So, I got this Midway Clowns in a deal that's been sitting around for a long time.
I decided to see if the nasty old B&W monitor worked. The chassis looks like it was home to some critters a long time ago. Most of the caps have exploded out the top of the cans.
I tested it with just power first and it had the typical flash and center dot when I turned it off, so I decided to hook some signal to it. (The Clowns PCB is dead and I'm waiting on a new 8080 cpu). It just takes composite signal, so I got the output from a VCR and fed it into the monitor. It worked! Needs a cap kit, but wow... 1970's TV with nasty electronics... I thought it would be dead.
BTW, are the color strips complete? 4 of them? Blue, Green, Green, Orange.
