I take it you're not talking about the well-documented 1950 screen jitter
problem, where the whole screen bounces up and down in unison at random.

My 3000's video looks wavy at powerup, i.e. some lines are bent horizontally.
Is this what you mean? If I cycle the power, it does not recur. It only
happens when the 3000 is cold.

It goes away within 30 seconds for me. Believe me, I'm keeping an eye
on this! If it gets any worse, into the shop she goes!

Yours is the first post I've seen that sounds like someone might have
the same trouble I have, but I've only been an Amigoid :) for 3 months...
