open up your old monitor and check for bulging/leaky caps had to fix my gf's one a few months ago, google the model number of the PSU board and you can get a kit of caps on ebay for a few bucks

assuming it's not an apple cinema display then opening it up oughtn't to be that hard monitors are still relatively serviceable.

hmm it's not explicitly stated but maybequote:SuperMac, was working on a NuBus-based video digitizer called VideoSpigot and their own codec, which they called Cinepak. The board came with a program called ScreenPlay that was used to capture video and play it back. SuperMac wanted to give their customers a program to do some simple editing, in addition to capturing and playing back video. Randy Ubellios, who worked for SuperMac at that time, wrote a program called ReelTime for use with files created by ScreenPlay and VideoSpigot. ReelTime did not control the digitizer but it could take files created by ScreenPlay and could do cuts and transitions and put them together, display the result, and write it to disk. ReelTime was meant to be bundled with the VideoSpigot, but SuperMac was a hardware company. They needed their customers to have a program like this, but they didn't need to be the ones to sell and maintain it. There were lots of potential buyers for ReelTime, but it ended up selling to Adobe and becoming their first video software product. It was renamed Adobe Premiere, and was bundled with the VideoSpigot and available alone starting at the end of 1991.
