Likely not in working condition.
So he hasn’t tested it?

I’m pretty sure it’s the one visible behind the TV. So instead of disposing of the TV through the proper ways, the previous owner just buried it in the back yard and called it a day. Or maybe he needed 0,5 m³ of soil and used the TV to fill in the hole.
Current owner desecrated a grave you say
The metaphorically real hole
Linux should work.
They should going and see if Trevor Jordache is down there too.
That looks more like a rear protection than a CRT.
Just needs a little dusting!

I can’t get over the unbitten Apple logo
Poor franky-poo :(
Waow that’s dirt cheap
So this is how they find things for those restoration videos on YouTube.
It’s a projection TV, does not worth the hastle…
I don’t believe so, I think I’ve “dug up” one of these before. It looks like a samsung h034m30
What do you mean you “dug up” one before?
I used to clean out houses, so I would come across a ton of CRTs. Id clean them up and sell them
Probably also new enough to have a non-point-focusing Fresnel lens. Which is enough to focus sunlight into a pot and heat it up decently fast, but not to make a sharp death-beam to liquify metal. That’s the most valuable part of a projection TV nowadays, and although you could get a sizeable trapezoidal mirror and some lenses, plus dichroic glass out of LCD ones, those are not nearly as fun.
I think that by removing the mirror, screen and case, a working one could be made into a half-decent projector but very limited in where it can be placed in the room to focus (about 1 diagonal away from the screen and dead center because of no keystone) plus you’d have to make a fire-resistant electrically safe case for the unshapely thing that blocks any light from the lamp/CRTs but isn’t too big as to block your view any more than the bare device already does.
Do you have the receipt?
