1081 power buttons

deimos · 04 January 2022, 11:51

Both of my 1081 monitors have iffy power buttons, you have to be quite physical with them to make them work.

I've seen replacement buttons listed for 1084 monitors, but not specifically for 1081s. Does anyone know if they are the same? Or a source for the correct switch?

The same family switch should work for both. Most of the PREH TV3 switches available now are not a direct fit for any 108x monitor, but need a bit of rework or transplanting bits from the old switch.

Nice one, "PREH TV3" seems to be the magic word to google, even bringing up this thread https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1473152 which covers the rework you mention.

Follow up question: Is there a recommended tool to discharge these monitors?

Flat bladed screwdriver with a piece of wire connected between the shaft and corner lug of the tube.
