Width coil

Question from Nathan: Just a quick question, are width coils interchangeable? I have a Wei-Ya M3129 chassis but the width coil seem unable to move (or I don’t know how to). My picture seems to have shrunk in on the side. I have done a cap kit but still no luck? Any help would be appreciated Regards, Nathan

Response from Jonathan: Nathan,

You can change out the width coil, however, there is not one universal width coil that works with every monitor chassis out there. They are different depending on the brand and model of the chassis. The good news is that your Wei Ya chassis is similar to a Wells Gardner K7000 chassis which means that the same width coil MIGHT work for both. In order to know for sure, you might try contacting Chad at arcadecup.com. He repairs arcade monitors and sells width coils so he should know whether or not a K7000 width coil will work on your chassis. You might also check out our post on Repairing Monitor Collapse Issues as it has some other suggestions on how to repair issues like the one you are describing.

Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
