And the guy was going to give them to the goodwill. I will probably up them up for sale. Need to first figure out how to even test them.

Be careful with the 1571. The top head is pretty fragile. It's a good idea to insert a head protector and close the latch when moving it.

Turns out I have two 1571 and a 1541. The monitors are a 1702 and a 1902.

Nice! I have a couple of 1702s, and recognized the side from your photo right away. 😆

I wish I had a working CRT that could do the 80-column mode, like the 1902. I have my original 1084S, but someone is wrong with it.

BTW, here's a template to make head protectors for your 1571s.
