The monitors have not sold locally, so I'll make them available to a wider audience. I'll be willing to ship them. I have some ideas for how to do this safely, ranging from letting the UPS store do 100% of the packing, to building a plywood crate around the monitor, or building something like a wooden floor + a wooden back-plate to protect the neck of the tube, then sticking the whole thing in a box. Either way, if someone chooses the buy the monitor, then we can discuss shipping options. Shipping costs are at the buyer's expense.

Someone mailed one to me 16 years ago, and I have NO idea how it made it intact, but I don't wish to repeat that.

They have been sitting for over 10 years, and could probably benefit from a cap-kit at this point, but still, they are beautiful displays and you will not be disappointed.

I had relocated the 6 transistors off of the chassis onto separate heat sinks back in the day when I was concerned with heat build up. The transistors are no longer wired up, and you would need to solder the wires to the sockets and connect the wires to the red AMP connectors that go to the deflection board. The monitor worked perfectly last time it was powered up, but that was a few years ago. I have new transistors, new sockets (original sockets, too), and they just need to be soldered together.
