I looked up places that did video work, tape duplication, editing etc. They either have sent to e-waste all their NTSC gear or have not got around to doing it. If not, help them out :-). I got rack unit with 2 side by side Sony monitors for free. I gave the guy I was talking to $20 to buy the guy who took it out of the rack for me and for himself to get a beer. Also try your local TV stations. And if any independent news teams with a van. -pete On Tue, Aug 22, 2017 at 5:05 PM, Ed via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: yes stacked back in the back area behid other tonnage there are lots of these square cabinet monitors both color and B/W all various sized many names sony Panasonic jvc and more. Wish I had these when I had my apple... they were expensive, especially the color cube broadcast monitors. I could never bring myself to ever toss any of them. the stuff I used with the apple 2 I had were old b/w conrac monitors with tubes in them! I had other friends that had converted TV's so the TV would accept straight composite video thus giving a sharper image than stuff run though modulators. I need to match some of these up with some early video switchers for remote trucks for a display and a few to save for computers but at some point we will probably cut 20 or 30 them loose or so. ed# In a message dated 8/22/2017 4:23:13 P.M.

Possible sources include eBay, Craigslist, Goodwill, etc., as well as folks on lists like this one. I've been looking for an old Sanyo VM-4209 or VM-4509 monochrome monitor for a while, to put on my SOL-20. One of those would be Just Right for the SOL-20, as well as for an early Apple II series machine. The few I've seen have been in poor shape, yet listed for RARE L@@K STEVE JOBS prices. I recently found a younger monitor via Goodwill. It's about a decade too new to be Just Right for my SOL-20, but it at least has similar boxy styling to the monitor I'd really like. Newer monitors like that are a lot less rare, and still tend to have more reasonable prices. Something like that might suit your needs well. Now, you say you want a color monitor. I think that similar color CCTV monitors are even more commonly available. I haven't been paying close attention to them since I've been looking for a specific monochrome monitor, but I think I've seen various color ones bouncing off my brain's spam filters. I think that one of the small, boxy, color CRT CCTV monitors might look quite nice with your IIc. -- Mark J. Blair, NF6X <n...@nf6x.net> http://www.nf6x.net/
