Monitors.
« on: April 09, 2010, 09:02:45 PM »
The guy (Allan from arcadeshoppen.dk) that i bought my monitors from can get all the ones you guys want!

He can get the following sizes:

19" - 20" - 21" - 25" and 29" in flat, and semi-flat (!!!)

If we team up like we did when we bought the cabs from Paul´s50 we can them even cheaper  :) :) :)

so, what do you guys say?

Michael courteously asked if I was OK if he posted this, and I said sure ! My goal is to help us to (the best available) CRT monitors. So far, only a couple of responses from my contacts. Chasing them again this weekend.

@jcp: There are lots of Commodore 1084 or the Philips CM8833 (equal) monitors around, these are ideal if you need that size (might be 13" or 14" but they're great for a cabaret or cocktail).
Another one you can use is the Atari SC1224.

The commodore 17xx and Atari SM monitors are not suitable.

Whatever the plan, I'm in for new monitors.

I got a mail from Allan (Arcadeshoppen.dk) following a simple question, and he seems to be a very kins & helpful person.

An "group order" with him seems to be a good option, but of course let's wait the reaction of all the members before ordering in a place or an other  ;)

André : thanks for the information, but I'm looking for an 14" Hantarex MTC 900E in order to put my Buggy Boy in his original setup. For the moment a Samsung monitor with polo pcb is in the place, at the right view of the Buggy Boy triple screen.

I just spoke to Allan, and he might be able to get 14" as well...

In order to get a better price, ha has to know how many monitors you guys want, so please write the number you would like :)
Of course nothing is ordered before we get a price.
Another thing is, that the monitors is shipped on a pallet, customized! (they don´t come in their own box :( )
so to be on the save side, pickup at Allans place is recommended.. - he lives close to the banish border :)

If there´s any questions, please ask :) - also i see if i can come up with some pics of the monitors :)

That would be nice. As mentioned in André's topic, I would be interested in 4 or 5, semi-flat of course, depending on the price. It would be nice to know which chassis comes with them.

where is the Banish border?  :D

If it would be the Danish border, than it still is quite a trip. no problem though, if we do it smart and don't go driving individually to pick up monitors. This should be done centralized, for instance for all dutch (or Dutch and Belgian) buyers. Something like that. It will save time and costs.

Well, Michael, if you can have 14" Hantarex, I'm ok for 2 (or 3, if the price is good).
About the Banish border, I'm far away ... but maybe we can find a solution later.

And Erik's reply: +1  :D.

What do you mean with the chassis being upgraded?

Just to know, is there some indication of the price?
