Recent eBay find, tells you what you already know (your CRT is dead, but they wanna gouge you before having to pay for a replacement!)

Thought it was neat use of scrap/leftover parts- it’s apparently built from an octal socket, CRT base, an FP style capacitor case, and a cardboard tube. Not sure what they sold for, but they probably made money on each one lol.

Looked up the address, apparently they were located in the Bronx.
