So few months ago I answered a Freecycle add of someone giving away several CRT's total number was actually 10!
When I arrived had a good chat to nice old guy who had worked in a CRT industry clearing out his storage unit.
He told me he had already given away a truck load of TV's to a museum but they didn't want the screens.
He was also surprised about the amount of interest the post had got. I already had 2 CRT's, both in storage as don't have the room so was mainly after a small 14" I may be able to squeeze on my current setup.
However I told him, I'll collect any he doesn't manage to give away at the end.
Week or so later he got back in contact saying no one else came! 🙁
So I've no use for this many CRT's so if anyone want's to come collect any you are more then welcome!
Most are in average cosmetic condition with yellowing, scratches and marks. I haven't cleaned any of them up so they may scrub up better after a good clean.
Each have been given a 5 minute test and have a good clear image unless noted.
I'm not going to ship, it's collection only! Located in CM15 (Between Romford and Chelmsford Essex)
I don't mind holding on to them till end of Sept, but priority given to whoever picks up first.
PM if interested

The CGA, Hyundai and LG came from other posts so are in a bit better condition.

17" generic brand that showed no signs of power and already given away on Facebook Marketplace, apparently to be used as prop in a movie
15" "RM" branded monitor which flickers green but that's about it.
and a 2nd Iiyama Vision Master 17 which is bit of a shame but was the worse of the 2 cosmetically so at least there is that.
