Working on a G08 for a friend and I'm having an issue with the image. The monitor was brought to me with a horizontal collapse. The monitor had been working when purchased at an auction site but upon delivery, the monitor displayed a vertical line. The owner had tried changing the 2n6259 transistors with no luck. He brought it to me for further analysis. I pulled the chassis and began to go over it and found one set of the 10 watt 1.5 ohm ceramic resistors had broken free from the chassis. I dug thru my stash and had exactly 2 of the necessary ceramic resistors. I replaced the broken ones and went over the rest of the chassis. All transistors checked out fine. Paddle boards test fine. These paddle boards have large ceramic resistors attached to them with mods to a pair of transistors on the deflection board which I had not seen before. The deflection board is a revision 2. All header pins have been reflowed. Replaced the smaller caps as they were original and had relatively high ESR. Nothing else appeared to be out of place. Upon power up, I had an image but not the one I suspected. I am using the Vector-labs vector test rig and had tried to get a cross hatch pattern. Instead I am getting a jumbled pattern of what appear to be random lines. I pulled the chassis and rechecked my work but I am not seeing anything out of place. I rechecked my cap work and found no solder blobs or solder bridges or torn traces. I was very careful on my work as the FAQ had been very clear of the delicate traces.
As I don't work on many of these monitors, I am wondering if the image I am seeing is a result of a bad IC600 or something else. I did not power up the monitor before rebuilding it as I had a description of the issue from the client. I would appreciate any assistance from the G08 monitor gurus. I am enclosing a photo of what I am seeing on the monitor. Please note the 4 white dots on the upper left corner of the monitor are a reflection of the ceiling fan lights in my garage. I have not tried it with a working board set yet as that would require me to drag the monitor to my game room and hook it up to my Eliminator cocktail which might prove to be a bit difficult. It is currently pouring rain here and don't want to risk slipping and falling and destroying a hard to find monitor.
