These are incompatible with Vintage Arcade game cabinets from the early 1980's. Stick with the original CRT's
 
No shit. Classic games look like ass on flat screens. Don't look right at all. Incompatible, yest but people do it anyway.

I wonder how huge of a kickstarter would be required to buy and operate old picture tube manufacturing equipment. Yeah, that's a pipe dream. Gets in car and drives to Colorado......
 
The university in my town has a surplus warehouse where they sell all sorts of stuff the university no longer needs for cheap. I've purchased a couple decent computers there for like $50. Literally boxes of VGA and power cables there, for like a buck apiece. You could look for something like that and see what they have.

How many you need? I'm sure I've got at least a dozen in my junk box...
Work's probably got a shitload if they haven't been thrown out yet. For some reason, Dell still ships VGA cables with most of their monitors even though everyone uses DVI / HDMI / Displayport now.
 
mono price is at 11701 6th St Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
They do have will call.
They do give a discounts if your going to buy that many.
 
You can find buckets of them for $1 at Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity. I pick through them for the nice ones to use for myself. A good VGA cable will look better than a cheep one. Recycle, save the planet, the power is yours, bla bla.
 
Hard to tell what the OP has there.... but they look like 1280x1024 monitors.... or many do...

If so, they aren't 4:3, they would be 5:4. If these are used on an arcade game, and sized to leave some unused screen at the top and bottom, then anything circular will not be circular.
