- I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me where to get parts for my
- 1084S-D1. I saw that Better Concepts has a $10 grab bag but have yet to
- call them to find out whats in it. If anyone has a reputable dealer with
- service center that has spare parts or access to order some PLEASE let me
- know. OR if anyone knows a Electronics Shack that has parts in stock PLEASE
- email me with the info. BTW: the tube is an Orion.
-
- Also if anyone has schematics online please feel free to email me them :)
-
- MY SPECIFIC PROBLEM (or not):
-
- I was watching tv on my 1084 (its good for that you know :) when the screen
- shot blank and a high pitched whining noise started. So I quickly shut it
- off and ripped the back off the monitor. I found out that the noise is
- being emited somewhere near the transformer. But I am not sure exactly
- where. As there is a big heat sheild near it with a funny looking diode on
- it shaped like a rectangle with pointed ends screwed and heat wielded to it.
- Also there is a big capacitor next to it.
- I was pretty sure that the transformer was making the noise so I desoldered
- it and pulled it out and reapplied power...... The noise stopped, which is
- understandable since the power could go no further :) so I put it back in
- and resoldered it and the noise came back :(I hoped it was a solder joint)
- so I think I need a new transformer.
-
- I have heard that this is a common problem as a friend of mine has a couple
- of 1084's that a broke with one doing the same as mine (to bad ones not
- 1084s-d1 so I could disect it).
-
- I would appreciate it if ANYONE has any help for me as I am stuck using this
- god awefull tty terminal until my monitor is fixed and I can go back to
- using my amiga (long live it).
-
- THANKS TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP!!!
