personally I love old monitors. This ones seems especially instersting being it has BNC
jacks.
I'd stick it in the closet, or in the yard inside 2 or 3 very sturdy plastic bags. If
Adrian gets his way, there won't be a single one left in the entire UK!

What's so interesting about BNC input sockets? Making adaptor cables from
BNC connectors to other types of connector is not normally difficult, and
to be honest doing sync separation (e.g. to use a separte-sync montor
with a sync-on-green computer) is a lot easier than converting scan rates
or something like that.

Can you expalin, please?

I like them. They hearken back to the days of the ultra powered engineering workstations
and such. Yes adding sync signals to the green (or any other) signal is very easy. Just a
resistor.
The truth is, I, even I, have never seen a *workstation* monitor that operated off
anything lower then ~48khz. They do exist, this I know. I began accumulating these things
in the mid 90's. Now finding a very early one would be a find. I won an auction and
part of it was for a big crt that operated off a TIPC. I declined to have it ship though.
How stupid was that?
