The Macclesfield Canal has broken through its bank. This is called a breech. Or is it spelled breach?
It's pants either way.
(That's a pun only Brits and Aussies will understand. Breeches are a type of trousers. The expression "it's pants" means "it's unpleasant". A breach is a rupture.)
For comparison, last year's Lancaster breach cost £1,600,000 to repair.

It''s always wild to me when I see regular everyday CRT TVs being sold for real actual money on Marketplace, with "TRINITRON" in all caps in the title. People are actually spending $100+ on the kinds of TVs that were in a large chunk of living rooms as recently as when the PS3 dropped.
I have to assume these are younger people getting into vintage gaming, reading online about how Trinitrons are the be-all-end-all of CRT TVs, but somebody really needs to tell them that these aren't the Kirby's Adventure of CRT technology; they were the best from the late 60s to the very end, and many are still kicking in basements and play rooms, ready to be given away for free to the first person who offers to carry them up the stairs.
If you are determining the value of an item from eBay listings, you are going to have a bad time. I promise you they made more than 12 copies of MUSHA back in the day. I'd be willing to bet they even mass produced them for a time.
Do you like classic CRT monitors? Now you can simulate them on YouTube with this fantastic plugin and enjoy retrogaming longplays even more.

I'm re-watching season four of The X-Files and taking a guilty pleasure in enjoying all the computer effects which appear on monitors and other screens.
More posts will eventually follow from season five.

@Shrigglepuss Unfortunately I can't commit, but it would help if you could list sizes and models and tag with #crt #crtgaming #retro and #retrogaming. You're likely to get hits that way.
I agree - would be good to find homes for them!
I bought the requisite switchbox about 13 years ago, and finally today found and ordered a clean looking SM124 paper-white monochrome CRT monitor for the Atari 520ST, from eBay. (Shipping in original box with original foam, so it seems possible it will survive the trip across the U.S.) (Knock on wood)
It looks like there's JUST enough room atop this A520 STation to fit them both, if I move the HxX2001 into one of the (disconnected) drives' spots in the stand.
I had both an SC1224 and an SM124 on my original 520ST setup back in 1987.
Will post some pics when it's all setup.
They got a tiara for their CRT.

Well, well, well, what do you know... I actually beat the game after all these years! It feels great!

Remember playing this in the 1990s and loving it.
Still holds up (in my book, at least).

☭ Anyone remember pressing their nose to a CRT television and seeing the RGB grille?
Had a dream I was looking at my cellphone. I eventually scrolled to an image that had sort of a CRT grille effect filter, except...
It looked odd, so I instinctively pressed my nose against the cellphone screen.
Whomever had made the image had hidden extra visual information within the image. It felt like one of those magic eye images but on steroids.
I took a photo of some movie that was on TV about 10 years ago, seeing what looks like an Acorn computer of some sort on the desk, and this is what I got. I'm not really sure what's going on here and I'm equally unsure if I want to know.
Whee there it is! Been hunting for this vintage analog video switch IC for quite some time. The composite inputs of my 37” multisync CRT, a Mitsubishi XC-3715, about to get repaired!
If you’re not into videogames, esp. anything retro, this CRT is like peak wet dream for any of that. Besides the 15kHz analog video stuff, the screen can also handle 800*600 VGA

Came across this 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 collection I had to share.
'MrJackio' has a full set up for their analog visual arts studio - and it is a #RetroBattlestation paradise.
All are used for specific projects that require different #design and #art styles. I love that the closet is stuffed full of #CRT displays and camcorders, too. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 is dedication to a design principle and aesthetic!
Honestly gives me strong #CassetteFuturism vibes.
My fav? That an #Amiga computer can still have use!
