Battlezone G05-805 monitor blooming problem revisited

Greetings all,

I have a Battlezone mini monitor (Electrohome G05-805 15" B&W) that still
has a "blooming" problem. It's not the board set as it has done this with 3
different boards.

I have replaced the HV diode (VARO H1809 with a VARO H1812 - I couldn't find
a H1809), but it still happens after warmup. It seems to expand in all
directions, but horizontal seem a little more than the vertical.

I think I have realized what started it doing this. Not having read the
vector FAQ's, I discharged the monitor without any resistors in series (10 x
100K Ohm) so I think that I not only blew the original HV diode, but may be
some other parts as well. Note that I did not discharge it with the new HV
diode installed.

I have ordered a cap kit from Bob Roberts and am hoping that it will solve
my problem, but if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!
I need to get this one up and running! <argh! - panic in the streets!>

All help is appreciated!

Regards,
-Commander Dave
