Does anyone out there know of any 3rd party repair service for the D-machines
?  I've an 1186 whose power-supply inside the monitor seems to be wearing out
(can't seem to handle the large draw of current from almost black screen to
white screen when one logs in after a long idle time -- screen image shrink
briefly upon login accompanied by a small cracking noise).  Xerox told me that
they'll have to replace the whole monitor and it's going to cost over $700.
Just wondering if anyone know of any 3rd party repair that would provide
cheaper service/replacement or any cheap/quick fix to it.  The machine is
working fine otherwise.
