do you think the monitors on this page are fairly priced?

Im thinking about interfacing it to a arcadevga by ultimarc.

If they are in Australia and your in the U.S forget it.  Shipping would kill you.

Seems a little steep.  Ask the guys at the monitor forum.  They'll be more informative.

well most of the chassis we use are generic and the tubes can be any brand we have... Samsung, Phillips ect....
If your after Kortek, Wells Gardner or other name brand types of chassis and tube they are very expensive new and all used ones are either worn out or have major problems by now.... not impossible to find in good nick but not easy either.... all cabinets we have with these monitors in them are in good nick so we don't usually part them.
The only NEW chassis and tube we have is all 29" and maybe next year we will have some 21" new, the brand is CMG.
Any other size and we use TV tubes and generic chassis which for all intents and purposes are the same thing arcade machines use.
