Hi Monty,
My 4051, which I have had for a couple of years now, has failed with a display problem
very similar to yours, likely a power supply issue.
The characters all look funny, but I am able to type in a 10 PRINT "HELLO" 20
GOTO 10 and it fills the screen, so at least the processor is running.
I will open it up in the coming days. I will take pictures and scope shots, and let you
know what I find.
Good luck, fellow 405x owner!
Randy

Pete,
Thanks for checking on the display board.
Are any of the other boards, power supplies or keyboards left in the 4051
or 4052?

Yeah the two display boards went to Europe.
If anybody needs three perfectly good 11 inch CRTs, deflection yolks
excetera come to Portland Oregon and they're yours or have somebody pick
them up for you they're in the scrap pile and scrap is going in about a
month. Each CRT contains about $35 worth of gold.
