Hello everyone, this was the first forum I found. I am an amp guy from NH, and just aquired alot of old CRT's new in the box. I was told not to chuck them as some go to the old vidio games and are worth alot of money. could anyone point me to a place to get fair market value for them if indead some of these are valuble. If anyone wants to call also, my cell#is 603-xxx-xxxx
Thanks for your time and consideration,
Dan

Well, I don't have the slightest idea, but it would be an idea to post some more info about the monitors like brand, type and such.
I bet someone here can do something with that info. :)

It would depend on the monitor.  Also, remember that with age comes degradation; some of those monitors would require work, even though they're NIB!  Electrolytic caps dry out.  They would likely all need replacing.

XY monitors are worth decent $$ because they don't make them anymore.  Anything else would just be raster monitors.  Post what you got.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, especially when you don't really know what you have.

Ebay 'em baby... Ebay 'em...   

Some joker out there may know what to do with them...

Sell 'em off and use the money to buy yourself a brand new arcade monitor for your project...

Just a suggestion... :dunno

It would only cost a buck or two to put them up onto Ebay as a lot.  Just describe them accurately.  It's worth the chance just to not have to pay the CRT recycling fee wherever you are.

Some of those are for test equipment (oscilloscopes), electronic dart game (9" monitors). None are for commercial arcade monitors. Whoever told you they were is full of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.
