So I'm at Bob Roberts page and looking through his G07 writeup, I just installed a switcher and being i have 165V at the switcher..I wanna make sure I don't fry the monitor as that seems a little high

Here's what he says about the voltage

To adjust the B+ for 120 VDC you will need to clip your ground lead of your meter to the metal frame anywhere, and the red lead to the end of R01, the large white sand resistor mounted on the left side of the chassis frame as in the pic below, on the furthest terminal with the white wire attached to it. If your voltage is off the 120 mark you need to adjust R909 as shown in the pic below, until you have an exact 120 volts DC.

I can't locate R01 as my g07 is slightly different than the one he has pictured on his page.

Here's a pic...the resister mounted at the end of the white wire (on the monitor metal chassis) has 165 volt to it yet (exactly same incoming voltage on the switcher) when I move the adjusting pod I do get any change thus I think I'm in the wrong spot.

I'm sure this will be a quickie for someone that actually knows what they are doing

Thanks!

Mr. Frømm says (paraphrasing, so as to not come close to violating his copyrights...):

1) Resistor R1 is a place to check the B+. It is a bigass 220ohm 25W white ceramic one, mounted on the side of the chassis. You want to measure the voltage at the end closest to the CRT; it'll have a white wire soldered to it. Relative to ground, this should be 120VDC.

If it's too high, then:

2) Desolder X701 (transistor) & remove it. Try (1) again. If it's now 120V, you've got failure of the voltage regulator. If it's still too high, you're looking at a horizontal deflection problem.
 
THanks..
I got a deal in the monitor forum now.

I have 120 AV from the wall yet 165ish out of the transformer.

Looks like I have something else going on
