Hey all-
I am having trouble with my Wells 6100 on my Tempest. The monitor currently has the "shakes" (I will post a video later tonight). For the most part it isn't too bad when playing the game, but seems to shake quite a bit more when you are at the high score screen or it is displaying the demo screen w/ additional text at the bottom.
I installed the "deluxe" cap kit from Bob Roberts w/ the additional parts. The only thing that I didn't install was the pot (R918) that is part of the high voltage PCB. I also didn't install the extra transistors that are listed as now being too expensive (Q603, Q604, Q703, Q704).
After reading through old forum posts, I decided to measure B+. It hovers between 176 and 179 but doesn't ever remain stable. There are slight fluctuations all the time.
One more quick note, I tested Tempest w/ a 6100 from my Space Duel and it is completely stable, so the problem appears to be isolated to the monitor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
