Has anyone successfully repaired a VR201?

We have four of them which all died the same way, the display compressed
horizontally to about 1 inch wide in the centre of the screen
followed by smoke from the back of the monitor. Upon
examining the inside it appears that one component (looks like maybe it
used to be a diode ) has melted. I don't have the maintenance prints
for the beast, and DEC wants over $300 for a copy.

Have you experienced this, and if so have you found a solution.

Does anyone have a set of prints they'd like to give away or sell cheap
(cheap being ~ $50 or less ) ?

Any help will be much appreciated.
