Would like to purchase an original DB19 to DB19 cable for use between my Cube and N4000A monitor.
Thanks!

I have the original NeXT db 19 to db 19 shorter 18" Cables it will work with your NeXT Cubes $59.95 The originals were 6 footers , if I sell one then I am with out for a complete Cube system so the price is $199.95 also have my combo cables which use a flat panel for $69.95 , you can run it through your sony for the sound card component where display is on the flat panel , great way to surrogate for dim NeXT monitor with out having to pull the sound card. Also have a Mac floppy cable 5 footer which interestingly does work for the NeXT display for $59.95 the cavaet is it only displays balck and white as you need a 50 ohm resister to get grey tones. If you would like to DIY a display cable , I sell DB 19 connectors $10.95 add a shroud for $4. and we have specs on the pinouts.
Hey, Rob!
Thanks for the reply. I'm curious about how well the 18" cable works with the cube. Is it too constricting and/or put excess strain on the connectors at a hard right angle? I don't mind the monitor and Cube quite close side by side on a desk. I assume these are mostly for the early mono slabs or intended for Cube use as well?
I do have your mono to VGA cable from eBay. Works nicely and I need to order one of your color ones as well soon.
I made my own mono cable, but ghosting is quite bad and I'm unsure if it's my cable, monitor or both. Video here:

Thanks!

The short cable works fine, but it's pretty tight. The monitor needs to be right beside the Cube.
@Rob Blessin Black Hole I've emailed you directly about arranging purchase.
Thanks!
Hello Half Press : Great I'll take a look and send a paypal invoice, if you made a cable I think it may need a 50 ohm resistor to bring in the greys as without it it is pure black and white.
There are some adjustments under the back cover , I made a video awhile back
https://youtu.be/jiH5jLjcqSY?si=Ri7SM1F0fKJjhFjv I had a roommate that would paint them for me but he has since moved on THeir was a formula if your search cube paint I think it is listed in a thread Sherwin Williams had to custo,m mix it and it was $125 a gallon. I've seen both good and bad results powder coating but it depends on the skill set of the painter and equipment. As well as prepping here are 3 he did ,
https://youtu.be/ChqGSUwOp54?si=D04YSoeV5AzdykGf I would venture to guess he would probably do it for $500 and source the paint, his dad just passed so his is in Nebraska at the wake. I'll ask him but I know he is busy as he is the foreman for 6 crews and drives sometime hundreds of miles a day to make sure the job sites are going well and does the touch ups. Powder coating should be a lot less but I don't know everything seems expensive to me these days.
Hello Aaron: I'll see if I have a Monitor case in better condition ..
Here is the PayPal invoice for the cable
