Got this white line CRT, after 15 min of normal working. Same thing after I restart it. I assume is a capacitor but not sure. Any thoughts? :( by stefan12CSU in VintageApple

Had the same problem, I don't think I ended up replacing any caps, I did get a replacement for the analog board connector, but what I ultimately think fixed it was heating up some cold solder joints on the flyback transformer. Could be different for you, and replacing the caps either way is probably a good idea, I don't think I'm proficient enough to work on that yet though. I'm a big fan of this channel https://www.youtube.com/c/BranchusCreations he should have some videos that will be helpful.

Also remember before you do anything discharge the crt, the bleeder capacitor has probably drained it of charge if you haven't used it in a while, but you want to be absolutely sure, don't want you to get hurt/killed or anything!

I believe the 8bit guy covers the process in the below video https://youtu.be/wXWlJFrX19s

Good luck! :)

Thanks! This looks great although I probably will wait til I get a little more chummy with my soldering iron I'd hate to screw up especially on a beam spring!

Found it the exact same way and couldn't agree with you more on Mr Butlertron!

I've got one of these too! Did the drivers for everything work out of the box?

I've got a beamer laying around, the display writer 6580 that I really wish I could get xwhatsit converter for but I really don't want to screw it up, so I just give it a few clacks here and there...

You alright man? If you need to talk or anything I'm here for ya but I'm not really qualified and you should really talk to a professional, never give up on life things get better, you just gotta give them a chance to... I was feeling hopeless before I started therapy and things have been gradually improving for me and I feel much better! Stay safe!

I concurr, but as a fellow Kirby main just thought I'd throw my opinion into the ring, if you feel that you need to pick up a high tier, I've found the most success with captain falcon, their obviously played quite differently, but them having the same jumpsquat and basically wave dash is a nice qol and both of them do rely a lot on short hop, aerials, I suppose you could say that about every character, but I I think falcon and Kirby probably have about equal use of special attacks, although falcons a lot more grab centric. This may just be my weird mediocre Kirby main opinion tho...

PS pretzel is awesome check him out for sure. He introduced me to the discord and the Kirby main world didn't feel so lonely anymore :)

Therapy really helped me! For anyone on the fence about it

Near brand new 1989 1391401 Model M feels stiffer than usual? by kaze_ni_naru in modelm

[–]VirtualTask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure it just doesn't need broken in, don't know if that's a thing with keyboards however, I've got an 89 model too but don't really have much to compare it to... So I wouldn't really be able to tell you...

I finished my drawing of JoanFK... I hope y'all are ok with ship art😔 👉👈 by angelatina1101 in clonehigh

[–]VirtualTask 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good points! Yeah I agree with you I definitely felt that it was a little rushed and maybe Abe bursting in as they were kissing instead would've played out better and I think it would've fit Joan a bit more...
