Yup! They got here just fine...
And if anybody is working on any Osborne, Kaypro, or C64 stuff feel free to
give a holler as I did quite a bit of that and have tech info available if I
need it. And lots of parts, particularly for the c64 stuff (although I
could use a mess of SID chips if anybody has any units I could scrap for
them).

The
monitor itself was apparently made by Zenith, but I have not yet
been able to locate a schematic for that portion of things, though I
have complete tech info on the rest of the computer. If anybody knows
where I might find a schematic of the monitor as well I'd sure like to
hear about it.
How hard would it be to trace out a schematic? OK, Zenith often used
house-coded ICs which will make things slightly more difficult, but at
least they're not custom ICs so they can be identified in the end. I
can't believe a small mono monitor is _that_ complicated.
