Source for NOS CGA monitors!

OK, I took a chance and bought a $165, new old stock, 19" CGA arcade monitor from a guy on Ebay (I don't know how many he has left). It came with no metal frame, just a new picture tube from 2007 and the circuit board and wires.
Good news is, it will fit in the P2K monitor frame and the head of the P2K machine! The tube is exactly the same size as the old one with the same mounting tabs at the corners. The circuit board is the same size and come in a plastic frame that will need a couple mounting holes drilled in it, but no big deal. The signal input is a header with round pins; R, G, B, Earth and composite sync.
I am going to test it with the Nucore computer tonight and I will post back here with the results.
