Default Commodore 1084 monitor showing flyback / retrace lines.

Called prevenative maintanence, if the monitor is going into continual
service, the cost if the additional component is minimal with regard to is
probably failing in the future. FWIW, IMHO



Continual service? Of a Commodore monitor?

I've never heard of preventative replacement of semiconductors, capacitors
sure, lytics dry out, but semis don't automatically fail. By that logic, one
may as well replace the flyback, HOT, power supply chopper, heck the whole
monitor. If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it.
