Thanks for your prompt reply David.

I have already printed my board for a Teensy 3.6. I have no issues soldering 
tiny smd components assuming that I can get an LTC22632! I may design a small 
PCB to super-impose the Teensy 4.1 over the existing footprint and layout. In 
doing so, I could add the dual DAC on this new adapter board. I can see CS is 
connected to pin10 but where are CLK and SDI of the LTC2632 connected? I don’t 
see them in the code. Yes, It would be great if you could post diagram for 
SCTV-E for Teensy 4.1 please.

Interesting that you are redesigning the transformer. I managed to hand-wire 
mine and seems to work well. The 6.3V for the heater is the one that I’m not 
too sure how to calibrate exactly, since the SMPS… It shines a bit too bright 
at the moment and voltage drops to 2V, so that’s not healthy for the heater 
filament. I can remove a few turns but not sure what is the ‘exact’ RMS V I’m 
looking for given the spikes of the SMPS at 100Khz, I’ll continue to experiment 
on that using a 6.2V 500mA lightbulb to avoid damaging the CRT.

Thanks again for updating the schematic when you get a chance, it’ll save me so 
much time to experiment.
