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

I need to get an HV probe to discharge this before I pull the monitor. Will this one work: eBay link?
Level42:
Are you planning on getting out the chassis only, or the complete monitor. I don't know how the WG6100 is fixed in your cab ? (the only upright I worked on has an Amplifone).
If you're not removing the HV cup there's no need to discharge it. If you do remove the HV cup, yes discharge.
Kevin Mullins:
You can remove just the main chassis without removing the HV cage........they unplug from each other without having to remove the HV anode.
But if you find many bad solder joints on the main chassis you may want to check the HV pcb for joints as well.
And the probe you pointed at is designed to plug into a Fluke meter for measuring the HV, not discharging it.
ChadTower:
As I keep saying... the fact that he doesn't know these things... means he shouldn't be working on a charged monitor.
The advice you're giving is only safe to those who already understand it.
