Presto - worked fine for a few weeks in a Tempest then dead with no HV. That is, there was no crackle as you switch the unit on. I had left it on over night so I never saw what happened but the game plays blind and you can hear the loud yoke chatter.

check the wiring behind the focus/screen pots - they break off under the rubber covers.
