Sony Trinitron KV-1201 score

I think I'd go the used CR70 route. If you own several old TV's or plan on owning more old TV's in the future, the CR70 would pay for itself. It wouldn't take many trips to the TV shop to eat up what a used CR70 would cost. I believe the CR70 cost over a grand when it was new. I suspect there will be many quality CRT testers available for a very reasonable price in the near future since CRT's are being phased out.
