G05-802 F100 Issue

Bah... by the time Radio Shack got done bending me over, I might as well give Bob my business. I needed an excuse to pick up a couple other items as well.
 
Wait did you go to one at a mall or shopping center? They're different...shopping center is your better bet for components. Malls rat shacks focus on gadgets. Also - when the sales guy tries to get involved....JUST LOOKING...and run past to the parts drawers! :)

HAHAHA...I found this funny, because that is EXACTLY what I do every time I go to radio shack out of desperation for that "must have now, overpriced component".
 
So I received the bridge rectifier from Bob today... installed it... crossed my fingers and fired up the monitor.

...it worked!

W00t! Success! How I love the taste of success... especially with a vector.

In any case, I HAD messed with the high voltage slightly when I was dicking around trying to figure out what was causing the pulsing. Now, how do I make sure my high voltage is where it's supposed to be? Where do I measure?

Thanks!

Probe the anode cup and set it to 14.5kv. Check that voltage in the manual to make sure. I am almost positive that is right though.
 
12KV it appears...at zero beam current. Does that mean "nothing on screen"? If so, how do I do that? BZ doesn't have a "blank screen" option, right?

EDIT: Could I just pull the edge connectors?

Alright...well, I couldn't wait for you folks to get back to me so I went ahead and powered up with the edge connectors off. Wouldn't ya know it, the monitor powered up with nothing on screen. Using my HV probe I determined I was at about 10.5K... I nudged it up to 12K.

Now, I am getting a very faint "crackle" sound from the HV cage... almost like the crackle sound you get when you power up a monitor but individual snaps. I turned off the light and I see no sparks and there is no on-screen jumpiness... I assume that is just HV sounds going on?

THANK YOU by the way... to all who've helped me get this PITA up and running.

Any insight on this? I can't hear it unless I stick my head in the cabinet, but it still bothers not knowing...
 
There may be an HV diode in there with some bad insulation or something. I had one where it was burned through and disconnected, and I still had a picture because it arced the gap...
