Hey guys, long time lurker here.
Edit: Sorry for all the confusion. I misunderstood the rules. I apologize for all the confusion. I have added an asking price to the listing.
These monitors on average go for roughly $2,000 usd on Ebay these days and I payed roughly $500 total to get this monitor serviced. So I'd be looking to sell this monitor around the ballpark of $2,500. Or, I'd also be willing to trade for a candy cabinet(s) in that price range as well. I could also throw in an Extron Crosspoint 16 x 16 matrix switcher, some BVM accessories, and RGB console cables that I no longer need as part of a deal.
Here is some important information about the monitor.
I picked up a Sony BVM 20F1U a while back and got it fully restored not too long ago.
I gave this monitor an extensive cleaning back in August. I also got the four main boards of this monitor professionally recapped by an ex-Sony CRT technician, Savon Pat. The monitor works flawlessly and the screen is in great condition. The screen has no screen burn, scratches, or any noticeable damage to it. The accompanying BKM-10r remote controller also has been cleaned and works perfectly fine. I should note that the built in timer for this monitor says that it has over 58,000 hours of use on it but the amount of actual use this monitor has is lower but, for lengthy technical details this isn't reflected. I can explain more in private if someone who is interested would like more details.
Cosmetically, the monitor is in good shape too. The bezel has a few light scratches from age but there are no significant scratches or chips in it. The monitor was spray painted black before I obtained it and the paint is chipping a little bit in some areas. Additionally, there is a little patch on top of the monitor where the paint has been completely chipped away. I do not think it needs a new coat of paint as the patchy spot on top of the monitor could be covered by the remote but it could use a nee coat to take the monitor up a notch cosmetically.
Essentially, I planned to have this monitor for a very long time but some very recent dire personal life details have forced me to reconsider this. However, I still sought out to completely restore this monitor and future proof it with the resources available to me and with what is out there.
I have attached some general photos to this post but I can provide more thorough ones privately.
Cheers.
