(1) - yes absolutely
(2) - no, the plastics crack on these
(3) - only if you can get it for 150 $ or less
(4) - other ...

1280x1024@75 Hrz is decent for a CRT.

People have preferences and I stick to Sony Trinitrons but have shadow mask monitors as well.

Do you really want it at the price and condition available is a question only you can decide.

(3) but go even lower.

(3) pending 1) space to put it and 2) that includes the cost of shipping.

I can pick it up. Around 100 km one way.

 

[finkmac]

not the worst, but better if you pick up other stuff on the same trip

If working well you can assume it had the recall parts put in many years ago. Very big and hard to store on a shelf if not used (I’ve one merged from two bad; it sits on a removalist dolly when not used)

My vote is (1) yes absolutely.

Well, I’ve had three of these/ the ColorSync fail on me, and that was starting maybe 15 years ago. If you are good with a soldering iron, maybe; if not, I’d pass — having said which, the CRT is excellent, if and when it works.

Tape it to your head and walk around using it as a VR headset and tell people it’s the original AppleVision prototype!

I'd do it if I were able to...always loved those monitors!

Better than the 850AV

When I arrived at University in 1995 (Bristol, UK) with my trusty PowerBook 100, there was a guy 3 doors down in the hall of residence, US student, whose dad was the president of the world bank. He rocked up with a brand new PowerMac 8600/250 with this display (or it may have been the earlier version badged 1710AV). Twas a thing of beauty, we used to gather in his room every night to play with it.
