If the flickering is like vertical jumping or sudden shrinking
and expanding of the picture in vertical direction - just the
way my monitor did - maybe this info I got will help you...

There might be "cold" solderings in the monitor electronics.
Check and, if necessary, resolder:
	- all connectors
	- all big coils, especially streak transformer
	  and the red one with some stuff under it
	- brightness and contrast controls
	- also, if necessary, change the 100ohm, 0.5W
	  recistor near the edge of the card beside the
	  red coil.

I did most of the things mentioned above and, voila, all flickering
and dancing ceased.

Enjoy,
Jari.
