Joe in Texas:
CRT monitors are a horse of a different wagon compared to LCD animals.
The power supply is an integral part of the CRT monitor, not a little black box detatched from
the main circuitry.
I can understand replacing electro-caps on a CRT monitor....it makes sense.
It's either replace the caps or throw the whole thing away.
But where you have the power supply sitting outboard, then it makes sense to just
s--t can the power supply and spring a few bucks for a fresh, brand new "brick".
I think I have about five or six "bricks" of various output voltage and current capability
that I can use to experimentally replace a busted original equipment brick on any piece of equipment
that goes south as a result of power supply failure..
