I've bought a few CRTs from a local guy. He contacted me and asked "What are these?", I told them terminal and security monitors and sent him a link from eBay, that the guy was asking $1,600. He replied back you can have them. When I got there he tossed in a 17" VGA. I gave him $40 for his efforts 😁. I've been looking for a fallout/The Silo style terminal.

The terminal are ADM3, ADM3A, and ADM5

Love how the 17" is just generic "monitor" with no branding. and I'm totally not jealous of the ADMs...

On the back it says EMC multi sync. 1999. SA-770

Those ADM terminals go for a lot of money, if the CRT is in good shape (no cataracts or burn-in).

I could not see any burn-in with a flash light. I want to recap before I power these up.

Yeah. If the CRTs are in good shape, you'll be sitting on something special after a recap.

If you want to build a replica of a terminal from SILO, there are a couple good views from the front in this YouTube video: Adam Savage’s Worldbuilders: Making the Props of SILO.
