Steptoe.

I have yet to come across a monitor chassis/PCB that is 240V.
I am in New Zealand.

Thet are made as 110V standard and the isolating transformer used determines the input and outputs.

Yours is 240 in and 110 out. Perfectly normal.

cheers guys, thanks for ya help.

Ill ensure i have 115v to monitor, if i have maybe a new chassis is in order. Its a good learning expirence.

You know how monitors can kill because of the charge, with time does the monitor lose all of its charge

NO!!!! Danger Will Robinson!!!  :scared :scared :scared

Never assume that a monitor has lost its charge on the tube or the capacitors. Discharge it properly if you plan to separate the tube from the chassis or if you plan to disconnect the wiring. A monitor can hold a very large charge for years after it was last turned on!!

Just taking a monitor out without separating the tube from the chassis can be done reasonably safely though, as long as you are careful and you don't go poking around in there.
