well since my cats used my lcd as a litter box im thinking about bringing my old heavy ass crt out of retirement. the question is however is the it worth fixing it needs a new control board for the wheel that controls the crt options and prob a little work done on the tube or behind it.

Before you take up your time with repairs and hairpulling, which is a cost in and of itself, did you check your local craigslist to see if anyone is offloading them?

As a learning project it *may* be worth it, but otherwise i personally don't think it is.

I'm gonna second that one. I struggled to fix my old W900 CRT. I could never find the parts, and it's dangerous to tinker inside the case. Never could get it running, so I eventually picked up a 21" CRT in working condition on eBay. All good now.
