I've been watching an Olympus OEV143 monitor on eBay for a while now.  Sold as is for parts/repair.  It appears that the screen is stretched out horizontally and he says it can't be adjusted out in the listing.  There's a picture of the on screen menus in the listing as well, and you can see what the picture is doing.

I asked Ian about a cap kit, and I haven't been able to find a manual on this exact model that's free and I'm hesitant about paying one of those online places that sells PDF manuals.  Physical manuals seem to be non-existent.  This is a 14", 13.x" viewable, medical grade professional video monitor.  Made by Sony, for Olympus and sold as a video endoscopy monitor.  Internally, it's the exact same as a Sony medical grade PVM so a manual for one of those models might cross-reference.  I figure the easiest thing to do would be to acquire it for cheap and make a cap list.

The breakdown:  He has this listed at $14.55 buy it now, or best offer.  I offered $5 for shits and giggles, figuring it would be declined.  He counters with $13, so I suppose that's the minimum that he wants to take or at least close to it.  Shipping to me is $30.44 as these things are notoriously heavy for their size, making the grand total at the current offer $43.44.  Normally, a PVM this size would come close to $100, so would this be a fair shot at recapping?

As a side note, part of me wonders if they realize there's horizontal/vertical adjustments in the menus.  They have the "Phase" knob adjusted full up.

well it turns on, thats a huge start. it could be as simple as a cap kit but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a control for the fill.
