I would check the base of the BU406D for a signal. The problem is
probably in the switching section, or with the coupling transformer.
I do not have the schematic here with me at the moment, but, check these
things to be sure.

Would it be possible to design a new deflection circuit using 2
N-channel MOSFETS as the drivers? I work on amplifers for home and 
autos, and I have seen some interesting designs on amps. Bose has an
amp that is a switching type. Its very small in size, but, it runs cool
and creates a lot of signal. Infinity uses a digital switching amp with
mosfet outputs as well. These types of amps have a very low floor noise
and a nice dynamic range. Not that dynamic range is a very important
feature for a deflection circuit. The ability to handle large amounts
of voltage and current with low distortion should be a plus though.
Just my half-a-cents worth.

Blooming is usually caused by low high voltage. Lower the voltage, and
the electrons are
less attracted to the plate. The picture will look expanded.

  Whatever the reason, since

It is almost the same distance from the electron gun to the mask. The
mask and front of the tube is curved to allow for this. It uses less
voltage to repel the electron (with the yoke) in the center of the
screen. The yoke has to get more signal to make the curve
where the neck meets the rest of the tube or deflect the electron from
the HV plate.

Newer tubes are shorter on the back of the tube.Less distance for the
electron to travel and B&W tubes do not have three guns to deal with.
Trying to get the triad or three colors to go through the mask is more
difficult than a single beam.

Would it be possible to design a new deflection circuit using 2
N-channel MOSFETS as the drivers?"

---

I suspect the designs you're mentioning are actually PWM (class D)
designs. These designs weren't practical before the invention of fast
high current MOSFET drivers, so the deflection amps of the early 80's
used class AB output drivers. Most of the power in the output stage
is dissipated as heat in the deflection amp output transistors (and
the fairly high resistance of the current to voltage conversion 
resistor in the return path of the yoke. Modern designs use a higher
gain error amplifier and a must lower value sense resistor.

Considering the voltages and currents involved (especially the G08)
at high input voltages the deflection transistors must dump over 100
watts of power into the heat sinks.

Zonn and I were exchanging email last week and we suspect what actually
is taking out the output transistors is base-emitter breakdown from
the inductive kickback of the yoke when the direction of current flow
is reversed, which was why I wanted to try to set up a deflection amp
on the bench to see what happens to the yoke voltages at fast switching
rates.

But I think newer mosfets with faster switching and a lower rDS specs
should work. Getting the correct impedence matching to the yoke will
be a little tricky. Do you know the slew rates on the x/y deflection
circuits? Maybe I will find a little time to do some experiments with
this as well. You guys have my brain cooking now. Thanks. Let me know
what you find on the counter electromotive force on the yoke. Other
things I would like to know:
1) The resonance frequency of the yoke.
2) Phasing difference of voltage and current. In the yoke, the voltage
   should preceed the current by 90 degrees. But, what happens to this
   as you approach resonance and at what frequency? You should see the
   phase angle inverse I would think when it switches from one 
   transistor to the other. In other words when the current is reversed.
   This could cause the other transistor to get over biased and 
   saturate.

"1) The resonance frequency of the yoke."

--

we made a simple model last week and swept it from 0 - 10khz

  --- .067 uF - 150 --+-- 3 -- gnd
   +-------.5 mH -----+

the circuit was flat from DC, dropping by 3db at 1khz

this is a rough aproximation of the horizontal deflection in 
a G08. I forgot to write this down, but I think the RC kicked
in at around 50khz.

I was going to try firing up my Quantum with the spare WG that I had bought
and discovered that the neck broke during shipment (I never unpacked it..)

soo.. here's another set of values for H and V inductance

Triad-Utrad
9A2806-001C yel-blk  .690 mH
17-8150     red-blu  .889 mH

my guess is the nominal values are .7 and .9mH, respectively
which is quite a bit higher than the .4 and .5 of the G08

You are saying that the -3db downpoint is at 1khz and it continues to
fall off logarithmically after this? Did you notice a point where the
signal went over 0 (zero) db at all?

Was this taken from the coil on the tube as well?

Probably explains why the GO8 draws more current on the outputs.

this was just a computer simulation of the (simple) model I drew
in my last message. What i'm going to do this week is use the WG
deflection board to drive a WG yoke to see what the actual deflection
amp characteristics are. I will also try driving a G08 yoke with the
appropriate component changes (not at normal voltages, obviously..)
to try to determine its characteristics too.

That's useful information but I was simply describing the effect all picture
tubes have of enlarging things when they are drawn toward edges of their
screens, not a symptom of a badly operating monitor.  Call it what you like,
the bloom effect is always present and must be compensated for, and
depending upon the design of the tube/yoke it can also lead to pincussioning.

As for the edge expansion, to correct for this effect Atari used VDRs, Sega
used their custom IC, Cinematronics used an array of diodes and resistors in
the feedback loop of an op-amp.  Raster displays must also compensate for
this and I'm sure there's as many ways as there are monitors for doing this.

I went through my Amplifone schematics this weekend and I couldn't find
where they were regulating the voltage going to the error amp.  My schematic
shows the same resistors the WG has connected directly to the filter
capacitors of the low voltage (and in Amplifones case, unregulated) power
supply.  The only regulators I find are the ones used to regulate the HV supply.

Do we have different schematics?  Or are we talking about different things?

"The only regulators I find are the ones used to regulate the HV supply.
Do we have different schematics?  Or are we talking about different things?"

my mistake, there is no regulator on the deflection board, must
have been combining the WG and Ampliphone designs in my head when I said
that..

I've got a few variations on this if Jess doesn't get around to it.

It's very close to Tempest.  I think it's almost identical-- it's been a
while since I tinkered with it.  I actually have it breadboarded up and
running, but with other projects always getting in the queue...

Beats me.  Did Atari actually populate it?  (Haven't seen a real Quantum board.)

On another note...  Have any of you tried removing the VDR's from the
output section of the AVG and seen the effect it has on the display?  I did
this on a Space Duel and couldn't notice the difference-- however, I was
only running it on a scope, which masks a LOT of little details compared to
the big monitors.

Does the VDR prevent some blooming as the deflection gets larger?  (I'm
trying to remember Al's IE curve from last week.)  Anyone know where to get
VDR's like those that Atari used?  My quick search through Newark came up
empty.  Maybe EE Master has a source...

Related topic-- anyone have the tube characteristics for the CRT used in
the WG vector monitor (I think it's the same as the GO-7?).  Stuff like
heater voltage, gun voltages, screen and grid, etc.?  I wonder if it might
be possible to swap tubes with a modern 19-27" tube and keep the deflection
yoke, but get the benefit the no curvature...  Worst case I suppose it
would require a new (or modified?) neck board and HV unit.  Probably want
to stay away from Sony tubes since the aperature grille would mess with
vertical vectors, but some standard shadow mask type thing like a flat
Panasonic or Toshiba would be neat.  (Nice dark phosphor coat too...)

The problem with the scope is that it doesn't have the non-linearities of
the CRT (wouldn't be much of a scope if it did!) so things should actually
look better without the VDR's on a scope.

It's similar to looking at the output of a Tempest on a scope.  Looks ok on
a WG monitor, but on a scope you see all the bowing of the edges used to
compensate for the pincussioning of the WG monitor.

According to a technition working at Cinematronics at the time, they
couldn't find them either which is why they designed around them (using an
op-amp of course!)  I haven't traced out the circuit so I don't know what
they did.

Alright Clay!!!   Now we're talkin'!!  This is one of my long term goals

(Just ask Steve O. -- I keep threatening to do this!  Yes Steve, a laser
based system would be best, but how about colors?  Talk about a convergence
nightmare! Not to mentions costs!  ;^)

To have that new flat Panasonic display running vectors would be way cool!

I've gone through some of the same thoughts.  Won't even touch a Trinitron.

I haven't popped off the back of my Panasonic TV to see if any yoke will
even slip over the neck.  I'm guessing an Ampliphone yoke would give the
best results, since I'm assuming they've done away with the pincussioning
problem in the tube's design.  Of course the opposite could be true, the
reason screens were round was to cut down on, mostly focusing problems, but
it would also help with the pincussioning.  Maybe they just let it
pincussion all it wants and then designed around it in hardware.

Considering how flat the tube is, and how that was always a problem in the
past, I'm wondering if they've come up with some custom IC stuff to deal
with a possible non-linearities of a flat tube, that would be a drag.   I'd
be willing to live with size changes throughout the screen, but my biggest
fear is how much trouble it's going to be to converge the thing!

Of course this is after figuring out how to use the power supply in the TV
to run the much higher HV voltage & focus, and surely higher plate voltages.
I was thinking that by simply removing the TV's yoke and leaving it hooked
up to the circuit (just tie wrap it off somewhere), you could leave the TV
running the standard *blue* screen it defaults to with no input, thereby
supplying all the HV voltages.  Since the RGB transistors are running open
collector on the Amplifone (or WG) circuits maybe they could drive whatever
the voltages needed by the new CRT would be, or maybe the TV's RGB outputs
could be tapped into.

I haven't done *any* experiments with any of this, but it sure is a great idea!

Oh, sorry, I could have saved you some time on that.  I worked through all
the equations on the 1495's (based on the resistor values) a while back.
One 1495 squares the input voltage (thus getting a "positive" number
proportional to the beam's distance from the center of the screen) and
multiplies it against a scalar value to keep it within the voltage range of
the supplies.

The second 1495 then takes the new "correction" factor and multiplies it
against the second input voltage.  The second input voltage still carries
the "sign" (positive or negative voltage) and just picks up the scalar
value from the first 1495.  The product is the "corrected" aspect ration.

I had some Star Castle, Version 3, ROMs sent to me by John DeGroof and Al
Kossow about a week ago.  It seems John noticed the his ROMs that were
labeled with a V3 did not match those on the net.

I had never heard of a Version 3 of Star Castle, of course all I had to do
was ask Steve O.  He'd heard of them, even had a little history of when and
why there were released.  I guess operators were complaining that people
were playing for too long.  So they beefed it up a little.

This confirms what I found out before talking to Steve.  The version 3 is
definitely more aggressive.  Check out the speed of the fireball that gets
launched when you knock down enough castle walls!

Funny thing is that this is the way I remembered Star Castle.  All this time
I was thinking "Gee my reaction time must have speeded up as I got older!
This game used to completely kick my ass, now it only kinda kicks my ass!"
Delusions come pretty easy to me.

Oh well, thanks a lot John for making me feel old again!

Since I don't know how to publish the ROMs (I can't put them on my homepage
because of the emulator), I'll just send them out here.  I'm sure they'll
get around.

I've also included the proto-type version of Armor Attack.  I can't find any
playing differences, we did find the morse code sounds to be different than
the released version, I'll let you guys play with that.

Both ROM sets run fine on the emulator, though this won't help with decoding
the Armor Attack sounds, since I haven't got around to adding sound to the
emulator yet.

Alltronics (they advertise in NutsNVolts, and they're local for me)
had them for around $4.50. So much for needing diode values.

Now all I have to do is wait for Wintron to get some flybacks back in
stock

I was under the impression Wintron winds the transformers after they receive
your order.  I believe that's what they told Gaymond, but I could have
misunderstood.

When I talked to them it sounded like they did a batch at a time. Around
25-50 of them at a time. I didn't know they were out though. They had 8
left about 2 months ago so I guess that makes sense.

The sales rep at Wintron told me that they build in small lots (25 I think).
I bought the last one in stock (sorry Al) two weeks ago (ordered it on 8/20
& got it on 8/25).

Al,
  Here is a shortened up schematic of when I was talking about using
mosfets
for the outputs to drive the yoke on the GO8. It uses MTW20N50E mosfets.
On
the subject of the kickback on the yoke, I replied with what I thought
was the
second question on a couple of replies ago. It basically is a question
of the
dampning factor like in an audio amp. If you see some of the counter EMF
or
kickback, its like an amp with poor dampning. Most audio amps have a
dampning
factor over 50.

re: damping factor

the image you sent was at too low a resolution to make much out, but
a few things i've noticed is:

1) there is no output protection, or sense resistor for feedback
2) there is no damping at all across the yoke (it will have the
   same gate-drain breakdown problems that the present design has
3) the voltage rating of the MOSFETS will have to be the sum of 
the supply rails.

for a class AB driver, my cube neighbor suggested the LT1166 Power
Output Stage Automatic Bias System.

The drawing was a simplistic way of using mosfets. I just sketched the
output configuration. There is an arrow pointing to the diff amp for
the feedback. I just did not draw the rest of the circuit at all.
The only problem I have with a class AB is zero cross ref problems.
Even if there is a lot of feedback, you will probably still have
problems.
As you approach zero on the input, you will have some distortion.
I guess I am looking at this like an amplifier <deflection circuit> and
a
speaker <yoke>. Hence, if using a class AB the output stage is held at
the
threshold of the on state. If a small signal is applied, it will show
some
distortion. As you increase the volume or signal, the distortion is less
appearant because you are biasing the output stage to the on state more
but, there are also transient noises from the transistors turning on and
off.

re: crossover distortion

given the designs of the existing amplifiers, it appears that crossover
distortion isn't a problem (at least the exiting designs don't deal with
it correctly)

if you get a chance, take a look at the LT1166 part; it looks like just
what is needed to drive a complimentary MOSFET pair.

Hi, all!
In my communication with Wintron, they only wind the transformer on orders, that
is why they ask so much for a single one, it includes the setup charge...if you
can get about twenty people to gether the price drops somewhat (they asked me
NOT to quote prices) however the cost is still somewhat high. They will provide
quotes to anyone that is interested, they only ask that you keep it somewhat
confidential, ei: not post in a newsgroup or mailing list.
I tried to get enough folks interested about a year ago to have 50 made, thus I
could have about ten spares and others would get them at just over cost (hey I
do run a business after all) but if some hobbiest with $10KUS available wishes
to take a shot at it...(Is Bill Gates in this list??)

Al,
   I will wait and see what you come up with on your test on the WG
and GO8. This is getting interesting to me now. I have even delayed
my progress on my race car.

Hello,

Just a thought...

  Back in high school I took an old TV and ran wires from the yoke to
a connector on the back. I plugged the speaked outputs of a (really) cheap
stereo in there and "watched" some music. It was a 13 inch TV and a
5W/channel amp and I was able to get full deflection (at least on the lows).
So, would it be possible to just throw an LM12 or possibly a smaller audio
amp at the yoke [LM12 is basically a massive op-amp. was it 50 or 100W]?

  BTW, the yoke I used had 8ohms (DC) on one winding and 32 on the other
which had a center tap - I cut that one and put the 2 halves in parallel
to get 8ohms total. That was of course before I had a clue about the
word "impedance" :-) Oh well, it worked nicely and all my friends started
hacking apart old TVs.

	I just ordered 2 HV transformers from Wintron on Friday.  Rose told me
that they make them in batches of 25.  They had just sold their last one on
Thursday, and were making a batch of 5 or 6 more because that's all the
materials that they had on hand (They were ordering more materials.)  Those
5 or 6 (of which I already bought 2) would be ready on Sept. 16

	I didn't ask when the next batch of 25 would be ready...

So I take it you disconnected the yoke from the vertical and horizontal
drive of the TV chassis?  "Usually" that will be the end of *something* in
the horizontal section on most monitors since they're relying on the
horizontal retrace conduction path through the horizontal yoke windings to
kick the flyback.  JoelR and I did some of this a couple years back with
audio amps and stock raster monitors and yokes with limited success.

(Once again, driven by the idea of my old Asteroids-clone monitor that was
using two STK0050 audio amps for driving the output coils...  I *really*
need to take that thing apart and see how it works...)

	CCS DOESN'T need a taxpayer ID number.  I ordered a dozen BU406Ds from
them 2 or 3 weeks ago.  I just told them I was a private customer, and it was
no problem.  No "talking out of" was necessary.

	I found their salsperson to be very friendly, and helpful (Of course I
was a bit biased because I was overjoyed about getting my BU406Ds) and when I
got the CCS catalog I saw that they carry what seems to be every computer
monitor flyback known to man.  It makes me wonder if any of those could be used
for any XY monitors (Like the W.G. which basically has no available replacement)

	Hey Clay, didn't you buy "some other" flyback from Jeff Anderson a while
back that you were going to try out in a W.G. XY?  Any luck?

Joe

I don't remember who it was, but someone had run across a palette of what
appeared to be NOS Wells-Gardner Color XY Flybacks.  Since I had a NOS WG
Flyback waiting to go into my monitor I volunteered to compare the two.

What I found has to be one of the more cruel jokes in Vector-gamer history...

The Flyback looks *exactly* like a color WG flyback, right down to the
screen/focus block (and this guy just found 200+ of them!).  Alas, the
flyback is completely different internally!  *sigh*  Now that I think about
it, maybe I'll go through and test the actual winding values on the Sencore
here at work.  It definately wasn't "pin compatible", but maybe it's
hackable otherwise.  (I doubt it though.)

[snip talk about monitor stuff that is going way over Mark's head]

You guys have discussed a lot of things on this issue, including design, specs,
etc.  I hope someone is not only archiving these mails, but turning this
discussion into some sort of vector monitor document so that someone can apply
what has been discussed here.

We all know how valuable vector monitors are in regards to arcade game
collecting, so I'd like to push the issue that we should start "planning" and
begining writing up a "cookbook" on this project with at least what we have
now.

I've been reading this thread off an on, but what the real issues here?  What
parts to use?  What yoke to use?  What flyback to use?

Offhand, I'd think if we wanted to build a common XY monitor, wouldn't we want
to use parts from a more common monitor?  Like somehow figure out how to make a
vector monitor using most of the parts from a G07?  Or maybe just the tube,
yoke and flyback?  Maybe just the tube and flyback?

Someone please help me understand what's standing in our way so we can identify
them, document them, and resolve them.

Just trying to get this a little more organized...

I've been lurking on this subject for a while and have an armchair 
engineering question.  Has anyone hooked up a spectrum analyzer to see 
what the spectral content is of the vector signals? With all this talk 
about hooking up audio amps makes me wonder if this will filter off some 
of the high end of the signal.

I currently don't have any access to good test equipment otherwise I'd do
it myself and make a contribution to this list.  I did hook up my $10 scope
before it broke and saw the, for lack of a better description, sawtooth type
wave.  Because of that sharp point in the sawtooth, I would think that this
signal might have significant harmonics.

Yes, we just cut the wires and left them hanging. It had occured to me that
it might cause the HV to go out, but it didn't in 2 13" BWs and one or two
big 25" color TVs (I don't remember what we drove the big ones with, may
have been the same cheapo stereo). One thing we never did is figure out
how to control the colors - we figured one color for each of 3 frequency
ranges would be cool and it would also act as a spot killer when the sound
went away (causing the beam to sit in the middle). I really think some type
of audio chip should be able to handle deflection in the XY monitors.

Do any of you have the actual specs/ratings for the BU406D, BU409,  BU207,
BU208, and BU209?

BU208's and BU207's seem to indicate that the ratings increase in this
order: BU209, BU208, BU207.  (So a BU208 is an OK sub for a 209 and a 207
is an ok sub for the 207.)  However, I've never seen "real" specs on these,
and the only numbers I have seen were in a catalog, so I'm a little
concerned about guessing wrong.

(Since 207's and 208's seem relatively common compared to a BU209 I want to
see if they're "safe" to substitute or not.)

Anyone know the answer, or have access to the specs?

(Who did the BUxxx line originally, anyway?)

Thanks!

G'day Mark,

Hear, hear!  I agree whole heartedly, Mark!  If these folks really do
want this vector display project to last beyond themselves, they'll have
to make a FAQ of some sort.  Besides showing what choices were made, it
would have to explain what alternatives were considered and discarded.

I've been putting something like this together for the next new KLOV
team, so they don't have to go down the same roads we did.

I would say it is like Wells Gardner, Sega, and Atari trying to design
the exact same
circuit. Most everyone has their own way of looking at a problem and
coming up with
different ways of solving it. I would also very much like to see a new
deflection
board and HV board that would be compatible with all of these monitors.
Parts are
getting scarce for some of these units, and if you do not have an
extiguisher by your
GO8, there could be some trouble. I am not an electronic engineer, so
all I can do is
offer some of working knowledge to getting this underway. As Al pointed
out, certain
aspects to the design have to be addressed first. I am glad he is
finding some time to
do research on the current monitor boards used in these games. Finding
the usable
parimeters and designing to those specs.

So is it that the game boards themselves all output different ranges of
signals, and that's why monitors can't be switched around from game to game
because they are designed for a certain range of signals?  If this is the case,
don't we just need to make it so all the games output relatively the same range
of signals, and then design a vector monitor for this range?

I'm assuming that whatever we design would have to be completely new, but could
use old parts from more common sources (like reuse a tube or a fly back, maybe
even a yoke).

Yes, Al is doing a great job and a great deal of research for this project.
 It's just that I've seen so many "Thanks for pointing that out" and "I forgot
about that" stuff that if we document it, we will remember why we're going in
the direction we are, and why we can't go in some directions.

(Of course, at some point, someone will have to hack a prototype
together...that's when all "theory" goes out the door and the reality of what
our design really does will be determined ;-))

"Offhand, I'd think if we wanted to build a common XY monitor, wouldn't we want

vector monitor using most of the parts from a G07?  Or maybe just the tube,

You can't really use any of the magnetics from a raster monitor for a color
vector display. If you think about it, the two deflection coils are running
at 15khz and 60hz, so the H and V windings have very different inductances

Flybacks for raster monitors are designed to operate off of rectified 110,
so they are driven with higher voltages than the stand-alone vector designs

Here are some of the voltage values used by different HV designs:

Original Vectorbeam   +/- 18 regulated from 25
Ampliphone            +/- 24 regulated from 27 (my board has a power resistor across the regs)
WG color              +/- 27
WG B&W                +40
G08                   +63

All of the messages sent to vectorlist are archived on www.spies.com/arcade/vectorlist
which is why I send out lots of mail messages sometimes.. just to make sure I
have this info saved SOMEWHERE :-)

I've been working through all of the magnetics in the different monitors. I have
most of the yoke data now, for all the monitors that I had that needed convergence.

As soon as I get the portable LCR meter that I ordered (Circuit Specialists has a
really nice looking one for $200.. we'll see what it's like when I get it) I can
get the inductance values for an Ampliphone and late model G08, with the newer tube.


---

We've been talking for a while about what to do about the damn monitors burning up,
so what i'm trying to do is 1) figure out WHY they burn up and 2) fix the design,
especially for the G08 which has two custom parts on it and a bunch of out of production
parts (MPS u series and main deflection transistors). There seems to be a lot of
similarity between the basic deflection amplifier designs, so I think it is possible
to have a basic design that would work in either chassis. 

Unless there are a lot of people without monitors at all, I don't think there is a
need for a completely new monitor. My guess at the total demand for this stuff is
maybe a couple of hundred.. The unit costs on custom flybacks and deflection coils
is going to be really high in those volumes. One thing that might be nice is trying
to start watching for deflection coils and convergence rings on CRTs getting tossed
out.. those are the parts that would be useful save (and they don't take up the
storage volume that a crispy fried Tempest CRT does..

>I really think some type
>of audio chip should be able to handle deflection in the XY monitors.

I tend to agree, but the yoke makes a big difference.  The example monitor
that I have (using the STK0050 audio amps to drive the yoke) has a notably
different yoke than the 6100 or GO-8.  It has a *lot* of turns of fine ga.
wire instead of relatively few turns of the thick wire on the WG or
Electrohome versions.

So if we're starting to get serious about making a new monitor what would
the steps be?  I'd be inclinded to start like so:

1) pick a tube.  Should be cheap, available, relatively dark, relatively
flat, and have full specs available.

2) Knowing the tube type defines your voltage requirements to a large
extent.  The HV section can be designed at this point, with the neck board
in mind too (to drive the color guns).  The HV should use an easy to
find/cheap flyback and other common magnetics and transistors.

3) Design the yoke/deflection amps.  It would be nice to design the yoke to
be as simple as possible to make, since someone will likely have to
hand-wind it.  Anyone know of a place to buy the "bare" yoke collars?
Alternatively using a WG or Elect. yoke is nice for testing, but might be
tough to come up with any significant number of them.  Deflection amps
should be designed for stable operation and reliability with as common of
parts as can be found.  (Try to avoid anything that's already obsoleted or
single-sourced. ;-)

4) Low voltage supply.  Should be pretty straighforeward given the power
requirements of the above boards.  Something using standard 78xx or 79xx
type parts would be good.  Linear is probably OK since switchers add
complexity.

Bonus Points for:

Have the power, deflection and HV sections drop into an existing 6100 or
GO-8 with a minimum fuss to replace the existing boards.

I like Zonn's idea of taking the standard TV and reworking it, but TV
models change so fast it'd be kinda tough to make a definative document on
what to do.  (6 months from now the TV's off the market and we're having to
buy a new $300 TV every time to re-design the modifications.)

I for one would give up some of the "cheap" goal in exchange for readily
available parts, good reliability and good picture quality...

It sounds like Al's goals are different than mine...I was hoping for more of a
global solution for everyone; a generic monitor from common parts that could
replace any vector monitor and was more reliable.

As far as market goes, I don't care about the market, as I'm not trying to make
money from it.  If we could make one, document how it was made, and have it
somewhat affordable, at least everyone would have the OPTION of having a vector
monitor, instead of resorting to scavenging warehouses (although that's fun,
too ;-))

Doesn't SGS Thompson make them. If so they have really good .pdf specs
for everthing at www.st.com . The BU406D isn't there but the 406 was
last time I looked.

SGS did the parts, they are SGS/Thompson now (www.st.com)
The 208(D) and some of the other specs are on line on their web page.

Motorola also makes many of these transistors, and their specs are
on their web page (208/208D, 406, 407) They used to make 406D's but
stopped a while ago.

(their data book says the replacement is "MJF16018+diode", thanks..)

Of course it should be measured at the output of the driver because the
yoke itself will cut out some high frequency stuff. Which brings me to
another question:
  Aren't deflection coils current controled? i.e. isn't the deflection
proportional to the current and NOT the voltage across the coils? I know
this is a really basic question, but I've never dug into the schematics
really good and they look like an audio amp at first glance. BTW, I've
often wondered if speakers should be current driven for similar reasons.

"and if you do not have an

What EXACTLY burns up? Which VERSION of the G08 are you referring to?

There are 4 designs that I know of:

1) no HV overvolage, input, or overcurrent protection (-001)
   used MJ15003/4 complimentary pair in the output.

2) an intermediate version (-002?) that appears in my Sega vector 
   repair manual that has most of the stuff missing above, but
   still used a complimentary pair for outputs

3) the most common one, with 2N6259 NPN drivers

4) the later design that Zonn mentioned (I have one now to analyize,
   thanks to Werner!) that has all the little kludge boards integrated
   onto the PC with mongo NPN drivers.


..my guess is most of the monitors out there are -003's variety #3

I think we DO have common goals; to have a reliable display, but I don't think
it is practical or necessary to design a complete replacement monitor if there
is a replacement PC board for the deflection and HV PCBs. One thing I don't 
have any real data on is how reliable the HV transformers in the designs other
than the Ampliphone are. Are most WG failures deflection and spot killer related?

I guess Greg and John probably have the most repair data of the folks in the 
group..

Actually the "spot kill" circuit in the P314 (WG61) does not usually fail,
rather it kicks in when the output of the VG fails. The main failure point
for the P314 is the deflection amps, and the low voltage power supply. The
low voltage supply is easily fixed by using a regulated supply design that
has thermal and current protection. I actually have a redesigned LV supply
in my Tempest's 6100 monitor, and it has been working great for about 6
months!
The deflection amps fail partly because they are supplied by a poorly
design LV supply, and partly because the "power" BJTs get hit to hard by
the inductive kick from the deflection coils...and eventually burn out. Al
mentioned the LT1166 driver...got me thinking, so I looked at the data
sheet, and this could be a very solid solution, designing an "audio" type
power amp with it -- i.e., staying with the Class AB type push pull design
that is currently there. It looks like this would require quite a few
support components to get the job done -- several op amps for gain control
and pre-output stage buffering to get very low distortion.
I think it is a solution worth considering, but...
I think we need to get a couple of solutions on the table, have a "design
review" with those who can provide solid input -- then prototype a couple
or three and see which gets the job done, most elegantly, robust, easily
reproduced (parts availability), and price...

I've fixed about 20 WG color vector monitors for myself, TravisH, ChrisH,
and TonyJ, so these are my somewhat unscientific findings:

HV Failures:
------------
1 blown flyback  (Took out the BU209, BU406, and lots of other stuff with it.)

numerous Zener diode failures in the HV cage (ZD900, 901, and 902)

numerous burned up resistors (usually due to diodes/transistors shorting)

numerous small signal transistor failures (MPSA06's usually)

numerous dried out caps

(No 555, T901, BU207 or BU406 failures other than noted above)


Neck boards:
------------
No failures


Deflection board failures:
--------------------------
numerous low voltage power supply failures.  Usually due to ZD100 and ZD101
shorting out

numerous resistor failures (R100-R103, always related to a diode of trans
going out)

numerous transistor failures (almost exclusively Q100 or Q101)

one deflection output transistor failure (2N3716)

A few MPSU57 and MPSU07 failures


In my experience, the VAST amount of problems have been with the power
supply section of the deflection boards.  I've actually experienced very
few failures related to the deflection stages themselves.  It should be
noted that I've only worked on about 10 full chassis with the 3716's and
3792's attached, the rest were just deflection boards and HV cages.

In the HV section it looks like the diodes go out or resistors break down
most often.  Relatively un-eventful otherwise.

This makes sense. According to my analog designer friend at work, the
WG deflection amp looked to be a much more stable design than the G08
but he had questions about the current requirements of the pass transistors
in the regulator (since it has to supply current for both deflection amps)

Zonn had tried bypassing the regulator completely on an WG, with some
problems with vector stablity. One thing that was suggested is putting
a pecision voltage reference at the base of the current source (Q602/702)
to improve its stability if you were going to run it from an unregulated
supply. Or, put 7824's and 7924 regulators in in place of the 3.3 ohm
resistors and drive just the deflection transistors unregulated.

They are current controlled, if they were simply resistive it wouldn't make
any difference whether you looked for current or voltage.  They're inductive
and the amount of deflection depends on the amount of current flow, not the
voltage across the yoke.

And yes I've also wondered if speakers should be current driven for similar
reasons!  I guess the biggest problem with that is that the current to
voltage resistor used in the normal current controlled design could really
mess up the damping factor and your low end could get pretty muddy.

I agree, the signal coming out of the deflection transistor is in the
current.  When I first looked at the schematics for the deflection board
when I was fixing my Tempest, the following tidbit leaped out at me.  From
the differential stage to the deflection output, the schematic looks *very
much* like an Operational Transconductance Amplifier that I designed in
grad school.  The big difference between my project and this one is that
mine was a VLSI mask and this one is discrete components.  So I drew a big
box around it the OTA part and sure enough, there is a feedback resistor from
the deflection transistors back to the differential gain stage!

So from the big picture, each axis can be viewed as an op-amp configured as an
inverter driving the coils.  (Note: This is from year old memory, it may be
non-inverting. I'm going to have to dig out the schematics back out.) 
Of course, there is also the ancillary spot killer stuff, but that is an 
add on.   This design should be somewhat linear, depending on the overall 
OTA gain. 

(I really wish I had the lab resources and time to dig into this project.  I
really like this analog stuff. :-) )

I should point out that by replacing the low voltage regulators with *real*
regulators the display becomes very stable.

Thing I've tried:

1) Putting 7824/7924 in place of the 3.3 ohm regulators and running the
deflection circuits unregulated.  This doesn't work at all.  The 7824/7924's
are designed to regulate their outputs, they wreak havoc on their inputs
which wreaks havoc with the vectors.

2) Drive the deflection board unregulated, then power the HV with a
completely seperate +/- 24 volt supply.  This works relatively well, all the
noise from the HV is gone.  HV noise are those little spikes that have a
tendency to show up on WG displays.  They travel along the vectors sometimes
fast sometimes just standing still.  They look like little square or
triangle waves superimposed on the vectors, anyone who's seen more than one
working WG must have seen these -- these completely disappear if you run the
HV off a seperate supply.

You still have vectors that wave slightly.  It's not much but you can watch
them move back and forth between a pixel or two.

3) The best so far. Run the deflection and HV off a beefed up regulator.  I
removed all the low voltage components (Those uprotected zener diodes and
Q100/Q101 stuff).  I then used a LM317/LM337 regulator pair using the WG's
low voltage power transistors as current boosts.

This gives very stable noise free vectors.  But there is a trade off between
supply voltage and HV disappation though.  Higher voltages going to the
deflection allows for a faster slew rate, higher voltages going to the HV
supply allows for shorter HV life.

A look at the HV shows that a properly working HV supply has its low voltage
regulator maintaining a 32v (+/- a few volts) level measure from the
negative rail to the output of the low voltage pass transistor.  So the pass
transistor must drop 16 volts!  Turning up the voltages places an even
higher strain on the HV's regulator.

-------

Something *not* to try. Don't simply bypass the low voltage regulators, if
you do, you can watch the transistors in the HV regulator turn to liquid.

There is also a resistor on the neck board that would have to be changed to
lower the current through a zener diode there.

-------

The things I plan on trying.

1) Regulate the error amp only, to see how the vectors behave.  Regulate the
HV with seperate regulators.  The advantage would be lower heat in the low
voltage regulation section since you wouldn't be driving the yoke through
the regulators.  Though this might not remove the HV noise.

If that don't work this will:

2) Regulate the deflection board through the beefed up regulators setting
them to around +/- 28 volts.  Then use seperate regulators to drive the HV
supply.

Looking at the HV supply you can see that it really doesn't derive any of it
power from ground, but instead from the +/- voltage rails.

There is a 24v zener in the path of the gun voltages, this compensates for
the -24v supply, so one side of the HV regulator must be driven using a 7924
(or equivalent) to keep the gun voltages correct.  Now since the HV
regulator only needs 32v (and allowing for the drop of the pass transistor)
using a 7815 would supply 39 volts, or a 7818 would supply 42 volts (to be
on the safe side).  Supplying the HV with 39 or 42 volts instead of 48
should allow the HV regulator to run quite a bit cooler.

So the HV regulator will consist of a 7818/7924 regulator pair.

When this works I can add a couple of extra power transistors to the low
voltage regulation to current limit the supply, though I'm not sure that's
really needed.  Using boost transistors on a 3 pin regulator defeats the
internal current limit protection of the regulator.  The regulator still
protects itself, but the external pass transistor does not -- an external
current limiting transistor must be added to maintain current limiting.

Depending on how hard this is to wire up, I may have some PCBs built since I
have a lot of WG monitors I want retrofitted.

It's non-inverting, the inverting input is used as the error correction's,
negative feedback.  But other than that, you got it.  :^)

There's been a lot of talk about stability lately.  I've assumed this has
meant the display's ability to draw something in the same spot repeatedly.
For example, the copyright in the Tempest attract mode. I assume this be-
cause that is the type of instability I've observed in these displays.

It seems a lot of attention is currently on the deflection section of the
display, but HV ripple and regulation seem to have a lot to do with image
stability (as defined above) as well.

Has anyone else found that to be the case?

Does anyone know what the impact of poor LV regulation is on image stabil-
ity versus poor HV regulation?  I've observed stability problems (in a WG)
while the LV is fairly well behaved, only to find ripple on B+.

Cheers,
Mark

To put it in a simple form, its like a voltage controlled electromagnet.
The signal
coming into the deflection circuit is used to control the amount of
current applied
to the yoke. You just need to find an amp circuit efficient enough to do
the job.

This is exactly what I did a while ago. I removed all the parts to the LV
supply, *except* the large 4700uF filter caps, the diode bridge, and the
power output transistors. i.e., removed: Q100, Q101, R100, R101, R102,
R103, D104, D105, ZD100, ZD101, C102, C103. Note that ZD100 and ZD101 are
mislabled on the P314 as R104 and R105.
I then designed a regulated supply using LM317 and LM337 plus support
components, using small pots to allow for some adjustability. I think I can
range from around +/- 22 to +/- 30. A gif of the schematic is enclosed.

I created a small PCB layout, about 2" x 1.125", so it would fit right over
the spot where the old components were removed. The output from the
regulators is just under the new PCB, so I positioned the through holes
right over the top of holes in the P314 PCB. That allows for the new PCB to
be "piggy-backed" using cliped off diode leads, or some other stiff wire to
hold it in place. The input to the regulators is wired to the new PCB with
some small shielded wires. See enclosed gif of the deflection PCB for
reference.

As a test for this retrofit, I installed one of these new LV PCBs into a
Star Wars (equiped with a WG6100 of course) that a friend of mine has
standing in a theatre in Louisville, CO. It has been running there since
January, and the monitor has not failed yet.
Also enclosed is a gif of the new LV PCB installed on the P314.
I thought about doing a mass production run of the new PCBs. This could
still be easily done, since I have had the gerber files ready to go since
September last year!
Thoughts???

I just took a look at the schematic, and it would have been trivial to
make it a tracking supply (eliminating one of the adjustment pots).

I'll put a drawing up for that as well..

That is true. Either way works great. If you saw my PCB, however, you would
see that removing one pot would not make it any smaller. But it does make
it one component cheaper... :-)

The difference between this design and the one I was using is that this
design places the full current load on the regulators.

The HV alone can draw more than 1 amp of current.  The 7824 and 7924
regulators used to regulate the HV supply in the Amplifone monitors were
bypassed with a 50ohm resistor to allow higher current draw during the white
screen explosions of Star Wars.  I believe the 7824/7924 have similar
current specs as the LM317T / LM337T parts.

The low voltage supply must supply the constant one amp of current to the
HV, and on top of that, the current needed by the deflection circuitry.  The
deflection circuit is fused at 5 or 6.25 amps (depending on revision).  I'm
guessing an amp or two average, though instantaneous peaks could be quite high.

The low voltage supply should be rated to supply, at least, 7 amp peaks.  I
believe the ratings of the LM317T and LM337T are around 1.5 amps, with
proper heatsinks.  They are very bullet proof and will going into both
thermal shutdown and current limit mode if overdriven.  Unless I'm wrong
about the current spec's of the LM317T/LM337T series, you can't get the 3 to
4 amp peaks that are going to be typical here, and no where near the 7 amp
worst case peaks.

With a very slight modification to this design you can use the original WG
PNP pass transistor to boost the current on the positive rail, and the NPN
transistor for the negative rail (the opposite of the way WG currently uses
them).  Assuming only a current gain of 10, for the power transistors, this
allows the regulators to only dissapate 500ma for 5 amps of current.

I don't have the schematic here, (it's hand drawn) but I can scan it in this
weekend and send to to Al to post.

Mmmmm.  Good point, I'd like to see your modifications there.

One other approach would be to get the regulators in a TO-3 package and
mount them on the chassis instead of the NPN/PNP pair for the old LV
supply.  I think the TO-3 versions are rated for something like 7A
continuous?

No it does not. In my case, if you look at the schematic, and see how the
regulated supply is "wired" in, you will see that the *only* thing the
regulators do is drive the base of the power transistors -- i.e., in a bjt
follower configuration, where the collector of the power transistor is
connected directly to the unregulated supply voltage. Thus the only devices
to see the high currents are the power transistors, and none of the parts
on my LV PCB.

So the regulators on my LV PCB only drive the base current to the power
transistors, and drop about 8V...i.e., low power through the regulators.

The WG equiped Star Wars, that is continuously on, has my LV PCB installed,
has been running since January, and when you touch the regulators...they
are cold.

Yes, that would also be a good solution. Then you could remove the existing
power transistor. However, I think that would be more expensive than using
the TO-220 packaged regulators, driving the existing power transistors as
followers. So I think that a price comparison would be in order. But I
think that the TO-220 solution will be less expensive.

Here are a couple of things I was thinking of / wondering about on the LV 
supply:

1) why is only one of the pass transistor drivers on the WG a power transistor?
   does the HV supply draw a lot more positive than negative current?

2) the LM3xx daughter board got me thinking it would be fairly easy to build
   two little PC boards that you could mount on a heat sink to add a MOV or
   commutation diodes and current limiting to the deflection drivers

3) foldback current limiting on the LV pass transistors would be nice
   that way, if a driver shorts (which shouldn't happen with #2 above..)
   you aren't toasting the LV pass transistors.

I'm wondering in a 723 (or modern equivalent) with built in current
limiting would make more sense than the three terminal parts.

Have you placed you regulators in the same position as the Zener diode and
pre-drivers were?  Are the outputs of the pass transistor part of the
regulation circuit or is only the base regulated?

I couldn't find them, if I remember the TO-3 were the same ratings as the
Tab parts, the TO-3 have better coupling onto the heatsink allowing slightly
higher power dissipation.  It wasn't all that different though, and the
current limiting was the same.

I have seen some TO-3, 5 volt fixed parts that can regulate up to 10 amp (in
a surplus store).  They could be used as an adjustable part.  I've only seen
positive regulators that do this, and the pins won't fit in a standard
socket -- too fat, and you'd still have to do something for the negative side.

The design of an external pass transistor was taken right out of a Motorola
data book (though I had to grab a little here and a little there to get the
whole design).

It's hooked up like this (Pardon the ASCII art):

    Vin -------*--------\     /---------*-------- Vout
               |         v   /          |
               |         -----          |
               |           |            |
               |           |            |
               |           |            |
               |           |            |
               *--/\/\/----*---[LM317]--*
                   R1             |
                                  | 

                            Adjust circuitry


Use the NPN for the LM337 side.

As the LM317 draws current through the PASS transistor's BE junction the
transistor it turns on.

R1 is used to substain regulation at low current levels and is calculated to
have a .6v drop across it when you want the transistor to turn on.  I picked
somewhere between 50ma and 100ma. Anything below this threshold will use
only the regulator.  Above that the current is shared between the regulator
and the pass transistor based on the gain of the transistor.  It's probably
not needed here since the HV supply makes sure you're never uses that little
current.

The output of the pass transistor shares the output of the regulator so full
regulation is maintained.  A scope on the output of this shows a flat line
regardless of what is being displayed.  The regulator is faster than the
noise generated by the HV, so all the HV noise goes away.

There is one problem with this circuit, it is no longer short circuit
protected (the WG design was never short circuit protected!). The regulator
protects itself but has no way of turning off the pass transistor. It takes
a second transistor and a current sense resistor to do this, it all depends
on the amount of bullet proofing you want to do.

I believe it's the negative side with the power transistor (I could be
wrong).  But if it is the case it's probably because PNP transistors
typically have less gain than there NPN counter parts, so the pre-driver
would have to pass more current to drive the PNP pass transistor.

I've wondered how much current limiting on the deflection drivers would help.  
On the monitors that have this (Sega and Cinematronics) I don't see any less
"blowing out" of deflection transistors. I'm still suffering from the belief
that voltage transients are blowing these things out.  Some higher speed
protection diodes (instead of the 1n400x's I've seen used) might be in order
though.  Once the transistor is fried, current limit doesn't do a bit of good.

This is probably a better place to put in current protection.  If you
current protect at a current slightly higher than the fuses, if and when a
deflection transistor were to short, the current would be maintained well
within the specs of the complimentary transistor and any rectifying diodes
until the fuse blew. This would minimize the damage to the single source of
the problem.

The 3 pin regulators do a better job than the 723. If your designing a high
current power supply (more than 1.5 amps) then the 723 is probably cheaper
in mass quantities.  But it's harder to use, and needs a lot more glue logic.

If you look at the P314 schematic and "remove" the pre-drive transistors,
zeners, and resistors, you can see that this effectively "disconnects" the
unregulated power from the base of the power transistors. So all I did was
put my LV PCB in the "gap". Now for a visual...
Being inspired by your fine ascii art, Zonn...here
is my attempt at it. My LV PCB is wired up basically as follows:

(+33V unregulated) ---------*----------------------+
                            |                     /
                            |                  | / Q102
                            |                  |/  2N3716
                            +--[LM317]---------|   (NPN)
                                  |            |\
                                  |            | \
                                  |               V---- to + HV and
                                  |                     + deflection BJTs
                           [adjust parts]               adjust to +25V


(-33V unregulated) ---------*----------------------+
                            |                     /
                            |                  | / Q103
                            |                  |/  2N3792
                            +--[LM337]---------|   (PNP)
                                  |            |^
                                  |            | \
                                  |               \---- to - HV and
                                  |                     - deflection BJTs
                           [adjust parts]               adjust to -25V

So as you can see, the regulators keep the base voltage constant, thus
causing the power transistors to "follow" the output of the regulators.
The output voltage of the power transistors goes to the HV and to the
deflection BJTs, and is only one diode drop less than the output voltage
of the regulators.
I designed the adjust circuitry for maximum ripple rejection (80db if you
read the data sheet). So the DC power generated at the emmiters of the
power transistors is *very* clean/flat, and constant. And, since the base
current is approximately two orders of magnitude less than the output
current, the three-terminal regulators "don't get overworked".

An area of improvement that has cropped up in this discussion is to add
some form of current limiting to the unregulated power -- i.e., limiting
the current into the collector of the power transistors.

Hi!
Well, let's see if this, my first post to the vectorlist works...

It seems to me that the real problem with these poor monitors is if the power supply of the game board goes bad that the
monitor gets lonesome and dies. Now in the interest of keeping them from croaking how about a simple little relay circuit that
cuts the power to the monitor if the +5 supply goes outside a set of parameters AND/OR if the logic board locks up? I was
thinking along the lines of a watchdog reset monitor circuit, or just a simple circuit that monitors the X and Y outputs and
if the signal doesn't change enough over a certain period of time that the power is cut to the monitor. This could be self
restarting so if the problem is an intermittent one can "play" the game around the problem...Well, any other bright ideas???

How about this...
(no actual circuit descriptions, just ideas...)

Since most of us have seen a color XY (or two) with the phosphor @ 0,0
burned away, how about something to prevent this? I've only seen
descriptions of what the display looks like with this fault. I believe it
has to do with the Z being stuck on for one of the RGB channels allowing
the e- beam to blast 0,0 with the full intensity beam.

Maybe if one color is locked on full, disable said color and light a
diagnostic LED? Finally a chance to use a blue LED in a design!!! YAHOO!
:)

My idea from a while back was to use a micro (PIC! :-) and four comparators
to monitor the deflection.  I hadn't really decided at what point to take
the signals though...

Anyway, the idea was to be sort-of a digital based spot killer that relied
on seeing activity in all four quadrants of the screen.  If there wasn't
activity in every quadrant every couple milliseconds (or some number
probably determined by experimentation), then activate the spot killer.

What I wanted to be able to do was use other vector games (like the Sega
stuff) with a WG without having the spot killer "attack".  This also allows
me to make some new vector hardware without having to draw vectors at
"full" speed at first and still be able to see the picture on a "real"
monitor.  (I like running stuff slow at first so I can get good data with a
scope or analyzer, and once it's working crank the speed up for
performance.)

Carrying it a little farther it wouldn't be hard to teach the PIC to:

1) if no activity in all four quadrants in XXXms, then blank the Z

2) if *still* no activity in all four quadrants in YYYYms, then cut power
to the monitor

The idea being for #1 that the software is starting or resetting or
something and just needs some time to get going.  The idea behind #2 is
that the game board has failed and might be holding the deflection at +Xmax
and +Ymax (or something) and rapidly cooking your output transistors...

What you have done is what WG *tried* to do using a zener diode as the
reference into the base of the power followers.

Obviously using the LM3x7 is a much nicer way to go!  The only nitpicky
thing I see is that your not actually regulating the output voltage.  By
regulating the base of the transistor you leave the voltage drop across the
BE unregulated.  My understanding is that while this is right around .6v it
can vary based on temperature and current draw, though in this case it
should be pretty insignificant.  (What's a few millivolts compared to 27 volts?)

A bigger problem could be adding current limiting to the design. I haven't
really thought it through for the above design, but when placing the pass
transistor inside the regulation loop it's a simple matter of adding a
resistor and another transistor to allow for current limiting.

There's little reason to check for overvoltage, the deflection board will
run just fine on the full unregulated voltage.

If both sides were to fail into a full voltage mode, the HV regulator could
have a hard time with it, but this is pretty unlikely.

Most overvoltage protection was done on the old 5v zillion amp regulators
where an overvoltage condition could take out thousands of dollars of
computer boards.

The circuit looks decent enough (well you are running the LM317 at 1.2volts
-- but we know what you meant!)

This is not a bad idea, WG and Amplifone both tried different ways of doing
this.  Amplifones worked the nicest, WG's just screwed up Tempest causing it
to colapse between player one and player two modes.

I'll bet it's do to some idiot accidently turning up the brightness for a
split second.  Some total jerk playing with the brightness control without
looking at the screen the whole time he's tweaking the control.  Some
complete loser playing with the brightness control not realizing how bright
he's driving the display because he's sitting behind the monitor instead of
looking over the top of it while he's adjusting the knob -- Well at least
that's how I burnt out the center pixel of my display.

ok, I am intimidated by all the vector gurus on here, but I must ask a
simple question.

I just converted Tempest to MH. The display 'flickers' during certain parts
of the gameplay,
like when there's a lot on the screen (though not always), particularly
during certain
mazes. However, it's real stable other times.

Any ideas on which parts to replace/adjustments to make?

Well, on Major Havoc there is a LOT of drawing going on during the maze.
Sometimes it can slow the 
vector generator down enough make it approach 30 fps. That would cause
the flicker to become much more 
noticable. If you look at the screen with your peripheral vision it is
really noticable.
  Did replacing the IC's on the conversion board fix the deflection
problem we had??

Yes, but the BJT follower configuration is a much, much more robust way to
go. I will explain...

OK. Here we go! Good observation that the output voltage is actually less
than the regulator's output. This is true. The output voltage of the
follower is almost the output voltage of the regulator -- 
i.e., Vout = Vin - Vf; where Vout is the voltage at the BJT emitter, Vin 
is the voltage at the BJT base, and Vf = Vbe which is at worst case 0.7
volts.
Without going into the entire math proof (very long), the Vout = Vin - Vf
equation is good as long as Rb (the base resistance) is very small. You
will notice that my design has no external base resistor. With a very
small Rb, we can assume Rb = 0, the equation for the follower, Vout = Vin
- Vf, is exact and not an approximation of the follower output.
So, say you want +25 volts at the follower output. You just adjust the
regulator to outpu +25.7 volts, or with a DMM on the follower output
adjust the regulator until you get +25 volts. Very user friendly.

OK, now comes a very interesting "feature" to the BJT follower
configuration. If you believe the math (and all this shit is based on
math!), then the follower has the power to deliver *just* the right amount
of current to the load -- in our case the load is the HV unit and the
deflection transistors. Now all this math gets pretty hairy, and kinda
makes me sick to look at it! (That's why I got into digital design ;-) But
here is the "mechanism" by which the BJT follower delivers just the right
amount of current. The collector current (Ic), which is the current
supplied to our load, is related to Vbe by the v-i characteristics of the
base-emitter junction. When voltage is applied to the base (greater than
Vf or 0.7V) current starts to flow throught the base (Ib) and the
collector. If we call the load (HV and deflection transistors) Re, this
value is of course not constant, the voltage drop across Re limits the
value of Vbe. An equilibrium condition is then reached where Ic and the
drop across Re estabish the exact Vbe needed to proved Ic -- we have
feedback! The equilibrium value of Vbe will always be close to Vf (0.7V)
for any Ib, because the relationship between Ib and Vbe is an exponential
one. The current Ib will be much much less than the current Ic. The
current through the load will be Ib + Ic (Kirchoff's current law). Ib is
much smaller than Ic, since Ic = (Bf)(Ib); where Bf is the current gain of
the BJT, probably around 100 for the power transistors used in the WG6100.
So say Ic = 3 amps, then Ib is 30 milliamps. Thus the power wasted in the
base-emitter is Pbe = (Vbe)(Ib) = (0.7)(.03) = 21 milliwats.
So what the follower is doing here is providing current gain because the
load current is much larger than Ib.

When the display is "flickering", is the spot killer LED on the monitor
flickering at the same time?

no, it looks more like heavy processor load to me.

	The problem is limiting the current through the transistors, or
adding "short circuit" protection.  If the load resistance, Re tends
toward 0, obviously, Ie gets VERY large, and Ib = Ie/(Bf + 1) gets pretty
large too.  You need to add at least current limiting resistors to teh
base and the emitter to stop that circuit from first saturating (whereupon
all of the equations that you mentioned up above break down) and then
destroying themselves.

	Like I said, current limiting could be as easy as finding the peak
current draw through the existing LV supply, and adding current limiting
resistors to Anders's design.

	If I missed something like this, previously, let me know.  It's
"crunch-time" here at work, and I haven't been following this thread very
closely...

Yes, I have thought about this. If something in the HV shorts, or just one
of the deflection transistors shorts, then the load will tend to look like
Re = 0, and POW, the LV power transistors are gone! I am looking at a
couple of possiblilities for current limiting on my LV PCB. As soon as I
have gotten around to analyzing them, I will post up what I have found. In
the mean time, I am open to any and all suggestions...

	OK, here's mine....Let's just model the 317 as a constant voltage
source, because, basically, that's what you're using it as, right?  I'll
call it V1

                         +---------+--------o Vout


	(Sorry about the horrible ASCII art -- this was actually my first
ASCII art masterpiece.)

	Here's how this works (Notice that the additions to Anders's
circuit are Rsc, Re, and Q2)

	Re is a small valued resistor, such that under normal operation,
the voltage drop across Re is virtually 0.  Suppose a short happens at
Vout.  The current through Re will rise, and when the voltage across Re
gets to .7, Q2 turns on (since the voltage across Re  was virtually 0, the
voltage on the base of Q2 and on the emitter of Q2 is virtually equal
under normal operation, and Q2 is off.)

	When Q2 turns on, the current gets sucked through Rsc, and through
Q2 to GND (which is Vout now.)  Ideally, the value of Rsc is chosen such
that most of the power is dropped across it, and it robs Q1 of its base
current, such that Q1 turns off.  Rsc is a beefy power resistor, so that
it can dissipate lots of power.

	Rsc's value should be relatively large (so that the voltage on the
collector of Q2 is small, BUT above Vc-sat (.2V or so, if Vout is GND) but
small enough so that enough current flows through it to pull Q1 into
cutoff.  This gets even easier if we make Q1 a power MOSFET, since there
is basically infinite impedance from G -> {D, S}

	Whoops.....Let me correct my last posting.  When Q2 turns on, Q1
doesn't turn off.  The current through it just gets limited such that the
voltage across Re is .7

It's dropping out of frame rate.  Basically the vector generator isn't able
to finish all its drawing in less than about 1/30th of a second and you're
seeing flicker as a result.  Star Wars does this sometimes actually-- get a
lot of active laser towers shooting at you at once before the trench scene.


You can speed things up by switching the main crystal on the game PCB.  How
fast you can make it go depends on the monitor though.

I think "stock" dedicated boards were 12.096MHz.  I've seen conversions
with 8MHz crystals on them.  Anyone know for sure what's right?  If your
crystal is 8MHz try replacing it with a 10MHz and see if everything still
looks right.  It will affect the gameplay a little.

You have to replace both the crystals on the board though, if you only
do one it will throw the 
processor communication off and you can get the Main CPU to sometimes
reset the slave.
 Original Crystals in Dedicated Major Havoc (amplifone monitor)
   	Y1 12.096 MHz
   	Y2 10.000 MHz

 Conversion Board for Tempest/Gravitar/Space Duel (WG monitor)
	Y1 8.9687 MHz
	Y2 8.000  MHz

Having the faster crystals will also make the game ALOT faster in the
higher levels, fast enough
to make them almost impossible. It also raises the pitch of the music of
course.
