Hey,
I've been struggling with a WG U5000 monitor, and finally got it working for the most part. Someone used it for parts, and cut out a bunch of transistors, diodes, resistors, caps, etc... I put them all in, replaced a bad resistor, and finally got it working.
I've read that the B+ for most monitors should be set to 130v. Why is it that on this monitor, it specifically lists the B+ at 155 when running at medium res of 25khz?

Is the manual wrong?
I have a vertical deflection issue, where the monitor occasionally shrinks vertically a few inches and then expands back to full size. I'd like to get the B+ right before trying to fix that. Does anyone know what would cause that shrinkage? I have the troubleshooting guide from WG and I plan on checking the components they list as causing problems with vert. deflection.
