So i got 2 new old 20 inch crt monitors.

you have read about chassis impedance and inductance in relation to the yoke?
Understand about how some chassis require isolation transformers?
Understand about heater current and how to match chassis?

Na, sorry, i just follow up guides on the internet as most of guys here, and with the help of good guys here in the forum. Iks ok, im learning, i do have plenty of chassis to learn with if anyone cares to help. its not like they cost alot like in the USA. So messing with them to learn its ok with me, and at the end if i cant fix them , ill ust take it to the pro....

~Naaaa , i disagree with this, let me put it into perspective. I have used crt's in the past, back to mame .60 something, never had a mayor problem hacking ati cards or using arcadevga cards. But then i switch into lcds. I usually fix my own broken speakers, tvs, fridges, and more, with guides i find on the internet. I might not be an engineer but i anderstand most guides i find on the internet, not every single one , but most of them, and even when i get them i always ask just to double make sure. Im not dumb i know high voltages can kill so i take my time and most times im careful. Now this past weeks, with this particular monitors, i consider ive been not careful enough because i got lots on mi mind to do, plus i really dont care if a thing breaks on them, as is more cheap for me to buy another working chassis that it is to buy some caps and vertical chips. I try to fix them if is easy but if not, ill just buy another one. On the electrohome monitor , i do care for it, because its in very nice shape with no burnt in, and its an original tube that was stored for more than 20 years. So on that one, ill pay my rockstar technician to get it back to life, and use it on my next project. the other monitors are just helping me not getting the cabin fever. So no, im not a stupid 80s guy trying to get me killed with electricity. :cheers:

Saty tuned, i just bought 2 more weiya chassis for the 20 in tubes. Hope ill make them work this time.
