Wells Gardner monitor New and Unused

[Colywobbles]

ok guys long story but back in the 90s my love was also directed at Arcade Cabs but eventually became pins only and I sold the few I had acquired.
However late 90s I bought some neo geo games from a dude who imported them down Middlesbrough way.
While there I noticed he had around 20-30
Brand new monitors stacked up in a corner and bought one as a spare. Roll on 26yrs while clearing Mums house out last week I came across it.

This was brand new and never used so I’m sure would be a great candidate for a spare if checked over.
I’ve no idea how to power up or check so obvious question is What’s it worth as is or would it be worth getting looked at?
Or should I just stick it on another forum ie UKVAC

Arcade monitors are pretty robust when handled right.
Main thing with a shelf life and will need replacing are the capacitors I believe.
Grant on UKVAC is a wiz with monitors.
Not sure whether it’s a standard, medium or high res monitor which would affect desirability depending on who wants it for what game.
I’d say £250ish as a guesstimate.

48 is a 19" tube isn't it?

Looks like one of these

19”
WG I believe are measured corner to corner of the entire tube rather than just the visible screen.

Googling 3001 and it looks like it could be a high res monitor and manufactured in 97 so pretty late in the life line of crt’s I would have thought.

If low res then £300 imho.

VGA maybe £200.

Thanks Guys
Got a mate popping over this afternoon with some kit to check it works.
He got got dibs now so just after fair price for us both.
Think it stands me £150 so should recoup my outlay anyways.
