I have the problem with my 1084 monitor where it snaps occasionally with
a jump in the picture.  I read the article about this problem in the Transactor,
and they suggested several things including using a high-voltage insulating
spray.  They also mentioned a spot on the bottom of the logic board which
suffers from arcing.  I opened up my 1084 to fix this and discovered that
there is a large flat sheet of metal soldered to the bottom - some sort of
shield - which makes it impossible to get at the spot they were talking about
in the article.  None of the suggestions they gave could be applied to my
1084 so I'm out of luck.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?
