Re: Re: Bulk buy on Wintron flybacks

Yes, no, maybe.... ;-) Revisions cost time/money. I'll see though. Would it
be better to cut out if one of the two deflections fails? Or only if both
croak? As I anticipate this will draws it's power from the deflection
supply, if the Positive supply fails then so would the HV cage.

An LED on the cage would be nice to show that at least it has some power...
