[Coco] CM-8 monitor

[Arthur Flexser]

There's always the strategy of opening it up and checking for capacitors
that appear swollen, no schematic required.  Electrolytic capacitors that
have died of old age is a very common cause of failure in old monitors.

Be aware when replacing these that some capacitors have a polarity,
contrary to what many of us learned in school.  (I forget why this is.)
