Where could I find a CRT Monitor in Eugene?

I picked up an old Amiga 500 recently and unfortunately no display that I currently have works with it. If any of you know where I could pick up a CRT locally, ideally one that’s around 14", that would be great.

    I gotta ask, what are you doing with such an ancient relic? Whatever it is, sounds like a fun project.

    • @kescusay well, I have a few ideas:

      1. The Amiga came with a bunch of floppies, including some which were magazine demo disks, some of which haven’t been archived anywhere online from what I can tell so I’m definitely going to back those up.
      2. Play some of the games that came with it, such as SimCity and the port of Dragon’s Lair II.
      3. Make some music with ProTracker.
      4. I might actually try to write a game for it since there’s a lot of documentation specifically about C programming for it and that’s something I have a lot of experience in.

        Those are all awesome ideas, especially the game development!
