Strange ebay ad for 21" color CRT
I just love ads like this one.....

Absolutely outrageous price, ripoff shipping, says he's a TV enthusis but not a tech, doesn't know what CRT parts are AND this CRT is sold AS IS as a used takeout of an old set UNTESTED but he says "Bid with confidence"!!

If perfect face and pegs the the test meters, maybe $400. Unknown condition, ~$0.00 due to no place rebuilding them. MHO and sticking to it.

Anyone else notice this was added...

"BAD NEWS The CRT Test showed Barely any Emissions No Shorts, All Three Guns did light up. I will let all the watchers inform me as if there is still any interest in this tube. It is the "Nice" tube with the Rare Earth Phosphorus" so it may be a good candidate for a rebuild!"

Well, it sold. Maybe it will respond and wake up with a rejuvinator providing the seller didn't bang the heck out of it and ruin the thing.

Hummmm wonder who got it?

I corresponded with the guy, not sure how well the CRT was tested. If you really really needed the yoke and convergence board and convergence yoke to complete a project then I can see the 100$ and just hope the CRT test was not done "right"

The guy who bought it left the seller positive feedback, so it must have at least made it through shipping without damage. Maybe the tube wasn't being tested properly and the buyer got a good deal for around $150 (?)
