    I had to toss a Trinitron about a year ago. Was taking up too much space. I tried finding someone to pick it up with no takers, and had to junk it instead.

    It’s not a large community.

      Damn.

      I’m happy with my old Apple color monitor for the IIe, but I would’ve happily taken it.

      I had to give up an early 1080p CRT recently. It broke my heart, but I have toddlers.

      They’re always messing with this 2lb giant flat thing. That would’ve crushed them if they had managed to knock it over. It needed a professional degaussing any way. Who the hell does that these days?

        I had an old Radio Shack bulk tape eraser that I got good at using as a degausser. Cable TV installer came in and moved my speakers too close to the TV and it cast an off color to the side. Tried my hand with the big electro magnet and got rid of the discoloration.
