Space Duel Monitor not working after road trip home.
I bought a Space Duel while I was out of town with a uhaul trailer. It came back with me in the bouncy trailer. It got hammered more than a few times.
When I picked it up, it worked great except for blooming on the monitor. I was just going to replace the HV diode to fix that.
When I got home, I turned it on, and the tube neck glows, I hear lots of deflection chatter, and the screan is blank, and plays blind. I turned up the brightness, and a colorful thin, bright, vertical line cuts through the screen.
Any ideas? I checked and reseated all the usual connectors with no help? If the hard ride cracked or damaged the picture tube, would I be getting a line on the screen? I assume if I damaged the tube, it would of emploded or not worked at all.
Thanks
Rick
