Well, obviously anything below the recommended figure

However I don't want to start fulfilling minimum orders with places like Farnell until I have everything I need. I'm supposed to have 123v +-0.5v DC with the brightness control 'set to maximum' (Matsush*ta TM202G) and the best I can manage is 119v sagging to around 115 once the display is running normally. The HV is running around 26Kv which is correct and the input voltage is measured at 119vAC.

I'm mainly concerned with sorting out the manky black level and slighlty washed out colours, I have tried dropping the B+ even lower to see what happens and it doesn't seem to make much difference to the colour balance but the screen size sags somewhat. I guess ultimatley I'll have to fix the B+ next but I'm looking for an excuse to put it off :)

I should probably mention I've just dug this out of the garage where it's been sitting for 7+ years and replaced the LOPT. Prior to it's ordeal of fire and negligence it was set up properly.

BTW: Nice 'naughty word' filter, it censored my monitor, surely it's not that bad....
