I am venturing into my first major monitor rebuild/repair with a WG6100 out of a Space Duel I picked up a while back. I ordered a new flyback and deluxe rebuild kit from Bob Roberts. So it all arrived today, I promptly pulled the monitor out of the cabinet and set to looking around at things. After inspecting the deflection board, most everything on there looked to be in decent order so I decided to tear into the HV cage and board as I knew there would probably be some problems in there.
Some major problems to be found once I took the cage off. First of all the cap at 905 was completely blown apart with all of the innards scattered about the inside of the HV cage. Several of the resistors were fried as well. After giving it a look over I went ahead and desoldered the flyback to get it out of the way. It came out without any drama just fine. As far as replacing things, I thought I might as well start with the cap at 905 which is an inline capacitor. Looking through my rebuild kit I find the matching cap only to find that it isn't an inline cap. Am I screwed here or can I still use the regular style cap?
Also, being fairly new to all of this, I am not sure how to differentiate the transistors to figure out which one is which. I can't make out the text on each one. How do you guys go about this?
Another issue I was having is that I got out the new flyback and tried to do a test fit on the board and the pins didn't exactly line up with the holes. Is it ok to bend the pins on there a little bit to get it to fit? Otherwise it isn't going to work.
