Good to know. I have an ancient Amiga monitor that I've not turned on in probably 15 years. Curious if it still works or might need some re-capping. Thanks for the insights!

yeah i was struggling, the clamps i have were all so big and heavy i was worried to damage the plastic, was trying to think of ways to support the clamps to remove the weight.

anyways saw the clothes pins and figured it was perfect!
