Phil,

If you want to find out the value of these monitors, take then to the dump.
Two weeks later someone will arrive and offer you a good price for them.
Trouble is that you HAVE TO get rid of them first.
It never happens the other way around.
Any way, that has been my experience.

About six months ago one of the lumber mills brought in a TTL monitor for
repair.
They already ordered a new one from the manufacturer at a cost of little
over $400.
The one I was repairing was going to be the spare.
Replaced the HOT and tested it on my old Radio Shack TSR-80 II. It worked!
The strange thing about this, is that I am almost positive, that I have seen
the same monitor being offered as surplus for $14 + S&H, in some magazine
some time ago.

Don't laugh.
In my monitor hey-day, I had dozens of refurbished monitors in stock. (I
cry when I remember I got 175.00 minimum for any 14" VGA I could fix up
to sell...10 years ago)
I still have a number of small (10-14") amber and green monitors with
the 9 pin connector. Some of the brother word processors can use them,
and I've sold a few for that, and some industrial equipement that uses
those for the display.
I still have some, as well as some CGA, EGA, RGB (has the round din plug
like old Tandy PCs used), NTSC,etc.
I have a list if needed. But is there any current needs for these oldies?
Now, be gentle... ;-)They all work good.
