Any advice on what I can do with my CRT.

[admin_exported]

Most people on this board must of gone through this problem, you have a shinny new LCD/Plasma telly but you have a perfectly fine CRT screen that is now surpless to requirements..

I can wack it in the Bargin Pages and MAYBE get £10 for it but that is more hastle than its worth.

I could take it down the tip but that greaves me to throw away a working Telly that cost nearly £1000 10 years ago.

Anybody got any other ideas/advice.

Use it in another room or give it to a friend/relative maybe. I certainly wouldn't bin it!

I'd try Freecycle - you won't get any money, but your CRT could go to a good home. I know someone recently who used this and their TV got picked up to go to an old folks' charity

Gave mine to a friend not too long ago (for ages just had two setup in my living room so I could have Sky Sports News on the CRT whilst doing whatever on the other).

Trust me, someone will be very happy to have it so don't just bin it.

Sold my 28" Philips on eBay for £41. Always worth a shot.

You could always see if a local charity shop (such as the British Heart Foundation's electrical stores) will collect it.

Sold my old Panasonic CRT to friends a couple of years ago. They still have it, and are very happy with it. Needed a new power supply at one point, but otherwise still going strong.

Don't sell it to a friend, give it to them.

Then when they say what a great picture is, say ' you robbing swine, you got that for nothing, I told you it was good, where is my 10th pint of bear you grabbing barsteward'

Hmmm
