Still alive, haha! I am planning to replace the board - I tested with an oscilloscope and board seems bad. I don't know how I would really go about fixing it at this point.

:🙂 pheew! AC and CRTs are my least favorite.

Just a quick glance;

C14, what's going on there?
F1 is that a fuse or an inductor?

Also, isn't there a jumper somewhere on the board for the RAM configuration? Is it in the correct state? 
(I'm sorry, I repair synthesizers, just got a Macintosh SE yesterday at the junkyard, although I do have another one in storage, I've never worked on them per se)

It’s known that nobody ever died from a CRT shock.

It might hurt like hell, but there is *NO* record of anybody dying from a CRT.

Ah, thank you very much! That eases my mind, I had a Performa the other day that had a rather crusty CRT, I was on needles the entire time, just waiting for it to catch fire in the kitchen LOL

Again, there’s no fact that a CRT will kill you.......  Thats until you or me become “statistic #1” 

Be carful !!!

Dont make truth the fact.
