I received a Varmint XL1000 from a SK about 3 years ago. It has been sitting ever since. I pulled the covers off last week and the power supply board is mostly unhooked. I have no idea where these wires go. I have searched (with no luck) for a schematic for this. If anyone has one they are willing to share, that would be very helpful. At a minimum, the HV power supply schematic or drawing or something. Anyone have such a thing?
Thank you,

Thanks Nomad, I was going to try to use some pictures and notes from other rebuilds I have seen online if I couldn't find a schematic. I seen that thread last week when I first pulled the covers. I thought then...NOPE! Put the covers back on and sell it as is where is.. So the covers went back on. I haven't sold it.. Well.....now its this week and ya get to thinking...maybe, just maybe... Probably shouldn't.. LOL Thanks as always guys!
