The very last of the Australian made woodbox stereo philips 68cm "flat screen" TV's had Scart connectors and also worked as excellent, large screen amiga monitors ;) Those things can be reparied by backyard banana's and last forever.

The probable reason he wants to repair it is simple.
Most new monitors won't sync to the horizontal and vertical frequencies used
by the Amiga computers.
Also the 1084 uses a SCART connector instead of the usual 15 pin D connector
used on most other monitors.
The 1084S version also has in-built speakers.
The only non-Amiga monitor I've successfully got to work with an Amiga is an
NEC Multisync II, although there are probably others that will as well.

Cheers,
Alan

An Amiga 1084, what is that the date of Manufacture or what. Crikey, you might get more for it sending it to a Museum

Does anyone know of someone who might be able to fix one of these in Melbourne? I opened mine up to resolder one of the connectors, and now it's powering up but wont display any sort of image, but I'm fairly sure it's salvagable an I'd hate to throw it out.
