you will have to do the REDDIT leg work but..............
if you watch the vid you will see the channel or sub channel of that community that fights over access to CRT sets for gaming.... 
i am also interested in this because to be honest  i had no idea this event / technology merger was even happening.

if you are really into tv's,, shango66 on youtube is a good resource and appreciates them. although not as many years as most around crt's,, he is absolutly hats off hands down a good steward to this tech and he troubleshoots really well.

i learned more from him about how to technically handle the silver mica issues on IF transformers from him than even here. he has so many vids to handle the silver mica problem and each time he does it the same exact way and it proves out you can not just start with 50pf caps and get it right.. there is a real science to it. To be honest i am very amazed that there is very little documentation on silver mica from the OEM's and how to actually deal with it. perhaps silver mica problems took decades to happen and maybe they had no idea it would even be a thing.


anyway,,,
your comment kinda reminds me of the "mistake" versions of the Radio  ..  BAOFENG UV-5r,  that only a lucky few have in thier grubby paws.
id love to find one...........  it does things ,, hears things and stuff that us ordinary folk aint supposed to be able to do.
