You've not even told us what the problem is!.
Now what _I_ would do is grab the printset (I assume the VT100 printset
is on the web somewhere...) and start by checking the PSU outputs. Are they
all correct?
Then connect a standard RS170 (TV rate) monitor to the video output BNC
socket. Doe you get video there? Does the terminal seem to work on the
external monitor. If so, then the logic board is probably working fine.
Now go back to the internal video syustem. Use an EHT probe to check the
EHT on the CRT anode connector (should be around 12kV I think). Is the
CRT heater glowing? Check the CRT gun electrode voltages. Do they seem
sane?
