Sign up for door dash Uber eats and then don’t actually use them. Eventually they’ll start throwing promos at you. Latest one I got was $25 credit with no fees and free delivery. I can’t even get it in person for as cheap as their promos. I figure the pandemic business is down and they’ve got venture capital to burn.
I’ve eaten so much dumb, weird stuff for almost nothing. Some place here has a humanoid robot that makes noodles, that was fun. Another promo was $50 off $100 in groceries and they were honoring in store sales. Got a mountain of steaks and shrimp. It was actually borderline obscene.

works except degaussing circuit is weak.
Have to turn it on and off a few times to get rid of the rainbow in the corners.
intertubes says its an easy fix.

Good get, but if you intend to use it with light guns test before building anything. I had a Trinitron that had built in video processing that couldn't be turned off and it prevented light guns from working correctly.
