Nice, but what are the odds of finding something with a CRT these days?

Tip of the day:

If you have a lot of Pis to fiddle with, including different configurations on SD cards and drive sticks, use this to generate the system name in ascii art, and stick it in /etc/motd with a list of major packages installed as a reminder.

Thrift stores still have small CRTS in the electronics aisle. And of course it was easy to connect - the ‘yellow RCA plug’ NTSC video standard was a standard not just on the outside connectors, but also inside the boxes.
