@@BritishEngineer Just for same reasons everything is made with and without automation. For niche products these seem to be - uncommon models for special equipment and/or vintage televisions - it is not economically feasible to invest in automation for such small production volumes. And for demonstration, showing manual production is way more sensible than automated process, where it would be more difficult to get a grasp of what is really done and how.

@@KrisRyanStallard it isnt about the age of the item though? it is about the overall cost of manufacturing. you are imagining much finer software, much more expensive hardware and much laxer workers' rights than what was reasonable to expect. you are ignoring the cost of throwing away perfectly serviceable tools, demolishing/renovating well-working buildings and firing educated and experienced workers in an effort to be more in line with the aesthetic hopes and dreams of people who are not part of the process. up until the mid 2010's most manufacturing around the world still had a lot of human hands in it. from silk flowers to car doors to chicken wings. why pay 15k on a specially calibrated virtual eye to sort out cracked bulbs and askew bolts when a human can be paid the same price to do that job and three others? it just isnt economical or practical to digitise the process of creating something when it is faster, cheaper(and at the time) less error-prone to have a person do the same work. gonna be frank, a lot of factory work _still_ relies on human hands for the beginning, end and occasionally middle bits of the manufacturing process also, i looked it up, in the year 2005 alone about 130 million crt televisions were sold. it wasnt a niche product by any measure

There is a second type of CRT that this and most things about CRTs never mention. Most CRTs use coiled electromagnets to move the electron beam. But there are other ones which use a pair of metal plates for each axis, so 4 plates in total, 2 for horizontal, 2 for vertical. These plates have a high voltage across them and since it's all electromagnetism, you can control electrons just the same with an electric field as you can with a mahnetic field. It just seems like smaller screens are more likely to use plates. Like something you would find in an oscilloscope. Which if you don't know what an oscilloscope is and you're interested in electronics or TV you should definitely look them up. They are really amazing devices. For something anyone with a couple hundred bucks can buy. But that's the future for ya. I guess Welp the power just went out for some reason so I'm gonna go preserve my phone's battery and get out of this pitch black bathroom lol.

There should be at least one recycling center somewhere near you (maybe a drive away but still there). Or, just try asking around. I'm sure some of your relatives or friends relatives should have some, usually older folks. Never pass up an opportunity to get one, if you see one on the side of the road then take it. I volunteer at my local recycling center and my dad has gotten to his limit and won't let me take any more home. It's heartbreaking to see all of these wood grain/retro/space age/potentially useful CRTs get processed into scrap and not be able to do anything about it. You could also check online. Don't use eBay as those are full of scalpers who charge too much. Try uncommon sites or craigslist, maybe try searching the net for individual people, many of them just want to get rid of them and don't want to pay to recycle them.

The weirdest part about CRT tech (and a lot of old analog tech) is how much more complicated it really is down at the basic componentry and mechanics. Like, LCDs and the pixels that have to be manipulated in them, the fundamentals make sense. Cool, got some RGB sub-pixels deflecting light from a backlight source at different levels off an excited liquid crystal layer that combine to form one single color to the human eye. Crazy, but you can wrap your head around it. But a freaking ray gun, set in a vacuum tube and offset hundreds of thousands of times per second over a general area of horizontal lines with magnets, just… my god. Watching that amazing video of the Slomo guys looking at how Mario gets refreshed on a CRT is just, like, na man. Too much. Too much tech. Yet we look back and it’s apparently the most primitive form of moving picture technology. I’ve always been obsessed with display tech and have a pretty cool collection of gizmos i build myself that use everything from Nixies to VFDs to LCDs to LEDs to OLEDs to Plasmas to blabla… but CRTs take the cake for “brain exploding imperfect analog concepts somehow mastered to be reproducible at scale”

This has to be a speciality shop making limited run tubes for specific replacement usage. An actual assembly line at the height of CRT usage wouldn't have had guys in lab coats and immaculate laboratory conditions.. This is more like watching someone currently making Nixie tubes by hand (which would have been an unworkable option when they were in wide scale usage).

Luckily for me Marie Curie got on with Hedy Lamarr, they could see my predicament and told me the bus driver wanted to check my ticket, which was a lie to prise me away from Hopper's infuriating computer speak. Hedy and Marie asked me to sit with them and ask me what I thought of their Radium powered torpedo. I pointed out a few flaws in their plans and said "if only we had some kind of liquid as white as paper that could be painted over these errors. A voice from behind suddenly said, "sorry I couldn't help overhearing, I am Bette Nesmith Graham and I have just invented the very thing you need. It's called liquid paper and I just happen to have a bottle, here have some". Unfortunately some guy stole their entire research budget and spent the money on diesel powered nuns. They were a disaster and he died penniless. I may possibly have made some or even all of this nonsense up.

A color TV set that used a CRT and magnetic deflection is one of the most complicated devices ever mass produced. For example, the CRT had three electron guns (red, green, blue). The screen had phosphor dots of three different colors, again red, green, and blue. The beam of each electron gun could be allowed to hit only the phosphor dots of its corresponding color. And the beams from the three guns had to be swept in unison over the entire screen about 60 times per second while keeping each beam precisely aimed at the corresponding phosphor dots. It is/was a sophisticated system by any standard you wish to apply and is made no less amazing because we now have solid state devices that can do the same job in a more straightforward manner.

The environment wouldn't really be in a worse condition, they'd make the same amount of waste a LCD would. Plus we don't need video games to be ultra-realistic and suck all the time out of our lives. I've actually played my XBOX One on a 1970s CRT and it's easily do-able. Plus, if they were still in production, CRTs could easily progress to give a better picture. HD CRTs exist. The only draw back to CRTs really is their size - but even then most TVs (if not on a wall) are in a corner where a CRT would go easily.

What they did not tell you, the thickness of glass has to be very thick and strong along the front screen part, CRT tubes are subjected to a very high pressure from the outside, as the tube has total vacuum, i.e. all the air is extracted by a powerful pump, there is no air left in them, so now you can work it out how much of the atmospheric pressure is acting on the front portion of the screen, a 25" diagonal CRT screen which roughly means approximately 20" x 15" rectangular screen occupies a surface area of 300 square inches, each square inch is subjected to atmospheric pressure of roughly 15 lbs (pounds) per square inch, so total pressure acting on that screen is 4500 lbs! that is approximately 2000 kilograms that in itself fascinates me. And don't forget the screen has to also take a lot of abuse as many people thump the poor thing when watching a programe that turns out disappointing, like if you were watching football, and your favourite team lost, you would probably punch the screen! And the other fact is we cannot see electrons, yet we have a mini hadron collider in the tube, where we emit tiny unseen particles, called electrons towards the screen and strike a phosphorus coating that emits a light when struck by electrons, and thereby prove that electrons exists, and that they can be boiled off a negatively charged cathode and accelerated to near enough speed of light and strike the screen, where energy is given off, if we were able to set up sensors all around the tube inside, we would have been able to detect many other particles given off when electrons strike the phosphorus screen, we would have been able to detect Higgs Boson, without having had to spend 2 billion Euros building that big particle accelerator, all that could have been done inside a CRT, probably your smart phone camera can capture higgs bosons emitted by your old 26" CRT TV. And don't forget using 10 to 15KV volts anode voltage, you would have been subjected to a fair amount of X-rays being emitted off as well, but these days we are exposed to a lot of Microwaves as most iphones now work on Microwave frequencies of 2Ghz or more, that is the same frequency our Microwave oven uses to cook food, though the doze we get is a lot weaker, but over a long period of time our brains are being slowly defrosted. But remember biggest revolution in science came from a bull, we first used a bull to use its mechanical energy, to run mills, do the farming, mine the minerals, drive bull carts, enable man to invent millions of other things so all started by a bull, we owe it to a bull, animals must be respected.
