As I recall, my Lisa had some sort of display problem when I first got
it
and when I went to twiddle the various monitor board trim pots, the
problem
cleared up. It was just old dirty contacts on the CRT adjustment
potentiometers
that caused the problem. As long as you keep track of where they
started, you
can often wiggle them back and forth a bit to re-establish a "good"
contact.
