Tom Davis West Shore Community College It's nice to know people who know people who know people....! Just had this from one of my lads who has a friend at Strand who is close to a service manager at Strand, who replied to the question thus: Lightboard M uses an EGA (Extended Graphics Adaptor) monitor. This is not the same as a CGA (Colour Graphics Adaptor) EGA is RGB drive but the signals are not analogue, they are TTL. Timing is also something weird - cannot remember actual spec but can tell you it is not 625 line CCIR. In 1990's the "Multisync" monitor appeared (and cost a bomb) This could operate with CGA EGA and (the then new) VGA signals, automatically switching its configuration to what was seen on the interface. The good news is that Display Electronics http://www.distel.co.uk/ have EGA monitors available together with loads of other surplus electronic goodies. Cannot give you a direct link to the EGA monitors I found because their site is database driven. Click the search button on their site - when on the search page choose Monitors PC compatible from the Main Category drop down list.

Our theatre is located in a 1936-vintage NG Armory. For three years after the NG left, the city used the theatre area for a basketball court. Our floor is original. It is very rough and won't be replaced until 2009, except the areas with 35 years of paint on the floor.

They're more a european thing, so you might actually have better luck scrounging them up on board than here in the states. They only have 4 wings, but the angle is diffferent from phillips. the screw heads have the micro grooves to help with identity.
