I'm still futzing with getting the monitor to not collapse on the Y-Axis.  I'm likely going to take the monitor in for professional repair here locally, simply because I'm at a loss as to what is wrong with it at this point.  I'm sure whatever is wrong is probably really easy, and I've knocked off 75% of all the issues with it.  So I guess my answer is no, nothing has moved forward but yes, I've been thinking about finishing it ;)

Well if you don't mind, I've referenced your thread in my resto post. Lots of good info here thats has given me things to think about for mine.
I'm going to peruse the documentation a lot in the next few months. If I come accross any suggestions for your problem I'll be sure to let you know.

That looks like your B+ line.  Is that with the new tube?

No, that's still the old tube.  I thought I get the old one working before putting the new one in.  That way if something went horribly wrong, I don't kill the new monitor.  It's been so long since I myself looked at this project, I don't recall a B+ line though.. where/what is this again to jog my memory?

EDIT:  Q708?

EDIT:  Q708?

That does seem to be the common path for all of those parts.

Do you have access to a tube rejuvinator?  It's possible the old tube is the problem here.

Hmmm... I do not have one of those, nor know of anyone locally (free) who would have one.  Man... now I'm tempted to throw in the other monitor and see if it just works.  I swear I've tested those bottle caps three times now, replacing them twice.  I doubt they are the issue to be honest.

Where are you located?


EDIT:  is the location in your profile correct?  There has to be someone from here around Dallas with a rejuvinator.

Post here and on KLOV looking for use of a rejuvinator in the Dallas area.  I'd be shocked if you don't find someone willing to help out.
