[comp.sys.mac] AppleColor monitor part needed

gilbertd@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (Don Gilbert) (10/05/89)

Can anyone suggest to me how I find out why the repair
shop that has my AppleColor monitor can't get a $50 part
from Apple to fix it?  Three months back a high voltage
capacitor / voltage regulator broke for no reason.  
Indiana Univ. where I work has an authorized Mac repair
group, and they said about half a dozen AppleColor monitors
broke with the same problem at this same time (the monitor
turns itself off whenever you turn it on). 
   Well, my monitor has been sitting for these three months,
and my macII is unusable, waiting for a part from Apple.
Who can I contact to find out why there is such a long
delay?  Do I need to throw out the old monitor for want of
a part and buy a new one?  Is there an alternate vendor for
parts (is it a Sony?)
