I have here an excess NEC MultiSync Color monitor
(model
JC-1401P3A) that
is very useful for the vintage microcomputer enthusiast. It
I have one of these myself. It works well, though I have trouble
getting it to connect to the monitor port of my Amiga 1000.
Haven't tried that in a while. Come to think about it, I ought
to see if it will attach to the Atari ST.

It syncs down to 15.5 khtz and should work. The problem is the 13 pin
connector for the ST. Most of the older Nec multisyncs will work, with the
exception of the 2A. I have details for making a switch-box but there are
several people supplying adaptors at a reasonable price, also ones for SVGA.
The 3D model is of course the holy grail of compatability, especialy for
Amigas. But the 1401, the original NEC Multisync, is a neat monitor for
collectors multi-purpose compatability. NEC has a good multisync page at

The real problem I've had with the 3D is that it wasn't made nearly as
well as earlier (and most later) monitors from NEC. Most every 3D I've
seen was either dead, or in really bad shape. Some of them could be
rebuilt.
I'm actually using an NEC 2A and a gs2A right now.
Speaking of all these old NEC monitors, does anyone know where I can get
the service manuals for the 2A/gs2A/3D/4D and a few others?
Wow, NEC finally put all that info back online? I was wondering if they
ever would...

After digging around on NEC's site some, it appears they have changed
their minds about offering manuals. I called them about a year ago and
they told me they were not going to sell them anymore (and they had pulled
the info from their website). I guess I'll have to call them again, and
see what their prices are like. They still don't list the gs2A manual, but
if I can get at least half of them, I'll be happier.
Maybe Phillips/Magnavox will get a clue sometime soon too...

In the UK, Mauritron list them, I think. Not cheap (about \pounds 20.00
each), and that's probably a photocopy.

Things have changed recently with Phillips/Magnavox. I called Magnavox
just a few weeks ago to order a couple service manuals, and they said they
no longer sell paper manuals. They told me they now only offer service
manuals on cdrom to "authorized repair centers"... Needless to say, I'm
not happy with Phillips/Magnavox at all now, and certainly won't be buying
anything *new* that has their brand on it.

Maybe I've been lucky, but I've found Philips service manuals and
parts to be some of the easiest of all to obtain. Mind you, that was
back when Philips actaully made most of the stuff with their name on. I even managed to get a service manual for a Philips
CD-ROM drive (the
only CD-ROM service manual I've ever seen).

Pioneer has manuals for all of their cdrom changers. I'm not sure if they
have them for single disc cdrom and dvd drives, but based on Pioneer's
attention to quality and serviceability, they probably do offer them.

I've tried to get NEC items serviced twice, once was a NEW Multispped
laptop and the other was a NEC Versa laptop. Both times service was by
independent shops (that didn't even seLl NEC!) and both times it was a
total fiasco! I'll think long and hard before I buy another NEC product!
