[comp.sys.atari.st] monitor woes

scarlett@watdcsu.UUCP (07/30/87)

Hi,
  I have a monochrome sm124 monitor which has started to act funny this past
  month.  The display is no longer rectangular and there is a very distinct
  flicker to the screen...particularly at the bottom.
  I have opened up the monitor to poke around but have not been able to get
  the display back to the way it was (it's better than it was but not
  by much)
  I assumed the flicker was do to some power supply locations and moved
  all of my various atari components as far away as possible.....still no
  effect on that darn flicker.
  Any words of advice?
  (I ask because the service shop here wants almost 70 bucks to 'tune'
  the thing and look at the flicker)
  Thanks

was bright (florescent) orange instead of the white it should have
been.  To put it simply, the screen is royally screwd up (sorry for
typos, using an Atari 8<bit term program I haven't touched for awhile -
nice to have a computer backup).  Anyways, can someone tell me why
this has happened, and maybe a simple solution if there is one
(or else it's off to the TV repairman I guess - $$$)...
