WTB: IBM 8515-021 VGA/XGA CRT Monitor

[Madrobby]

Hi, I’ve started to collect some PS/2 systems a while ago and I’m looking for the right monitor to go with them. I’m looking for a fully working monitor that doesn’t need any work done (except for any cleaning and dusting). I’m vary of shipping (I lost two other monitors from eBay courtesy of bad packing jobs and rough handling...), so if it’s something I could pick up in eastern PA or in NJ that would be ideal.

I’m unsure what these go for, but I can definitely pay a fair value, please PM me.

If you have a similar monitor, I’d love to hear about it as well, IBM had a whole bunch of early 90s VGA-ish monitors and I’m interested in all of them.

Thanks!

I recycled a stack of 8515’s a couple years ago, will have to check what IBM crts I have left

I've had good luck with UPS's monitor shipping. It's an extra $70, but they spray foam around the monitor to protect it. I've shipped two EGA monitors that way. Note that the package is only insured for about $100 if memory serves.

Thanks for this tip. I had one seller do UPS the packaging, and apparently they did two layers of really fat bubble wrap and a monitor protection plastic sheet and all arrived well.
