   I know it's been discussed to death before...

   My Mac Plus screen has just developed a few idiosyncracies...  First, the 
top of the menu bar is physically bent, rather like:
                                   ______________________
      _____________________--------                     |
      |                                                 |

    ...etc.  Apologies to those using kerning fonts.

   And, the letters will actually appear to quiver. 

   Back when I first got the toy, some three years ago, there were reports
of this happening all over.  I somehow envisioned the entire screen shimmering-
that is, in a nice steady sinusoidal pattern with a large period, not 
single-pixel lines being displaced by half a pixel width, like I'm getting.

   Anyway, with an attitude of "It's not happening to me now, so it probably
never will," I dismissed the advice and ignored the thread.
   Well, now it's happening to me...  I recall something about flaky power
supplies being blamed.  Anyone know if that would be the culprit?  Any suggest-
ions on a remedy?  (Purchasing a IIci does not viably constitute a remedy to
me...:-))  I'd like to avoid my local Apple dealers, as they are thieves. I
have no fear of soldering irons, replacing components, et cetera.

   Thanks in advance...
   Andrew
