Bought this bundle cheap enough to be worth it. IC7 has a pin stuck in the socket, TUSL has broken tabs on Socket and few components knocked off, according to seller. Hope they're quick fixes 😁

Haven't seen them myself, arrived at a fellow collector in US.

So, shortly after, I got these home from the States. IC7 was a 10- minute fix - disassemble socket, remove broken pin, reassemble socket. Contact's spring looks fine - or else, that's another 10 minute fix 🤣
TUSL2-C I can't see any knocked off components - a lot are missing, but I think that's because of how many variants that board had. All solder pads looks mint and shiny - not like there has ever been anything on them. But that's gonna be another thread 😀

If it's dual it's kind of cool ... 😎

Had a black Dell UltraScan P991 delivere to me today! In excellent condition too. 😀

Seller told me he's used it sparingly and bought it originally off a firm that had only been running it for less than year before they made the switch to LCD's.

Nice, the tube looks decently bright. I have the SGI version of this. Had to calibrate to an acceptable level using windas and x-rite i1 display pro. Currently under the desk as a spare.

You got them in 2022 shortly after but only remembered to post the update now? 😆

Yes, it was at 30% brightness when I got it, though i nudged it up a little after taking the photo, as the blacks were a little too dark. 😀 My beige P991 also has good brightness on the tube, but the rest of the components really need a major overhaul.

I hear ya. I actually had to re-organize my room to have enough clearance for the back of the monitor. And I'd be lying if I said I was "completely" happy with the setup. The empty space behind void being the desk is giving me anxiety!😅

Very nice catch!

I got a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070B for my retro rig, bought 3 weeks ago or so.

No, it was the irony in, that it took me some 3 years to get them home 🤣
