$60!!!!!??????!!!!  I would settle for finding one for $100!

I have been shopping around a little for a mono monitor, and the cheapest
NEW price I have found mail-order is $160 (locally, the only place in town
want $200).  I have been as yet unable to find a used one for even $100,
let alone $60.

If anyone knows of or has a monochrome monitor they want to sell for a
decent price, PLEASE! let me know (Spectre can be *painful* on a color
monitor).
