I put a 27" Citizen set with remote at our local makerspace for free. Works great. Bright picture. Has a fairly well documented Jungle chip for RGB conversion.
At the end of the year I'm being asked to take it back because it's been on the table for five months and it's just taking up space.

Out here in BC where the houses are expensive and the tastes of Millennials is even more expensive it's a weird hard sell where most people won't take any other brand of CRT off your hand unmodified unless its a Trinitron. With the flow of PVM's out of Hollywood North in the last few years everyone has a taste to play Street Fighter on only the highest quality tubes.

Our local value village occasionally gets CRT sets and even computer monitors in and they sell. Mind you the prices are all over the place (a 27" for $2.99 and a 4" color portable for $25) but it's a massive change over ten years ago when they refused to accept CRT's.
