MMm.. I've seen this once.. Bloke had his M128 in the kitchen in winter.
Cooking, Condensation, back of tube, Anode cap, HT, tracking, tube base,
cable, cracking from monitor, smoke from master 128 as it grounded the
HT coming into its RGB out via its video ULA and most surrounding circuitry.
I still have the corpse in my attic!
Also took out the red drive trannie on the tube base, but that was easy
to fix.
Cheers!
