I've tried Craigslist and local eBay....a few TVs and several 21" monitors for $200+.

I've found a couple of places that sell them for $50 + $25-$30 shipping, but they are both out of stock.

There is a Goodwill store close to me....I could wander in there this week and look around, but I'd be surprised to find a 21" CRT PC monitor in there.  Smaller ones perhaps, but not a 21".

I have a co-worker that has one he may be willing to part with for free.  He's unsure of the size though...he thinks it's 21" but I bet it is 19".  Will keep my fingers crossed.

My company used to have hundreds of the IBM 21" CRT displays for CAD work.  They had to have gone *somewhere*.  I was asking around to see if there was a local company that sold them off or something.  Heck, even the local schools here won't even take CRT monitors as donations anymore!

There's a company in Marietta that recycles computer gear by the pallet-load.  Probably something like that in Savannah (that where you are?) too.

You also could well find a more recent TV than the one you've already tried out... certainly you should be able to land one with direct RCA (and probably S-video) inputs instead of having to go through a converter.  That'd be a huge improvement right off the bat.

Damn- I got a 19 inch and 21 inch CRT here in Arizona last year for $5 each.

Afterburner:

I looked a few local places and ended up ordering a 20" LCD 4:3 refrb for $75 shipped.

I modded my cab and took a full 12" off the depth since I don't need it for the crt anymore.  Glad I did...its so much less of a monolith now.
