Really can't find a single tv!! How did you find yours?

Hiya guys!! It's been like 3 months since the last time I posted here, and nothing changed unfortunately... I went to goodwill in New Jersey, and I went today back home in Manchester CT, both didn't have one! I check on Facebook marketplace all the time, but they are either like 100$ or to far away for me to pick up (I can't drive yet) same for ebay. At this point it seems impossible! I'm thinking I might just have to pay the money...

How much did you guys have to pay when you got yours? (I'm looking for a 13 inch like this, but at this point, anything is fine!)

Thrift store find

Found this at a thrift store. I saw it and didnt think much of it. I knew that CRT's were cool but I just ignored it. That was about a month or 2 ago. Fast forward to now, I was finally influenced to buy one but I didnt wanna pay a crazy price. I remembered seeing this one on the bottom shelf of an unpopular thrift store. I got it 50% off for $10. Plugged it in and it works great (sadly the speakers dont work which really ticks me off...) come to find out it sells for a lot more than $10... really happy with my purchase. I set it up with an old laptop (the only item I own that still outputs VGA) and ive got it setup as a little display piece with some clips from some of my favorite 90's anime.

Found this Toshiba Blackstripe at my Grandma's home.

Does this worth anything? Would absolutely love to keep this but I don't have any space in my home currently.

Service menu?

Got this crazy looking CRT this week and need to do some geometry adjustments. It’s on of those “weird” rebranded ones that I think uses a Daewoo chassis. I’ve tried many options to access Daewoo cp099f service menu but no luck.

Anyone here have seen or owned a Kotron?
I will try to open it over the weekend and take some photos of the main board.

Holy Grail of a CRT?

Just picked up this gem from Facebook marketplace today for completely free what do ya’ll think? I don’t know MUCH about CRT’s but how good was this one? It’s the Sony KD-36FS170

Got both of these for $27! Anyone know much about the Toshiba Solid State?

I picked both of these up at an estate sale today. The Toshiba is a model 921 that I think works but I’m not really sure how to tell. Does anyone have any information on this model? Also what are my options for actually using it?

Anyone in central Iowa area in need of a CRT for super cheap? I have an extra.

After finding our old CRT from the 90s at my moms house, I have 4 crts now, and this 20" philips magnavox i was using is just taking up space now. It has chips on the glass, not terribly noticeable when its on, but it only has RF in. No s-video and no component or composite or anything. But it works and if someone nearby just wants a cheap CRT I've got you!

Grail for the wife

Never thought we would come across any of the bratz TVs for a decent deal semi local. This old girl is a little sun faded and the DVD player is stuck but that's ok absolute need even has an input on the front and the back and a full video output on the back not pictured. Will need to find the remote one day for the vibes

Found on the curb

I found a 1988 Toshiba in the curb. It definitely sat in a garage or back room for a long time. Dusty as could be. No droppings inside of it, thankfully. The speakers don’t work, but it has an auxiliary plug in. I was able to get it hooked up to my soundbar. The color is still bright.

I'll post my CRT finds here too :3

  1. A 1990s (I belive) Philips CRT-TV. The back cover is loose and there's a hairbrush(?) and a TV remote inside. The glass has a lot of crisscrossed wires, almost like pixels but a CRT doesn't have any "pixels" does it? Is it possible to get it working?

  2. Unknown brand FHD CRT (I think so by aspect ratio), with a remote on top. Idk what to do with it, since I just don't like the asthetic so much, but idk, I could warm up to it..?

  3. A PC terminal that's designed to eork with 1970s-1980s IBM somethings, according to a wuick google. Looks fun but propably not something I would ever find a use in.

  4. Some form of DUX television set from the 1970s, unsure of the model (like with all of these but I can try check). It looks cool and if it works or is able to be made work, I'd put it in my future living room..

5 & 6. Images of the interanls of the CRT (I think so) that's underneath the DUX set. It's a cabinet style one but the cabinet won't open and I don't want to force it (the key turns but it turns empty, yk?)

  1. A Daewoo CRT that I'm unsure of the working order of, but it looks nice and could maybe do as a kitchen set if I want multiple TVs eventually. Pretty light and mono audio so nothing fancy unlike the others..

Anything I should excercice caution with? Anything I should do with these? I live in finalnd and the old ungrounded plugs don't fit into the groubded ones so I'd have to get grounded plugs...

Cheers, CRTs are fun and this doesn't end here :3

Any opinions and any help would be wrlcome, I don't want to ask r/CRT again since I posted some of these already a bit ago...

Happy late midsommar, the party can keep going :3
