Thanks for the tip it sounds like a good idea but I can't find one of these items. Everything out there seems to be 1280x1024 native resolution. Do you know of any specific model…

Actually, the yoke carries very dangerous voltages (and currents). Specifically, the horizontal deflection winding is the one that can give you a serious bite. I treat the yoke wit…

Oh, okay. What I meant by "touching" was what to hold while rotating the yoke. Because he was asking what was "safe" to handle. If this is not the best thing to do. Thanks for warn…

BTW, the yoke doesn't carry high voltage, so it's safe to touch the coils if you have to to break it loose. Or since you know you're going to rotate it anyway, loosen the clamp and…

The basic rule for working on hot electronics is keep one hand "in your pocket", meaning don't have both hands touching the machine. That way if you touch high voltage, you may get…

The manual says to twist the plastic ring, and not to grab the copper wires. Is this correct?
