Old equipment

I have an Apple 2c monitor and don’t know what to do with it. Any suggestions?

Well, it was discontinued a third of a century ago and has only RCA phono jack inputs. Unless you have a working Mac that old, I can't see using it on anything newer.


The other problem is that CRT monitors get really hot inside the case, and the wiring can get "cooked" and become brittle after many years. For me, the chance of shorting that could cause a fire and/or a lethal electric shock are too real to be ingnored.


Recycle it.
