Hi all,

this is an alternative question to my previous post, "CBM 8032 board into a CBM 3032 case/monitor?", since I'm looking for an alternative exit from my troubles...

Resuming: I have a spare, working 8032sk without keyboad and a faulty 3032 I'm one step away to fix it use gasoline and a match

I tried to connect the 8032 board to the 3032 9" monitor. The image appears but it's quite messy (like when you drive a CRT above its max resolution: green background instead of black, text shifted, some horz. bright lines, etc...).

So here's the question:

CAN I USE THE 8032 CRT DRIVER BOARD (the one inside the monitor, directly connected to the 8032 crt) ON THE 3032 9" CRT?
I was thinking to extract the board from the 12" CRT and use it to replace the one inside the 9" CRT.

- Will it blow, or will it work?

- Will it drive the 9" CRT to the 80 columns resolution from the 8032 board?

- Should I use the original crt transformer or whatever it is (I mean the one attached on the side of the crt with a "sucker" connector)
OR
Should I simply extract the "sucker" connector from the crt and put the one originally attached to the 8032 12" crt?

thank you!
