https://www.lemonsauctioneers.com/lotimages/klein07-14-08/58.JPG $16 Another awesome lot.
https://www.lemonsauctioneers.com/lotimages/klein07-14-08/72.JPG $9 (some Macs in there)
https://www.lemonsauctioneers.com/lotimages/klein07-14-08/42.JPG $14 (some nice Apple CRTs there. The other CRTs go to Goodwill.)
I'm also planning on bidding some large lots from Humble ISD in the next few days.

I love CRT's, only if I had the room and cooling for them.

Man I wish I lived near a decent computer auctioneer.

I would hate to get a pallet just for a couple items (since I don't resell). Prices seem cheap, if you have some storage to keep them a while.
Unless its a pallet of mac IIs or 950's.

Is that a Kensingon System Saver that I see with the A2E? Ugly-looking thing, but I began to see it as a thing of beauty because it kept my Apple from crashing due to overheating.
Let me know if you ever find an original Ergotron Mactilt stand for 128/512K: I could use one of those things.

I love CRT's, only if I had the room and cooling for them. Ug i want to get rid of my CRTs but it would be expensive to replace all 3 CRTs i use on a regular basis. They are all crap at this point. one has a bad cable one has scratches on the anti glare/anti static coating, and one has a factory defect (thank you Samsung) the defect causes a contact to tarnish at lower voltages which means i would be better off running it as bright as i can. :'(
Its interesting to think of it as a pallet of computer parts 😀 but it looks like you got a good deal on it

Unless its a pallet of mac IIs or 950's. Lots of storage. The non-Apple CRTs get donated to Goodwill and such though or given away on Craigslist since I don't have room for all those.
I'll buy a pallet with undesired items (VGA monitors etc) if it has enough good items or it's cheap enough. You just can't control how they bundle these pallets together although they did a good job with the two Apple lots.

Those first two pallets are particularly drool-inducing! You've got a bloody good setup there, I've never seen anywhere here that sells good old Mac gear like that on pallets.

Got the pallets today!
The one pallet of monitors had 6 blue Apple monitors. These will go great with G3s and stuff that I can sell off.
The two Apple lots are great. 2 Platinum IIe, 1 Beige IIe, must be like 6 Unidisk floppy drives. 3 ImageWriter IIs. Mac Plus 1 MB. Several Kensington system savers, one for IIe, one for Mac Plus and one for IIGS. 2 LC II, one stripped out LC, 12" RGB, IIGS monitor, IIGS.
The broken parts pallet had a lot of stuff we had to strip down. 3 old CRT monitors, and a beige Apple monitor got stripped down. Fortunately, there's enough good parts that I can put together a working LC 580 out of two broken ones, and I got all of the motherboards and other good parts out of those other broken Macs, so it was a good deal.

I always get jealous when I read about MR buying a pallet with 30 computers on it for $5. > 🙁

Happen to have a LC 550 motherboard in there somewhere?

I wonder if they realize that when you put a CRT upside down for a long time, they tend not to work well.

I wonder if they realize that when you put a CRT upside down for a long time, they tend not to work well. I have gotten a couple of LC 575s with terrible convergence issues. I wonder if they were upside down. My friend and I looked at one and a little piece of stabilizer plastic inside of the neck had broken which ruins the whole tube so we decided to break that one down for parts. Another one though I think we were able to rectify by adjusting some of the settings.
