Hi,

As I already posted over here, I just got this thing and it's dead.

When I turn it on, it seems to only have enough energy to faintly engage the CRT, and I can then see the jail-bar pattern, with an odd anomaly: it seems to have a big "bulge" that runs vertically down the screen.

I stripped it down, and noticed on the analog/power supply board some odd looking, green-colored stuff on a transistor, near a cluster of capacitors. I suspect it is some kind of corrosion.

The logic board looks OK, with slight signs of corrosion near the capacitors (I am already in progress of acquiring some).

Thank you!
