here's what NOS med-res monitors look like ...
« on: May 07, 2012, 10:08:06 PM »
my austrian arcade-friend alex found a guy who had four unused (but unboxed) NOS med-res monitors sitting on a shelf in his warehouse. those med-res monitors are damn rare, but not only that, they were DAMN CHEAP!!! we decided to split both the monitors and the costs amongst the two of us and guess how much i paid ... 160 euros - for the pair!!!

here's some photos alex just sent me :arrow:











:spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

nice haul - given how rare these are going to be in a few years its a good idea to a stock up on them anyway, but NOS? Thats awesome!
