        Or rewind the yoke... :)

        Not just reproduced; the whole HV section has been completely
redesigned to use modern, off-the-shelf components. :)

        As far as I know, Arcadeshop _has_ the replacement deflection units
now, also. Same as above; total redesign using modern components.

        There really isn't much _to_ the neck board (and not much to go wrong
with it, either)... the only thing holding back the design of a new neck, I
should think, is the difficulty in getting hold of CRT tube sockets. It
seems to be an item for which there are very few manufacturers, nearly all
of whom are somewhere in Asia and all of whom only seem to want to sell
them 10,000 at a time. :)
