Back in the late 70's early 80's we used to buy rebuilt color CRT's in the 30-40 dollar range all the time from Hurleys.
They weren't the best quality, the corners usually had some dead pixels from dirt that got in the tube during rebuilding but they worked.

Pick up a Roundy set at a yard sale for $5 (that was common then), throw in a $30 CRT and a few small tubes (usually all the 6GH8's @$1 each), clean the tuner and controls and sell it for $200, those were the days.
