Harv,

     I have had my Amiga from Oct. 85 as well with one slight
difference. I have had my 1080 from day one! I've been inside it
(modified maximum resolution "7" times - would normally indicate a
person who can't make up his mind - might be right!) over and over
again, but never for maintenance! No snapping, cracking, hissing,
pinging, ringing, or singing! If your original 1080 exhibited the
same problems that you are having with the 1084s, being a technician
for several years I would have to say that the odds are there is
either something very wrong with your power (possibly an abnormal
cycle shift like 45-70hz on the ac line) or your Amiga analog
connection! I would need more information to pin it down exactly,
but I have never had a problem with my monitor (1080) and have
several friends with Amiga's who have never had problems with their
monitors (all 1080's). I don't know - is this problem as widespread
as you say? Does anybody else out there have similar stories?
