Street Fighter 2 monitor issues[Solved]

[godfather]

Hey, just bought a Street Fighter 2: Turbo Hyper Fighting. The one issue is the monitor flickers. What could this be?

[Crazybanana]

could be cold solder, or caps try reflow first cap kit is never a bad idea too. worst case the CRT is going bad

There's a black box on the chassis with a dial on it and it has a crack, sparks are shooting out of it which is causing it to flicker. Any idea what that is?

That black box sounds like the flyback. it will need to be replaced. It's an easy fix if you buy the right one for your monitor and you observe proper safety precautions.
All you need is to know the model number of your monitor and then just start looking online, most flybacks can still be found easily.

I probably don't have to tell you not to keep running your game until you repair it.
Broken flybacks can be very dangerous to people or electronics nearby.

That's the flyback!! Turn the game off and replace it immediately. What type of monitor is it?

Lots of guys on KLOV have done these sort of repairs, they have a whole section just on monitor repairs there, see here http://forums.arcade-museum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=43  
Even if you can't post on there (I can't) you can still find info related to your monitor on there.
 
What is important here isn't the cabinet type, that's because several types of monitors may be used in a given cabinet style, or even swapped over the years, what you need to know is the monitor model number, If you can get that I may be able to point you in the right direction for parts/information.

From my research, there is a good chance it has a Wells Gardner brand monitor of some type as those were commonly used in Dynamo cabs.

Also, if you are uncomfortable doing the repair yourself there are lots of people online offering repair services for these.

Zenith? 25"
i had it turned on while looking at the back and sparks are shooting out of the crack and every time a spark shoots out the game flickers..i have turned it off unplugged it. here are some pics.

in a HS-5 dynamo cab. cabinet has the serial number for sf2, as well as instruction manual and dynamo cabinet instruction manual.
The Marquee looks as though someone got beat one to many times from M.Bison and hit their breaking point . I am pleased to have this machine, it was my absolute favorite game in an arcade.

great looking machine. all those complete details are fantastic. i've seen a few machines with the control panel yellow like that I wonder why that is. looks like the buttons were changed. you should put the original red white and blue ones in.

i've seen those marquees for sale on ebay at market price, and here is a link to a high res one you can take to a printer and have them print/cut it for you: http://segamadebaddecisions.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/street-fighter-2-champion-edition-turbo-hyper-fighting-marquee-psd.jpg

looks like one of your coin door lights is out fix that with the little bulb. thanks for posting!

Thanks! I love it. Believe it or not it actually came with an additional both sets of buttons as replacements.
