Tulpa | 3,488 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 "Jail issue." Means it'll stand up to a beating. Get it so when you freak out next time Gloves creams you at a shooter contest, you'll still have a TV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 IIRC the special thing about jail issue CRTs is that the casing is transparent so that nothing can be hidden in them. I couldn't tell you where I learned that from 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMR | 519 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I'm sure that set has seen a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,727 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Oh, I get it now. I honestly though the TV had an issue with "jail bars" on the screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't tell you where I learned that from Yeah, that's what's primarily special about them, beyond the cost being higher for such items due to lower production numbers for their specialized, "captive" audience. Depending on when you learned that factoid, it might have come via TechMoan on YouTube, as he did a video about a bunch of that sort of stuff a couple of years ago, including CRT tvs, cassette players, radios, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Reddit is a white dog poop hot over those green jail TV's because they match the jungle green n64. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link | 2,708 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Really, I thought the clear electronics thing was just a trend. We had clear handset phones too. Seems to go along with teenybopper girls with side ponytails in scrunchies and big crewneck sweatshirts more than wannabe prisoners slacking their pants, lol. Remember "Inside your PC" from Windows 98+? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it sell for $95? Can’t say but when I talked to the lady I got a vibe she wouldnt come down much. She showed me pictures of eBay listings for $120+ Like you said people get a rod for these and the theme crt’s. wouldt surprise me if it sold for $75+ Rf only lol not hating on Rf but that’s pricey for that quality signal. But can’t argue with matching the n64. Would look cool if nothing else. But then again n64 sucks anyway so who really cares about that?

docile tapeworm | 4,194 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 @Link got me with the prisoners. The straight clear sets I might buy the story of jailhouse but why would they supply the translucent green for prisoners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have gone on record as saying appliances and electronics are like people, it's what's inside that counts...well with this kind of TV you can indeed see for yourself what's inside!

Tanooki | 4,930 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 There's a doofus who has been trying to sell a smaller end CRT+movie combo for $100 or more for awhile now locally, she clearly has a valuable treasure that no one can possibly grasp the meaning of at this rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

360collector | 289 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Its a cool looking crt I would like to own it. It sure stands out, love the green. 95 bucks is a bit much but I dont know how rare they are out in the wild. I also have a slight want for some of those jail issue handhelds. If anyone can hook me up with a convict I will supply plenty noodles and soda money if he comes out with these things hehhe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
