Re: Star Wars saved !

Andre,

In addition to repairing both monitor boards, I also completly rebuild the
ARII boards as well as the power brick with a new big blue, fuse block,
fuses and bridge rectifier.

You may have seen the pics of it on the thread Power Brick Magic.

Subject: VECTOR: Star Wars saved !

Hi, my main reason for joining this list is that I bought a Star Wars
Cockpit recently, with, of course, no picture. Thanks to the great
Amplifone FAQ by Michael Kelley and the great replacement HVT's from
Cinelabs (thanks again Mark !!!!) it is now up and running again !

Check out this link if you'd like to see pics etc.: http://
forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=68094.0

Anyway, I've got a couple of questions:
1) the screen starts to flicker when there is a lot of text on the
screen. During gamepley it's not doing this at all. Is this normal ?
I thought it would be a cap problem, but someone mentioned on the
above forum that he recapped both monitor PCB's and he still has the
same problem.
Could it be the "Big Blue" ? Or is this normal behaviour ?

2) I've read about the diode mod for the delfection board on both
Atari's tec tip and the Amplifone FAQ, but can someone tell me what
this does or why I should do the mod ?

Thanks for any help !

André
