CRT replacement for Apple Monitor II
Posted by: Yanisssch on 2024-05-29 12:13:53 Hello! I received a full set of Apple IIe with the Apple IIe, the floppy disk driver and the Apple II monitor all of them with their original box and paper & accessories, sadly the postal services destroyed the CRT due to shocks I think (and hopefully it didn’t damaged the plastic parts) Sadly the CRT was working perfectly and I want to get this full set working for my collection, anyone have an idea for a CRT replacement to fit into the CRT (it’s a Green Phosphor but the amber is also ok for me {fallout new Vegas vibe} ) If anyone can help me to find a replacement CRT from another product (like a crt from another brand or something like that) Or if anyone have a Spare CRT I live in France 🇫🇷 Model: A2M2010P Manufactured: July 1983 by Samsung Thanks for your help 🙏
Posted by: olePigeon on 2024-06-06 16:33:05 I suspect a lot of mono CRTs might fit, and might even be compatible with the neck board. Won't necessarily need an exact replacement. Something else to consider would be an old 4:3 or 5:4 LCD TV. You could probably fit stereo audio RCA jacks + 3.5mm jack where the potentiometers are. Then with all the extra space you could stick some small speakers inside where the air vents are.
Posted by: Juror22 on 2024-06-06 17:57:10 This link from another forum seems to reference an attempt to retrofit other similar size/type monitors - obviously with a different purpose, but it contains information that may be important as you look for a replacement, specifically how to intelligently source/use a different CRT. Here is a link for the SAMs of the A2M2010 - no 'P' though, which may make a difference. Sorry your monitor arrived in sad shape, but congrats on the rest of it and I love your attitude. Great idea looking at replacing it with an amber one.

Sadly those Apple ii monitor are rarely dead all I find in France seems working fine and destroyed like mine lol I just want to find an alternative to make it working x)
Posted by: bibilit on 2024-06-10 00:18:04 Probably finding a 30 cm old vintage TV will be a solution, won't be green or amber, but will be a suitable replacement for the time being.

Posted by: Arbee on 2024-06-15 11:34:22 Monochrome CRTs were mostly standardized by 1960, and 100% standardized by the 80s. There's very little chance of frying anything if you're swapping a CRT from a black and white TV of similar vintage.
