If it works, it's probably priced about right. CRT value going crazy with people trying to save them for retro gaming. And this one's transparent, extra cool points.

Closer to Atomic Purple than most other CRTs!

How dare everyone have nostalgia at the same time as me :(

I luckily held onto a couple CRT TVs. Sadly no pc monitors though. At one point I had like 5. Psycho family member burned all my PCs a few years ago. Can't find a single PC CRT for under $400 now. And can't ship em either...sad

Anyone who comments starting with "just" is quite annoying.

"Just have them build more CRTs bro"

That said, yes, they are very repairable !

Just comments are always superior to unjust comments.

(hmm, I haven't disproven the point at all, though, have I? hehe)

I know a retro gamer, and yeah, they'd snap this up. Easier, and safer, than cruising the streets on garbage day looking for one.
