I suspect this > has been the case for my CGA monitors. True for most older equipment - I have a couple of dead PETs suffering from this problem - one day "soon" I'll fix 'em. Several old Commodore 108x monitors here - one of 'em has been in daily use since around '87 as a monitor attached to a VCR in my bedroom - apart from the odd dry solder every now & again (par for the course with these), never had a problem. Others are used for a variety of other tasks, including a 1084S (stereo) that's attached to the TV tuner card on this 'puter. They also turn up quite frequently as monitors attached to security cameras in many shops & banks :-) They seem to go forever :-) Most of 'em are Philips jobs re-branded. cheers, Lance // http://commodore.thebbs.org telnet://commodore.thebbs.org Since 1987 - Australia's oldest Amiga BBS // --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
