    Joined. I have a 32" JVC D-Series. It’s in pretty good shape, but does need a little work to restore it to its former glory. I intend to do that work myself, but maybe I will document it and share it here as I go.

    The sound of these was always just barely bearable for me. I guess I wouldn’t be able to hear such a high pitch now that I’m older.

      Still hearing it at 30+, but it definitely depends on the tv how loud it is

      I ended up having to give my old 43" Hitachi away. I posted on reddit, posted some comments here to people I knew and the crt savers discord. No luck.

        That’s pretty big. I’m looking for something closer to 24 inches

      Last summer I made a few local community posts in a few places about “large/heavy TV removal services” where I basically offered to haul people’s large tvs away so they don’t have to figure out what to do with them. I was looking for a specific size and type of crt for a friend and managed to find a working one within a week.

      Worth a try?

      if you want to get one, a suggestion that I heard of is to volenteer at a salvation army/thrift store because apperently they get them all the time and unfotunetly they cant accept them.

    Wow! I used to have one just like that in the kitchen sitting on top of the fridge. It was tan instead of grey tho. Had a carry handle and a manual tuning knob, black and white only.

    Was for watching Saturday morning cartoons while having breakfast or watching cooking shows while mom cooked.
