What part of the city are you in? I know for a fact that one of the code inforcement officers is totally clueless on , well, code inforcement. My Father-In-Law owns a business in Lovejoy and he had a few "run-ins" with a code inforcement jerk.

Well, if you don't sell the whole monitor let me know, then we can talk. I wouldn’t want just a tube either.

Would you be willing to sell (and ship) just the boards from the monitor?

+1 for Mike (road.runner). Fixed my AD board, twice. Great guy.

Well I officially give up on this thing. I ran the oscope through the board, testing past each component on the board & I pretty much got an image past a few resistors, pots, transistors, etc... I replaced all transistors, tested all diodes again. No good. If anyone has a deflection board for...

No. The image stays the same when adjusting the pots.

Anyone? Could it be I have a bad HV diode?

Could that be bad even though I'm getting some image?

So all solder joints/connectors are reflowed and tested good. Same screen. While the game plays the lines do not change. they just go back and forth. I'm now stuck. What would cause Q709 to get super hot? A bad yolk? I tested that and I get a couple ohms in both coils.

Well I hooked up my scope and the game shows up fine on it. I reflowed all the headers & re-tested the chissis mounted transistors. Same issue. One strange thing is that Q709 gets pretty hot, while the others do not.

Yeah, I did that a while ago but I will do it again. I just got my o-scope from work so I'll be working on it tonight.

I just noticed the spot killer is on. That means It's not getting xy signal, right? I don't have my o-scope here, it's at work. I'm gonna get it tomorrow.

Well a while ago this monitor was blowing fuses (f700) and burning resistors. Game plays blind and also tested xy out with a o-scope. Works. tested all voltages--ok. Spot killer on, neck glow , all good. Tested and replaced a bunch of components (Q608,609,Q708,709, all damaged/bad resistors...

Not at all :o There's nothing more funner (my own word) than driving around in my 4x4 in a blizzard. I grew up in WNY and have seen the worst snow storms north of Antarctica. There's something about the serenity of snow. Sure it can kill you (freeze), but nothing like a hurricane or tornado.

I love this Winter so far. It's cold and snowy, the way Winter is supposed to be. I just wish we would get some windy snow storms. Nothing beats zero visability.
