The amount of tube TVs I saw on the side of to road in the US a few years ago was depressing, especially since I knew there was nothing I could do for them. They were all too large and I’m not confident enough to try any repairs on anything that potentially dangerous.
I’m glad you were able to save this one!
Even the people I know that are otherwise relatively tech savvy don’t do this.
Not to say it’s a good operating system, though.
