I worked on two red tent monitors over my spring break and had good luck. I ended up replacing both flybacks w/ new ones from arcadecup, cap kits, and replaced a HOT on one of the monitors, which originally didn't match what was supposed to be there. The monitor that had the HOT, flyback, and capkit is working well.
--heres the problem---
Monitor 2 (cap kit, flyback replaced) was working fine. Last night, I reinstall the monitor and go to turn on the monitor and all I hear is a "tick, tick, tick". I turned it off and assume the HOT has gone. I turned it back on and watch for neck glow, nothing. Strangely, for the few seconds I left the monitor on I did see that there was a small ember like color (like the glow from the neck) slowly pulsating on the screen? This seemed unnatural so I shut off the game, discharged the tube and went to sleep. WTF.
--so far i've..--
Measured the Ohms reading from the yoke wires and they read 14 and 2. As far as I can tell from other threads, this seems to be spot on.I also put the diode function and tested the Hot. I'm not exactly sure if I was testing correctly, so I posted the readings below. 564 seems to be from the outward edge in, 005 seems to be the reading from the two center points..
