CBM8032 - wobbly screen

-> Since I left the big cap in place, it can only be the transformer -> which is causing the wobble - can't it? -> -> I genuinely don't know. That's the only part I've swapped in the -> new 8032. -> Could a flakey transformer be making the screen wobble? How do -> transformers go flakey anyway, if indeed they *can* co flakey? Well, actually I think the transformer is the cause of the problem, but not in the way you are thinking. You may have an problem with the magnetic field of the transformer being coupled to the monitor, either via the yoke or directly to the CRT. Does the problem lessen as the distance between the transformer and the monitor is increased? See the photos of the Commodore Educator 64, Model 4064 at http://www.swtpc.com/commodor.htm . I remember the general position of the power transformer is similar to the Pets. Note the shielding of the transformer in the photos. This was used to prevent the problem which you are describing, and if this shielding is removed the wobble will occur. Try placing a shaded pole motor or large transformer anywhere near the sides or back of a modern monitor and you'll see the same wobbling effect. Hope this helps. Bill
