Sorry about the terminology Fail on my part. I was not aware that on forums, though not in general, "brand new in Box" infers sealed in the box never taken out, though to me, less than two months used, and in the original box, means new in box. Sorry about that. I'll adapt to the generally accepted meaning of this term.

You'd be happy if you paid $150.

I would view it as complete in box (asuming they didn't toss anything during the month they used it and put it all back in as they found it).
New means you are the first one opening the box and touching the contents since it left the factory. Anything else is just a level of completeness.
Would I pay $150 for an 840av in the box with low runtime, probably not since I have a working unit and used is good enough (cheaper too).

You remind me of that kid "Joey" in the movie "Hackers."
Design studio in Salem, eh? What place is this? I grew up on the North Shore, and my sister works in Salem...
The AppleVision 1710 is a very nice, crisp Trintron display. But 1710s have a known problem with the flyback transformer. I had two 1710s in my life. I bought one for $100 in 1999 from a warehouse in Danvers that also had a ton of Supermatch 21" displays at the time for the same price, but I really wanted that Trinitron bad. The other I "inherited" from an internship I did at Agfa in Wilmington, MA in 1998. Both eventually went south. I always thought the AppleVision/ColorSync 850AV would have been pretty sweet, too. I never had the AV version of the 1710. I did eventually get an AudioVision 14, so it's close enough (just not 17" and fixed at 640x480) that I don't really feel the need to chase down one of those enormous CRTs anymore.
Also, the AppleVision 1710 and the Quadra 840 are not contemporaries (and certainly aren't "matching"). The Quadra 840 was discontinued in July, 1994, and the AppleVision 1710 was introduced in August, 1995 more than a year later. If that design studio told you they were using the AppleVision displays with the Quadras, then they used the Quadras for more than a year before boxing them back up. The closest to "contemporary" 17" monitor would have been the Multiple Scan 17...
Peace,

So... Pics yet? How long is that camera going to be MIA before you send out CSAR teams to recover it?

So I have been playing with this thing (Sorry guys the camera is still missing, which sucks because that's like $250 misplaced.) What do I need to do to get the TV in working? It's got 7.6.1 with the AV extension and apple tv thingy, and monitors extension. What else do I need?

If you're talking about getting video input on screen, you should be good to go with Apple Video Player and the Apple Video Player extension (which you can grab from the 7.6.1 install). If you're talking about connecting the Mac to a TV to use the TV as a computer monitor, I believe you have to hold down Command (Apple), Option, and the letters T and V at startup.
