Hi,
I traced the 18Khz signal all the way from the moment it enters the
logic board until the video board (attached to the neck of the CRT).
The signal is there (it has different shapes but it is 18KHz). The
output of both transistors is 18KHz and so is the output of the

party 'blockbusters' from outfits like Activision appeared, that the gaming
public came to realize just how seriously lazy and unimaginative Atari's

and the other APL/360 on MTS so again Hercules is needed.
