• Replacement of major monitor components (flyback transformers, control pots, power transistors, CRT (picture tube replacement)) is not included in the typical refurbishment process and will increase the final cost of a monitor repair.

New replacement monitors   (See Note)
Not all monitors can be repaired. We sell new replacement monitors for most video games.
Replacing an old obsolete monitor can produce dramatic video clarity enhancements and provide a burn-in free game play experience.

Vector monitors are no longer manufactured either. We can provide a limited number of capacitor kits for X-Y vector monitors.

Note: The main Cathode Ray Tube, Picture tube or monitor screen is no longer being manufactured because of the high lead content in the glass. Also, higher priced LCD and LED displays are displacing the traditional arcade game monitor.
The US Congress made a law requiring all monitors 25 inch or larger include digital turners. They neglected to omit arcade monitors in this law and game monitors don't require a TV tuner. This is why monitor manufacturers started to make 24.5 inch monitors to get around having to install a useless TV tuner in the monitor.

New monitors are both very hard and expensive to find and Pinball Medic will now have to find whatever is still available in our supplier's inventories. We can no longer keep all monitor sizes in stock.
All 25 inch and larger monitors except for the lowest CGA resolutions are starting to cost in the $500 range. This price can affect the need to replace a game's monitor. Instead, rebuilding the original might be the only economical option. Monitors are quickly becoming the most valuable part in an arcade game and can even be worth more used then the whole arcade game.
