Hi all,
I'm trying to remove the analog board from my Colour Classic, so that I can send it off to have its caps replaced. I have all cables separated except for the thick red cable that connects the flyback transformer (I think that it is) to the CRT.
I have only ever once removed this cable before - on my SE/30 - and it wasn't so difficult. I have read through the CRT guide in this manual and followed the procedure of pinch, push and twist. It's not coming out. Underneath the red cap I can see two pins. I am a tad apphrensive about using much force on the CRT proper. I also haven't discharged the CRT. There is conflicting advice as to whether this is necessary. The machine hasn't been turned on in at least a year.
Is there anything different about the Colour Classic CRT ( aside that it's a colour Sony Trinitron ) in comparison to the usual B&W CRTs of the earlier compact macs?
Thanks very much for any help that ye may have,
aa
