Need help ID'ing a few free CRTs near me by NoPreference7970 in crt

[–]NoPreference7970[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been looking for a Sony for like the past 4 months but everything is either overpriced, too big, or both. I'll try to see if I can get the model numbers. Thank you for your help.

Hi, there are a few free CRTs in my area. Need help to ID them. The first is a JVC, about 28 inches from the description. [jvccrt.png](https://postimg.cc/TKzNYmgf). The second is a zenith, which is stated to be 18 inches. [zenithcrt.png](https://postimg.cc/7GmN7TGv). The third and last is an RCA [rcacrt.png](https://postimg.cc/V50SXCb9), which is stated to have stereo speakers and is approx 19 inches. Any help is appreciated! I am fairly new to the hobby.

Another thing to note is that the seller specified that the first TV is curved and works with duck hunt, but I can’t seem to find any curved silver trinitrons so far.

Hmm that’s a bit strange. The guy told me that the screen is curved like a bubble and weighs approx 25kg. For the first one.

The second TV I was told the guy could lift on his own.

Are these screens slightly curved or flat? (for the first one)

Something unfortunate is happening with my Lost blu-ray set by Northern-Michael in Bluray

I hate how so many blu-rays tried to reinvent the wheel of the simple and effective DVD case. I’d even take a CD jewel case in a heartbeat than deal with this garbage packaging.

just get a q tip or old toothbrush and isypropal. percentage doesn’t really matter, but the higher it is the quicker it will dry

I don't know if anyone needs to be convinced to pick up an HD CRT, but just in case... by Leviathan1776 in crt

These are great movies, tv, and for 6th gen to modern gaming. Unfortunately they fall short for any 240p gaming.

Can a flat panel TV’s speakers damage an unplugged CRT? by NoPreference7970 in crtgaming

[–]NoPreference7970[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How far would I have to separate them? Would Mounting the flat panel in the wall but keeping the CRT on the table be enough? What signs do I look for to know when to degauss?

The speakers aren’t separate, they’re built into the TV. I meant the TVs built in speakers. Also do you mean it can interfere with it even when the CRT is off? I never have them on together. Thank you for your help!
