I noticed this a couple of weeks back when I had turned the brightness up on my day to day 2600 which is a light sixer. It's hard to see from the picture below but there are faint vertical lines running through the screen, similar to the jailbar lines on a toploader nes but not as pronounced. I tried a couple of different power supplies to no effect. It happens also a bit on both my heavy sixer and sears heavy sixer. However I tried a junior and no lines at all.
My set up is an older sony vcr running to a commodore 1702. I have two 1702 monitors and both exhibit the same lines on the same systems. I've tried replacing video cables both inside the atari itself and the av cables running from the vcr to the monitor with no effect.
My question is - is this an RF issue or something else and if its something else what could it be? I asked on atariage and it seems no one else has ever seen this on Atari systems before and I apparently have at least 3 systems that show this bluish jailbar lines. Any input would be appreciated.
