Do your monitors automatically sense the incoming signal, and switch to PAL or NTSC as appropriate? If so, is there an override in the monitor setup somewhere, to where you can force the monitor to PAL-B, PAL-G, or PAL-I? (Don't use PAL-N unless you have an 8365 TED.)
Do you have a standard monitor cable (8 pin DIN on computer end to 3 or 4 RCA plugs) to try in place of your S-Video cable? A 5-pin to 2 RCA plug cable, like one would use with the early C64s, would also work.
I understand your pain. I have 4 1551's, of which only one works correctly and that's on a 110 to 220 stepup transformer. Two of the others power up fine, then lock up when I try to do a disk operation. And one has NEVER worked, even when I swapped a 1541 transformer in.
