Recapped my k4900, and something seems completely wrong.
I just got finished recapping my k4900 on my Robotron and yes, I double checked to make sure everything was installed properly.
This is my first 4900 I've ever recapped, but I've capped plenty of other monitors before. I got the two pinchy wires on the anode back into the tube, but I couldn't get the round, flat part to go in the tube. Does that part need to go in as well?
The picture on the screen is coming up fine, but you can hear a small, constant crackling noise, and viewing from the back of the tube, it looks like one of those plasma balls you see in spencers - the little ball with the purple lightning inside. And there is a terrible ozone smell coming from the monitor.
This can't be normal... The picture looks great, but I'm now scared to turn on my Robotron. None of the caps blew during the time the monitor was turned on.
