Interesting, I have a smaller 9" JVC and it has S-Video inputs. Should be from the same time period. I wonder why they would go with a proprietary connector for their larger monitors.

As far as I know, there are no truly "vintage" CRTs that have achieved meme status like the Sony PVMs. The FW-900 and the F520 are pretty solidly in meme territory (pic related), as are their variants (the SGI and Sun versions even moreso). Speaking of which, I have a Sun Microsystems monitor which is apparently worth several hundred bucks, but mainly because it's purple and says "Sun" on it. I think UNIX autism is the main driver behind that.

I would guess that you have a bad flyback transformer. But it could also be caps failing. I found a shop within an acceptable driving distance that purports to rebuild flybacks, using some kind of Russian wizardry, but I've never tried them out. Usually when that component goes it's the end of the monitor.
