« on: December 10, 2022, 12:47:44 PM »
Hello,

What does Sony Trinitron 24" or 27" go for these days?   and is Sony the best? My son is wanting a CRT for Retro gaming and Sony comes highly rated? 

Thanks everyone.

honestly, they're all over the place. your craigslist...your facebook marketplace. salvation army. goodwill. faith farm.

i won't pay for a TV. i was at a point where i had 10+ HDTV plasmas/lcd/led sets, and i cleared them out.

oh, i should probably say...recycling is part of laptops911.com. stole the idea from my previous job at greensite.com and sonystyle.com

i have a 48 inch 4K sony LED tv set. that some lady discarded...works 100%...oh, the rich, how you are so spoiled.

for me? i do it, but it's not allowed, and i don't care (because i do it in the spirit of reuse/recycle :)).
i go to SWA (household recycling center), and i bring old PCs or old printers to recycle. then, on the down low...i sing a little song:

"one PC for you, add a printer too.
 one TV for me. you will not see...
 clear out my stock, of stuff neglected
 and i'll legit fix and use, what you collected." ;)

I would say $35-$50 for a 27" Trinitron ; $10-25 for a 20" ; maybe max $100 for a 36",
(but those things are so damn heavy, most people should be paying you for taking it off their hands!)

I used to work in a TV shop and I personally thought Sony Trinitrons were the best.  there are all sorts of CRT snobs out there who will say Sony is trash etc - but I personally like them the best for number of inputs, color, brightness, sharpness, etc.

I have an  kv-27FS120 I'd sell for $50 in Panama City, FL if you don't mind driving down here to pickup.
( https://crtdatabase.com/crts/sony/sony-kv-27fs120 )

If I didn't have a ton of arcades with monitors, I would keep the 27" one I have. It has a great picture.
I Am still holding onto my 20" one that I can bring with me to fighting game tournaments etc.



Vids:
"Chewlix" Vewlix knockoff; Dynamo HS-27 w/ Area 51/MaxForce;  Strider (DE "Commando" conversion) ; Centipede Cabaret;  Tempest,  Irem "Madonna" ; Sega Blast City w/ MisterFPGA; Shinobi (Track&Field Conversion) ; Sega Naomi Universal with Piforce/Net Dimm;

FS: Centipede Cocktail (Millipede cocktail w/ arcadeshop adapter)

WTB/WTT: HOTD2 Dedicated; candy cab or candy knockoffs; Outrun cabaret

- I am a former TV tech and can repair and re-cap CRT and LCD monitors in my area.

I am moving and I have two 27" televisions that I'd rather not take with me.

One is a Sansui, the other is a Symphonic. Both have inputs in the back and in the front of the television (which is nice if you switch consoles often like I do).

FREE

Come get one in Jax.
