Elektor published a design for a Cap/ESR meter.

John's Jukes in Vancouver BC sells a kit which has been recommended.

Hmmmmm, well, I don't like chasing ghosts... I suppose it would have
helped to have viewed the monitor before all this started. That would be
in a perfect world.

I'm working on this one for a video editor friend of mine, he's awfully
demanding :-) Sometimes pretty hard on the equipment too, but amazing to
watch work.

I'll take a look at ESR meters that have been suggested in the thread. I
actually have most of the Elecktor issues that were released here in the
states, to many neat articles and projects to pitch them. I'll go back
and take a look there as well.

Thanks for the response.

I'll have to take a peek, I have a bunch of the Elektor issues that
were released here in the States, then they went away, not enough
circulation I suppose.

I'll take a peek and the suggestions you all have made.

Thanks for the information/suggestions.

I can post the Elektor article if you want it, but IIRC it uses a custom PIC
chip so you'll need to source that.

It's off the bench, The 'retrace' lines were indeed, as pointed out,
supposed to be there.

There was a slight mis-communication on exactly where the 'retrace'
lines were occurring on the display. Initially they were showing up
on the display due to the 'foldover' issue (caps fixed this). I saw
the foldover in the 4:3 mode and they pointed at the 'lines' and said
there weren't there, now they are, make 'em go away. Ha...

Did the basic alignment on the monitor, tweaked the centering with
a couple of different 'live' signals, let my friend look at it and
go through all the modes on it and he's happy.

I appreciate all the assistance with this issue.

Whatta ya know, USNET groups do still have some use left in them.
