I have the second largest, and 25 others, hooked up in my garage, fed by a modular synth, a pc, retro consoles, and several DVD and VHS players. Would still probably trade it all for one of these.
CRTs are literally precision particle accelerators in glass vacuum tubes we mass produced and put in peoples homes just to electronically reproduce entertaining images, and there is not a factory left on earth that can make them anymore.
It is some of the wildest shit humans have ever done.

Edit: Reddit claims that Thomas aren't really a CRT manufacturer.

No tube manufacturers exist, though some refurbish old tubes and pair them with new electronics.
