I turned on my Mappy machine and saw that the screen was quite dark. Of course when I turned it on I thought I heard something, but I think I may have been imagining things. Anyway, turned up the brightness on the fly and everything seems to be normal.

Is this something that can happen from time to time or am I now compensating brightness for something else? Just want to see if I should be worried about this one.

Thanks!
 
Hard to say - what monitor is in there?

If it was working normally, and then suddenly went dark and had to be adjusted, I'm going to say "something's wrong." Could be simple, could be not! Post the make/model and get back to us.
 
I believe its a Zenith. I'll have to grab the model# later today.

Everything was still visible on screen, it was just very dark.
 
I'll take a guess and say it's a G07 you have in there since that's what my Mappy has. If it is a G07 you may want to rebuild it including replacing the flyback because the originals are prone to failure. It's possible your tube could be getting a bit weaker also.
