I got this tempest project and the status of the monitor working or not was unknown, but the chassis was all mickey-moused up so I decided to do a cap kit.
capped the HV board and the deflection board, also installed a LV6100.
reflowed all solder
decided to plug here into my major havoc (tempest conversion)
I got chatter and the spot killer was off....
but I saw smoke coming from the HV board and the resistor at R902 was a red flaming ball, no flames but clearly very very hot.
I never got a chance to see if the picture came on since I flipped the game off.
R902 could be fried (haven't tested it yet) but both fuses near the front of the deflection board are burnt. 700 and 701 I think. (have to go look)
where should I start with this one?
