RE: 6100 Wavey Letters

Have you replaced the filter caps in the HV cage? Those can lead to trouble
and try and use the 105C caps, some of the 'cap kits' are not very good
with respect to special caps (low ESR or high temp) they just go for the
cheapest...

We stock a number of high temp caps for vertical deflection on the
Electrohome rasters, and the HV cage on the WG XY's...

Oh, and as we are a shop, perhaps I will charge you $0.00 for the advice
;-) let's not go there...
