kit won't...

In terms of epoxy, would you recommend a certain brand? And is it a good idea to epoxy the pots in place? Or do you mean the flyback to the chassis itself? We did experience a few traces on the chasis which seemed to lift with the heat of the solder from various caps being replaced and then had...

Our original reasoning for performing the cap-kit was due to a high-pitched frequency which was coming from the monitor. We were'nt sure what specifically was causing it, and the frequency only seemed to occur once every so often, but when it did, it was loud and quite annoying. One of the caps...

To clarify what you were saying concerning heat and electronics not mixing, that's why I was thinking perhaps putting a fan on the edge of the cabinet shell (with air blowing onto the chassis) would be a smart fix. Though in terms of replacing the flyback, they don't make the flyback for the...
