Submit a CRT

Update 7/2/2026 If you are still waiting on a status update for a past submission, there is no need to reach out to us. We have two new submission reviewers who are working diligently through the current queue of submissions. If you believe you are knowledgeable enough to fact-check, categorize, and revise user submissions to the quality standard currently on existing CRT Database listings and would like to help us, please reach out.


Welcome! Please read all of the following information before using this form.

Below you can fill out info to submit a new CRT to the database. This form is a new and improved version which now inputs the data directly into our site after moderator approval.

Only a handful of fields are officially required, but we ask that you try to fill out as many fields as possible, with the information available in service manuals, owner's manuals, and old magazine articles etc. **Firsthand sources whenever possible.** Please don't guess any field values - we only want verified information in the database. If you don't provide a decent amount of specifications about the CRT we may not accept your submission.

In some dropdown fields, you can add a new value by first entering the new value into the Search field and then pressing the + (plus) button on the far right. If you don't see a + button, that field is locked to preset values from us, and you aren't allowed to add a new value to that field and you are only able to pick from existing values available. If you think you found a new value that needs to be added to these locked fields, you can include that in the Notes field below.

Submissions must be manually approved by a moderator before they will show publicly, so that all information can be vetted for accuracy and quality. Submissions which do not meet our standards will be rejected - if you provide your email address you will recieve an notification on approval/rejection.

  • Please include clear photos of the front, side(s), rear I/O, and label - stock photos from brochures or magazines are allowed. Submissions without decent photos will be rejected.
  • Internal pictures of the tube, flyback, and other parts are appreciated but practice proper safety - if you don't feel comfortable, then don't open your CRT.
  • Use suggested field values whenever possible - only add new values if you are confident the value does not exist yet in the database.

Thank you!

-The CRT Database team.

Click to reveal instructions for UPDATING AN EXISTING SUBMISSION

If you already submitted an entry which is not yet approved (or rejected), you can add or modify any of the field data by resubmitting just those fields below. You must enter the same model number, series, brand, and author name in order for the previous submission to be linked to your new one. If you do not provide all four matching pieces of data, your changes will count as a seperate submission.

You can update anything, even add images, The only thing you can't do is remove images. If you need images to be removed from your submission, you can reply to the approval/rejection email notification or reach out to us on Discord.

Yes, you need to re-fill out all required fields even if they don't need to be edited on the original submission. Note that whatever values you use here will get transferred into the final submission, so don't just enter garbage values.

Any blank fields in the form will be ignored during the update.

Any multiple choice field data will be merged with the existing multiple choice data.
