A2 forever! > > Tim > tim@buffnet.net If you pushed on it to adjust it, you may have ruined it. It sounds like the old Apple Color 100 monitor. Looks like the Monitor //, with the tilt screen. But the screen tilts with a switch just to the right of the power switch. It has a motor that tilts the screen, and pushing on it can strip the gears out. Has a 15 pin connection on the back, and the power cord is not built-in, like the Monitor //'s was. Plugs right into the Apple ///, and you need a card for the Apple II. I have one somewhere..... I just picked up a Color Monitor 100 at a local Goodwill. I remember them from back in my Dealer days, and haven't seen one in quite a long time. Raymond
