Re: WG Display Correctors - call for quantities

And it’s safe to assume one can’t use the board (or have need of it) for a Electrohome G08 found in the Sega Vectors?

Ah, sorry-- Zitt's link covers the basics. In a nutshell it's an adjustable version of the correction circuitry found on Atari vector games (or something like the Major Havoc->Space Duel converter board) that helps correct the pincushion type distortion seen when running Star Wars (or MH) on a WG6100 monitor instead of an amplifone.

This is actually the 4th encarnation of the board and is different than the link Zitt dug up (it's quite a bit smaller, has full soldermask/silkscreen, etc.), but functionally it's the same.

Here's the installation manual: http://multigame.com/DC_rev3.PDF

I'd post a picture, but I can't for the life of me find the ones I took last year... (For grins I had a "group photo" of one of each revision from the original ~1996(?) version up to the present.)

The 'panel' is just electronics manufacturing lingo-- I actually have ten of the display corrects on each sheet of circuit board material. It's called a "panel" and it speeds up machine assembly. They're broken apart for testing and shipped out as single pieces...
