Apple II monitor repair
Last week, I collected an Apple Il monitor for a fair price (was advised for parts or repair and untested, but in good condition)
After cleaning the casing (which was great) I tested it only to discover that it was suffering from a complete vertical collapse.

remember the untested notification ?

Looking around the IC301, I located a crusty capacitor, and also a few others in bad shape.

First time i need to recap an Apple II monitor
But this solved the issue.

Another week-end, another monitor repair.

Have had this unit in my pile for a while now, the screen was working but the image was drifting from left to right.
Decided to have a look at it today.

The Apple IIc monitor is cute, but a pain to work at. After removing everything, obviously a capacitor was bad, after cleaning and replacing a few capacitors, the monitor is working again fine. More or less the same issue that the last one…
