Re: Sony CPD-1302 monitor -- IIGS cable?

  Hi all,

    Just curious why would one want to use a non Apple monitor?   I am
using the original Apple digital color monitor with my IIgs.

   I have been thinking some lately about how to preserve or at least
extend the life of these old Apple monitors, of which I have 4: the II
monochrome, the IIc AppleColor Composite, the IIgs monitor, and the
monitor built into my Mac Color Classic.   I only have schematics for
the II mono screen.

   I have been assuming that caps replacement in at least the power
supply would be the best approach.   I wonder if there is a place one
could (cost-effectively) send the analog boards for a caps overhaul?
