All the comments I get telling me I’m “lying” about free CRT’s are frustrating. Literally EVERY TIME I go to my transfer station, I find CRT’s that work perfectly. Sometimes other great old electronics too.

Sadly most of the ones in Europe don't let you take stuff now, for various reasons including electrical safety or in the case of one I visited on the weekend, staff intimidation by organised gangs (e.g give us good stuff to look at first or we attack you).

i mean... lying to what end lol. Like to perpetuate the big free crt conspiracy? Just to screw with people? I think some people are living too deep within their main character syndrome and just assume because they've never seen it personally it doesn't exist. They need to get a grip on reality.

It's not "Free" but I got my widescreen CRT for $10, which is as good as free!

in my country you can no longer find CRTs anywhere. maybe some of those people live in countries like that.
