    This is a common problem with 1084's. It is caused by hi voltage arcing 
on the underside of the circuit board in the monitor. Check out the article
in the recent (dated Oct of last year, but just delivered in Feb) Ami Transactor.
It describes just what causes the problem & how to fix it. This is important
enough that copies should be made and distributed with monitors to all Amiga
users, and posted on all BBS's.
