Storing CRTs

Yes. That sounds like a good idea. It's well known that electronics love extreme temperatures and fluxuating conditions.

The how would one store a crt for a period of a few years practically

In a tucked away corner of a lived in space, where temperture is controled . The ideal situation is a guest room.

give it to me, i'll take care of it

I've seen literal bottom-of-the-barrel CRTs stored in sheds with zero electricity or temperature control in places where the summers will regularly be above 90 F for months and the winters will average around 15 F every night for 5+ years and they were fine.

Do you find it necessary to insert the word meme where it doesn't need to be?

They'll be fine. You could always get some boxes and some insulation if you are that worried

Preferably, you'd want to put them somewhere with relatively moderate conditions.

Low or high temperatures aren' -too- bad if you're just storing them, so long as they aren't running in those conditions or facing massive swings inbetween.

I don't have a manual for one of them handy at the moment, but I want to say that the manual for something like the 20F1U lists 30-80f as decent conditions. If you can leave them in a normal living space, or a climate controlled storage locker, that'd be more than enough. An uninsulated/finished garage? Not so much.

>kids from /vr/ unironically treat crts like they're some sort of ancient relic that needs care and constant maintenance
they're just electronics ffs, you can't call owning some old tvs a hobby

Don't fall for the meme meme.

My grandfather had a crt stored in his basement for 23 years (he forgot it was there) only discovered it when I was helping him clear out the basement last summer. Thing still works but was infested with spiders.

CRTs do need care though, i fucked up one by setting it right next to a bass amp i had for like a year and a half.

There are temperature controlled storage units. However, I don't know if you'd be willing to shell out the money for it. They aren't expensive, but a few years is quite a while. It might be cheaper to just rebuy them later down the line.

That's common knowledge you shouldn't do that. If you did, you're just a dumbass kid.
They are not some ancient relics that need to sit on 4 pillows.

i like how non-meme/non-hipster/non-kiddo posts get deleted ITT, like some reddit sub

You mean you didn't get a flight case with yours?

PVMs are meme monitors though. Most people can't tell the difference between them and a higher end consumer set but they fawn over them to avoid buyers remorse.
