[comp.sys.atari.st] Monochrome QUERY?

cs325ec@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (02/11/90)

	I am in desparate need of a monochrome monitor.  Can
	anyone recommend the cheapest place to mail order one
	or is anyone interested in selling theirs?

	Are there third party vendors that make a monitor that
	can be used on an atari with optional cable making?

	-Thanks.

Well, I can recommend a good place to buy one (for that matter, any Atari 
equipment).  It is the Computer Garden, phone 1-800-456-5689.  Bob (the 
owner), unpacks and tests every piece of Atari equipment he sells (he is a
registered Atari repair guy).  I have bought my entire system from him, and
I have never had a problem.  I think his price is about $150 for a mono, and
he aligns them if they need it before he sends them out.  He might have some
cheaper ones that don't meet his 100% spec.  It is comforting to know that if
any of my stuff breaks down, I can send it to HIM (not some unknown person) 
and get it fixed.  I am in no way connected with him or his store, other than
being a very satisfied customer.
