    Guys I know I'm like a broken record but there is an unending free supply of crts in your local recycling centre.

    You mentioned the Ballymount centre before. I've seen the cages in question where the CRTs get stored, do you just pull one out, pop it in your boot and head on your way?

    I always ask one of the guys nearby and they always say yes.

    Used to be the "small electrical" bin was there too and your could get old consoles. Now the small electricals are in a container over the barrier and everything gets smashed up when thrown in.

    Bray recycling centre was always full of CRTs but they had them in a massive cage people just chucked them into..So it they were working before they went in they definitely weren't after they hit the cage.

    I remember seeing some nice looking Sony pro monitors at the bottom of it before. :/

    Spotted an exceedingly rare CRT in a property listing. It's only 3 mins from my house I'm tempted go over enquire.

    I don't know if I have space but I might try find out. Was googling seems they only made 200 of these in the 70s and 200 in the 90's. Might save it from landfill. House is up for auction suggests maybe the owners not there anymore but who knows.
