NOS DEC VR201/VT220 CRT tubes

EMI Solutions is going out of business and is clearing stock. They've offered to sell these tubes - DEC P/N 70-19578 VT220 TUBE & CRT ASSEMBLY for $37.50 + $15 shipping/ea or bulk qty of (10) for $250 including shipping in the US. They will ship internationally but contact them for costs. Jack Rubin and I have already purchased a few and they are as advertised, new-old-stock, shipped in the original carton with foamed-in-place support. The part number actually crosses to a VR201 CRT + bezel assembly but the bezel is easily removed by loosening a single screw. The VT220 and VR201 CRTs themselves are interchangeable. Phosphor colors are white, green and amber, subject to availability. I have successfully swapped the tube in an old VR201 that suffered from severe "cataracts" and it was about a 10 minute job. The monitor now works and looks great-- other than the color mismatch between the very yellowed housing and the fresh DEC beige of the new bezel. Good deal-- move quick as unsold units go to scrap at the end of the month. Contact Claudia, <webmaster at emisolutions.com> Nothing in this for me other than helping people keep their VR201 and VT220 looking sharp and these tubes from going to scrap. Chris -- Chris Elmquist
