I will admit it's been about five years since i fired up the ole' classic.
When I tried to last night, there was a disturbing loud humm (electrical sounding) coming from the PSU area.
I opened her up and all the boards are good, no exploded caps or PRAM batteries that I could see.
Of course I don't know much about CRT tubes or PSU's so i left those alone not wanting to electrocute myself.
Has anyone encountered this before? I do have a local electronics guy who is a wizard with soldering and electronics and has been doing it professionally for 35 years.
If this is something that could be easily fixed I would like to do so before salvaging parts and going the Macquarium route.
Thanks!
