Sorry, I got the monitor wrong. I’ve got a G05-805 in my asteroids cocktail. I never rewound the yoke it’s a vector monitor

Cheers, yeah maybe noisy power. I’ll investigate further. Thanks
Others have had this problem too it seems, but I'm not sure if it is a hardware or software problem, or a bit of both. I'm away until New Year but can do some testing when I get back. I would recommend trying an older version of the code from github (say from a year or 2 ago) as I have changed the line drawing routines and it could be that the older version works better on your setup. I'll do some testing myself in a couple of weeks and update here.
I ordered myself a few v3 boards from JLPCB. It was just as cheap to order 10 as it was 1.
I have 7 spare I may as well move on - £1 each per PCB plus postage:
£1.55 postage (2nd class - not recorded) in the UK
£3.30 1st class (again, not recorded delivery) in the UK
These won't be economical to post outside of the UK.
Payment my PP Gift (or pay the fees).
Drop me a PM if you want one.

Let us know how you get on with the build, and if you need any help.
Thanks!
First dumb question... The BOM lists the following:
19 | 10K 1% 1/4W | R-US_0204/2V | Resistor_THT:R_Axial_DIN0207_L6.3mm_D2.5mm_P7.62mm_Horizontal | 71-RN60E1002F
Mouser want £2.72 each and given there are 19 required, it gets a bit pricey. Are there any cheaper alternatives you could suggest?
There are no exotic passive components needed, so no need to pay through the nose. Aliexpress is a cheap source, for example: Aliexpress resistors
£2.72 on Mouser is for 1 pack of 100 resistors.
As english2 said, you can get them a lot cheaper on Aliexpress (I’ve never had a problem myself with resistors from Aliexpress).
YuanQi Electronics Store are selling the 10k 1% metal film resistors in a pack of 100 for 91p.

Edit: Just noticed english2 link above is even cheaper at 84p from QJSET Official Store (no relation to me, honest
)

Oh Man, I had several boards delivered just over a week ago to set up my test rig for my G08 from a Star Trek Captains chair (would have saved you buying some), I also have several spare bare boards so if or when all yours are taken I have some for people. I plan to build mine up in the next week or so, I also have a Star wars running, Battlezone , Asteroids and a Star Castle projects all with Vector monitors that will need testing and sorting for sure. Great project and looking forward to getting stuck in.
