I have exactly the same problem with my AppleColor RGB Monitor, Model no.
A2M6014 (no X) manufactured August 1987.  I too heard that this is a common
problem but the only thing else that I heard was that it was caused by bad
(old) capacitors.  Unfortunately, I don't know which ones.  I have inspected
mine (mainly the electrolytics) and don't see anything physically wrong.  Other
than replace every one, I don't know what to do.
