- One of my friends told me about problems with C= monitors. he said
- mostly resoldering the deflection transformer helps. They also had
- this problem on the 1081. Just wait for a while with your monitor
- disconnected (at least overnight), then there should be no more
- current on the leads. Soldering is easy since the contacts are fairly
- big.

- Hope that helps, Bye, Oliver
