$245 to $295 is way above this old mans pay grade. While there I looked for touch screen monitors, but those I could afford were tapped out, and most were much lower resolution than the 23" Samsung digital tv with a blown tuner I'm using now. Its main prob is I need to open it up and replace some electrolytics in the lamp psu, its a ccfl backlight and takes several minutes to get to full, almost usable brightness. Made in 2007 or so, its the right age to be full of bad caps. Next time I'm in Bridgeport, I'll hit Big Lots and see if they have anything usable. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Gene Heskett [mailto:ghesk...@shentel.net] > > Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2018 12:39 PM > > To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Possibly useful keyboards > > > > On Tuesday 31 July 2018 09:40:24 andy pugh wrote: > > > https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Denford-CNC-tutor- > > > > panels/323324414862?hash= > > > > >item4b47a30b8e:g:geAAAOSwKb1bN1hG > > > > Only 1 and not working. > > > > But a much bigger monitor/touch-screen could be handy around the > > mill.
