Someone is asking me for a particular oddball-brand 12" CRT monitor, for
one of those "word processors". I'm posting here, because I have one for
them but they want it cheaper than my price. (No, it's not CGA or VGA or
MGA etc.)
But this monitor is *amber* (yellow phosphor) and that's how I value it,
as a CRT part. If I have to buy such a CRT "cold", it's likely I'd have
to spend $75 to get it. It will likely fit a number of terminals or
vintage computers. (I know how to do that.)
So: does someone have a 12" amber CRT or monitor for sale? Then I can
offer this guy what he wants a little cheaper. and I'm curious, do my
vintage friends particularly *value* amber monitors (versus white and
common-enough green) anymore? Is it still a thing?
