Star Wars Amplifone - Lost Horizontal Deflection ...
Ok, I know what most folks are probably going to say, but I am throwing this out there anyway.
The Amplifone (or so I think) in my Star Wars is acting up again. The left side of the screen is collapsing. I pulled the deflection board to do a visual inpection and found no obvious problems. When I put it back in, the screen was fine for several hours before it collapsed again.
Questions.
Do you think this is a problem with the deflection board or something else? I realize it's hard to say, but I am looking for someone who is willing to speculate and provide troubleshooting tips.
Should I just walk through the Deflection Board Upgrade section of the Amplifone FAQ and leave it at that?
The only thing I have done to this deflection board is replace R76, but it does appear as if it's been capped in the recent past. All other mods (diode, brown jumpers) have not been done.
