Long time lurker, first time poster.
I've been struggling with putting a g05-802 in my asteroids cab.
I can't figure out why I don't have neck glow, also spot killer is not on.
I think I've ruled out everything and maybe it's just a bad tube, which I'm not sure what I could do about that.
The previous 801 monitor was arcing at the neck after a roof leak dripped directly on it. After different attempts to save it I assumed the tube was bad and got rid of it. I was kind of scared of the arcing neck
-located an 802 that was parted from an asteroids deluxe in unknown condition although looks very clean, converted harness from g05-801 to use a g05-802
-no blown fuses anywhere in the game
-this is an issue 6 deflection board
-getting heater voltage around 6v from p500 pins 9 and 10 (and the power brick and p100)
-I get heater line continuity from p500 to j800 "neck board"
-Game board X and Y voltages are fine
-tested all the frame transistors and many transistors on the deflection board which all test fine. Althought this shouldn't matter to just get neck glow
-Game plays blind
-if I unhook the connector to the game board then spot killer will light up
-I can't find any visible defects with the tube
