PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
And of course I’ve spoke too soon, the HT has now started to make that distinct high pitched whine that it does. Fortunately I have a spare analogue board, so let’s hope the pinout is the same.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

@rubber_jonnie especially when your spare analogue board is slightly different annoyingly. It’s got a different Ht coil. Might have another somewhere, fingers crossed.

Same machine but the analog board must be a different revision.rubber_jonnie wrote: Mon Mar 04, 2024 4:49 pmIs it from the same machine or something different?PhilC wrote: Mon Mar 04, 2024 4:42 pm @rubber_jonnie especially when your spare analogue board is slightly different annoyingly.

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
@rubber_jonnie hopefully it will but the other board I have has a slightly different connection for the wires going to the CRT, nothing I can’t fix though.

In what way are they different? For the neck board or the coils around the neck?PhilC wrote: Mon Mar 04, 2024 5:34 pm @rubber_jonnie hopefully it will but the other board I have has a slightly different connection for the wires going to the CRT, nothing I can’t fix though.

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
@rubber_jonnie its the deflection coils plug that’s the main difference, the spare board has an offset pin but this one doesn’t. Then of course I haven’t got and radial 2200uf or 470uf caps to complete the recap.
I’m going to see if I can find a new HT coil for it. Something a bit like this.
