MONITOR* "BLOOMING"* MOD
A condition which is normally described as "blooming" has been found in some
15V2000 and 19V2000 chassis series.
This condition is caused by arcing within the high voltage rectifier connectors. To
cure this problem, follow the procedure shown below.
COMPRESSED
SPRINGS
1. Switch off AC power and remove the monitor from the game.
2. Remove H. V. cover secured by two screws.
3. Unplug the H.V. rectifier from its holders and inspect the holders to insure that
the springs are inside the holder. See sketch.
4. Replace the rectifier with a new rectifier W.G. part number 66X0067-002.
The leads of the rectifier must be cut and formed in the same manner as the
original.
5. Insert the rectifier firmly in its holders, banded side toward C.R.T.
6. Inspect the lead dress of the transformer H.V. wire. Wire must be dressed as
shown.
7. Inspect fuse F102 on main deflection P.C. board. The fuse value should be 1.5
amp.
8. Replace the H.V. cover which was removed in step No. 2.
