Just for a change, I don't want to talk about my ICT 1301.
We are having a clear out at work and I'm taking various bit home
(like an H.P. DraftMaster MX+ A0/E sized plotter as well as a little
7475A A3/B size plotter).
There is also a Graphtec MP3200 flatbed plotter. It seems to be all
there except the plug-in power supply which supplies 7v and 24v DC
through an unusual 3 pin plug. I don't suppose anyone has a spare
power supply, or even just the socket ? (or receptacle for US readers)
I've taken my old Lisa 2 home after a few years disuse and tried it
out. It currently has MacWorks installed on the hard disc and it
booted fine but the screen has a problem, it shows three smudged menu
bars equally spaced down the screen and it also has fairly bright fly
back lines at about 30 degree angles.
I have the official spares kit for it but never went on the training
course as I programmed them, someone else who has now left the
company, repaired them.
Is this likely to be a minor logic fault in the video generation
circuitry, presumably on the I/O board, or there is a small board in
the spares kit which handles the high tension for the screen, is it
more likely to be that?
How do I get at the HT board? Do I have to remove the four screws at
the front of the CRT? It seems unlikely Apple would have made
engineers do that but how else can I get into the HT enclosure?
