A while back, when I turned on the power to my Tektronix 4014
terminal, nothing appeared on the screen, but I smelled an acrid odor.
Upon closer examination, the smell came from the terminal's HV PSU
board around the HV transformer for the CRT circuitry. Is this a
common problem with these terminals? I'm hoping that the CRT hasn't
shorted out, but I haven't had a chance to check that yet.
