UK versus US monitor question

Are you sayig these sets had a single-azis CRT to provide the horizontal scan and a mirror drum or similar to provide the vertical scan? Kersqueeble. I have never seen anythign like that over here. From the mid 19830s onwards all our TVs were fully electronic. I did heard of some CCD-based camers which had a single-axis CDD (considerably simplerand easier to driv than a 2-axis one) that was mechancially scanned acorss the iamge (or used a mirror to do the same thing), but that's rather differnet. A number of TVs and monitors ran their SMPSUs at the horizontal scan rate. The DEC VR241 colour monitor is one such -- it's a Hitachi chassis. The power supply is driven from the horizotanl oscillator, at least once it's all got going (and $deity help you if you have to trace a startup fault on that thing). One manufactuer in Europe had that they called the 'IPSALO circuit'. That was an acronym for 'Integrated Power Supply and Line Output' -- 'Line Output' is what you woudl call 'Horizontal Output'. Yes, the chopper transformer and flyback transformer were one and the same. IIRC< the vetical defleciton coils were o nthe output side of the pSU isolation barrier, the horizontal deflection coils were on the mains side. Just a little trap for the unwary... -tony
