I had previously checked these with an analog meter on DC and could see a
little back and forth movement on the meter hand. I figured all was well.
Just now got back in from resoldering the rest of the oxidized joints on the
deflection board. No change. I remeasured X out and Y out on the "AC"
setting of my analog. Y shows 3-4 volts. X shows zilch. I now fugure that
monitor is fine and X is defunct on game board. What components do I check
for the missing X signal??

Thanks again for all help.

A little closer to blasting the scumbag saucer now I think :^)
