Well, it might be a better bet to pull the logic board (power supply board) from a good working SE and place it into the SE/30's chassis.
Okay, so they are interchangeable. That makes things easier.
Let me step back a bit. My initial thought of swapping the logic boards was born of the combination of this intermittent video glitch and the dimness of the display. I took the dimness to be a weakness of the CRT rather than a power supply issue. Is that a good assumption? If it is, then at some point I'll need to deal with replacing that as well, hence the thought that a logic board transplant would be easier, assuming one had the spare machine to transplant into.
Of course so would repairing the bad components on the analog board of the SE/30.
But the prior action takes less time.
And less skill. I'm fairly handy with a soldering iron, but my analog (in the broader electronic sense) diagnostic skills aren't strong. That combined with all those video volts makes me a little hesitant to dive into that particular board while it's the only one I have.
