I would say check thrift stores, but they don't usually bother with them any more IME.

Check out pawn shops. Could always be one there, or value village.

Sometime I'd like to get a really nice little CRT TV from towards the end of the era, like one of those ones that can do HD resolutions over component.

"the screen is drawn by a scanning electron beam that travels horizontally across each line of the screen from top to bottom. The Super Scope takes advantage of this in a fairly simple manner: it simply outputs a '0' signal when it sees the television raster scan and a '1' signal when it does not. Inside the console, this signal is delivered to the PPU, which notes which screen pixel it is outputting at the moment the signal transitions from 1 to 0. At the end of the frame, the game software can retrieve this stored position to determine where on the screen the gun was aimed. "

1. Awesome snag.

2. This is precisely why I keep 1 old (2000 model) SANYO 20" CRT in the basement.

Read what spirit_shadow wrote about how the gun works. A converter is of no use. An actual CRT needs to be used.

I remember when I was playing duck hunt and shit it was on one of those big wooden TVs that sat on the floor because they were so heavy. Aside from beside a dumpster I don't think I've even seen a CRT for probably over a decade. I remember when CRTs were going out of style there were those giant ass flat screen projection TVs. My god they were awful but they had huge ass speakers

I have a small one but I forget if it works. Should probably throw it out if not. I think there are a lot still out there, but thrift stores generally don't want to waste the space on them because they don't sell. But if you put up a craigslist ad that you were willing to pay $20 for one, you'd probably get lots of offers. Or check the curbs on the night before garbage day when the weather is nice. To most people it's a nearly valueless item.
