I'm looking for a CGA monitor for my 5160, in good/working condition. Trying here because I've about given up trying to source one from the usual channels.
Since the machine is IBM, I'd prefer the 5153, but I could also go for a CGA monitor with the same design, to preserve the look (Princeton's HX-12 is the only one I recall offhand).
Will pay a reasonable price, although I realize shipping won't be cheap. There was one on ebay recently that ended just south of €200, but the seller informed me that shipping would be €310... and that was from Italy, not exactly halfway across the planet. Wasn't expecting peanuts, but that's not my idea of reasonable.
That said: good protective packaging is vital with these fragile old things, so that part of it I will cover gladly. I'd rather pay a little extra than see another vintage monitor end up as a plastic jigsaw puzzle...
