Couple updates and requests for help.
Got the CRT repaired and WORKING! The culprit was the 100k sliding pot
control on the underside of the CRT. Now that I have a working CRT, it
is on to the next step of diagnosing in which I need advice.
I noticed the cursor is a hardware cursor, does this mean if I get the
display board working (and if only the display card is working) will it
output the cursor to the CRT? If so, this is great news as I can focus
on repairing a single board. If not, do you know which boards I need to
get working at a MINIMUM to get ANY display on the CRT (either the
hardware cursor, or some sort of diagnostic boot code to output to the CRT)?
Thanks!
