    Help Vectrex with sound but no display.

    finding an oscilloscope may be harder then fixing the vectrex lol.. Looking for an analogue model it appears used is my only option and who know's what you will actually get on eBay.

    Help Vectrex with sound but no display.

    your correct it is a -30V rail. I was just measuring what voltage was in the capacitor. Is there a reasonably prices oscilloscope you would recommend? My volt meter does measure frequency but I dont think that would be of much help.

    Is there a way to check the Z.Axis without an oscilloscope? The Capacitor c508 appears to be getting voltage so I assumed the protection circuit was working properly.

    After doing some more following of the voltage. It appears the flyback is getting the -30V. But when I checked Capacitor C516 it does not appear to be getting any voltage and the Diode 504 that feeds it test's okay. I'm assuming this points to a bad flyback transformer? If so I fear this is DOA...

    Help Vectrex with sound but no display.

    Some additional information if some one is able to help. I did some voltage probing around the CRT board last night. Pin 2 on the CRT electrodes was getting 46V, Pin 5 - 13V, But I was getting 0V on pin 6 and 7. I believe this is the high voltage that runs the vectors. From information that I...
