My vintage collection is mostly laptops, due to space considerations, and the screens are all in pretty good shape... a dead pixel here and there, a a couple slightly dim backlights, but no warping, or anything like that. I have had a few arrive with loose wires that needed tightening, to get the LCDs working, but a little tape fixed that. Warning... I smoked either the screen or the video module on the mobo on a really super Compaq Armada, because I (duh) forgot to pull the vintage but apparently still holding a charge battery, before working on the screen... really wanted to cry, on that mistake. My laptop collections is composed of GRiD 1520s, 2260s, and 2360s (the titanium cased military models, and a few GRiD 1910 series tablets, and Zenith 8086, IBM 8086, Compaq, and Apple Mac machines, so I guess they would have been high quality machines, when new... especially the GRiD's, which are really impressive machines. -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ -weblog http://radio.weblogs.com/0128450/ A business is as honest as its advertising. .
