Sounds like the same problem we had on our 3/60. Turns our it was just a
bad cable (or cable connection) between the monitor and color board. Try
jiggling the RGB cable a few times and see if that effects the flicker.
If so, you can probably replace the cable or do like we did...move the
cable until the flicker disapears, then try not to move the monitor too
much. (It's not that I`m lazy, but the amount of paperwork I'd have to
fill out to replace the cable isn't worth the extra effort (notice no
smiley face)).
