Yep, it should. I must confess that I haven't tried it recently. I decided
to just shoot for the 90% market and document the Star Wars mods.
(Basically it takes the un-amplified signals from the outputs of the digital
switches, +/- 15V, and then borrows the output line to put the new X
deflection signal out to the monitor.)

It would actually be easier on Major Havoc (at least the kit boards) since
they have those jumper wires that bring the pre-amplifier signals out to the
card edge for exactly this purpose. Only functional difference is that the
one I made allows for a variable amount of correction depending on personal
preference...
