> Opening up CRTs is dangerous. Do this at your own risk. Considering hiring a professional instead. Hire a professional. To fix a quarter-century-old monitor that was nothing special when it was new. Why? I mean, I wouldn't bother fixing the thing anyway, but hiring somebody is going to cost you more than a much better brand new monitor. |

There are folks out there who spend their time fixing unexceptional cars such as old Ford Orions, Austin Metros, VW Golf Mk 3's (poverty spec) and so on. In their day these were the most boring of the mundane mass market motors you could buy.
But it's about capturing and snapshotting a point in time. Sure this particular monitor was probably crap, but combined with a same period Mac it's a time capsule.
You might think it's a waste of time, for others it's a hobby/past time. And it's one less thing in the landfill.
