Very possible - in this case I would have demanded an entirely
new monitor and keep going 'til I got one with a decent yoke.
A decent picture is the whole purpose of a monitor and not going
with a TV, right?

Eric Lavitsky displayed a 1302 at the JAUG meeting last week
and it displayed a slight pincushion.  Supposedly this is a
common problem with Sony monitors but I've had a CDP1201 since
November of '85 (same as my Amiga) and have no real problems
with it.   The only things I've found are the RED gun needs
tweaking (downward) a tad and the pictures VERY slightly "tilted"
(actually rotated about the center a degree or three).  But it's
still one of the best monitors I've seen even if it is only
12-inches.

TAKE IT BACK!
