Apple ][ monitor model?
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-03-08 03:56:30 Anyone know what model / brand this Apple ][ monitor is? Never seen one.
Posted by: david__schmidt on 2013-03-08 04:22:45 It looks like a TV, not a monitor - and it's certainly not particular to the Apple II.

Might be TV as well. It's part of a Apple ][+ set i am looking into getting. I didn't know they did sell Apple ][+ here too, i thought it was just Europlus. I obtained more interesting history information about Apple ][ in finland. Let's see if those are any worth posting to the history thread i have on the lounge area.

Posted by: volvo242gt on 2013-03-09 00:58:55 I used to use my original Apple IIe with our old 27" Sony TV. Just ran an RCA cable to the video input jack on the back of the TV. Worked well. -J
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-03-09 11:28:22 Heard it might be an BMC green screen monitor. I've no idea, not seen it yet by myself.
Posted by: Charlieman on 2013-03-09 13:03:46 That is indeed a BMC monitor. I own one like it although the smoked perspex panel just covers the screen rather than wrapping around. I bought it with a Europlus clone in the UK.

I bought it with a Europlus clone in the UK. Can you send me some pictures of it around the unit? I am curious to see this as it really looks strange by design. I might be getting one later on with an Apple ][+

I might be getting one later on with an Apple ][+ I'll see what I can do. I'm just back from a long holiday with a few thousand photos to categorise. I don't have a job or income, which needs to be corrected. My ISP has fouled up my primary mail box. I have lots of stuff to sort out. But I looked at a BMC monitor two minutes before I posted my comment. It is just a 40/80 column green/amber screen monitor with a vizor.

Posted by: olePigeon on 2013-04-17 15:01:33 I'm pretty sure it's from the set of a 1970s Sci-Fi movie. 😱)
Posted by: markyb86 on 2013-04-17 15:57:46 LOL. We used our commodore hooked to a TV with a "GameBox" .. an RCA jack on one side, and a set of UHF/VHF pigtails on the other. That does look like a Sanyo to me too.
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-04-17 21:03:04 It's been tested working, but when i received it, i had to put it in the basement. Looks like it has an BNC connector or something, as the cable was modified to on the monitor end to fit. I am currently considering an small 9" LCD color-TV monitor with RCA input to get colors from the Apple ][. Those go for some 60-70€ right now.
Posted by: Paralel on 2018-10-06 23:03:56 The Sanyo DM5912CX and the BMC KG-12C are the same monitor. As far as I can tell, BMC just stuck their name on it after sourcing it from Sanyo.
