The two negative display voltages must be 12 V apart
What matters for the -125 and -113 V supplies (or -115 and -103) is that they sit 12 V apart; -98 and -110 is fine, and -118 should pair with -106. If they are not 12 V apart the controller's high voltage section needs rebuilding. Losing -125 V also loses -113 V. Williams lowered both by 10 V on later boards to make displays last longer.

- Display voltages low: display or HV section?
- -125 V and -113 V read the same and the display is dark
- Gas discharge displays need high voltage
- Negative HV low and display barely lights
- Outgassed displays and the 5 V supply
- Replace the whole display, not just the glass
- Display shows garbage or nothing though the glass is fine
