Being relatively new, this COULD possibly be found somewhere in here but, I haven't come across it yet.
Recently bought a nice 2.4 RGB from a member here with DT40 pros and, 18 minutes into watching some shows, the X scanner has appeared to die on me. I'm not faulting the seller, I think it's just bad luck and timing. Wasn't doing anything particularly weird. 30kpps and varying between about 70 and 100% scan angles depending on whether it was a graphics show, a beam show or a Pangolin test frame. I don't believe there are any wires that loosened up in shipping, or at least none that I can identify. The LED's on the amps are lit.
Any suggestions on step by step testing? What usually goes bad? Is it the (forgive my ignorance) round cylinder thingy (technical term) with the mirror attached that runs through the scanner block or, is it more often a problem with the amp? Can I safely switch the Y axis and x axis cables just to see if the mirror moves to eliminate that as a possibility? If it IS the round cylinder thingy, can just that be purchased and replaced and re-tuned or, am I looking at buying a new set of scanners? I have another set of DT40 Pros that I could pillage if I just need to swap out a part for the time being.
As I said to Buffo... I spent $233 per minute of pleasure so, it's I guess it's kinda like the average cost of sex. I'd just like to see if I can get this sorted out without having to wait until SELEM and take up someone elses precious time looking at it for me.
