No, the 1084 was not a "C64" monitor (like the Commodore 1701 and 1702) but was aimed at and released during the Amiga era.
That's why they also have an analog RGB input on a Sub-D 9 pin plug:

The 1084 is equal to the Philips CM8833. I've got one of those. There were also other brands sold as the 1084. Stick to the Philips version I'd say, it's top-notch, I use it as my test monitor.

Ahhhh, yeah I was thinking you meant the C64 monitors. Thanks for clarifying :)

I don't know about the US, but in Canada they play Top Gear on Discovery Channel. Or at least, they did...I haven't seen it aired in a while. Though, I haven't had much time to watch the tube these days.

Looks like it's not needed, but for 10-30 bucks you should be able to pick up a Commodore 1084 monitor which is also 13" that could be transplanted in there. But it looks like the monitor is either fine or needs very little work.

Actually, these will run more like $50 - $120 for the monitor. Because they make great test rig monitors, they have been harder to get around here. I think I ended up getting one for $75 plus shipping a few months ago.

I just got a 1084S locally for $10. :laugh:
Man, I'm getting lucky with the finds these days!
I should go on a search for Jimmy Hoffa's body, or the Loch Ness monster at the rate I'm going...

I should start exporting these ! Wanna trade for some cabs ? ;)
I picked up two about 2 years ago, one cost me 15 euro, the other 10. That's about 20 and 15 bucks.
They seem to get a bit rarer here now, most of them are sold with an Amiga ;)

Top Gear is on BBC America here, many times a week. Dish Network (Big Satellite provider) is how I get it.
