RE: Tech: Battlezone

Marlin,

A meltdown is always bad. Start by disconnecting the HV cage. Check the
glow. Check the voltage to the heater.

There is no replacement HVT, but they are available. I have several
extra.

That's the thing, the monitor USED to get a neck glow and then a bad
ARII board took out a PROM (from the Aux board) and, I think, the HV
Board. The connector INISDE the HV cage looks VERY melted.

Does this mean new HV/Flyback or new Tube? If so, where do I get one
of those?

Thanks for the help.
