Our Sun3/50 monochrome monitor recently failed. Replacing the flyback
transformer and some resoldering fixed things for a couple of weeks. The
latest failure prompts the following two questions:
1. Is it possible for a Sun2 monochrome monitor to work on a 3/50? The
connectors are identical but the number of "used" pins differs.
2. Can anyone recommend a good place to get our monitor repaired?

If you have a broken Sun workstation monitor and would like to have it repaired economically try this: Check the label plate on the back of the monitor and see if it was made by Elston Electronics, Geneva, NY. The company was recently purchased by Display Technologies, where factory repairs are now performed. Call Tony Denardo at 709-931-2141 (or -2131). The cost is $99 flat unless a major component such as the picture tube needs replacement. Our experience was a 7 week turnaround, but it was over the Christmas break and it was the first Elston monitor that Display Technologies had ever repaired, so you may expect a shorter turnaround time. Here's the shipping address: Display Technologies, 1355 Holmes Road, Elgin, Illinois 60123. Brian Fitzgerald
