Title: Cherry Master Bad CRT?
Post by: evilfud on March 04, 2013, 02:33:54 AM
I just bought a Cherry Master on Craigslist for $60 This is what the screen is doing. I see only the bottom row. I can sort of see the top two but the are squished tiny and it has a dark spot. Is the old CRT just bad? Or is there a possible setting or something i can adjust? If i have to replace the CRT can i use this http://www.ebay.com/itm/160902315578?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/160902315578?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) and a 19" HP pc monitor as described in other threads?

Install a cap kit for the monitor... It's not too hard to do.

Not even sure what that is Can you tell me where to look for that and should it fix my problem?

Look on the Bob Roberts web site for a large # of monitor pictures that may help you identify your monitor: http://www.therealbobroberts.net/monitor.html

Once you ID it, he sells cap kits here: http://www.therealbobroberts.net/caps.html
