Fixing a vertical linearity problem in a TRS-80 video monitor

lovely little write up, but...

in this image of your board my eyes kept being draw to this capacitor, it could be a trick of the eye, but it looks like its curved at the top (ie needing to be replaced) what your though on that ?

Hi Patrick,

Yes, well maybe. The screen works fine but now that you have pointed it out, it does merit a check. I did check some of the other caps to see if they were in tolerance but I can't remember if I checked this one.

As electronic stores are closed due to COVID-19 (and so is courier mail) I can't get a replacement at the moment but certainly something to check out later. I'll make a note. Thanks for altering me to it.

Nice job Terry. I much prefer the Aussie/new zealand model 1 monitor to the one in the states.

By the way i saw that esr meter of yours on ebay and gave it some serious thought. Inline testing would be nice.
