Hi,
Anyone remember CGA? I havent seen one in years. This is an industrial CRT monitor with some problems. Model is Lucius & Baer CC14VAO-CH.
It came to me dead. After replacing many electrolytic caps, it came back to life. I generally check capacitance and ESR on all once I find a few suspect.
Probably more trouble than it's worth, but I like old stuff. This monitor requires a H-sync signal before it will run.
The only CGA source I have is a BK Percision 1275. I made up a connection from a serial cable and built a 'gender adaptor' to sort out male/female issue at the monitor. Now, this could be the issue!
In the attached pictures, on solid primary colours, and white, there is a solid wide vertical bar down the screen. This can be moved across the screen with H-Pos pot at the rear of the monitor. On other test patterns, vertical lines look split, and on the color test, RGB looks just a bit odd as in the attached image.
I'm not an expert on monitors, so would appreciate your help. See attached pictures. Any opinions, checks, what should I expect?
Have an basic tools, oscilliscope, DVM etc. and willing to learn more!

But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
