We have a 3130 monitor which appears to have a blown power supply.
Silicon Graphics has quoted us a figure of $1900.00 to fix the monitor.
Does any body know of a third party monitor which would be appropriate
for the box, and might sell for less. If not, does anybody have a used
monitor which they would be willing to part with.

I don't know for sure if it will work, but in theory you should be able to use one of the new higher resolution (1024x768) multiple scan rate monitors made for PCs (NEC, Mitsubishi, and others make these). I have seen these in in 13 and 19 inch sizes. You can probably find a local computer store that will let you try one and return it if it doesn't work. You might have to make your own cable, since these usually come with an IBM PC "VGA" type 15 pin connector; some also have the "normal" BNC connectors. Mike Goss Merit Technology Inc.

Get in touch with Hitachi in New Jersey, they (at least used to be) the guys that ultimately fix the monitors. You can save a bundle by dealing direct.
