I couldn't help it

[TUD1]

I stopped in the thrift shop after a sad day of estate sailing, and sitting on the bottom shelf all by itself was this rather new looking Sony Trinitron. It was marked $7.98, so I figured why not. Threw it in a buggy and went to check out, and to my surprise, everything in the store was half off! So I got a very nice 2004 24" Trinitron for $3.99. They had the brightness and contrast maxed out, and it was in "sports" mode, so I feared that the CRT was totally wasted. But that turned out not to be true. I turned everything down to a reasonable level, and it makes a stellar picture.
