I was just talking to a friend of mine that repairs monitors and he
believes he can get one of his technicians to find a workable
(work-a-round) HV transformer to replace the Wintron for much less $$. He
repairs hundreds of computer monitors a month by the way, and these
monitors come in all sizes and have the frequency range we need to fire up
the Wintron!

Stay tuned, I do have to supply him with a working HV unit though, and I'm
not sure if I have stock....if I get him one to play with he will give me
an answer within one week...
