In desparate need of a flyback for 1084S-D1! Please HELP!

There was no official support from Commodore International in Poland until 1991 and even after that the support was weak. Most people here imported things from Germany.

Gołąbki!

I don't eat them. I am a vegetarian.

Nobody's perfect!

OK, let's hope I'll get lucky and will be able to buy a new monitor.

I'll post some low-quality pics of my little retro corner if I get a new monitor for it. Even if nobody wants to see them.

You might also look for older Daewoo, Philips or Magnavox monitors that have the proper inputs. In the PC world they were called CGA monitors.  These are the same monitors that Commodore put their name on and you might find them cheaper. Also look for old multisync monitors. For years I used an NEC multisync that had all the correct connectors and worked great with my Amigas. Make sure any multisync you look at has a freq range of 15Khz-31KHZ at least. Many don't go down to the 15K that you may require.

Well there's your problem.  A meateater could find a working 1084-s flyback generator.

What?  I'm just sayin'.

I found one on the footpath on hard rubbish collection day, along with a MINT A500, box, mouse, power supply and manuals.

I've thrown away no less than 5 108x monitors over the past few months due to various small issues.  I just don't find them worthwhile.

Next time, please throw one to me.

So... what's a flyback?

This...

[TakeShad]

Yeah, that's quite a representation.

BTW... as for multisyncs I'd forgotten I also had a Mitsubishi AUM1381, that worked well with Amigas http://abcresellers.com/store/product201.html. You might ad similar models to your search.

Now you're just rubbing salt in the guy's wound.

Plaz, Im' very grateful for all of those alternative monitors suggestions but I'm afraid all those models are even harder to come by in Poland than the 1084S itself.

Next time, let me know and I'll come pick them up and give you Gołąbki! I could at least scavenge a power supply as a spare.

Be sure to secure one flyback for me.

I've found a guy who has Philips CM11342/00G for sale but... The monitor seems to have strange inputs.

I don't see Chroma and RGB seems to be modified in a way that won't allow a standard 9-pin RGB cable to be connected...



EDIT: OK, the RGB input is normal. Just the cable is weird, with only one screw. Still, the lack of chroma bothers me since I have a LCA cable for my C64.

What do you guys think about this? Should I buy this monitor?
