Need a recommendation in New York City. The picture on my monitor (Commodore 1950-B multiscan) suddenly goes out. There is no visual breakup or audible indication that anything is wrong, it just goes out. If you give it a little "whop" on the side it may blink back on for a minute or so but then it's gone again. I've looked inside for loose connections, improperly seated components etc. to no avail. Anyone recognize this problem? I sent the thing off for repair. It took two months and cost $150.00. When I got it back, it worked for about three days and then it began again. There must be hundreds of decent repair shops in New York (I live in midtown Manhattan) but I've never had to find one before. Can anyone recommend a place to repair this monitor. I've just gotten a Retina 24bit display card and I can't use it!!! Thank You

If you got a Retina, save yourself the headache of fixing the 1950 and go buy a nice SVGA monitor. (The Retina will promote old modes to VGA in case you need them, right?) — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing — INTERNET:dale@iam.com
