Possible Avenue for CRTs

I find the odd '100Hrtz' CRT tv.
Its basicly got a twice as fast screen refresh rate, rather than updating the sceen at 50 times a second, its 100 times a second. In NZ we have a 50hz AC power setup.

Are these CRTs worth money to gamers who want flicker free screens?

I can honestly say I've never come across them. They may be worth something. I'm also guessing the rate is controlled in the board at the end of the tube if so, the MAME community would eat those alive. Seems to be a heavy shortage of tubes and electronics.

Wb to the forum btw.
