Amplifone Help!


From: Al Warner ( )

Hi everyone,

My Amplifone has developed a problem. There is no glow in the tube and
it has no picture. I can still hear the vectors being drawn. I am of
the conclusion that this is a HV problem. The unit has a Wintron FB on
it, but it is at least 7 years old (according to Wintron). I asked John
Robertson about helping me with his retrofit of the WG-4600 FB, but he
will be unable to help me for some time. I have a spare 4600 chassis so
I could really use some help from someone who has done it. Can anyone
help?

Thanks,

-Al-

PS - The new FB from Wintron is $190.00 plus shipping and they are out.
Zanen's replacement will be out in a few months at less than half of
that. I'd like to get my SW working again, it's the best game in my
collection and I miss it after only 3 days.

PPS - I'd consider purchasing a good WG-6100 if anyone has an affordable
one!
