Well, I finally fell for the Trinitron scam. First time paying for a CRT and it was $120. I kind of went in expecting this to be a ripoff because it's such a gamble with trinitrons - I always assume they're run into the ground with a bazillion hours. This one seems ok - pre-WEGA flat screen so I can't check the hours sadly. I only noticed one minor geometry issue (visible horizontal red line in the top left) that I should be able to fix in the service menu.

So far so good I guess. This thing is a goddamn bitch to carry though. Everything online says it's 103lb but it was harder to carry than any other TV i've gotten. It's doable 1 man since it has these built in handles on the side but it's still a bitch.
