Re: Asteroids ? Ships are supersized

Hi John:

I took your advice (below) and scrounged around for an old BW set. The only thing I could find that came close was something I already had--an old 9" bw monitor. I removed its HV diode (pictured at link below)...

My question is will this work? Since it's only a nine inch screen is the HV dependant on screen size like color monitors? Can I assume this diode has sufficient reverse breakdown voltage for the 19V2000's ~14.5kV?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Robert

Note that old B&W TV's from the 70's and early 80's used these HV diodes as did old monochrome computer monitors...check your local thrift shops for these.

Then be sure to discharge the tube using a HV probe or a string of 1meg resistors, Never short a B&W HV anode directly to the chassis - this can damage the HV diode!
