@JoesComputerMuseum sent me an Apple Composite Monitor along with the Apple //e, and it worked once. It's acting as if one if the ICs inside then failed... @AdamsApplesRetro sent me an analog board to attempt to repair said monitor, and I think April Apples is as good of a time as any to try to repair the monitor. I'm tired of it being just a background object waiting repair.

Last week, I recapped the replacement analog board, but, due to the number of capacitors on the board, didn't have time to test the analog board. Well, tonight's the night.

Will I remember how the monitor goes back together? Will the replacement analog board work? Will I end up swapping parts between the two analog boards? You'll have to watch to find out!
