I bid but it went for way more than I expected. Somebody really wanted it!

Holy cow! Things have changed in the last 10 years... I paid 50 dollar for mine. Never looked at it again but this price shocks me...

Well, just have to look at the bids - two bidders and an ego = astronomical winning bid - hope the seller got paid

Sadly it's getting pretty rare to see a 5154 (or any true EGA monitor) in decent shape on ebay. Still, this one sold for 2-3x what I expected.

Stick to your guns and be patient. You're right - they don't come up often, but when they do - if you look at Ebay sold auctions $350-$550 has been the going rate

Side question here. Does the 5154 have the same kind of (precariously) mounted power transformer as found in the 5151? The weight of that transformer in the 5151 may cause the aged/brittle plastic bracket to break apart during shipping. Just curious.

 

[Roland Huisman]

The 5154 has a switching power supply. I have restored mine by replacing almost all capacitors. Most of small capaciros had lost the capacity.

Here you can see some pictures of the chassis.

Wow... Just got the new caps to try to resurrect three 5154's. Usual "works 10 minutes then Zap-Smoke/ That's the easy one.. Now I have one Horizontal Jitter, and One Apparently Dead.

A challenge! I do have the schematics etc... Now I have to tune my head, which was 55 years old in 1995

 

[maelstrm]

Oh wow that's completely different. Thank you Roland.

Yes, as I sit here tonight repairing that very shipping damage.
