When switched on there's very severe arcing around the HV cable - purple arcs from HV cable to demagnetisation and gnd cables around the CRT. I must say that this game hadn't played in a while and may or may not have been stored in a moist environment. What causes these severe arcs? Bad CRT, bad LOT? I've never seen anything like this outside a CRT before... > kind regards, > Stefaan Van Slycken > Van Slycken Elektro > Waasmunster > BELGIUM > > **************************************************************************** * > Lost Password: > http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?". > Email Archives: > //www.freelists.org/archives/techassist/ > > **************************************************************************** * Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
