In my quest to have more monitors than sense, I picked up a lot of smaller PVMs from a local seller. I got 5 PVM-9L3s and 3 PVM-9L1s for $70. I was pretty excited to get such a good deal. Each monitor was said to be working, and while people seem to chase the larger, 14"+ monitors, I'm more than happy with smaller CRT screens. Large or small, PVM prices are crazy because people know PVMs are a "thing", so less than $10 apiece was a price I was ready to pay.
I figured the seller was a tech recycler or a government auction buyer from our conversations. I figured I might be in a small warehouse or someone's actual home picking up these monitors. Instead, the seller was the owner of a large live event business, with a front office staff and two tiers of warehouse staff. As I walked from the front office back to the warehouse loading dock, I marveled at the stacks and stacks of road cases and bales of cabling. This was a serious operation.
The monitors were stacked on a pallet, and the cheerful employee who was helping me out said that I was getting a bonus. I thought this meant there were road cases or power cables included, but I was mistaken. The employee picked up one of the 9L3 monitors and said that most of the monitors still had their cards in them. I couldn't believe what I saw. Four of the 9L3s had BKM-129X cards in them, which allow the monitors to accept RGB and component signals. This makes them way more versatile for retro gaming. Not only that, those cards routinely sell for over $100 on ebay.
I kept my cool and loaded up the monitors while thanking the employee. Turns out, he did have power cables to throw in, as well. The deal was concluded with no one running in to stop it. No one realized just how good a deal I was getting. So, I drove off and now these monitors are in my home. I'm looking forward to firing up and putting them through their paces over my extended holiday break.

Wooooahh mama what a deal. Let me know if you want to sell any in person. My cousin and I are both looking for one. (Santa told me we're pretty close by to you)

Let me get them all tested and maybe we can make a deal. Despite their size, these would make pretty good additions to a retro set up.

Now you just need a pallet of security cameras, and you can be your very own surveillance state!
ANYway, time to show off my last tech score of 2017:
[img width=550 height=633]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4729/24550022367_8cc18bc7b2_z.jpg[/img]
Not bad for $5, huh? Though it wasn't without a slight drawback:
[img width=635 height=550]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4730/24550022167_da7dc98594_z.jpg[/img]
Fortunately, it looks a lot worse than it actually was. After a thorough cleanup and a fresh set of batteries, it was good to go...

I did an all-day thrift crawl yesterday, and hit my very first HP calculator hat trick:

Flanking the 27S scientific calculator is a 39g+ graphing calc to the left, and a 39g graphing calc on the right.
So, whatta ya think, Nupes?

I like all the buttons
I have the business version of that 27S which was my dad's when I was a kid. I always liked the way it feels, sturdy and solid with nice buttons.
You should feel it some for me.

OK, it is dirty. Did you "feel them up" for Nupoile?

Rofl. Reminds me of my daughter. Took her in the cleanest thrift store we have in the Metro D (the DAV), and she shouted, "It smells really weird in here!"

You want dirty? Then get a load of these:
[img width=550 height=639]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4657/25876494928_ba147b09d7_z.jpg[/img]
Picked up this lot of three TI-85s and twoTI-86es for under $10 all told, of which four turned out to function properly. BTW one of the TI-85s and one of the TI-86es are teacher/viewscreen editions, which features a port to connect to overhead projectors.
Things got even filthier when I found this bad boy for under $15:
[img width=502 height=768]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4621/39039228994_e38096fffc_b.jpg[/img]
Aaaand now, the ultimate in utter depravity: here they are, all lined up (with a new cover plate for the TI-84+):
[img width=700 height=240]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4760/25876494648_df3d8ee7c7_b.jpg[/img]
Think you have enough stamina to push all those buttons, big boy?
