Title: What chassis is this? For a Videocolor A51-421X tube
Post by: Pinge on February 15, 2017, 10:36:03 PM

Never came a chassis like this before, as far as I understand the MTC900 is a common chassis for these tubes, but this looks nothing like it, cant find any information on the board that reveals manufacturer.

I have no HS at the moment but found a broken fuse and the holder fell apart as soon as I touched it.

Will try to get a fuse and holder in place and try again...

I know now that it is produced by "CABEL" (italians?).

Cant find any information about it.
I havr changed two dodgy fuseholders but still no Highvoltage, no ticking or arching either. Dont even know where to begis since i a monitor-n00b.

Would detailed picture help anyone to help me?
