Sounds like the circuit I have here from "The PET Revealed".
That is very likely, though I probably found a copy of just the
diagram somewhere on the web. I have a copy of the book at home,
but I didn't bring it with me.
but for
some reason I don't
have all the components labelled on my drawing - the cap on hsync in
particular.
It's not labeled on the diagram in the book, nor does the text say what
value it is.
That would explain why my schematic doesn't have it, then.
One
interesting variation with that one is that the 'LS02
circuit has a 1.5K pulldown on hsync between the cap and the gate,
while the CD4011/CD4066 circuit has a 10K pot. How much adjustment on
hsync is likely to be needed between the PET and the first gate of the
composite circuit?
The text in the book says "You may encounter problems with the
horizontal hold, but these can usually be cured by adjusting R1", and
goes on to speak of low quality monitors or converted TVs...
Ah. Thanks much for that. I have plenty of small PCB pots... easy to
fit on in.
