If you could wish for anything....

I'm trying to design too much stuff and resulting in getting nothing
done. So let's see what interest there is in any of this stuff.

Test monitor. A small (12" or under) black and white vector monitor
that couldn't be damaged by bad boards. I have a small number of vector
yokes that would fit a 20 mm neck b&w tube. A bullet proof deflection
board is easy enough for a small monitor. I also have 300+ Sony
flybacks laying around that could power a small tube. I even have some
5" tubes, but that may be too small. Any ideas if this is a worthwhile
project to pursue and what size tube would be ideal.

Replacement for Keltron. Kind of goes back to the 300+ Sony flybacks
above. Pursue it or drop it?

Replacement for 19 KV vector high voltage power supplies. Supposedly
everyone is about to announce this one. Mine is based on the flyback
used in the WG K7000. Turns out there is a company that makes flybacks
(HR Diemen) that makes a replacement for the K7000 flyback. For all I
know they might even be the OEM for them. MCM Electronics sells the HR
part at a decent price. The advantages to using this particular part,
as I see it, are 1) availability, 2) price, 3) already know it is likely
to work with our tubes, 4) has a built-in HV bleeder to discharge the
CRT, 5) can be it's own isolation transformer if run off the power
line. Should I keep running with this or let others come out with
competing products and hope they work?

Entire vector monitor. I presently have possible CRT/yoke combinations
tracked down for 19", 25", 27", and 33". I think I also have an
indestructible deflection board design. Cut bait or run? What's the
most likely to be useful sizes?

Replacement G08 deflection board. Same indestructible design I
mentioned above. Do it or chew it?

Replacement for Fluke 9010A that interfaces a Fluke pod to a computer.
Any need for it?

Universal pod for Fluke 9010A. One pod with interchangeable cartridges
to handle just about any processor used in arcade games, including a few
that Fluke never supported. Would probably kill the market for Fluke
pods (great...after I just bought a bunch of them...). Any interest?

Any interest in anyone helping to build any of this?

Should I just go back to bed?

I obviously can't do all of these simultaneously, I have neither that
kind of time or resources to do it. But I'd like to get a feel for what
is most likely to be useful. What is most likely to sell. (What is
most likely to pay for doing the rest of it).
