Thanks, those are the first circuit diagrams I have seen for these supplies and will be very useful.
I think that the 50kV units are different from the lower voltage ones. The circuit diagram mostly matches what I have seen on the board. I pulled out the main board and connected it to my bench power supply for debugging as the sound of ~50kV flying out the back was scaring me. Without the benefit of the diagram I checked IC voltages and replaced eletros that had corroded, as well as few other bits. I also checked the voltage reference, which is an LM399H. But still no change, no response to the control potentiometer and I assume full volts flying out the back.
I am thinking that the voltage feedback path is not working but didn't know where to look for it. The circuit diagram will give me a chance of repairing it now, but happy to take advice.
