Re: 19VLUP22

Oddbal? It seems to be, at least in Europe.

A friend of mine runs a company who recycles ALL dumped electronics from the
city of Amsterdam. That means they have +/- 1000 garbage TV sets passing by each
*week*. Ofcourse I am looking there every week to find *ANY* 19" 100 degree
tube. I could not find even ONE. All 19" tubes are 90 degrees, and all 100
degree tubes are at least 20".

Ofcourse, in Europe, most TV's scrapped of that age are made by Philips (or
similar)...

It would maybe help if any of you guys could tell me which other brands used
these tubes, AND were sold in Europe (obvously NOT RCA :) )

Cya !
