Star Wars - fully working!

Indeed !
Now get that monitor out of the cab and put it on a workbench where you can work on it properly.
Screw loose the deflection board and turn it over and check those connector solderings ! :D
If that's the problem you owe me a Pac Man joystick !
......wait a minute.........
you already sent me a Pac Man joystick :laugh2:

Found a pic.... crappy as it may be..... of what can be found just due to the header pin solder joints cracking. I didn't grab a pic of the underside though, sorry.
This was from the last 6100 I repaired. Lots of solder joints especially on those particular header pins, one resistor and one transistor. Less than a $1 to fix.
Worth checking the fuse holders as well. Sometimes they loose tension on the fuse itself.
Or get kinda crusty from oxidization.

Your arms must be longer than they appear... I certainly can't hold a mirror in front of a monitor and get my arm around the side of the cab with enough line of sight to safely adjust a monitor. I don't see any mention that he has pulled the thing out of the cab.

The trick is to get a grasp on the pot before you stick the mirror out there, then start your adjustments.
Of course it also depends on the cab. Something really deep, like a Tunnel Hunt - forget about it. Get a stand mirror.

I have decided that a 9 year old is sufficient to hold the mirror. :)

If you are like me, it's always the little girl that wants to "help".
Then they spend more time looking into the mirror than holding it for ya.
