UPDATE My Deflection PCB is all assembled.

A project log for BUILD an ARCADE XY VECTOR MONITOR

I set out to build a working 13"-27" CRT Arcade XY Vector Monitor. UPDATE!!! 5" and 9" monitors too.

My deflection pcb is all assembled. I am waiting for two 24V dc power supplies I ordered to come in. They should be here any day.   I will use them to power the deflection pcb. Someone asked about the turns on the yoke. I used 92 turns per side as a starting point. The vectrex uses 120 turns and the atari wg6100 uses 93 or so turns. I started with 92 to see how it works. I have a good design for a high voltage power supply, but I may use a replacement wg6100 flyback, design something similar  to the wg6100 and run the high voltage off from the two 24v power supplies as well. Someone said that they wanted to remake the ZVG email me. Fredkono@gmail.com Also After these Deflection PCB's are tested and ran for reliability I plan to sell a couple if anyone is interested.

Thanks for sharing the info. I plan to try some yoke rewinding so this gives me a good starting point.
Do the other two example (the Vectrex, the WG6100) also use 24awg wire?

  Are you sure? yes | no
