Okay, G05 Monitor Cap kit installed as well as the new Big Blue(Black) on the PS.  Plays well blind still but no video, and now I get glowing red hot R100 and R101.. AHHH
See picture...

I know, I know, Read the Vector Monitor FAQ... I'm going, I'm going...

Thoughts?

mcfreak:
Okay. I fixed that issue.  I was an idiot and didn't put the insulation back on the chassis  transistors.  :timebomb: :timebomb:

Put those back on and I am in better shape now.
It looks like the Y amplifier isn't working... Here is what the FAQ say's:

Horizontal line (due to "Y" amplifier defection).
·  Bad "Y" amplifier output transistors.
·  Blown "Y" amplifier fuse.
·  Open fusible resistor in the "Y" amplifier.
·  Yoke pins not making good contact (very common).
·  Bad yoke.

mcfreak:
And we are fully playable...  After a few adjustments and some cleaning of the connections this is the result.
