Post by: kjoel0123 on July 29, 2007, 11:09:29 am

Loooking for a free 19" arcade monitor that works. Bad screen burn  and scratched is fine by me. Just need for testing purposes. So if you are going to toss your old working unit then send me an email

Prefer pickup in NY area

I have an old commodore monitor that i use for testing. It might be a little easier to find and cheaper.

I love those C64 monitors... they're getting really hard to find now.  I have one I rescued from the recycling station, but the chassis mobo had been so badly hacked by someone in the past, I'm having real trouble making it reliable again.

They were not C64 monitors....the C64 (and other computers of that era like the Atari 8-bit series) put out Composite video. The 1084 were used during the Atari ST and Amiga period, those put out RGB :D

Almost all 1084's were Philips (Magnavox) by the way...

Shame no-one seems to remember the Atari SC1224 (Goldstar edition, not the Samsung). MUCH better picture, really dark tube (that was new then)....
