So first off, I can't complain if this monitor is shot or going bad...I got it for $10 from a guy out of a Trivia Quiz cabinet. Now on to the problem...
I hooked the monitor up to my Ms Pac test bench set up...Turned it on and it took awhile for a picture to come up. Once the picture came up I started adjusting some pots. I turned, I think, the vertical hold pot.....and out of nowhere comes a loud pop and some smoke. I checked out the boards and nothing is fried or visibally damaged..and the monitor still has a picture on it. Now theres a hissing noise seems to be coming from the deflection yoke. Almost sounds like a flat tire.
After coming upstairs I stepped on one of the rubber wedges that goes between the deflection yoke and monitor itself...could that have caused it? I didn't even realize the damn thing fell off in transport. I didn't bump the monitor or anything....I think it was just loose.
