New-to-me 40ish year old monitor has arrived, still in its shipping box as first I need to do some work on this TI 3046 monochrome monitor.

I do love how few parts it has.

Note: if you ever had an Amdek 300, this will likely look very familiar.

NoteNote: don't fiddle with CRT innards for they are angry. I'm paranoid enough to be careful enough but it doesn't mean it's a wise idea to do so.

I take my time when I work on old electronics, mostly because I know my limits. Basically my version of "Move (very) slowly and (hopefully) fix things"
Still no joy. I get high voltage but no image, then got that centered vertical line getting brighter once, switched the monitor off quickly then nothing else when I turned it back on; before that I checked obvious areas for cracked solder joints with a (cheap) microscope but didn't find any. Will put it aside for now, other monitors to work on.
