Re: Re: Bulk buy on Wintron flybacks

I was just chatting with my friend, John, who has a shop locally that does
nothing but repair monitors, he believes that he can make a voltage limited
HV supply that would run on the original DC supply for about $100US in 50
lots....

This will not be as pretty a box as the ones that Wintron and others make,
but the price is probably much nicer...the box could thus replace either
the WG HV as used in Tempest, and the HV as used in the Ampliphone. These
would use inexpensive common HV flybacks so repairs should be cheap as well...

Any interest?
