Re: Asteroids Deluxe with WG19V2000 problems

The supply I am speaking of is on the game board, there are three voltage
regulators for the DACs, a +5 a +15 and a -15VDC regulator. If the -15 is
dead, then you would only get positive deflection. Just one of many suspects...

Your blooming problem is most likely the HV diode, this is in the middle of
the lead that connects to the side of the picture tube. You can find
replacements in older small B&W TV's, you can pick up from Salvation Army
etc...maybe...perhaps someone here has some experience with this line of
attack (on finding old HV diodes) as I still have a couple of NOS ones,
that are spoken for our in-shop use...
