Re: Re[2]: 6100

Well I looked at the cost of that, and opted to go the
route of just getting an aftermarket deflection...and
this is after already spending on the Zanen kit.... I
mean look for mpsu06 or 07 and you are looking at 9$
apiece just for those...and those are the parts I
could identify... Looking back on it (and hindsight is
always 20-20) that would have now been the cheapest
and best way probably...compared to the 300$us+ I have
spent on deflection and HV on 'each'... add on the
lv2000's as well... I could have just bought 2 more
monitors.

But I thought with new stuff these would be
bulletproof for years.
There are just too many issues I have in these cabs to
know what is right or wrong in them until I get at
least ONE going...in which I did in the Gravitar
cabinet (space duel pcb..but doesn't help with
Tempest)...It has the same AR that was only giving me
14volts on the 36vac posts..but that seems to work in
the Grav cab fine (rgvac not a single reply to this on
if it was normal)..monitor doesn't care... I just
cannot shake in the Temp it was a voltage issue when I
measure 4,500vdc at anode while game is playing and
the pots on the old HV and the new arcadeshop one did
nothing to adjust it...Part of my frustration here
seems like out of 11 games I bought I was hoping each
would be one thing...the thing that caused it to die
and be pulled off route or whatever..back in the 90's
when I did this before I can't count how many games I
bought for 100$ or less that were as simple as a
fuse..etc.. these on the other hand are almost like
extremely nice cabs that were kept as cabs, but over
the years had one non-working part after another put
into them, or swapped out until every part was
defective...
Live and learn I guess.
