Okay. I gotta be honest, as is I'm pretty happy with it. It is a big improvement over how it was before.
Now that I've said that, I know it's old and tired, and with light usage, if I can get a couple years out of this tube I'll be pretty happy. If I found a 26" CRT, would it be feasible to swap the internals into this cabinet? And I mean tube, chassis, and whatever else makes the donor tv operate.
I'm not sure if the curvature of screens changed a whole lot over the years. I know Sony Trinitrons were cylindrical, and that eventually there were flat screen crts.
