Being a realist I'd be willing to pay $300 ~ $400.

If you had brand new, reliable, working X/Y monitors, on the shelf right now,
you could probably talk me into a higher price.

I'd be willing to pay $200+ for just a conversion kit. (The kit would basically
gut a raster monitor, use just the chassis and CRT and would include a new yoke,
new drive electronics and a new HV section.)
