Someone a couple hours away is selling the Sony XBR960 with the stand for only $50. It's widely considered like the holy grail of CRT tech. But it's HD, so it won't do light gun games. I've already got a great LCD TV in my game room, and a 24" Sony that DOES do light guns. Part of me wants to pick it up just so it doesn't get trashed or recycled. Preserve something that's just that awesome. Don't know if I'd even be able to use it much though --- End quote --- No way I would pay $50 for that. At this point, I wouldn't take any TV like that if it isn't free. Most people just want to get rid of these TVs and they are getting difficult and expensive to throw away, so there is no reason to charge anything if someone is willing to pick them up. It's a different story is the person is willing to deliver and help move, but even then, no way I would pay $50. That's just me though. --- End quote --- It is considered e-waste here and you can get a hefty fine if it is not disposed of properly. The TV must be electrically discharged and a lot of places charge you money for old CRT disposal. The county got tired of Trash catching fire when a CRT would spark a flame. |

The screen can't be digital at all. So if there's HDMI inputs on it, I'm pretty sure you're out of luck. --- End quote --- Correct. If it's one of those wide screen Sony Trinitrons, I can confirm that they will not work with light guns. I used to have one and I loved it for component based systems that used widescreen (like PS2, Xbox, Wii, etc), but I still prefer a regular 4:3 Sony TV for the older consoles and light gun games. If I had the room, I would have kept it and used a 3 TV setup, but unfortunately, I had to give it away and stick with my 2 TV setup. --- End quote --- ok I am interested do you have a picture? --- End quote --- I gave it away a while ago. Also, it weighed just shy of 200 lbs. --- End quote --- I meant of the current setup |
