I've recently acquired a AKF12 monitor which was working great for a good few hours, but now doesn't seem to supply any power to the tube. There is a faint whine. I was actually away from it as it failed, but when I came back to it, it was warm and had a familiar hot electronics aroma! I've yet to open it up to investigate. It'll be my first proper CRT repair, but I also have an Amstrad CTM644 that needs my attention with a very similar fault, apologies if that's a swear on here!
I'd only just recently replaced the common failed power switch, having scavenged a similar one from an old PC AT power supply.
Anyway, I was curious to know if you ever found out what the issue was with the monitor the second time around? Some great videos by the way.
I may be new on here, but I have been a long time lurker and it's a treasure trove of information, thank you.
