If you really must repair a CRT, that means the CRT is worth a lot, either in price or quality

This one isn't (it is 22" though and has a nice image) , but 1) I have it and 2) I can use it for learning how to do it instead of doing it on an actual expensive monitor. Also, if I manage to fix it, I will be able to have it as a spare and won't need to go, buy and bring back another heavy monitor just so I would have a decent spare.

No, you connect it to the pins at the back of the CRT (the electron guns) and it can show you whether the CRT is not worn out or has internal shorts. It can try to remove some shorts as well (this was the primary reason I got it - I have a monitor where the CRT has an intermittent short)..

Just patting myself on the back. I know what this post means!

 

I myself purchased a...wait for it...Vacuum cleaner! Got a small Bissell to keep in the basement, instead of carrying the main vacuum up and down the stairs.

(actually, my husband bought it...Same thing, since I told him to!)

You're one step ahead of me, I only think I know what this post means ..

I finally bought a poster framed for my SW poster! Unfortunately there’s only one at the store so I have to wait to get the second one for my other poster. 

But damn, it looks hella good on my wall!

My recent purchase is a Micro USB to USB A adapter (a rigid one, over the floppy ones I bought before and have broke within weeks)

I got the Original Dungeons & Dragons reprint box that Wizards of the Coast made a few years ago.

I've ordered some colorful glass spheres for cosplay props and my themed wedding cake.

Big Star Wars fan, and I especially love my Stormtroopers, so I bought this... Barbie?

Felt a little strange buying a Barbie but I really like what they've done with this Stormtrooper-inspired look.

 

[Fluttershyfan94 5,737]

I bought animal crossing yesterday yes.

[AJ2489 2,855]

I bought a bluetooth speaker. Completely randomly but who needs a reason to blast Waylon Jennings on max volume all day XD

I bought a really nice leather jacket on ebay with the Disneyland crest on it. It’s too warm to wear it until fall or winter, but that’s probably why I got such a nice price.

They have a whole range of them, they released the first wave last year which included the Darth Vader one, I thought they were really cool but wasn't ready to start adding dolls to my figure collection. That changed late last year when I discovered Disney's 17" Limited Edition ones, and when Mattel announced the Stormtrooper Barbie I just had to have it.

Last thing I bought was a strawberry-banana smoothie. 

[TotallyNotNyx 15,563]

See I haven;t left my house in 3 months, so I haven;t bought anything in that time 

[Tropical Melody 5,078]

Concerned Bystander reacted to 'I bought this' posted 21st January

I bought this!

4 months later, I'm still rebuilding it!

 

[Splashee 28,537]

I haven't bought anything in a few weeks now. Mostly because I don't want to travel to the post office to stand in the Covid-19 line.

 

However, I have gotten a lot of insulators that would cost quite a lot. It is good to know where to be at the right time.

Wow, they are spendy, but oh so beautiful! I love the Chewbacca and R2-D2 ones best. I never wanted to get too deeply into collecting the Barbie dolls, as much as I love them (too many to keep up with), but I may have to make an exception!

Not too long ago I bought an XP pen graphics tablet. It's pretty decent actually and better than the wacom tablet I had I dare to say. Its a medium sized one and my third tablet.

To be honest, I always wanted to get a Dreamcast growing up but never got around to doing so. Today that changes.

[TBD 17,228]

I always wanted to own men's jumpsuit, so I finally find two at a really good price! Also finally got my hand on Harry Potter X Vans shoes on sales

This strangely makes me think of something Lady Gaga would wear?  Maybe it's the hair, the pose and the sunglasses that makes me think of earlier Lady Gaga???
