Monitor B+ Settings
How to Read / Test & Set Your Arcade Monitor
B+

(Serious risk of injury or loss of life may occur so please

use these instructions only a!er obtaining the proper
knowledge and tools)
Remember that not all monitor chassis have an adjustable B+ but you still need to check it to
make sure your regulator is working properly. ALWAYS check and if applicable make sure to
adjust your B+ if needed a!er installing a cap kit or working on your arcade monitor chassis.
Always check/set B+ FIRST before making any other adjustments to your chassis. B+ is
measured with meter set to Volts DC.

Please contact us if you see an error or if you have other B+ directions you would like us to post
here.

at R909. 

Wells gardner K4900 and K4800 – Read at 130vdc – Check with black meter lead on chassis
ground and red meter lead on R503 (NOTE: R503 use lead furthest from the tube on this resistor)
(NOTE: R503 is the large ceramic resistor mounted directly on the PCB and not the one on the side
of the chassis frame) or red meter lead to TP91 in the back center of the board closest to the tube.

Neotec 2515C – Set to 125vdc – Test the b+ with black meter lead on chassis ground and red lead
on the connection point of R117/R424 and adjust at R112.

Sanyo 14 AZW – Set to 105vdc – Check with black meter lead to chassis ground and red meter lead
on TP91 which is one end of the largest cement resistor on the PCB (R609 20W 180 ohm resistor).
(This is probably the same for Sanyo 14 AZZ but I didn’t verify). Adjust B+ at VR601.

Sanyo 20Z2AW – Set to 108vdc – First set brightness control VR351 on control PCB to maximum
brightness (clockwise all the way) then connect red meter lead to TP91 and black meter lead on

brightness, then turn power o" on monitor. With a meter set to DC volts put the red meter lead on
test point D91 and black meter lead on chassis ground, then turn monitor power on and adjust B+
voltage with R812 to 123VDC and when done set bright control R344 back to normal setting.

Matsushita 14″ – Set to 115vdc – Test B+ with red meter lead on the emitter of Q801 and black
meter lead on chassis ground and adjust potentiometer on monitor main PCB labeled “B+
ADJUSTMENT” and set it to 115vdc.

Nanao MS-2934 & MS-2932 – Set to 110vdc – Power on the monitor with no video signal than
check with black meter lead on chassis ground and red meter lead on TP901. Set B+ to 110vdc
using trimmer pot at VR951.
Wells gardner K7000 – Read at 123vdc or 130vdc – (123vdc or 130vdc depending on which
regulator is installed in chassis)(most 19″ chassis have 123vdc and most 25″ chassis have 130vdc
regulators) Check with black meter lead on chassis ground and red meter lead on the blue wire of
the large white ceramic resistor that is mounted on the side of the large aluminum chassis frame.

Wells Gardner K7000 HV Shutdown Pot Adjustment Procedure – If you have to replace the High
Voltage Shutdown trimmer Potentiometer at VR8 then follow the instructions. Use your meter to
test voltage at the cathode of D12. Place black meter lead on chassis ground and red meter lead
on the Cathode of D12 and adjust VR8 to a reading of 9.8v.

Nanao MS8-26SU – To check B+ Monitor powered o", disconnect your video signal from the game
PCB. Power on the monitor with no video signal, put your red meter lead on TP1, and black meter
lead on TP2(chassis ground), you should be getting +92DC volts. Both test points are just in front
of the 2A fuse, look for three little posts in a line(TP1, TP2, TP3). Due to location, this feat is easier
to do, using alligator clips connected to your test leads.

meter lead on TP6 which is at the end of P112 and adjust at RV101 which is labeled V. Adj. and is
located under the metal cage. There is an access hole with a sticker over it in the metal cage so
you can adjust the B+ through that hole with a non-conductive tool.
