to reconnect that ic i just it's already back in there i just haven't soldered it in yet all right the ic is back in cap is back in i am on the ground lead right there and if we go to b plus now there we go we're in the kilo ohms and the ic pin that was showing as shorted same thing it briefly showed like NUMBER_TOKEN ohms and right away it's up in the kilohms it is no longer shorted all right so at this point i don't even want to try to power this on because i'm afraid this might actually work at this point and i don't want to generate high voltage i don't even have the high voltage connected to the crt so let me reassemble this to a state where it's at least safe to power on and generate the uh what NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN volts that says it can generate here okay things are sort of back together i did reconnect the video wire the one that was broken on both ends so that's good to go the test bench is on the power supply is connected and i think i'm ready to turn this on we're going to run it off the bench supply again with NUMBER_TOKEN volts and here we go all right it was drying one amp and it was actually current limiting a little bit so i'm going to ramp up the current to NUMBER_TOKEN amps and here we go again i'm pretty sure high voltage is working and there ladies and gentlemen is an image it's working i gotta turn this a little bit more make sure nothing short's here it's all a little precarious there it is it's working it's freaking working now i do have to say i think this crt is pretty spent i have brightness and contrast maxed out and it's a little bit blurry there is an image but that's that's what it takes to get a bright picture so i think this monitor is going to require a crt swap as well i'm just quickly running through the various resolutions with check it here just to make sure that the monitor is actually working fully through the ega vga and text mode resolutions definitely appears to be working just fine other than the very very dim monitor and there is planet xNUMBER_TOKEN on a nice monochrome display and i have to say the phosphor on this crt pretty pleasing actually it's very much a yellowish white as opposed to what's on macintosh crts very bluish white this definitely has a more yellow softer color to your eye but unfortunately like i said maxed out it's just not that bright although maybe before i swap this maybe this is a good candidate to try some crt rejuvenation so the original power supply is connected along with the power switch to the front this is all just sort of sitting here i don't want to screw anything back together because if i do have to take this crt out it all has to come out anyways so i might as well just test it as is like this before i do any further assembly okay i have the mains ac cord right here the monitor is turned off so i'm going to plug this in here okay here we go sounds like high voltage is running everyone
