Re: Major Havoc Whirlygig Owners

Hey Jon,

Speaking of your MH, do you still have any pictures, notes, website links to
your MH->720 Hack? There were limited notes on the newsgroup and last I heard
you had the convergence issue figured out.

Was it a 720 mid res tube: 6100 Yoke, HV and Deflection???

Thanks for any info you can spare on that project.
