Our TVI 950s sometime expose the same problem, and the solution is probably the oldest way of repairing delicate instruments: HIT IT! HARD!! At least, that seems to work in our case. By the way, the noise is caused by the deflection transformer. You could try to take that thing out of the terminal, but this is likely to produce disappointing results (your screen would by reduced to a single dot :-) As an aside, if you want to hear some more noise from your TVI 950, tune your FM reciever at 95.5Mhz (yep, that's where my favourite station is :-( ) and you'll find a nice clean channel which disappears when you turn your terminal off...... -- Jack Jansen, {seismo|philabs|decvax}!mcvax!vu44!jack or ...!vu44!htsa!jack
