Yeah, I just scrapped a non-working P133 machine the other day (32MB, 2GB disk)
and was reminded of a time when I would have been quite glad to have a machine
that fast.

I've never opened my GDM-1960 but I have a VRT19-DA that is fully adjustable if
you take the cover off.  Inside are full monitor controls and a mounted
screwdriver to adjust them!  It's probably worth looking for something similar
the GDM-1960.
