It is amazing how many vintage CRT'S are still great!!

I GUARANTEE that ANY decent CRT will outlast a light engine, from an LCD or DLP set!!

Note--a "decent CRT" means a good one, like a roundie, Hitachi tube from before 2000, a Zenith tube made before 1990 or such-- NOT that "Chinese junk" the last CRT sets had!!

Of course, our sample is somewhat skewed, because millions of TVs simply were simply sent to the dump when the CRT failed. We are seeing the survivors, many of which were likely relegated to some sort of low usage status before failure of the CRT.
