What could you possibly be doing with that many CRTs?

Wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts about that use application. I have a few TVs which won't be good candidates for RGB modding but have CR23 tubes and yokes with impedance not too far off the mark from similarly sized arcade monitors, and buying replacement chassis boards gets expensive if you want "real" ones.

Well...First Mike, I been collecting Tvs long before it was cool, they are perfect in the sense they don't have any burn, And in the real world you know as I do, lowball offers are a real thing.. Soooo, get cheap with Jenn, and you get what you pay for, A hacked receiver, a universal, or the real deal....Now Arfink, Those boards were actually quite popular on 8 liners, but secretly they have kind of a washed out appearance and have quite limited adjustments in comparison making it difficult to dial it in, although they usually get there, A real board and LCR yoke mods are a far better soulution.(IMO)
Mike A:
You sell dozens of CRT monitors? Where do you sell them. Sorry. I am curious.
jennifer:
Jenn would be curious too, at face value that does sound kinda messed up I guess...No, don't sell monitors per se, but do make games out of them out of old cabs, after I template them...Technically I should be keeping the originals I suppose since they have the serials on them, But a well done clone is just as fun to me...As for the Tvs, Jenn has mountains of them never counted them but literally multiple 100s. Not counting original tubes and chassis...Recently I have been doing color vector conversions from them, by rewinding the yokes to match deflection with horizontal winding (not as hard as it sounds) and effectively changing the boards from a raster flyback, to vector HV, and deflection...I know shadow mask Bla,bla, from the non believers around here, but with proper conversion ya it is not a problem...And soonly I hope will be up into the 27"-36" ranges of not only raster games but...Get this...Color vector!
