Fighting the urge to impulse buy

****(EDIT)****

I’m an expat living in Taiwan.

Seller is asking 33,000NT (1,064USD)

Capacitors have been recapped and two original controllers.

Picked up this tiny CRT monitor , displays a single bright horizontal white line across the screen though, is this an easy fix ? What should I do to get this bad boy running as I’m a complete newbie when it comes to repairing these things 🤔

Went inside a store and saw this beauty, still working and it even still looked very bright even though it probably has a ton of hours.

Messed a bit with the brightness contrast and temperature settings. So far, I have only done web-surfing or watching videos. Gonna boot up retroarch or Xenia-canary and get it really dialed in. Im currently using a STARTECH DisplayPort->VGA adapter and then have a USB-C->DisplayPort so I can use this with both my 3050 laptop and my desktop with a 5070Ti. Far from ideal,but outside of GPU pass through, this is the best solution I have for getting a CRT to play with modern machines.

I grabbed an extra computer power cable, cut off the end, and spliced it on, and it works great. It has rwy on the back with an S-video port. It was one of those hospital TVs. Dude I got them from didn't have the time and was going to throw them away so I asked to take them.

Anyone know why the yellow video port the colors are super dull but the s video port is great? Sorry if my terminology is incorrect I just started getting into crt tvs

My dad found this in one of his sites. He says its at least 40inch.

That input is for ext antenna only. I'd really like a way to use this thing somehow. Appreciate any info

I found these three absolute beauties at the local electronics recycling center earlier today! Both the Trinitron and the Emerson work perfectly! Unfortunately, the Macintosh Classic had its power supply removed, but the CRT is still inside!

Seriously, this is actually cheaper than I've seen them, and it's still ridiculous for a supposed charity corporation.

Sooo....I finally got my first crt tv!!!! I'm so happy!! I found one about 3 miles from my place, on Facebook marketplace, and I paid 50$! It's 13 inch, and I'm having so much fun with it!! It has a vcr, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work...

Currently still there.

Many people like to complain about CRTs being sold for hundreds of dollars, but if you care about the preservation of CRTs, you should be happy to see that people are willing to pay non-trivial money for working CRT TVs because it means that society values CRTs, it motivates people to save CRTs from being trashed as a means of making money.

If nobody is willing to pay for CRTs, then more CRTs would be destroyed.

If anyone lives near Allentown (in Slatington to be exact). He’s junking it on Friday so be quick and be safe

Just have a slight addiction to crt tvs. Building a TV wall in my basement. Think it's about as complete as it's gonna get currently

Can’t get outta work to swoop this one so if anyone is in the Omaha area this one’s up for grabs still. Looks like a 32” but can’t confirm. Good amount of ports in the back though!

Earlier today, I went to a local Savers location where I found this CRT karaoke machine with Bluetooth! The unit seems to be in pretty good cosmetic condition, which isn't too surprising, considering that it was manufactured in April of 2014.

If anyone lives in Hoboken NJ, this was found on Willow Ave
