Hello all,
My family and I have been doing some major house cleaning this week while I am still home from college. Old computers, printers, TVs, and other things are getting ready to be tossed. Even so, I got to wondering: is there currently anything CRT-related from the 1990's that has any value, even slightly?
In my particular case, some examples of the things being tossed are as follows:
1997 9" Sony Trinitron KV-9PT50
1990 20" Magnavox RS4390(?) (my childhood TV growing up, incidentally)
1990 5" Panasonic WV-5200B CCTV monitor (a repair project I did for fun a while ago)
2000 21" Dell-branded Trinitron Computer monitor (no pictures included)
This is meant as more of a general question rather than one regarding my particular stuff. I am mainly trying to educate myself in this area. Among newer CRTs (i.e. late '80's and onward) what tends to have value, if anything? (e.g. particular brands, larger or smaller screen size, certain features?).
p.s. Oddly, the one CRT we are keeping is actually the oldest: a 1980's Hitachi CT1912.
