the high voltage cap this is in the vertical circuit is okay, it maybe defective.
I have the schematics at the shop somewhere I'll look if you want and scan as
necessary.
Hi Bill, thanks for you help! Let me ask you, did you really mean "vertical
circuit"? My problem seems to be with horizontal deflection since all I see
is one vertical line with colors matching the image. Where is that
circuit physically located in the box? My box seems to have received a smack
on the right side (looking from the rear). There seems to be some separate
aggregate on that side. But I can't see anything obviously damaged here. I'd
need to focus in more to be able to find something. Eventually I need to
measure I guess. Is there anything I could debug without a scope?
(I'm now hunting for a scope on ebay, but those go away like crazy and I'm not
even going to be sure whether the unit I will receive will work ... I don't
want to end up having to repair the scope in order to repair the monitor :-)
Yes, if you could scan those schematics, I'd be glad!
thanks much!
