Star Wars upright - restoration
Level42:
Congratulations !!! I exactly know how you felt :)
Yes turn down the brightness so that you just don't see the white dot in the middle. Don't let is run with the dot !!! It'll burn your screen !
You should adjust it on the HV-PCB's original pot's near the HVT.
About the picture size: there are pots for this on both the vector PCB AND the deflection PCB. Adjusting the size (x and y) will also influence the diamond and BIP settings, so first get the correct picture size (you need to be able to see the blue dots in every corner of the screen).
Go through the entire set-up as described in the manual. The most important to correctly set the screen are the diamonds-screen and the BIP-test screen. What I did was first adjust the diamond screen, then went to the BIP-test screen and adjusted again. It then still looked good at the diamond-screen.
Here's just the video of the test screens. Mine looks much better after adjusting the pots.

Did that (both turn down the brightness and didn't let it run)...

Will do, but why did they have to put the pots so far in the back. so hard to change while trying to look at the monitor... I guess I need a helper... ::)

1) Remove the PCB-set from it's cage while adjusting. Place it carefully on f.i. a chair without metal etc. of course.
2) Use a mirror :) It was easy to put it on the seat of the cockpit, maybe a bit harder on the upright.
3) Pictures ? :) :angel:
