2 Setchell Carlson multi-input monitors; worth keeping?
I'll make it short: As of now, I no longer have space to store any more sets, and I need to start thining out my "collection" mainly because we'll be moving in less than 3 years, so its best I start lightening the load of future work now.
I picked up 2 Setchell Carlson tube-based (did they even reach the SS age?) monitors about 3 weeks ago, and have since been sitting in the garage. I havent had a chance to look about inside, but peering through the vents, things look relatively clean. I dont know any model #s or tech specs yet, so bare with me as I try to describe the two. One is slightly smaller in size than the other, with only one input in the back, and a few controls on the front (maybe 17" diag?). The other one is a bit more substantial, with big thick handles on each side, im guessing a 23" diag screen (with relatively large cataract), and an absolute wealth of control options on the front, and many, many more behind it's front pannel, and several inputs on the back. I'm just wondering whether or not they need to take a trip back to the dump, or if they're worth selling, as I have tried hard to think of a way I could use them, and nothing is coming up So AK members, you decide: have I found a win from the bin, or a toss without a loss? |

I wish I had one of these...had to pass up one at a TV station garage sale when I was younger, dad would only let me load up so much in the van.
They should be b/w sets and give very good picture performance...you can hook them up directly to video games, DVD player, etc. I don't think they have any monetary value, but should be excellent from a performance/durability standpoint. |

They're actually both color, but missing each power cord
I'll try to get atleast one of them up on the variac this weekend, so I shall report back soon |

My short answer would be, if they are color they are worth saving. Do you know what the picture tube numbers are? If the crts are good maybe they could be salvaged for something else.
