For a rough test, set the switches on the back to 'Internal sync' and
'Terminated' (they'll be set like this if it was used on a 'Bow) and then
feed a composite mono signal into the green BNC socket. 'Internal Sync'
is sync-on-green, of coruse.

If yoy get a green image on the screen, then the monitor is basically
working. You could still have a problem with the red or blue video
amplifiers, but theyr'e not hard to fix (unlike the horrible
PSU/horizontal deflection system -- I still shudder when I remember that
schematic!).
