   I have a sick Symbolics monitor, model 3670.  When I turn it on, I get
   a little noise on the speaker and the LEDs inside the monitor read "FF0".  
   I don't get anything on the monitor.

   Does anyone know how to read these LEDs?

They're only useful when you put the monitor into diagnostic mode (there's
a toggle switch on the controller board); they can be used to debug the
firmware.  This is not something anyone should need to do these days.

I'm going from memory, but I think FF0 is a normal value.  Your problem is
probably the high-voltage power supply (it powers the tube, but not the
electronics) or the tube itself.  In either case, there's not much you can
do but replace the failing component.
