RE: Arcadeshop Amplifone HV boards [or Red really is DEAD ]

The HV board was designed as a WG HV replacement. The 2 transistors use the
WG cage as a heat sink (which the amplifone doesn't have).

The replacement board is smaller than the amplifone HV unit. I had to move
the wood rails closer together.
