Re: RE: WG 6100 Deflection Board Problem

Ok then I have changed a portion of the resistors and
transistors in the Y-Amp area also.Before all this
happened I lost video completely and found a shorted
diode in the X-Amp section,replaced it and got video
back but now I have this problem that I am dealing
with.Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to
remedy it.Thanks.
