This was pretty fun to watch. But also kinda hearbreaking. That thing isn't going to last forever. The longer this goes the less excited I am about someone figuring out how to make CRTs as a boutique thing for nerds, but it's also a thing that should happen, even if I'm past my personal vinyl moment where I would overspend like crazy for it.

They don't have to figure it out. It's well documented.
