Not sure if Gyruss has reached the chassis swapping level already ;)

The chance that its the tube is low...

The monitor is very dirty, did you CARFULLY clean the glass of the neck with a paper towel with a bit of glassex spraye on it (on the towel).

Maybe you just dont see the neck glow...

I just saw that the neck board of the second monitor was a bit loose, reattached it and the screen came up!!! I can see some movement (the road) but overall its garbage.

i think if you turn pot 13 , you can have a bit better screen..
sync problem i think

The 900 has a terrible neckboard connection, very "loose"   :'(

YES!!!!! I've got something on the screen! Thanks you very much for your help Etienne and Andre!!  :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

There are 2 black bars on the side though, red lines running across the screen and the colours are a bit messed up but it's working!!!

Will a cap kid solve these problems?

Not necessarily, capkits can do alot of good, but its tough to say that a capkit will solve this

Better is to measure all the caps on the chassis and see if there are bad caps.

anyway, Great you got something on the screen now, that saves me a trip to my mother to pickup my monitor  ;D
 
if you check the manual, you will see that pot 17 and 18 are for height and width..
try to turn those.. ;)
in fact, just turn every pot you see to check if there is any improvement.
just remember +- how the pot was in case it does "nothing"

Also maybe Andre can test your tubes with his Muter rejuvinator to see / check the condition of your tubes..

if you take another "monitor stand" is the red bar in the middle still there then ?

I mean its coincidentally on the same height as the metal from that chair you are using...
(it could be interference..)

Those 900 neckboards are evil bitches...one of my monitors came with some foam between the protective metal and the neckboard to keep it in place....I hate those neck connectors !

Good work so far. Indeed you just have to adjust the horizontal size a bit to get rid of the dark sides.
Looks like the focus can be a bit better too or is that the camera. DO NOT mess with the color pots  1 upto 9 (yet) !!!
