display got brighter but it's still not very good. Are
there any adjustments that can be made?
The problem you describe is consistant with low B+ going to the flyback
transformer which results in low brightness level, poor focus, and blooming when
the brightness and/or screen level is turned up. More than likely if this
monitor has been sitting around for awhile, the filter capacitors have gone to
mush. Sometimes they can be revived by leaving the monitor on for a long period
of time <over 24hrs> but, usually, they require replacement.

035- Where can I get a GS RGB monitor cable?
You can try a store selling Mac supplies and get a Mac 15 pin cable. I'm
using one right now where I needed a longer than standard cable

036- Can I replace my Apple II composite monitor with a
PC VGA monitor?
Yes; you can use a VGA-Box (or "V-Box"). It accepts 4 composite video
inputs (NTSC or PAL) and 1 VGA input. The output is VGA.
Briefly VGA-Box converts your Apple II video (from the RCA plug) to a 15-
pin VGA/SVGA output you can plug it into a modern PC monitor.
VGA Box is priced under $50. For a pic and ordering info, see

I was using an old monochrome monitor. Finally I can play all my games in
color once again!

037- My IIGS monitor works for about half an hour, then
the screen goes blank, and the power light goes out.
Pressing the power button has no effect.
Disconnect the monitor, remove the AC power cord, and open up the case.
Warning: High voltages are present! For case opening directions, safety tips,
and tool info, see Q&A 003-006 above.
The power supply has about five components one of which is a big white
ceramic resistor (3.3 ohms in the 110V colour monitor). You will probably find
that the solder connecting this resistor has crystallized.
