I would say to use an oscilloscope to monitor the circuit *driving* the flyback transformer. I had an issue on a Compucolor II where this signal would periodically glitch, which changed the frequency, and cause the flyback to over-voltage and spark every time. The signal would glitch whether the flyback was plugged in or not.
Regarding microvax parts, you can have whatever you want. Just telll me where it is precisely, with line drawings if. Necessary. I know absolutely nuthink about DEC.

Jerry - I WANT THAT BOX.LOL LOL LOL
In German - Der friggin boxen must becomen meinen
If you'll send it to.me, I'll take it. I don't know what else you have . Perhaps that is also of interest.
Where are you located? And please don't get offended at my humor. I'm a sick man...

Multibus box - I'll take it. Ships to 08005 probably.

Yeah. Im going to begin informally studying German soon. I have a Swedish cd too. Ill never forget how to say fish in Swedish. This much I can tell you. Lathe in German is drehbank I think. Watch maker is uhrmacher. I love German machinery.
Anyone have a stash of either card. Have a few
micro vax machines that are missing the M7555
and I need a couple of the M8061's for my micro
PDP11's
Also could use a 7140 Power supply or boards.
seems like every few years one of my 11/24or44's
machines has PS problems.
Thanks, Jerry
