You did an amazing job!

I have just purchased the same machine and want to begin restoring. The initial things I want to do:

1. Backup hard drive and convert to either CF or SSD
2. Repair/replace the monitor

For the monitor... mine is fine touchwise and mostly fine displaywise but I have white lines that go across and one of the pots does not work at all.
I am nervous about repairing considering I know very little about how CRTs work and realize that they are very very dangerous. Am not finding luck finding a repair person. Do you have any documentation or guidance for what you had to do to restore your monitor?

lilshawn:
they are called "retrace lines". it's usually an indication the the screen voltage is turned up a little too high on the flyback.

on the high voltage transformer you'll find 2 adjustments. one will be "focus".... the other "screen". turn down the "screen" a tiny bit till the lines disappear and the black is black again.
