Monitor arcing around rubber cap


Dan

Question

Hi all

The monitor in my neo geo cab is arcing around the rubber/suction cap on the tube.

I discharged the monitor and cleaned the tube and rubber cap. I noticed there is some slight damage to the rubber where it has been arcing.

It still arcs now everything is clean.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I had this same problem and it was due to the anode cap (suction cap) not mounted correctly.

But yours sounds like the anode suction cap is damaged.If you have an old chassis lying around with a good cup you can just replace it with this. I think they just roll off??

If it's damaged its losing its vacuum and arcing to the nearest ground. Not good.

I've seen people use silicon around the caps, looks really ugly and no doubt a pain to remove latter on. Best to ask Joey for a replacement cap I think.

i was going to mention the silicon but thought best just to avoid doing that
