The cathode-ray tube (CRT) television technology ruled the living room for decades before it got dethroned by today’s flat screen TVs. They were bulky, unwieldy and heavy things but we all loved them for certain. But now that LCDs and OLEDs are fast becoming the ubiquitous TV display all over the planet, you’d think most people will readily scrap their old but you may be wrong. There are groups of people who are holding on tightly to their CRTs and some are even petitioning for their return to production. And if you’re into retro designs, you’d certainly appreciate the old designs of these TVs. So yes, there is certainly still a market for anyone with CRT TV repair skills especially for those who have such analog preferences in their televisions. This page is a collection of online resources, a directory, that provides useful information pertaining to CRT TV repair. (This is a work in progress and will update as I find more resources)
