Re: VECTOR: SW monitor prob...

Is the image focused? if its focused (DURING BLOOM) you have XY drive 
problem. Check the focus block you could have something leaky make sure 
there is no corona. When measuring the HV is it ok while blooming 
(loaded) or with no drive. If its fluctuating there is a problem with 
the regulator. If its bllooming because of HV drop you will loose focus 
also since the focus is just a divider of the HV.  Make sure there is no 
DC offset on XY input. I havent been following this thread so you might 
have already checked but I cant think of what else would make it bloom 
other than a CRT with low emision, is the heater got 6.3V on it? and all 
the connections good on the socket such as cathode, heater, focus etc. 
It definately sounds like a regulation problem. I would buy the 
repacement HV kit from arcadeshop. I've installed a few of them and I 
think they are well worth it.
