It appears that it should be. Almost looks like I could install it while the deflection board is still attatched if I were real lazy.

Is there a quick tutorial on it? to make sure I don't mess it up.
 
Pull the deflection board. You need to remove about 12-15 parts from the chassis, then solder three spots when installing the LV6100 or LV2000....

thanks for the reply.
I guess I could google, lv6100 installation
and get a how-to huh?

I had just assumed it was remove the 2 big caps and replace with the lv unit.

5 spots... 3 posts (ground, and the emitter pins from the transistors removed when stripping the power section), and 2 wires (+/- 30V power input)
 
LV6100 is mine... and the name LV2000 makes no sense, since it's for a WG 19K6100, not a 19V2000 :)

LV6100 has +/-24V fixed voltage regulators, and all through-hole parts

LV2000 has adjustable regulators (shipped set to 26V?) and mostly surface mount parts... (and their surface mount diodes in particular seem to have a high failure rate)

And LV2000's are in stock at several vendors. :rolleyes:

Just a friendly reminder that I still need four LV6100s when you have time to get them built. :D

Thanks,

Something tells me that Mark could make a bit of dough if he (or someone else) would build a website describing his parts, their prices, and the availability of each part.

I actually started capturing the content from his posts for my own reference. It comes in handy so you don't have to search for everything.
 
Once I get my fios installed (running cat5 around the house now), I'm going to look into getting a domain set up. I may end up setting up shop on adam's website though.

Congrats on the fios! I got it when I moved into my current house last year. Now that it is cooling down, I have a few more cat 5 drops to put in myself. I ran some conduit between two of my attics last year after it got hot like an idiot. It should be much easier to run the new drops since I can pull the lines through the conduit back to the attic over my patch panel. Anyway, good luck getting all the drops in.

The LV6100 is made by Mark Spaeth, otherwise known as HudsonArcade here on KLOV. He's just mentioned having some done, so you'd better contact him in a hurry if you want some. Unfortunately, Mark doesn't have anything for me to link to (that I know of) detailing it.


The LV2000 is made by Jeff Hendrix. you can read more about it here:
