Some stuff I found on A-H that might help:
The door covering the front-panel controls is typically broken off.
The attached cables or connectors on some models tended to fail, causing loss of color or other problems. Resolder the pins. You can glue connectors in place to provide support.
Failed or insufficient insulation may cause arcing.
The power switch may partially fail, causing separate parts of the monitor to power down.
A phone caller suggested that internal connectors could tarnish with age, and disconnecting and cleaning them may help clear up some problems.
Repeatedly blown fuses can indicate a bad power supply.
A loud whistling noise indicates a bad flyback transformer (also known as an LOPT). Some 1084 monitors also have digital RGB (PC clone CGA) inputs, and there was such a profusion of minor or major variations that any 1084 might have any combination of analog RGB, digital RGB, and composite inputs.
