Atari 1040ST / SC1224 Image size..?

[MaXKiLLz]

Is there no way to adjust the SC1224 monitor so there isn't such a large border around the desktop and games? I know there's a V.Size on the back, but there is no H.Size. Is there something inside the SC1224 case that I can adjust?

It's been a while but from what I remember there is an h-size pot on the board inside. At least on some models of the SC1224.

I believe I have the Goldstar version. I'll take the case off and take a look inside.

Yes. It's quite possible but isn't as good as you think it'll be. Also rumoured to put the monitor under strain.

 

You'll NEED a set of pot trimmer adjustment tools, or use wooden kebab skewers and fashion the end with a file. The proper trimmer tools are getting much harder to find with the demise of linear circuits and CRT displays.

 

You musn't do it with a screwdriver. Not only does it conduct and interfere with the magnetic field, but it'll destroy the trimmer as they often use graphite slugs.

 

Kebab skewer.

Hmmm. I'll just leave it alone.

Yes, I strongly recommend NOT USE any SCREWDRIVER. I killed those trimmers not so long ago... Now I have to open the case one day to repair

LOL and here's me thinking you are supposed to use proper non-conducting little screw drivers
