RE: Wells Gardner "display corrector"...

G'day Clay,

What a coincidence given that I recently dug up my Tempest to Major
Havoc translator board! Can your board be used for Quantum....as I
remember it used the Ampliphone monitor so it needs correcting too?

Where exactly does this kit go? Above the deflection section of the
main PCB, or on the deflection board of the WG monitor? If I knew, I
might be able to figure out on my own if this kit is usable for Quantum.
 I'm about to carve up a plain end card (probably from Black Widow) to
an Atari EM cage to translate from Space Duel to Quantum...maybe this is
where I'd mount your kit?

ps - I guess that'd be a "I'll take one response," from me, Clay.
