    Had one of these, the 19 inch variant, blow up on me just a couple weeks back. Suddenly was looking really wavy and while I was turning some pots to try and settle down the image the screen suddenly went black. When I tried to turn up the brightness… BOOM! Sparks flew and I almost pooped in my pants. I pulled it and could not see any physical damage but it was done, and went in a dumpster. 2 years of service, it was okay.

    @10:10 Those caps should be OK. Seen plenty of those before and they are not bad. G-Luxon aka Jamicon Teapo is a Taiwan manufacturer... I think they crop up in Panasonic equipment... won't last forever but definitely not worth replacing immediately.

    The Luxon capacitors in this chassis are the same brand that are used in most Home Appliances including GE and Frigidaire refrigerators and probably many others 👍

    Great review, have seen one before driving a candy cab and the daugauss was a bit of an issue with the rainbow colours i was getting after moving the cabinet. It did look fine on it. However will be interesting to see side by side the differences between the 19 and 25.

    Many thanks for this review, Mike. Much better image quality than I thought. Would really love to see you review the 19" chassis too when it arrives.
    Would you happen to know what models of monitors the 19" universal chassis you have ordered is compatible with? One of the universal 14" - 22" Wei-Ya chassis' I found had the yoke values at 56 Ohms for vertical and 2 Ohms for horizontal, so would be good to see if the one you've ordered will support K7000's.

    • @MikesArcadeMonitorRepair
      @MikesArcadeMonitorRepair  3 роки тому +1

    Just a note- I bought one and the wiring is R-B-G-Y and the other being R-G-BLU-BLK-W so perhaps they fixed that issue now.
    edit- also want to note my chassis has HL branding, but the rear sticker on the metal is "shide" branding. My pots on the front are also directly on the board and not in the black plastic like yours is. my B+ resistor is also sideways and only has a small 250v 2a fuse as opposed to your two. So kinda similiar but also different. tho you should expect it to be slightly different when you buy from china lmao

    Great review, thanks, I have a probably silly question... At 17:35 you adjust the focus of the image, but you don't specify which one of the controls you're using to do that... You list all the controls at the beginning of the "hands on" part, but it seems to me no one of what you mention is focus...

    • @MikesArcadeMonitorRepair
      @MikesArcadeMonitorRepair  11 місяців тому +1

    Hi Mike. Thanks for your great video. I have succesfully replaced a wei ya chassis with one of those, but I have failed replacing the Time Crisis 2 chassis, We did not meassure the yoke until after the universal chassis died, at the joke the vertical has 11ohms and Horizontal 2.2omhs so the horizontal is above the 1.3ohms label mark and probably the cause of dead, do you have any suggestion? The issue with the original chassis is that the image is too wide and pot is not doing anything, will have to check the width cap as I saw in your other video. Thanks !

    Hi Mike. I have the chance to buy just a Hantarex Polo tube on its own, no chassis. Am I right in understanding I could buy one of these and get it up and running? Something that concerns me is I am in UK and we operate on 240v, all of the universal chassis I've seen seem to be 110v.

  • @old_and_obsolete
    @old_and_obsolete 3 роки тому

    Thanks for this, and all of your videos! I've had a couple of these that I just could not get working proper, they both had the same issue where the colors and contrast change depending on what color is strongest on the screen, as if the guns on the tube are struggling to keep up with each other, so white will go red when there;s too much blue on screen etc. They did this with all three tubes I tested (hantarex MTC, polo, K7000, all 19"). The tubes work fine with other chassis so I assume it's these universal ones I've had bad luck with, do you have any ideas what would cause that behavior?

    • @MikesArcadeMonitorRepair
      @MikesArcadeMonitorRepair  3 роки тому

      You’re welcome! That’s very odd. Was it this same model of chassis? Could be the caps but traditionally caps don’t affect color but they can affect brightness. This is why I mentioned replacing them. Off hand, I really wouldn’t be able to say.

      They only work on standard res yokes and the ohms need to be around 2 for the horizontal and 10 for the vertical. If your yoke doesn't meet those requirements, it's not going to work. And you'd need the 19" version.

      One more question. Will a chassis for a 20” monitor work with a 25” tube? Sorry for the basic questions but I’m a novice. I had a makvision 25” trisync chassis blow out on me and the tube is in excellent shape. Been pulling my hair out trying to find a replacement chassis.

    • @MikesArcadeMonitorRepair
      @MikesArcadeMonitorRepair  Місяць тому

      No problem. Technically yes, but the image will be too small on the screen and you'd have to change a handful of components to compensate. It's not worth the effort. Unfortunately, the Makvsions are notorious for being junk and the only replacement would be another digital, tri-res chassis. If it's a 24.8" Makvision, your only option would be another 24.8" tri-res Makvision chassis. If it's a 27" Makvision (as long as it's tri-res and not VGA only), you can use a D9200, D9400, or Neotec 500DX to the best of my knowledge since those are tri-res 27" chassis.'

    I had one of these chassis and yea they are dark, if you have a tired tube then your wasting you time, i had mine on a fairly new tube but still to dark, i had it on there for about month until the flyback smoked it self silly and decided to turn it self into a bonfire, so now its in a box of junk and put the wg back in, these chassis are cheap but its hit and miss with reliability, the lack of a contrast and proper brightness pots is a bit anoying its best to stick with a well known brand, i would never trust one of these again my one nearly totalled my bigblue cab, when those chinese flybacks go they go in style.
