Due to a mad adrenallin rush I purchased a sun 2/50 and 2/120 which were in an 'unknown' working state. Turns out that the 2/50 works (although the monitor blew a cap after being on for four hours) and the 2/120 has a bung power supply. I understand these are antiques in the extreme, but I am keen on returning them to their former glory and as such I am in need of help or hardware in the following items: Sun 2/120 power supply - mines dead, 5V rail @ 1V and 12V rail intermittant Sun/Monitech 19" mono monitor - one has a kink in the video on the left side of the picture, tried tuning the pots, to no avail - is this a common problem? The other monitor I have is totally dead, seems to be an older model than the working one, so swapping to locate dead components is not an option, any hints or spares? Finally, the 2/50 is running 2MB RAM on the motherboard and a Sun Memory expansion on the second VME slot, however when it boots only 2MB is reported, any hints? If anyone can help with the above, or has ANY Sun 2 (or 3 for that matter) junk they wish to part with, please e-mail me (news is not working properly) and I will be happy for any help. rgds, ptm
