Now I just have to adjust it to actually see something of use.
It's a G07-CB0 in a Gorf cocktail and when I got it the flyback had gone out, the caps were mostly likely dead, the HOT was dead and the fuses blown, to add to that it looked like someone took a blowtorch to the heat sinks and in the meantime blew off the top of the Horizontal width coil.
One Bob Roberts repair kit later and I have neck glow, a lot of scary crackling hissing noises and a picture.....sort of. It looks like its skipping around vertically and stretched to hell sideways and in general, pretty crazy.
So, here's my question, I didn't touch any of the adjustments as I repaired the monitor, so hopefully they are as they were before it blew originally, although the horizontal width coil is new, so I'm sure that's out of wack. What should I be trying first?
Also, at the moment the only thing I have to run on it is a Sega Genesis modded for RGB output through SCART. I made a funky adapter so I can run bare wires to the video plug that normally goes into the video board of Gorf and thus, hook a Genesis up to the monitor. Is it not worth adjusting anything while using the sega, or is it an ok starting point to at least getting a picture.
Second question, how dangerous is it to adjust these monitors while they are turned on/charged. The horizontal width coil in particular really requires getting my hand in there to adjust it, same with the B+ pot. Can I safely touch the little plastic pots on the flyback adjustment and the neckboard? or would massive rubber gloves and a screwdriver be a better choice?
