Picked up an A.P.B last night and it needs a monitor but I have no clue what should, or could go in it. Can you guys point me in the right direction? I want something reasonably priced but reliable.

Oh!! What do I need to look for in terms of a monitor chassis? Or should I get the tube first,then find a matching chassis?
You need a medium resolution monitor which puts you over the resonably priced category. They aren't real easy to find either. Keep your eyes peeled for a wells gardner 4915, 7615, 7635 or 7915
Are these what I need? If so I'm stocking up.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Standard (CGA) and Medium (EGA) resolution monitors are very similar. They are also usually part of the same "family". By family I mean WG made a few different K4900 monitor chassis. Most of them are standard resolution but the 4915 is medium resolution. There are other monitor families, or series, that are mostly std res with one med res.
My guess is the monitors he is selling are all standard res and will not work for this application.
I always wondered this too....My Apb has real bad burn-in from the high score table. I didn't really want to strip a Sprint or a Paperboy for a monitor....
I suggest finding a TV that is compatable.
as in a regular old television set?
