 _White_ line? All IBM5151 monitors that I've seen
are green-screen (in 
fact that's specified somewhere in the techref). Is this a genuine IBM 
monitor? 
You know, it might be a bright green line. I haven't powered it up in 
years. The only reason I didn't pitch it is because it IS a genuine IBM 
monitor (the 5151), and I didn't want to seperate it from its PC... which 
I wanted to keep because it was the first "IBM PC".

...
 Is the line vertical or horizontal. You imply the
former, which is rare 
(most horizontal deflection faults kill the EHT as well, leaving a dark 
screen). If that is the case, there's only about 4 components that can be 
at fault.... 
I am fairly sure it is vertical. I remember when it started to die, I did 
the Mac Plus analog board fix for it (whack it on the side), and that 
would bring it back for a bit. Finally it just stopped coming back, and 
stayed as a bright line.

Humm... maybe in November I will pull it out and see if I can get it 
running. (I have too much work to do this month to get to the fun stuff).
