Yep - I'd suspected it was a yoke issue, but I Don't Like To Mess.
Especially since getting that bit wrong can result not only in people
jumping about uncontrollably and getting burns, but also, you can crack the
neck of the tube if you get it wrong.

Just don't understand why the //c monitors I've seen have always been like
this. Surely it's the sort of obvious flaw people notice when making
something ;)

Richard (I looked at the tube I removed from my Mac 128, and considered the
Mac that J-M-J had on the Docklands tour - I'd swear he had a regular Mac
Plus, but with a green screen...)
