The other option is simply to replace your old CRT with another old CRT if it's cheap enough, either new or used. But wait --- didn't you say you fixed your current set with a b!tch slap on its side?

Well yeah . . . I did inherit a 30-something inch Toshiba about the same age from some tenants who left, and in the meantime it's become said friends' bedroom TV-- I asked about getting it back and didn't get a definitive answer (my own resolve to have to transport the damn thing was fairly weak anyways). Would also like an LCD for greater ease of moving to the living room when needed.
