Re: Apple IIgs Monitor

My Mac se and my eMac suffer from it.


What kind of radiation do you mean?

DF
My Se is inches left to the IIgs, the eMac is a foot or so on the right side. If I turn on the IIgs Monitor the Mac get a picture shifting right and a black bar wandering from top to bottom in ca 5 sec. interval.
The eMac CRT  just get somehow flickering.Not too bad but notable.

Reminds me on my early days when I was working on automotive IC's.
There was a test called Load Dump. The tester was basically a huge Capacitor which was discharged through my IC's. Whenever I "dumped", all Monitors in the LAB would look like someone has pushed the pictured to one side. Also all test circuits close to the load dump tester behaved erratic. Well, whenever I did these test I had the Lab exclusively as everybody else took a break.:-)

I've also noticed this problem with older CRT's that are close together. The newer low emission ones are a lot better, but that doesn't help if the only monitor that will work is ancient! Michael's advice sounds like a good fix.

That must have been some capacitor! I'm guessing this isn't the kind you want to charge up and toss to someone as a joke...:)

What voltage/Farad rating was it?
