  I recently acquired an Atari 1040f from a friend. It
came with the SC1224 
 color monitor which, for some reason gives off a really awful high pitched 
 sound. Does anyone have some idea why this might happen? It scares my cat.
                      Thanks.

It's usually a good sign that the monitor is about to die. You should here 
how an SC1224 sounds when the rear of the tube has been snapped off at the 
guns due to bad packaging and careless postal shipping and you unsuspectingly 
plug it in and power it up.  Heeyyy, ya need some parts? ;-)
