RE: Can a Tempest transformer power block be used with a 19V2000?

The PAT9000 uses a 13" Amplifone monitor (color vector), not a 19V2000 (B&W
vector) and a G03 (color raster). When I test B&W vector monitors I don't
use the PAT9000 power; I built up a test rig using a disused Asteroids
transformer assy instead.

Without looking at the PAT9000 drawings, I know Atari used two power
bricks for raster and vector. I can;t recall if they interchanged their
outputs.
