Nevertheless, I too noticed that the monitor was > very jittery. ..etc. When I acquired my monochrome system in July 86, I did notice an occasional jittery. Also a white ghost band (1/4 inch) would appear once a while from left to right near the top of the screen. I returned the monitor within a week, and the replacement I got (SM124) hasn't given me any problem since (not even jittery). With regards to skewed display, etc., one can quite easily open up the monitor and make some adjustments. If you look at the deflection yoke, it's held by a single screw located at the neck of the tube. Unscrew it slightly, gently turn the yoke as approppriate, then tighten screw again. Right by the screw are two deflection levers; these shift the image horizontally. To enlarge the image, adjust the white plastic screws located on the bottom circuit board of the monitor. (All these pertain only to the SM124 since that's all I have) Opening the monitor will VOID the warranty. *** BE CAREFUL!!
