Does anyone have an Early Cine vector monitor with the HV Cage? I've got two of these early units that someone tossed the cage, and I'm getting HV RF jitters. Would like to re-make them to get rid of the RF problems.

Need pictures and measurements from all sides.

Thanks

This vs This? I believe I've only seen the latter version w/ KELTRON. Very interesting ... :)

Wow, first time I've seen those cages other than one previous photo from John over at John's Jukes. Thanks for the assist. I may need one of those made for my Space Wars.
 
not looking to hijack.

Pat, do you happen to have a deflection board for one of these monitors? The drive section doesnt need to work nor does the HV. I plan on building a test fixture for Cinematronics CCPU's so I need a digital to analog converter for my scope. :)
 
Ok cage built.

I used some 26g aluminum as well it's easy to bend by hand in the vice.

Drilled and riveted it together, and works like a charm.

Let me know if the images don't work. I'm not used to linking from Google.

So, by saying "works like a charm", it did remove the jitter? Ah, Faraday, you smart genius you ...

The pics work but they are HUGE. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Yes no more jitter. As soon as I got the monitor working I knew what it was. Google image search showed there was a cage, but previous owner tossed it I guess.
