Awesome. You know how hard it is to find date code correct capacitor smoke? I assume you were careful where you stored it. Worst thing is to find the perfect smoke, but it was stored wrong and now isn't salvageable. corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ

Yes! I did save the smoke! I have it in a zip lock bag. I save *everything*. I'm a hoarders hoarder. You never know when you can use some capacitor smoke. It can be quite handy sometimes when repairing monitors.

That's true, there are probably a few different broken things in the warehouse.
Did you remember to capture and save the smoke so I can put it back in?

There is a Commodore monitor that needs repairing in the VCF warehouse. It smoked when Dan and I used it last year. I'm sure that there are many more that need it.

I'm getting my material ready for the monitor repair class I'm doing on Friday, and Jason I know is bringing a monitor with some faults as an example. Looking around, I seem to have fixed most of the broken things i had laying around that were obvious. I'll keep looking, but, has anyone got a monitor that has a fault that they think would make a good demonstration? I *think* Will had one he said he could bring that has messed up vertical, I can ask him to bring that along if he has it handy. But if anyone else has anything convenient, let me know. Preferably monitors that either are self contained terminals, or take composite video, to make getting some video on the screen simpler with limited amounts of hardware.
Thanks!
