Thanks all! Yea I wish they were all like that too. I've been finding monitors everyday for the last week, half with cords on half off. I'm up to 9 for the week. found 2 more today.
Early 90's monitors like that weight 75+ lbs each, how much did the tube itself weigh?

I'm not sure on that one, I know it was freakin heavy! I almost dropped a nut when I first grabbed it.
My 20" Supermac STD-9790 (GDM-1950 Sony rebadged CRT) is over 75Lbs and it will stay in my basement forever (was a pain to get down there and I won't move it again). Probably the same deal for my early 1990's Savin full size copier (very heavy). Hopefully when I am done with it a local scrapper will want them and come get them. Both of those items needed 2 people to move.
Come to think of it my parents are using an old Sylvania Superset color TV (solid wood cabinet, used tubes in the controller) as a table for their 32" LCD TV. I wonder if the electronics inside are worth much for scrap (I was thinking of gutting it and making the screen area into a cabinet).
there's a ham radio forum that is said to be a good place to go with tubes, I've seen it discussed several times on SMF.
I have a 21" Dell CRT That came with a lot of computers I purchased in 03-04ish, and it was old then ( and heavy) When I first saw it I thought what in hek will i do with this monster! Well, I took it home (lived in Nashville then) and used it myself, and when moving to OK brought it along, where it went into a storage ( on top of a 6 foot shelf) until i got the move made and the house ready, and I'm still using it today.
