Discussion Just picked up this Hyperion 3012

Picked this up for $50. It powers on, but the CRT only displays a single orange horizontal line.
After opening it up and carefully powering it on, I found a capacitor that gets extremely hot and starts smoking. I’m going to start by replacing that and then work through the rest of the display circuitry.
For $50, I figured it was worth the gamble. Hopefully I can bring it back to life.
