Well, don't know the results you've ben getting with your Amigen, but back
in the stone ages I used two different units with my A500+BigFoot power
supply and they always had problems of color shifting,  overheating,
unstable keying...

In order to alleviate some of those problems, I used to tweak the (one?
two? can't recall) small rotary dials inside the case (one was for color
and the other vertical/horiz. stabilization I believe). I was able to

but quality still was suffering (and I was using professional VTRs!) so as
soon as I could I got rid of the Amigen and saved for a SuperGen...
