I just put a new HV unit in my Asteroids Deluxe cabaret's 15V2000. I was tuning it up (HV, brightness, contrast, focus) and noticed the bottom of the monitor frame was _HOT_!!!
My calibrated finger said it was at least 85C. I didn't think to do a spit test before I shut it down, but I'd guess it was under 100C.
I know the deflection transistors get hot, and it had been running for maybe an hour, but still...that seems way too hot for normal operation. Especially since the back door and the front plexi were off the cabinet.
So how hot is too hot?
