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

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.
