#N::38900001:000:628 !bob Oct 21 09:17:00 1983 I have a problem with slowly drifting bars of distortion floating across the screen of my Atari 800. The bars are horizontal, about 1/10th of the screen wide and take several seconds to drift upwards. The text or game is visible behind this fuzzy patch, but resolution is lost, and it's very distracting. The problem can usually be corrected by turning the machine on and off multiple times or opening and shutting the lid several times. The appearance rate of the bars and the drift speed are very constant. Any ideas on the cause or cure? R.L.Carroll BTL-Wh Rm 2E232a 201-386-2609 harpo!bob
