$100? Is that actually a Trinitron? Boggles the mind.

Hi to all,
Hi Kf4rca, Respectfully, i think your memory is playing tricks; 100$ for even an institutional-grade monitor, no way, or maybe second hand or the company going broke and having a sellout. One hundred bucks is not even the price of a 12" color CRT not counting Sony-quality innards. Working 15 years for Ampex in France, 90% of VTRs & studio equipment was sold with the Tektronix 650/651/652/653 Series with Sony Trinitron tubes, later Trinitron HR. From memory, 6K$ to 8K$ apiece depending on model. Close-by Barco of Belgium had a small screen monitor, TM-22 series if i recall correctly. Worked OK, however their larger 22" monitors were very fragile: forget to connect Sync or a composite input, the H oscillator would drift & fry the LOPT/EHT transformer pronto! I still have a Conrac 12" SECAM monitor with a Trinitron tube. Was a Lab writeoff and i totally rebuilt the H power section, worked nicely afterwards. Best Regards jhalphen Paris/France

OK, maybe it was $149.95. But not a penny more!
The station had some 14" Ball-Miratel monitors with the slide-out drawer on the right hand side. Seventies vintage. I think they were American made. They disappeared one day and I never saw them again. Guess someone else got them.
