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.
None of the thrift stores I have been to in the last decade accept CRTs anymore that I have seen, the same with record players and other vintage electronics like classic computers. It is still worth verifying locally of course.
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.
Yet another reminder I gotta find a decent CRT near me before it’s too late

Worth a try?
Not a bad idea, thanks!
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.
thats huge
It was nice. I was happy that someone else could use it.
That’s pretty big. I’m looking for something closer to 24 inches
