Title: Another Super Off Road.
Post by: ienjoy on January 05, 2010, 06:51:30 pm

Ok got me a good haul of cabs gonna try this one first, as this is first time restoring anything and this one seems in good nick.
Seller wasn't sure if it worked but hey I only paid 1p plus delivery (£170) for it and 4 others.

OK tried to power it up, what a surprise it doesn't work.
The monitor had a brief flash of white and one of these (there are 3) kept clicking.

Next step try a different monitor.

Thanks
Ok what do you suggest I try. I have electronic experience but not monitors.
I do have a few monitors to try though anyway.

BTW there was no glow on the valve (is it a valve?) on the monitor.

Thats better.


Ok whilst rebuilding I noticed the psu was a bit tatty so I replaced it with one I new was working.
Still no joy.
Gonna try the monitor next to cross that off the list.

Also noticed my blue wheel doesn't have the pcb. So thats one for the shopping list.
