Will do! I went ahead and ordered a fuse kit though. I figured that I might as well have it on hand in case I do need to replace the fuses.

Glad to see you taking the time and effort returning it to it's original glory.

While it is nice work so far, I don't think you can use "original glory" with that LCD in there.

So yeah, I should have checked the machine before I ordered the fuses. The tape holding cut off switch in came loose. Readjusted that, and it works perfectly.

Send me a 19" crt monitor that works and I will put it in there! :) Although I will say that the monitor looks amazing in there. It was a gaming monitor that I got before they all went to 16:9 ratio and it looks great in there.
