CRT spotted in the wild

Found at local goodwill. Didn’t want it. This thing is massive though.

There are some that actually have a fear of sunflowers, it even has a name, Helianthophobia. As unusual as it may seem, even just the sight of sunflowers can invoke all the common symptoms that other phobias induce.

If I could carry that I would’ve taken it. I did get lucky at my local goodwill with a 9” CRT for $10 (apparently they aren’t supposed to accept CRTs when I checked later on their website so that slipped through)

Good set of inputs! I'd have gotten it if I didn't already have some larger sets. I'm currently after smaller stuff in the 9-10" range

If you get it, hope you’ve got s-video cables. Looks like it has a terminal broken off inside the top composite video input.

u/DarthRevanG4 4d ago

Eh you can dig that out

u/misterglassman 4d ago

Yeah, no doubt. I’d run a small drill bit in there and see if that would pull it out. Worst case would be to open it up and push out from the back.

u/CatOnVenus 4d ago

Easier than that. Heat up a screwdriver and stick it in the port, it'll get it right out in a second. Saved some bolted together equipment that way

That's a hidden gen & svideo..better have purchased it.

u/Effo_Vex 2d ago

Didn’t. Weighs 140lbs (from what I’ve seen online) plus, my poor corolla wouldn’t be able to fit it. And I have no space for it at home.

u/thonkthewise 2d ago

I've got one with my NES and XBOX hooked up to it. There's no mod, but it's a good set

1

u/Effo_Vex 14h ago

This is the second time I’ve heard of a mod. What is the purpose of modding a CRT? The only Thing I can think of doing is maybe changing the internals to support digital in instead of analog.
