Hi.

I bought a DEC VT320 (CRT serial terminal) a couple of years ago. While it functions properly, the image is a bit warped. Does anyone here have experience working with this kind of thing? I'm guessing it'll need a re-cap (or at the bare minimum some tweaking of it's adjustment pots), but I'm not comfortable opening up and working on something with a CRT in it.

Thanks.

bring it down, I'll show you how to ground the HT safely.

First step is usually to vacuum all the dust out and see if it comes right,
then wait a while to see if anything goes bang (because the HT voltage is
back closer to what it's supposed to be) - after that looking at caps is
probably the next step

When is Makerspace open these days? The site still says it's open on Saturdays from 1pm-5pm, but someone from one of the other groups at the workspace said it hasn't been open on Saturdays for a while.

Sorry about that, our website could use a more attentive caretaker!
