Just joined after seeing John's video on recapping a Sanyo 20EZ.  Pretty good timing since I just got my hands on my first cabinet -- a old Mario Bros machine.  A coworker of mine used to own it (and it worked then) but now it keeps blowing fuses on the monitor pcb.  So the timing for the video is pretty good and will hopefully help guide me through my first attempt at a cap kit as I try to make the Mario machine functional again.

I just recapped my 20ez and it was the flyback that was dead. I thought it was the HOT at first, but after removing my old one and testing it, it works fine. You might need a new flyback.
