anyone in the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham AL area looking for a decent quality CRT by any chance? Goodwill won't take CRTs and it's a shame to let them go to the dumpster since no one makes them anymore

Might as well ask here before going to craigslist, but I don't think we've seen a single other person on here from around here in the first place so.... not really expecting any answers

@trwnh How far? I dunno, really. Could probably go to birmingham or something

As for the type of CRT I posted out it in a follow-up just now, can get more details if you want (it''s out in the car right now)

@trwnh We have no idea what it's worth, were probably only going to ask like $10 for it on craigslist if we went that route

I should note, while it turns on, we do not know whether it actually works. we don't have anything to give it a signal; don't have anything that outputs s-video (or at least don't have cables for it)

@trwnh Yeah but I forget what it was, give me a minute to go out to the car and check--i'll measure the screen size too

@trwnh it's a panasonic CT-2010Y, and it's a 21" screen so I had overestimated the size

@trwnh I'll be honest, we don't know a ton about this stuff; I thought the number of horizontal lines was fixed by the NTSC standard?

@Felthry @trwnh it is standardized but there's always less because overscan

@Felthry @trwnh also you can just draw more lines with the same info I guess
