Re: Video Goes Away After 1-3 minutes

Not sure what a spot killer is? I believe I can hear the usual high pitched noise coming from the CRT so it is getting some sort of power. I can turn the brightness up on the flyback and I don't see a spot. When it cuts out I hear sort of an electrical clicky sound.

Also not sure what Vector chatter is, but if it's what I think it is (audible changes when rendering vector images) then no I don't hear anything after it goes out.

Alas, I have neither a spare board nor monitor :(
