Hi, I have a 15v2000 that doesn't fire up the tube. I have neck glow, but nothing on the screen. It's one of two things... either the HV Diode or the cable coming from the flyback to the HV Diode. I know I have voltage there, but there's a split in the sheathing coming out of the flyback right before the HV Diode which just created some nice arcing. So I know that HV is getting there, but it's not getting through the HV diode, either because it's a problem, or because there's a split in the sheathing.

So my question is, can I just direct swap a flyback from a G05? It's the one from another Asteroids cocktail, but there's no chassis board, just the power/HV board. I can take the flyback off and put it on the other if you think it will work. What you do you thinK?

Interchangeable? I know that parts are, but they're slightly different. If someone has done this, lemme know. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

Thanks in advance.

Woo~
 
OK, progress

I don't think I need to change the flyback or the HV Diode... at least I seem to be getting something to the tube.

It was killing me, so I took the HV Diode out and cleaned the insides of the connectors - which were full of crap, rust dust, etc. - and I also went a little nuts! and put the HV Diode from the G05 in and after a little while, I got a white dot on the screeen! Promising. I never had gotten the tube charged before. Also, I put the original HV Diode back and though I got nothing on the screen, there was a little voltage in there when I discharged it.

I'm getting there, albeit slowly. I'll keep digging.
