Final note on this, for anyone looking to run a large monitor on an older Golden Tee. Newer TV will not work running 60khz. I ended up using a Hitachi 42" plasma computer monitor that runs 25khz horizontal that I found on Craigslist for $100. Took a small amount of adjusting but looks great. Hope this helps others.

Following up on this. The tube is bad. hooked up an Epson projector  to the VGA video card output. Works Great. You need 15-25khz monitor or tv to operate Golden Tee 2004 FORE.

Thanks. I really like the arcade sd pcb for my old taito games. Zoo keeper, arkanoid, qix, jungle hunt play really well. I don't own a jrok but I'm looking at building a Qbert. Jrok boards pretty good???

Everything works well. Everyone once in a while the monitor jiggles like a POT is bad. No biggie. Great game. Cabinet is a B+

Bro price or may trade for a very nice 27" monitor.

Good shape. Controls work well. If I were keeping I would replace bearings.
$200?

I just read something that accurately describes my problem. You think it could be true?

Busted TubePhysical Damage

Unfortunately, while picture tubes have extremely thick glass on the face, the necks on the back are actually pretty fragile, and the open-frame design of arcade monitors leave the neck unprotected and prone to being broken. Once this happens, air enters the tube (with a hissing sound), and the tube is trash. Sometimes if you can't tell its been broken, you will see or hear a blue glow or high voltage arc inside the neck when the monitor is powered on. If you see this, turn it off asap, as the tube is already bad and the arcing can potentially hurt the chassis or other nearby components if left on.

(Sadly, the day I started to write this article, I accidentally broke a tube on a monitor I was giving to a friend. A box bumped the neck board, and the ever-so-sorry "hisssss" sound announced its demise.

I did the full cap kit and HOT. No picture. Neck tube is buzzing and color is blue, not the normal orange glow. Almost looks like it is arcing in there. A little lightening storm. Can that piece be replaced? I guess it is the yoke or neck tube. On the other side of the neck plate.

Ordered a cap kit from Syracuse semi conductors and a HOT. I will install and report back.

Ok I was able to retest the correct way. You guys think this one needs replaced? Could this be the lone culprit? If not, next to check?

I finally got around to pulling the beast out. I checked a few transistors and found one that may be bad. K2676

I've been told cap kit likely is not the problem when blind.
