I have a potential pin repair client who also has vids (that I am not comfortable fixing yet), but it sounds like their issues are monitor related (boards possibly needing to be re-capped and needing new monitors). In some cases there is heavy burn-in, in others it's a matter of jittery screen.

Is there a person who does board work on various vids, and any suggestions how / where to source replacement monitors?  Ms Pacman has burnt-in screen, Jamma 39-1 apparently needs a screen, or at least the client complains that it will not stay still.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm still learning, but check out Clay's G07 guide:
http://www.pinrepair.com/g07/

And my "Monitors 101" for good links from the other members:

Another good link is:

I'm still debating - learning to fix it - or call Geoff Parr, or another buddy, ...or just get a new fresh monitor, ...
