Re: Tech: Help with SID Monitor issue please!



Of curiosity (sorry, knowledge on the various monitors are
my weakest link), I saw that there was some banter about
'red' and 'blue' on the underside of the monitor's chassis,
by the leads that connect to the yoke. As if both signals
(in an RGB setup) are combined to make the glorious B/W signal.
Guess I should just pull the damn thing back out again and start
testing components with my DMM.

Red and blue probably refer to the colors of the wires to the deflection yoke, they're often used for the horizontal winding, just as yellow and green are often for the vertical. A B&W monitor has only one video amplifier channel, unlike the three used in a color monitor, otherwise the electronics are very similar.

I still stand by my suggestion to hook up a TV signal from a VCR or other source so you can get the whole screen lit up and a better idea of what's going on.
