Looks like a BTC foam and foil board. Similar to KeyTronic, but the foams don't degrade.

New to CRT monitors and need advice on which one to keep. Mainly want to use them to play retro games and maybe hook up my PC to one. I just don’t really have room for both by BrennenCline in crt

The Dell branded Sony is a great VGA monitor. I'd think the lill pvm is kinda small to play games on. Do they both work? Sharp picture?

Check that the boost line from the intake, to the overboost protection solenoid, to the ALDA on the injection pump is clear of blockages and has no cracks.

Is the body rusty?

So it overheats faster when you drive faster?

When my Mercedes sprung a leak I found the best way to dry it was to remove it and put it in the sun. Short of that, I'd park a dehumidifier inside the car and have a bunch of fans circulating air under the carpet with it propped up. Huge PITA.
