You could probably use a Sega vector transformer on the LL monitor, its
only a couple volts more..

you'd need 2 variacs wired in series & adjusted to the same voltage. The
transformers shouldn't have to be any larger than 3 to 4 amps.

There's no real need to burn in a monitor. If it works
let it "burn in" while it's in the game and you're playing it. The wico
gen wasn't designed for that anyway..it was designed for calibrating the
monitors.. a use for which it probably almost never got used for.. what op
cares about convergence? Its kind of a miracle it got built or that
anybody bought them.. it wasn't even designed for use on a bench, but in
the back of a game where you already have a working game board.
