heh. i just got a dedicated boardset, so it will not have the jumpers. But i need it to have them so i can use it with the MH to Tempest adapter.

I have a conversion board, but would rather have the dedicated (since it's going in to a 'dedicated' cab with Amplifone). Want to trade?
But what makes you think our cabinet maker extraodinaire who coincidentally is looking for a dedicated Havoc CP, isn't going the same route?![]()

Yeah, I saw that later but...
So hope springs eternal. I can de-convert mine (including changing the crystals) but it will still have the CK prefix on the serial number sticker. Oh well. First world problem.
Actually, i have someone well known on here willing to swap boards, i picked up the conversion board to tempest, i have a tempest to strip, and i may have a trade worked out for a dedicated CP. Even though i do not have an Amp, i did find an NOS 6100 tube, so i'd think the value would be comparable with an Amp.
FYI, I just changed the crystals on my conversion board from the slower (conversion) frequencies to the higher (dedicated) ones. Y1 went from 10MHz to 12MHz, and Y2 went from 8.98675MHz to 10MHz. Also had to change the AVG chip as it had died while in storage. The board plays fine.
I haven't undone the X signal bypass since I'm still using the converter board (it's in a Space Duel cab). So the mods are confirmed to be completely independent (as expected).
Will get some video of the board running on both the Amplifone and WG6100 to see if there's a noticeable difference.

thread revive! Here's an update.. i am no longer going to use the tempest harness and adapter.. i'm going to use this instead:

this has the pincushion corrector, but i now have an amp monitor, so i wonder how that will affect it.
I assume i still have to swap crystals, but what about the jumpers? I really suck at anything electronic, i'd have to forget everything i know about woodworking to have room in my brain to learn the electronic side of things.
