Also the computer itself *was* semi-working.. with the monitor board disconnected, voltages were good and I could blindly type in a simple endless loop program and get the ‘BUSY’ light to light up when I ran it.
I don’t have the computer just yet and my tech guy didn’t have time to try entering something like that. So I’ll have to confirm. He seems to think three indicator lights on the right come up on power on now and then go out. The power light at the bottom appears to be dead.

That has been fixed, however we still do not have any kind of prompt or anything appearing. Wondering if anyone has any ideas on where to go from here? I'm picking up the machine this week and will do some more testing.. hopefully the board didn't take any damage while he was working on the CRT.
