    Default Donkey Kong Machine..

    Hey, I have a new DK machine, and it recently stopped displaying the picture, I took the tube out, and it seems a-ok. .I cant see anything wrong with it, I shake it, and do not hear anything rattle, or whatever.. So does any one have any suggestions??

    the usual problem is bad capicators on the video board.

    Be careful with that Tube it still holds very High Voltage unless you have properly discharged it.

    Does it powerup?

    Does it coinup?

    Do you hear Sound?

    Is it just the picture?

    If only the video is out, you may need a "cap" kit for the tube

    yes,be very careful when handling crt's.besides the stored voltage,the tube will implode if you accidentally drop and break it .i have seen cap kits for sale through amusement suppliers like happ controls.if you are good at soldering,it should be fairly easy to do.as luckydog said,capacitors go bad when they get old,and your game is 28 years old.i would check first for blown fuses on the monitor chassis,and make sure all connectors are plugged in.
