What's the going rate for one these, these days?

I fix games for a business and I either get paid in money or free working/non-working machines - whichever I choose. I have a choice between a few different cabinets I can have right now, one of them being an Asteroids machine that works, but the tube is busted AFAIK, they said they turned it on and the monitor started leaking??? I'm not sure how that's possible so I'll probably take another look and maybe it's fine.

So, let's say the tube is busted/necked, what's the ballpark price for a used B/W vector monitor these days? Considering I'd be getting the game for free, even if it's pricer it probably wouldn't be such a hassle.
 
new tubes are available for the 15" & 19" b&w vectors - check ebay, complete non-working monitors were going for 100-150, maybe less or more since it's tough to ship and plenty were made so they aren't exactly rare
 
Wow, didn't expect THAT! New & plentiful. Huh. I guess color vectors threw me off? Also, makes me wonder why they don't bother with raster tubes, unless their stock is just really old.
