Yesterday, I read the message from someone who warned about ignoring
1084 snapping and popping lest one wait until the high voltage power
supply blew.  About 2 messages later my 1084 (which snapped and popped
for about a year) went black.

But, this posting is not about hexes on computers.  I have been
rearranging my various components while my 1084 is being repaired.  I
moved a 1080 monitor from an A1000 to my A2000, and now need one for
the A1000.  I have a monitor for a C64, and I think it should be
possible to use this - somehow.  The problem is that the C64 monitor
is a 1702 with a separated chroma-luma-audio input.  I have various
cables and adaptors lying around, and an RGB to composite (type F
connector out) adaptor.  But, how do I get an A1000 to separated
chroma-luma-audio?  Can I buy some parts at RadioShack and build
something to do this?  The audio is sort of obvious, but how do you go
from either RGB or composite to chroma-luma?

I would be grateful for any suggestions, especially ones that involve no cost.
