Build my own little rig (with resistor). Worked great.
And I found out the reason I'm having
1) dimmer center (19v2000)
2) size bouncing
It's because one of the legs on the HV diode is broken off. I'm surprised it was working as well as it was! I suppose others have experienced this before…?

One I like to see current bleed off slowly; after I repaired the high voltage sections; I use the prob to calibrate the hv. In my opinion they are worth the money and would never go back to doing monitor repair without it.
