   You are right, a decent or semi-decent signal can be obtained
   straight out of the 1000. My assumtion is that if you have a 1000
   you know this. If you don't have a 1000 (as you know) there is
   no video out. 

Actually, if all you want to do is record Amiga graphics - no
genlocing, etc, then the A520 will do the trick. Plug it into the RGB
out of the Amiga (_any_ Amiga), and take composite video off of it.
It should cost less than $50.

BTW, I keep one on my A3000, attached to an el cheapo monitor (or
two). That way I can verify that the images that look great via the
display enhancer & a multisync monitor are sufficiently flicker-free
and are reaadable in monochrome.
