The monitor was not really too bad with the old caps but being that they were pushing 40 years old, time for a swap. The bigger issue was the jittery screen which will only end up in a vertical collapse if not repaired. The arcade monitor I am working on is from a Williams Defender. It’s a Wells Gardner 19K4613 Best of luck on your repair!

This was great, thank you for documenting and posting this! I've a WG K4600 in my Pac Man cabinet that I want to clean up and re-cap so this will REALLY help me out. THANKS!
RCA 19VJTP22. I have a 19K4600 with Neg H/V & Pos H/V build in November 1981 to do. But I finish capping my 13K7801 & 19k7000 447 board first.
Hey bro just saw your video good shit. Quick question my vert hold is not holding and i believe its a cap. Im gling to replace them all but i read it could be a transistor as well. have you had any issues with vert hold?
Thanks for doing this, I have four of these I want to rebuild, the quotes I have been getting from folks are in the $200 range to do a cap kit, that's nuts when the cap kit only cost less than $10. For that I can buy myself a nice soldering iron and multimeter and do it myself.
I'm doing my first recap soon – this was super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Should have held on to that Ian Kellogg cap kit- it's a collectible! 😛
When soldering pins in a row it's best to jump around instead of doing them in one row. For example, if you have 15 pins in a row do pin 1, 6, 11, 2, 7, 12, 3, 8, 13,….
This prevents too much heat buildup on any one component or trace. Not a big deal on a board with large components and heavy traces. A good habit to get in is not to do them in a row.
I have the same RAM issue on Defender. Did you cover fixing that on another video? Does the RAM need to be replaced or is it most likely just a case of broken solder joints, chip creep, oxidation, etc?
I just did a cap kit on the same monitor. Everything looks exactly the same, including missing the same caps. Much thanks for posting this video! It was a huge help!
I am trying to hunt down a thermistor for a k4606
