Re: WG6100 monitor lv2000 problem

                I think I have a problem with the power supply. Well im
not getting the 10.6 vdc from the Big Blue cap. Its coming out around 5
vdc. When I check the test spot for 10.3 vdc on the A/R II board I get
26 vdc. Im getting + 9 vdc out to the game board instead of the +5 vdc.
Im going to put in a new Big Blue cap and a bridge rectifier. Hopefully
that will solve that problem. Not sure if that is what is causing too
much voltage to go to the deflection board and out of the LV2000.I will
find out soon enough.
