After looking for almost two years to get my hands on IBM 5153, i finally found one on flea market. One in a lot of four old displays.
Got:
- IBM 5153, fully working, finally my 5160 will be happy
- IBM 8513 (PS/2 color VGA), also works,
- Highscreen HP-548, or better known as Commodore 1081 - works too (A500 likes this),
- Zenith ZVM-1240-E - Hercules, amber, unfortunately dead.
At first, magic smoke escaped, this was traced to filter cap (.22uF 280v). No big deal - it should work without this cap. Unfortunately fuse was blown too, after replacing it blew up too.
PCB has no signs of any damage/corosion/burn marks; overall condition of this monitor is very good. However it's a long time since I last serviced any CRT.
I see a few mentions of service manual for this model in web, most of them points to scam sites. Found P/N "860-0111-1" on old Packard Bell FTP, but this also leads nowhere.
Yup, didn't check even capacitors yet (since I have no time for deeper diagnostic now), but I try to at least get prepared for when the time comes.
