  Well that’s a lie, I know an early 20 year old who’s into retro games and has definitely been to an arcade with CRTs in the past year or so

    I had three different ones growing up. The first 2 were black and white and the last one was color. All found on the side of the road.

      I find one every once in a while, on the side oft the road aswell, unfortunately some idiot usually sprayed graffiti on it for some dumbass Instagram post, or I have no room at my place ATM.

  CRTs are popular with people who have retro games consoles.

  They’re surprisingly difficult to acquire though. Big, heavy and either very expensive or free.
