I have an MS-2931 that's been sitting unused in my basement for at least 10 years. I decided to put it in my Astro City while I wait for my MS8 to get repaired and am having some problems with it. (Just to be clear it's the whole monitor (tube+chassis) that I swapped, not just the 2931 chassis on the MS8 tube, if that would even work.)
Every 10-30 seconds, more frequently on cold start, it will click and the picture will pulse larger with the click.
It's also got the black goo leak on the chassis.
My first guess is maybe the flyback is arcing internally, but I have no idea.
Picture looks perfect otherwise. And as I've been writing this post it seems to have stopped clicking.
Edit: it didn't stop clicking.
