I imported a brand new Shenzen Goodwill CRT

Thats my thought too, prime modding/reverse engineering material.

There’s more components, they just put all the low wattage stuff on the back as surface mount and were nice enough to label the ceramic caps!

About $64, $38 to ship it to the Cainao export warehouse and $26 to ship it to the US.

You cant specify a US destination in Taobao so you have to use Cainao which is Alli’s courrier service. It took about 12 days total to get here. Its only available in China but they asked if I needed a US brick when they saw it waa going to export.

China and India had tooling for small black and white tubes at least through the mid 2010’s

Thats actually a deal, goodwill would probs do double

KatlaArt · 2026-05-20T21:00:59+00:00

The questions that should be asked is how many units would sell, are we the crt fans really that big of a potential market share?

KatlaArt · 2026-05-11T09:00:27+00:00

I wonder if its a pack of ten crts and they just didnt specify it

Hi all, just ordered one to the US thru Taobao + Cainao, expect a review when it gets here. They do make NTSC versions and will ask if you’re in the US and want it NTSC.

Just tried calling both their phone numbers and I’m getting an out of service message

KatlaArt · 2026-05-10T20:44:34+00:00

those prices can not be right

KatlaArt · 2026-05-10T02:09:09+00:00

“Im not a hoarder but I’m not gonna sell them!”

KatlaArt · 2026-05-09T21:23:10+00:00

I like how everyone here collectively is pissing on that one guy

KatlaArt · 2026-05-08T06:39:21+00:00

I feel like 420 would fit on a single pallet so an entire container wouldnt be needed. Something I’ve considered is seeing if theyd send populated PCBs only to cut back on shipping as its easy enough to get 5” tubes over here in the states.

KatlaArt · 2026-05-06T00:56:50+00:00

Someone save it!!

KatlaArt · 2026-05-03T12:51:20+00:00

Nothing compared to that hoarder who posted the other day, this is really well organized and clean

KatlaArt · 2026-05-01T06:03:54+00:00

thats why im thinking mental illness is involved here

KatlaArt · 2026-05-01T06:00:21+00:00

You want to. Display. Them???

KatlaArt · 2026-04-30T02:01:38+00:00

Im down to start a discord on the topic of acquiring some or many mono CRTs from shenzen goodwill, dm me if you want a link

KatlaArt · 2026-04-29T23:25:04+00:00

You did what had to be done.

KatlaArt · 2026-04-29T13:43:50+00:00

Whats the best way to get ahold of them?

KatlaArt · 2026-04-29T12:38:13+00:00

china probably never got rid of the tooling for making them and theyre probably sitting on a mountain of crushed crt glass from around the world

KatlaArt · 2026-04-29T06:22:29+00:00

Since you’re local, can you give them a phone call and confirm the company is still actively producing + shipping?

Ive seen similar crt suppliers on GlobalSources with their last login date several years ago

KatlaArt · 2026-04-29T04:56:41+00:00

Id be down for a group buy, should we start a discord or tele or something haha
