I have a WG 6100 vector in a Tempest which has been giving me nothing but trouble. I capped it, replaced the chassis mounted transistors, with no luck.
Next it was sent off for repair which seemed like it was going to be a win - it was rebuilt and tested before shipping back.
When I hooked it up no picture and I was missing voltage on some of the connector pins on the HV board.
Fast forward a few frustrating weeks and I power it up and find that I have voltage on the first and last pin of the P connectors on the deflection board. I go around to all the chassis mounted transistors and find either ~25v or ~30v on each one. Now, I have the upper left quadrant displaying an image while missing the other 3/4 of the screen.
Anyone got any ideas here? The only thing I can think of is when I was probing the top of those P connectors I might have pushed on the wires a bit and made a solid connection where there might have been none before. I am considering either pulling the wires and re-punching them down or possibly replacing the connectors all together but at this point I think I am grasping at straws.
