Anyone need a dinosaur, err, NEC 3D monitor?

I had one and really enjoyed it, at work, back in the late 1980s.

Which modern VGA modes will it do?

Modern VGA modes??? :)

A whopping 800x600 NI or 1024x768 interlaced. :)

I just hate throwing stuff away that works.

That suggests it might be useful in the video industry. I wonder if a local TV station would want it. Or a video production outfit.

Or someone who works on arcade games?

Bingo! He should promote it to the arcade game repair community. It was the universal monitor of the mid-1980s, so it should work well with older games.

Now, if I could just get rid of 90+ SVGA monitors. :(

Good points. So, maybe I'll just stuff it in a corner of the attic and hope it grows in value. :)

Actually, I just checked and it doesn't do NTSC. Darn.

If you had a Repair Brief for it, I'm sure that would boost the value. "As seen in the sci.electronics.repair FAQ, maybe even Radio Electronics, the famous NEC 3D Monitor, that I wrote about finding at a garage sale for $3 and fixing it with a couple of parts".

Don't a lot of arcade monitors run in RGB at NTSC frequencies?

BTW, I have a stack of working Commodore 1702 monitors. If my church ever gets their act together, I'll "Loan" them the composite NTSC monitors for their effort to put their services on the local access channel.

BTW, did you ever fix that piece of equipment that I sent you the six pin plug for?

HeHeHe... I built the cable but have yet to fire it up. Not fixing the equipment but setting it up. It's still in the queue of things to do though. :)

You're getting to be as bad as me. I guess I'll have to take some pictures to show why a lot of projects didn't get finished.
