Hi;
I'd almost bet this is another dried-up electrolytic, I just can't seem
to find it! The perpetrator is an HP 98751a, aka Sony GDM-1952, (aka
Rasterops 19, Supermac etc), and it is a 5-BNC RGB fixed-frequency
monitor that does 1024x768 INTERLACED only. Given that, it has been a
great display anyway and I'd hate to throw it out.

Problem started a few weeks ago at turn-on. The screen seemed to be
traced fully and normally by one field, while the other scrunched up
away from the bottom-- so that I had two mouse-pointers spaced about an
inch apart ...

I saw problems like this in fixed frequency 19"/20" RGB Sony monitors
attached to IBM 5080/5085 CADCAM workstations. The problem was dried
out caps on a little daughter PCB hanging off the middle of one of the
main PCBs. Sorry, I can't be any more specific than that. BTW, when
was your monitor manufactured?
