RE: WG 6400 & Aztarac questions, Aztarac pieces found

If I remember right, the 6400 requires the same input voltage swing as the
G08
(I know cosmic chasm could take either monitor)

To overcome this problem, pick up one of Clay's display correctors and
populate it with the parts needed to boost the input signal.
Or you can just play with a smaller screen.

Joe, I went ahead and snipped this a bunch, and posted to the list since
others may have input on what parts are correct for your machine. Hope
nobody minds.

>assembly?

Which transformer assembly do you mean? At least most Centuri raster stuff
would only have a 1:1 isolation transformer for the monitor, which is
fairly universal. I haven't seen a Centuri vector machine to compare. If
the boardset power was supplied by a transformer/linear power supply combo,
I haven't personally seen one. All the Centuri stuff I've worked with had
already been converted to a switcher.

I haven't seen a WG 6400 monitor before, but I do have two spare HV cages
for a 6100. I doubt they work, but I'm piecing together a 6100 for a
Tempest over the next few days, and will be able to test them. One is
already spoken for, though (Greg.) I would be willing to bet that a 6100
monitor would work just fine in your machine, and even though tough to
find, should prove easier than a 6400. In fact, I would imagine the
boardset is harder to find than a color vector monitor, which seems tough
enough alone.

Not to discourage you...it would be cool to see that machine up and running
again.
