Like, not RGB, and a genuine PAL VIC (not an NTSC VIC at 50Hz or something strange)? Was this mpython, by the way?

Yeah, I've got an October 1987 serial 002349. I've also got a 1080 from June 1986. On the one hand, they are busted -- the 1080 vertical sweep is hosed, so just a single line is displayed; the 1084 has a strange problem with mild red saturation (as if the tint knob was turned towards red). On the other hand, that line is just a shade of gray when I hook up my PAL 64, and there is no color evident on the 1084 (just shades of red); when I hook my 128 up, there is color, and not just shades of red. I just checked it. And that's why I've considered these claims to be dubious. :) I'm afraid I'll have to see it to believe it. -Steve P.S. Does anyone happen to have suggestions as to how to fix up a monitor whose vertical sweep is toast, and oh by the way what about a monitor which seems to have extra red saturation? :) - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
