hantarex 9000 sparking LOPT

[Lurch666]

Test monitor died last night.

Got sparking from near the top of the LOPT.
Does that mean the LOPT has failed or could it be another fault causing the sparking?

Sounds like time for a new lopt, to me. Based on recent experience, don't bother getting a replacement from Donberg.

LOPT replaced.
Also swapped out the neck socket for a new one since the old one was showing it's age.
It's working now but I appear to be getting a clicking sound from the neck area and the screen is jumping in time with the click.
Thinking it could be the spark gap in the new neck socket.

yeah put original socket back on

New sockets are crap?

 

[gunblade]

might not be correct type
i bet the old one is where the focus wire goes right through the body and solders onto a plate

You know your stuff.
Pain in the ass but will swap it back.

Thanks dude.

Swapped back and now all good.

Where would we be without @gunblade?

Great Job ! You must be pleased

There would be a lot more LCDs in cabs that’s for sure!
Fantastic and generous the amount of help and advice offered to solve an issue.
