If Mike's monitor is made by Gold Star, I wish him luck in
getting it fixed.  My SC1224 went out in June, and my local
repair shop couldn't get the power supply parts they ordered
from Gold Star (they ordered a voltage regulator and later
a flyback transformer).  When I finally called Gold Star
directly, they DENIED they had ever made Atari monitors at all.
After being presented with evidence that they did, they
admitted it, but refused to offer any support (that is, parts).

My impression (which may be false) is that they don't have the
contract to make monitors for Atari any more, and they aren't
interested in supporting them.

Meanwhile, my color monitor is still not working.  Whine gripe moan.
