Re: Arcing in tube on WG 19K6100 monitor

could be one of any combination of shorts,

tube rejuvenation would be your first port of call, if you have a decent
rejuvenator (like mine, BK model 490 ;) then you can sort most shorts out,
some shorts are irrecoverable tho.

at least the 490 tells you the nature of the short before you tickety boo
press a button and kill the short :)

Subject: VECTOR: Arcing in tube on WG 19K6100 monitor

> After moving my Space Duel, the (WG 19K6101) monitor wouldn't work. I
took a peek in the back and saw a bunch of arcing inside the neck of the CRT
just forward of the convergence rings. I swapped the tube with my spare
6100 and the problem follows the tube. Both 6100 chassis, HV units, and
neckboards are good

perhaps a tube rejuvination could fix? Any ideas on what exactly might
cause this or possible remedies?
