 I had (and still have to some extent) the same problem
on my Executive.  I
managed
to mitigate the problem somewhat by replacing the 12 volt muffin fan with a
117 volt
fan in order to reduce the load on the power supply.  The shimmering was
reduced, but 
not eliminated.   
Gerald,

   Then would you say the power supply is getting weak?  It looks like the fan
in the back is a standard enough part...in fact, there's room there for a
larger one, as the one installed isn't even as large as the grill opening. 
I'll try that though and see what happens.  Thanks for the tip.
