Don't suppose anyone makes a cap kit for a Commodore Amiga 1084 monitor do they?
 
I think somebody does. Just do a google search for cap kit or something like it. I found a site awhile ago that sold kit for alot of different monitors, LCD, and tv's. I just don't remember what I put in the google search box though. I know I had to go the a couple 10 pages though. It wasn't at the beginning. That's the suck part.
 
The problem with the 1084 is that there are like six different versions and sub-versions of it. Some have different inputs, others are completely different inside, made by a different manufacturer.

It would be easier and faster to just look at the monitor you have, and buy the caps to match, as there is going to be a lot of variations between 1084's.

I put one together for the Commodore 1702 monitors at one point but never for the 1084. There were so many different model Commodore 1084 monitors it might be hard to do one that fit them all.

Still have it? :)
 
I probably have the cap list if that is what you are asking for. In fact I think I posted it here on the forums at one point.

Well that's a pain to pull the chassis out and have it taking up space on the bench for weeks to order the right caps. Not even sure that, that's the problem with the monitor. Shotgun cap kits are great cause you just pull it, put them in, throw the monitor back in and your done.
Looks like that's what I'll have to do though. Maybe I need a longer bench?
 
Rounded corner ones with a smaller flip open control area with ivory colored "disc" controls (going from memory here of my old Commodore days) were Philips made, and had a superior Philips clone (Model 883?). While the hard square edge corner ones with typical long black pot controllers were Daewoo made (and also sold identically with a different model # under the Magnavox brand at stores like LaBelle's/BestProducts and Service Merchandise). This was just before Philips purchased Magnavox.

Totally different components and connectors inside depending on the build. This extended to other models, but most were made by Philips, only later did more get sourced to Daewoo.
 
Well the Dragons' Lair NTSC encoder (in a DL cabinet) has a single line that I mistakenly reversed and apparently delivered a feedback shock to a dvd player. I then hooked up the dvd player to my Amiga 1084. Ever since I've had these lines on the monitor.

Wow that is funky! I'd check over the neck board first...but it almost appears like voltage is bleeding into the video signal from somewhere. There should be the video wires (red, grn, blue) from the main board to the neck board, look over the schem where those wires connect to the mainboard and see if there's any caps on them or near them. Could be a bad chip too.

Wow, I had forgotten how killer the graphics were on the Amiga! ;)
