Its easier to fix two monitors. If one needs some parts...
Not too dangerous. There may be only a few thousand volts on the circuit
board side of the flyback transformer. And nearly thirty thousand volts
going to the tube's anode cap. And the tube makes a great capacitor that
can store this voltage days after the power is removed. Makes for great
science experiments or a powerful vaporizing bug zapper if nothing else.
Let me know when you get free time and we can look at it.
