I spotted a NEC 3Ds at the recycler last weekend, too
bad it didn't work or
I would have snagged it in a minute (turned on but screen stayed dark).
You mean you didn't grab it anyway to see if the fault was fixable (or
even easy to fix)? I think I would at least have taken it home to see if
the EHT was coming up (actually, you might have been able to 'feel' that
anyway) and if the CRT heaters were alight. the fault could be something
as simple as dried-up capacitors
Those old monitors are starting to die out.
Particularly if people assume that any one that doesn't work can't be
repaired...
