I'm seriously thinking about putting this repair on hold while I tackle some of the other projects that I already have on the go which in turn have been on hold because I have nowhere else for this monitor to stand apart from on my bench which prevents anything else from happening.
So I may have to resort to storing it in the garage for a while I finish off these other projects before I forget what goes where so to speak to say nothing of new items of test gear arriving all the time that needs to be cleaned, checked, re-capped/repaired and shoe horned into my growing stack of test apparatus, many of which are sitting around the room in less then useful locations.
I thank all of those members who have given help and advise so far on this project, especially wraper who I think at times has felt like pulling his hair out because I'm not as up to speed as he is and for those don't know, I'm 69 and the last time I was actively involved in electronics was about 45 years ago so there has been many changes in that time and it takes me a little time to get to grips with them but I'm getting there, so thank you for your support and understanding.
