That is a VERY reasonable thing to ask! It's in Denver, and Emanuel
Stiebler has expressed interest (he's local) so he'll probably get here
first.
The experience I have with Apollo monitors for, among others, their
2000-series stations is that they had monitors which were very nice for the
time, and worked at 1024x800. These worked fine with a modified SVGA board.
There's a local surplus guy who's got about a half dozen Appollo stations
with the HP label on them and with HP monitors which he's trying to sell for
$75. I doubt he'll sell even one.

I also have a Philips 19" color monitor formerly used on a
uVAX at 1280x1024 with nominally a 64kHz horizontal rate which is in the
same category and with which I experienced the same level of success which
I'd also happily hand over to whoever wants it.
And the first question to ask about a free for shipping 75 lb monitor is,
where is it? ;) I need something to play with some Apollo workstations, but
it has to be someplace in SoCal.
