Re: Microvitec Cub 1431 Power but no picture.
Smashing monitors and tough as old boots. If it's led a hard life then capacitors going low or resistors going high are the main culprits. The cubs also suffered from bad joints in all the usual places such as power components and pcb headers, SMPSU and LOPT inductors.
The siemens TDA4600 series psu's are luckily easy to fix if necessary. If there's a short on the secondary they usually whistle painfully with a slowly decreasing tone when powered off.
The toshiba crts last forever, (did they use others too, I forget?) I've had them with clear text burned solidly into the phosphors but still capable of a bright sharp picture.
Some of the older transluscent poppy connectors had a habit of pinging off as you discharged the final anode so mind it doesn't fall across a bare arm.....
