RE: VECTOR: WG6100 display problemsDennis,
I have had this problem before and I replace the AVG w/Clay's substitute
http://www.multigame.com/AVG.html

p.s. Also look into reflowing the solder on the wires leading to the chassis
trans, they often get lose from handing and give weird display anomalies.

  I have two AVG PCBs, but only a single AVG processor. If I test on the
other AVG PCB, I have to move the processor from one to the other. The same
display problems exist on both boards using the same processor. I was
wondering if the processor could be responsible, but the consensus so far
seems to suggest that it is unlikely.

  Dennis,

     I don't remember seeing this in any of the
  messages, but do you know for sure that the SW
  boardset is OK? I've seen this problem with Tempest
  and it was a problem in the analog output section of
  the vector generator, not the monitor.
