I've got one for you, Paul.  My IIGS RGB monitor now only displays
a horizontal line across the center of the screen.  I've flipped through
PC Tech books and discovered that this is a common problem and
that "the vertical deflection is faulty" or something like that.  What
does that mean and is it expensive to fix?
