Hello,

Seems my monitor has gone on the fritz.  Looks like it lost vertical
sync.  All I get is a bunch of horizontal lines (I assume the picture)
connected by diagonal lines (I assume the retrace).

It started to flake out slowly, only giving problems when I really had
some work to do but now it gone.  It is one of the Goldstar's.  I was
hoping to find a crack someplace in the pcboard but no dice. (my cat
sort of threw in on the ground one day so it wasn't a bad guess)

Well, without prints I am hopeless.  Any ideas as to what may have
blown?  or maybe what the prints are for this thing so I can figure it
out myself? (I used to do this sort of thing, fixing Atari's and TV's 
back in HS)

thanks

p.s. Where can I get the newest version of Uniterm?  I have v2.0c and
I assume that this is out of date.
