034- I picked up a IIgs RGB monitor at a garage sale. The focus is
     off and it took several minutes until the display got brighter
     but it's still not very good. Are there any adjustments that can
     be made?

     The problem you describe is consistant with low B+ going to the flyback
transformer which results in low brightness level, poor focus, and blooming
when the brightness and/or screen level is turned up. More than likely if this
monitor has been sitting around for awhile, the filter capacitors have gone to
mush. Sometimes they can be revived by leaving the monitor on for a long period
of time <over 24hrs> but, usually, they require replacement.

     The power supply filter capacitors are going to be relatively large
electrolytic capacitors located somewhere close to the place the line cord
comes into the monitor.

     You can order the v1.8 ROM (actually a PROM) from SHH Systeme in Germany (
http://users.ids.net/~kerwood/shh.html ).  I think the price is $12 plus
shipping.
