Oh yeah, I was reading closely since I posed the question about my Cine
monitor.
I've always considered them to be audio amps and the next time one of my
vector
monitors dies in a blaze of glory I'll try using one of my spare car amps.

A while back, Art was asking for a portable vector tester and I suggested
recording
some tones on to a cassette tape then feeding that, via Walkman, to the
monitor.
That's kind of the reverse; testing vector deflection with audio tools.

This building block approach suggests to me that if Cine monitors
become (even more) scarce, someone will save this breed if they come up
with a small board with a couple of DACs and the switcher and hook it to a
complete Asteroids monitor, or to an audio amp and yoke. HV provided as
a separate 'block'. You've already got the hack for that worked out, John.
