Electronic Component Replacement List

WG6100 Color Vector Monitor Rebuild Kit:

The Wells Gardner standard resolution color vector monitor was manufactured in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada from 1980 to 1984. It was popular in Atari vector games including Space Duel, Black Widow, Gravitar, Tempest, Star Wars, and Major Havoc conversion.

Due to popular demand, here is a table of WG6100 parts available from Digikey. I have used the Digikey components listed below in my wg6100 rebuilds with great success.

The list includes the most common primary parts used to rebuild the 6100 monitor. Be aware that this is not a complete bill of materials. These are only the most common components that need to be replaced and these are the parts provided by the majority of kit suppliers.

Also shown are the parts listed by other kit suppliers as so-called "additional parts" that can optionally be used if you want to be very thorough. They are marked by a '+'. Some suppliers provide a disclaimer citing that these parts cannot guarantee extended or even ideal performance due to a lack of official authorization from the monitor manufacturer. I always install them and my monitors always work great. My first units rebuilt in mid-2005 are still running strong and have never had a problem.

For information on D807 & D808, the special germanium diodes on P327 deflection boards and earlier model add-on boards, see this germanium diode discussion page.

Atari Major Havoc conversion kit: See part sources and detailed photos of the zener diodes and rectifier diodes added to the back of P314 & P327 deflection boards as indicated by the Atari Major Havoc conversion kit installation instructions here: P314, P327.
