Mario Bros. re-capped!
« on: January 29, 2014, 03:40:02 PM »
Ever since I bought my Mario Bros. the picture had become very bad over the years, so I ordered a cap kit for the Sanyo 20EZ monitor..
This was the picture before the cabs was swapped...







And after a hours of replacing all the cabs:  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o









Old cabs


And the checklist!


This was my first cab kit repair ever, damn that was easy!
Next up, Playchoice 10!

Lol! though it was a B*%¤h to get the chassis out!, had to take the entire monitor out of the cab! (the G07-CBx is easier to reach!...)

So ? dead easy, of course you have to get the entire monitor out :) ........Try Berzerk :)

I don't think the Sanyo (pre 20EZ) in my Radar Scope/Mario Bros. has ever been capped....and it still looks absolutely perfect :) I think I replaced one cap because of the famous "fold over" but that was it :)

You dont have to take the entire monitor out of my Missile Command, it has a G07-CB0 chassis, and all you have to do is unscrew to screws, and the chassis slides out..

Well, you want to give them a nice cleaning anyway...right ?  ;D

Honestly: I haven't taken the G07 out of my Berzerk because I read it's a PITA. I do have to do it because in winter (like now) when it is still cold it has a bend on the top (to the right). Once heated up it's just fine again, great picture still. I think the Sanyo and the Hantarexes have the best pictures of all of them though...
