Where to buy CRT Tv's online for cheap?
since all my tube tvs broke I very much would like a new one but there are no thrift stores nearby so I would like to buy one online and have it shipped to me but am having trouble finding them...
at goodwill or other thrift stores they are like $15-$25.....
i searched amazon 'crt tv' and 'tube tv' but they are ridiculously expensive...


Also RCA to VGA converter?
I would like to try and plug my GC into my computer monitor which does not have RCA inputs... will this converter work?

you should try craigslist, some people even give away their crt's for free.

as for the monitor thing, no that will not work. I thought the same thing and bought something like that a long time ago but what that does is it lets your pc/notebook plug into a tv and be displayed on the tv.

this is what your looking for. this dude chain-ace posted this a while ago and I actually bought and it lets me plug my gc into my monitor just like your looking for. its pretty cool

Did you try ebay? And No, that converter will connect a PC to a VGA device. Converters usually lag. There are some LCDs with high refresh rates and relatively low latency that might work for you.

Well if in the ends of your world(just kidding!) you can't obtain one I can try and send you one of my CRT tvs. Just pay the shipping lol.

-Just PM me and be patient since I haven't done this before.

Thrift Store TVs are too expensive? Wha?
$25 for a functional CRT television is a great deal, buy that one.

If you buy online the shipping of a 50lb television will cost you well over $25.

Craigslist. People literally give them away.

Went to Dollar Tree a few years back, found a 10x10-inch Zenith CRT television for $10. It only weighs 20lbs, and it has a mother****ing handle on the top. It fits in a backpack. Built-in VHS player too, which would've been perfect for recording SSB64 matches in the aynshent times. It's the best tourney TV you ever had.
Go get one of them, if you can find a non-VHS/DVD model, **** will be even smaller and weigh even less.
