Virtually all monitors have these pots (the 1084's indeed Yeah, I always figured that's what they were for. One of them was clearly off-center, and sure enough, turning it back fixed up the problem (I think someone else had tried to "fix" the monitor). The only other 1084 problems I have had are the dreaded cold solder joints. FWIW, the first time around I located the problem by moving the PCB around in a dark room; the arcing was then visible. Now I think they bad joints are pretty easy to find, though -- flow a little new solder in them and voila! Good for another 10-20 years. Anyways, turning the pot seems to have done the trick, so thanks guys! And it still doesn't do PAL color :). One down and 4 more monitors to go :). -Steve - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list. To unsubscribe: echo unsubscribe | mail cbm-hackers-request@dot.tcm.hut.fi.
