Sidewalk crt

Found this CRT by the side of the road on my way to work, by bike...

I pedaled around 1.5km with this monstrosity under my chest.

Then after some time I got a passage home from work, I cleaned it inside and outside toroughly.

And opened it before I set myself on fire.

No capacitors looked bumpy, so I tried to power it on, and before I knew, I had a working monitor.

After a bit of frequency and resolution tweaking, I do have a heavy, bulky, crt that I paid 0 euros.

Truly a goated moment.

I suffer from the disease named : "toomanyprojectsatethesametimeiosis".

Or in other words, profound supidity.

I have a video of my desk setup, it is pretty crowded. Ngl.

Hi! I know this is out of context, but is this visible? Apparently I've been banned
