Re: A few WG6100 tips and tricks

This cannot be much other than the beam hitting the left side of the screen,
outside the front screen. Electrons will bounce back and attracted to the
front by the Hi Voltage Anode that is on the front . This creates this
effect you see.

Also because you say the Tempest action is shefted left.

If you disconnect the Yoke, and carefully turn up the screen control, do you
get a dot in the middle?

flickering and electron scatter during specific moments, such as the TEMPEST
logo fly-in and attract screen changes. The effect takes place over the left
side of the screen, with the right side totally black. As you can see from
the pics, as the screens change, the pattern changes slightly, getting
brighter as certain events take place. Picture 2 was taken during the
TEMPEST fly-in. The markings you see on the tube are phosphor burn.
