RE: Zanen cap kit

I agree with Rodger, the kits for G08's use underrated transistors & one
underrated
cap. For the transistors, I use MJ15003's (about $5 each) and the cap
(C401?)
should be a 1000 uf 160V (not 1000 uf 50V as what comes in the kit)

I have three G08's that I rebuilt this way, and they are still going
strong.
Also a fan blowing across the deflection PCB helps keep thing cool.

        There's nothing wrong with the Zanen kits. I disagree with
their
        choice of replacement transistors for the Electrohome G08
        (Sega) vector monitor, but the proper transistors are no longer
        available.

        As for quality of parts, they exceed that of the ones you're
taking
        out of the monitor. You CAN buy better parts, at a higher cost,
        but there is no problem with the ones in the Zanen kits. If you
        want longer life from the parts the real answer is to have a fan
        blowing air through the monitor to keep everything cool. That
        will gain you even more life than the high temp caps would.
