Hi all!

Well, my work on the Marquee continues Smile Thanks for all the help so far!

I just found out that the raster in the red tube seem to be lit up all the time. Adjusting
red rive does nothing, G2 works fine it seems. When lowering contrast I get retrace lines
(only on red)

When the machine is turned off I get a dot moving around on the red tube, but faint, and
NOT burning any holes Thumbs Up

It seems I have a problem with the red tube electronics or something...

Any advice?

Thanks!

The G2 really makes the raster light up more than drive would.Set drive for red about 30 . Now set G2 till you barely see the raster light then back off one click so its all black.

Start with contrast and Brightness at 50 before doing that tho.

See what that does for now and report back.

Hello

Try swapping the green neckboard onto red, tell us how that looks. The spotkill on the red board may have issues. Drive is video gain from the VIM, so your gain adjust on the VIM red channel may have a problem.

Hello

It is in the tube then, no big deal if the phosphor goes unharmed.
