		then replace control PC board (see
		Procedure for Replacing PC Boards).
		If not, then replace tachometer.

	If voltage > ± 11 VDC then gun is
	defective.
	If voltage is < ± 11 VDC then check
	the voltage across pin 2 (+) and pin 8
	(-) of connector J1 on control PC
	board.
	If the voltage is still < ± 11 VDC then
	replace control PC board. (See
	Procedure for replacing PC boards).
	Otherwise, either the gun connector or
