I compiled this info a while ago from an HP source plus bits and pieces I picked up. There are frequent questions about the monitors (esp. frequency) so maybe this, or part of it, could go in the FAQ. (I've mailed this out many times already, it would be easier to just refer people to the FAQ.) Anyway, here it is, do what you like with it: Colour Apollo monitors. Colour Apollo monitors.

Screen wrap problem or the horizontal width has grown too large and the screen appears to be wrapping back around on itself. Replace C205 and C206 on deflection board, 10 ufd/50V, electrolytic caps. (Actually only one of these is causing the problem, but I'm too lazy--change both) Cost: $0.12 per cap. 2. Screen is shrinking from both sides. Change C161, 100 ufd/63V, electrolytic cap near bottom right of deflection board. Cost: $1.00. 3. Characters seem to be wiggling or vibrating. Change C101, 10 ufd/50V, electrolytic cap, upper left quarter of deflection board. Cost: $0.12. 4. On all white displays or on white backgrounds there appear bright horizontal streaks. Replaced C315, 100 ufd/25V, electrolytic cap, just below C101. Cost: $0.75. 5. Top of display appears to losing a few lines of text sort of gradually getting darker on top few lines. Replace C318, 4.7 ufd/100V, electro- lytic cap located left center on deflection board. Cost: $1.00. 6. Display is too large vertically and cannot adjust in. Replace C310, 0.01 ufd/63V, P.S. cap, aluminum colored just above IC301. 7. If the display is too dim and after adjusting brightness it is out- of-focus, you can try the focus adjustment, but if that doesn't really work well enough you will need to replace the CRT. This is not that difficult, takes about 45 minutes, costs: $125.00. I use the on-line diagnostic "/systest/grtest" to perform focus adjustments. Just enter ad (adjustments) at the grtest prompt and select test 13. Save all of the magnets from any scrapped monitor yokes, you'll need them to adjust display geometry with the new CRT's. 8. Also save your old flyback transformers on any scrapped displays, flybacks cause several different problems: Squeals no picture and a 'jittery' display are both flyback problems. The key to flyback jitter is when the display shrinks or jerks both top, bottom and both sides simutaneously. Another flyback problem is a slow expansion and contraction of the display, some of my customers tell me that it's 'breathing'. 9. As far as adjusting focus goes, the pot labeled 'DYN FOC HOR' adjusts the focus on the far right and left side of the screen. It also balances the focus between these sides, so be sure to check both left and right sides when adjusting this pot. The pot labeled 'DYN FOC VERT' just adjusts the focus for the top and bottom of the display. I usually can't get perfect focus on the very top of the display, especially at this site where the brightness has to be turned up especially high. If no matter what you do with the focus pots does not work, you might try playing with the 'focus phase' adj. Focus phase is controlled by the coil with the adjustable core in the center of the board. The way I play with it is to turn the main focus pot, R431, to midrange and do the same for the two dynamic focus pots. I then adjust focus phase for good focus in the center of the display, then go through the normal focus adjustments, i.e. turn R431 for best focus overall then adjust dynamic for sides and top and bottom. All of these tips apply only for the 8399-XXX series of monitors. EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON MONITORS, THE MONO MONITOR HAS 18KV GOING TO THE CRT. Let your techs show you the ropes on monitor repairs, if you're going to be messing around with any live equipment. Be especially careful when doing focus adjustments, aside from personal risk you can smoke your board. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Tony Mazzi Subject: Re: Dim monitors? Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1998 13:31:02 -0700 Shipping Research Services AS wrote: Any way to pump up the brightness on old mono monitors? Modell no. 008399 from 1989... Franklin, Let's assume first that you do NOT have a CRT analyzer/rejuvenator. Remove the rear housing of the 008399 monitor and then the grill above the monitor's internal electronics. Once the electronics have been exposed, and from the position of facing the front of the CRT, you will make adjustments to some "pots" on the board on the right-hand side. One pot will be labelled "brightness" and the other "focus". These should be the only two you need to fool with to adjust brightness and focus to acceptable levels. PROCEDURE: First, turn power to the monitor, have it attached to a source (ex: DN4500) and allow it to warm up for about 30 minutes prior to any adjustments... this way the unit has heat+capacitance stabilized. Start with the brightness pot and adjust the CRT until you have an agreeable level of brightness. At this point, you may find that the picture is out of focus... we call it "blooming". You will need to adjust focus until the image has sharpened to an acceptable level. Assuming you can NOT bring the focus to an acceptable level, you need to then back-off on the brightness until the image has sharpened to what you desire. If when doing these two adjustments, you find that you can not get both focus and brightness to levels you desire... you then need a CRT analyzer/rejuvenator to determine first if the CRT still has useful life and secondly to rejuvenate it to attain that additional life. Once rejuvenated... follow the previously mentioned steps to attain agreeable focus/brightness. Good Luck!

Leonard Very happily typing this on one of the 68Hz monitors... From: chrisp@doe.carleton.ca (Christopher A. Pawlowicz) Subject: PC VGA to Apollo monitor Date: Fri, 10 Feb 1995 15:18:38 GMT Hi. A while ago I asked if it was possible to use an old Apollo Monitor with my PC. I got some responses and checked around various FAQs and finally got some monitors to work. Here is what I did for your reading pleasure :) The monitors are Apollo Colour monitors 1024x800. Serial numbers are 7248 and 8398 for 15" and 19" size. One of the FAQs around (comp.sys.apollo FAQ) mentioned some files available via anonymous FTP from ftp.wfu.edu/usenet/apollo/doc/monitor-sync.ps monitor-info.txt or something like that The info file has all the specs on various monitors The postscript file has a circuit diagram which is sort of correct but has lots of pin numbers wrong and a wrong explanation. This is what I did to get the monitors to work: On my cheapo Trident 1 meg SVGA card, I looked through the manual and saw that running at 1024x768 used a frequency of 48.7kHz horizontal and 60 Hz vertical sync. I set the jumpers accordingly and set up my windows display to 1024x768-256 colours. Note that the monitors will only work at high res so you can't use DOS. What I am going to do is use a herc mono monitor/card as well and look at this if I ever need to use DOS. Or hell, just get OS/2. This was similar to the required (from the info file) frequencies of 50.2 kHz Horiz and 47-80 Hz vert sync needed by the Apollo. I made a cable that takes the VGA connector and turns it into three Coax connectors for the RGB inputs on the monitor. Note: the circuit diagram has wrong pin numbers at the ftp site! (this screwed me up for a while so that's why I mention it) pins VGA card RGB monitor 1 Red 2 Green 3 Blue 13 Hsync to circuit 14 Vsync to circuit Now, you take the syncs and put them into a 7402, which ORs them and INVERTS them. Inputs are pins 2 and 3 and output (SYNC) is pin 1. Output from the 7402 goes to a 4066 (analog gate) pin 5. One side of the gate goes to a pot between +5 and GND and the other side goes to the GREEN. (pins 4 and 3) What seems to happen is this: when there is NO sync (V or H) then the 4066 is ON and +5V (around) gets forced onto the GREEN which raises the voltage level of the Green signal. When there IS a sync, the 4066 is closed, and the GREEN signal drops back down to GND (because this is where it was going to be anyway). No voltage is forced onto the green line at this time. Here is a picture (sort of) of what the signals look like VGA __ 4 v || -----||--- 0 v H sync and V sync video 0.5V ||||||| ||||||| __ __|||||||__ __ 0.1V | | | | |_| |_| 0 V red,green,blue APOLLO video 1.0V ||||||| ||||||| __ __|||||||__ __ 0.7V | | | | |_| |_| 0 V green only, red and blue leave straight from VGA NOTE: the voltage levels. The circuit boosts the VGA signal up so that there is a difference of 0.7v in the sync pulses. PROBLEMS: The picture looks great and seems to work fine. On the smaller monitor though the screen had a bit of wrap but I'm sure this could be solved by opening up the monitor and fiddling a pot or two. In windows when I suddenly close a window, there seems to be a green tinge that fades quickly on the screen.. maybe because I am driving the green a little bit harder. It is not a (visual) problem though. Hope this is some use. Perhaps someone wants to add this to the local FAQ ? In the FAQ someone mentioned they had gotten the higher res monitors to work as well (serial number 10700, 19", 1280x1024) using the same method. If anyone wants any help feel free to email me.

The cable will have a 9 pin female "D" connector with pin 5 connecting to the centre pin of a BNC connector at the other end. The 9 pin connector housing will connect to the housing of the BNC to make the shield (ground) return. Most video cable for monitors is 75 ohm coaxial and I have no way of confirming that this is true for this case.
