New SE analog board install q's

[croissantking]

I've acquired a new old stock analog board for my SE/30, it looks genuinely brand new and unused.

Is it safe to go ahead and install it without any risk to damaging my CRT, e.g. if the adjustment pots are badly set?

At worst it won’t work. However, I will caution that the newest a NOS board can be is somewhere around 1997/98 when Apple stopped supporting its old machines. Thats still using 25 year old capacitors even if they have never been used. You’re probably ok, but I’d still recap it.

Also: what state is the PSU you are planning to use it with in?

It's a Sony one that's been recapped with good quality components.

You can't go too wrong with it; install and then adjust the pots as necessary.

It fired up and the picture was already well adjusted, just a few tweaks needed. Picture looks awesome, better than my previous AB.

Not bad for £30, right?

Not at all bad. Nice to hear it worked well!
