i have a VT100 that is working fine (powers on, navigates setup,
saves/restores settings, etc) but has an unpleasant burning/ozone odor
coming from the rear of it. i suspect something is running hot but i am not
sure what, i do not currently have an IR camera in my hands- working on
that. the original power supply has failed and is currently in storage, so
the terminal is being powered by an ATX power supply and adapter board for
the time being. this eliminates the usual R27 as being the culprit.

as best i can tell, the smell is strongest just above the power
distribution board, around the neck of the CRT. appreciate any suggestions
you might have!
