ITEM 5.        OTHER EVENTS.

      On June 21, 2000, Enstar Income Program 1984-1 ("Enstar 1984"), together
with its affiliates Enstar Income Program IV-3, L.P., Enstar Income/Growth
Program Six-A, L.P., Enstar VII, Enstar VIII and Enstar X, Ltd., as sellers,
entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Multimedia Acquisition Corp.
(an affiliate of Gans Multimedia Partnership), as purchaser.  The purchase and
sale agreement provides for the purchaser to acquire the assets comprising
Enstar 1984's cable systems serving Snowhill, North Carolina and Brownsville,
Tennessee, as well as assets of the other sellers.

      The aggregate purchase price payable to the sellers pursuant to the
purchase agreement is $27,621,500 in cash (subject to normal closing
adjustments).  Of that amount, $13,691,119 (subject to closing adjustments) is
payable to Enstar 1984.  The purchase price for Enstar 1984 is approximately
$1,582 per customer, based on approximately 8,653 customers at March 31, 2000.
The allocation of the purchase price among each of the sellers was assigned by
the purchaser for each of the systems.

      Concurrently with the execution of the purchase agreement, the purchaser
deposited $1,800,000 into a deposit escrow fund to be applied toward the
purchase price at the closing.  At closing, $1,800,000 will be withheld from
the purchase price and will be held in escrow for a period of six months, to
secure the sellers' respective indemnification obligations under the purchase
agreement.  Following the six-month escrow period, any funds remaining that are
not subject to pending claims will be disbursed to the sellers on a pro rata
basis.

      The purchaser's obligation to acquire the cable systems is subject to
numerous closing conditions, including without limitation: (a) receipt of the
necessary governmental consents to transfer franchises covering an aggregate of
90% of the subscribers of all of the sellers; (b) receipt of certain other
material consents and approvals required for the consummation of the sale; (c)
receipt of the necessary approvals of the limited partners of each seller; and
(d) other standard closing conditions.  With respect to clause (c) above,
completion of the transaction is contingent on the limited partners of all six
selling partnerships voting to approve the sale.

      Pursuant to the purchase agreement, in the event that requisite consents
to the transfer of franchises covering fewer than 10% of the subscribers have
not been obtained by closing, the agreement provides that those franchises (and
the related assets) will be retained by the applicable seller until the
necessary consent is obtained, up to a maximum period of one year.  In such
event, at closing, the purchaser will withhold 20% of the amount of the
purchase price allocated to any such withheld franchise and assets and will pay
that amount to the applicable seller upon transfer of the franchise and assets.
If the necessary consent or approval is not obtained within one year from
closing, the franchise and related assets will nonetheless be transferred to
the purchaser, but the purchaser will not be required to pay the 20% of the
purchase price withheld pursuant to the agreement.

      Subsequent to the closing, Enstar 1984's corporate general partner
intends to make one or more distributions to the partners of the net proceeds
from the sale, after payment of all then existing obligations of the
partnership, in accordance with the partnership agreement.  Any additional
funds distributed to Enstar 1984 at the expiration of the escrow period will be
distributed at such time.

      On May 15, 2000, Enstar 1984 entered into an agreement to sell Enstar
1984's remaining cable systems serving Kershaw, South Carolina, in a separate
transaction to an unrelated purchaser.  Consummation of this sale is subject to
certain conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals.  If any of
the conditions have not been satisfied by July 31, 2000, Enstar 1984 or buyer
may terminate the agreement.  There can be no assurance that this proposed sale
will be consummated.
