Brand new 19" CRT monitors, all raise hands who are interested....

[level42]

I'm looking into options of doing a bulk-buy of 19" CRT monitors. We all know that the CRT is running on it's last (production) legs, and I have a feeling it's about time to stock up on some of them for our games.

I would like to see about how many people would be willing to participate and buy at least a couple of them. Don't ask for prices just yet, but the goal is to be around the prices you see in the US (190 dollars, so let's say about 150 Euro's.

So, post here or PM if you're interested and how many.

That' a good idea. Depending the price, I would be up for 4 or 5

This better not be an 1 April fools joke!! 

If not, and just to be sure, I suppose that you are talking about CGA monitors, with chassis?

If so, if the price you mentioned is approximately correct, count me in for 5 pieces.

[Superully]

i'd also be in for 4 - 5 pieces - depending on the price!

[atarimania]

Hi,
I'm also interesting in 4-5 units

[level42]

OK I'm chasing...(not his one was NOT an april's fool !).

Wish me luck !

[ckong]

Good luck.

Is it easy to install the monitor in a ms pac man cab?

[liquidx]

I'd take the same amount also.

OK, I put out a shit-load of e-mails to companies I even "just" think they "might" still have them, or maybe have leads to them. Of course the mailing went out just before the Easter weekend so I'm expecting most responses next week.

The thing is that I want to be as close to the source (i.e.China, Korea) as possible, else prices won't be very interesting I guess.

I'll post any responses here for you guys to keep track. Here's the first:

Hello,
I’m sorry, our 20” CRT’s are obsolete.  Thank you for inquiring.

Hmmm, that message is not a good sign man

(OT: Andrè, i was waiting for a file from you, did you forget it  ?)

[level42]

Sorry forgot about the file, I need to hook up the extra HD....will do in a couple of moments.


Side note: Found a European source for Hantarex replacement chassis. Fully compatible with tube and harness. The bad news is that the price is on the high side. WAY more than the Chinese stuff we've seen, but let's assume quality is better.

If anyone interested, PM me.
