Re: Tempest Schematic error?

I haven't tried tying the others high. But no they don't pulse.

I've been trying to track down the VGCK, but so far I haven't been able to
find the origin. Guess my eyes are getting tired from looking at these
schematics.

It's looking like the VSM is dead, and it may be due to the VGCK.
