Interesting - I've seen the same problem - Cabaret Battlezone, sometimes
the screen is "squished" vertically by about 1/4, jumping back and forth
between "squished" mode and "normal" mode every few minutes. A few weeks
ago, I was the one who reported a faint arcing sound in the monitor after
powerdown of the game. It's possible Al and I have essentially the same
problem.

Later,
Doug.
