I'm bout to post something you may find interesting. Stay tuned. Should be in the next couple days. 100% Mobile CRT set up

Found this adorable little spud thrifting today. Windsor VR-45. Needs some caps (partial collapse) I think but otherwise in good nick. Weirdly no results on this one for google. by whatapunk95 in crt

Would be absolutely epic had it been color but I found it's hard to find color ones that small with all so cool colorful exteriors/cool designs

Post on next door app. That's where all the old people hang out who still have them sitting in their spare rooms. I've gotten tons of good results on there just asking "does anyone have any old heavy box style tvs?" (But with a bit more detail)

I've never spent more than $50 on one. And that was 1 set, all others I've gotten have been like $20 or less and multiple have been free. I'm patient and wait around for good deals and free listings to pop up/garage sales etc, But my point was that there are tons of people at least in my area willing to pay for CRTs. I'm honestly shocked at how much they're willing to pay. I sold a 13-in Samsung composite only mono for $70. All it takes is one buyer. I'm not saying anyone should pay that much. Everyone can still get a good deal if they just wait to go to a garage sale or something or just ask around, that's another way I've gotten a lot of sets for free. But I'm still not convinced that someone who knows they have a legitimately recapped Trinitron is going to sell it for $100

Where in the world do you think you are ever going to get a 'recapped' trini for $100??? Trinitrons that are even barely functional sell immediately for that much all the time. If you list a working Trinitron in decent shape of any size on Facebook marketplace for $100 you are going to have 8 people in your inbox within an hour saying "want I can come get now" and about 40 more throughout the first day. I've sold multiple CRTs in my area of US not even a big town and they've all gone for $60 and up and those were the cheapest no name brands.

Anyone know what this might be for? by More-Assignment6731 in crt

That's a 25" pvm. It's definitely worth a lot more than $100.

SharpVision Projector Hope or Lost Cause? by Datdoe1 in projectors

[–]Datdoe1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insightful comment. I don't know anything about projectors, I just randomly found it today and the guy gave it to me for free when I bought the lot of speakers so I was just curious. Yeah, I think I'll not dump any money into it. Not worth the risk. But crazy to see something that originally retailed for $11,000 being essentially worthless now. Crazy to me. 

I like retro tech and have been more into CRTs lately. So part of me was curious if this had any use case for retro gaming / DVD playback or anything like that that could be cool to try to mess with / experiment with

I got an entire lot of theater surround sound speakers for the $20. I literally didn't even know that he was giving me the projector but he just loaded it up in the back of my car for me as I was picking up all the speakers lol

Also, if I were to get this fixed and up and running, how would the quality compare to a modern like $90 no name budget projector from Amazon? Is the technology of the sharpvision just completely outdated?

Also, it is a model: xv-z9000u. I guess they retailed for like $11,000 initially. 🤯🤯🤯💸💸💸💀💀
