Alright fellas, I got my hands on this bastard; a Thoshiba 27AF25.

I was searching all over NY craiglist for listings on Toshiba models similar to this one all night into the morning with no success. Huge coincidence; that day, this guy was 2 blocks down from my house on the curb with a note stating "IT WORKS." So of course I had to haul this fat fuck by hand back home. Despite it being out in the rain for a 1 hour sunshower, I've read it's nothing to worry about if I manage to thoroughly dry it out before powering. You'll notice the markings on the corner from when I placed it down awkwardly causing it to fall on its side from about a 2ft drop onto cement. Thankfully the screen seems unscathed. I've had a similar situation with a 40" Trinitron and that had no affect on the several years I've owned it.

Anyhow, I've yet to power it on. I may open it up to attempt a clean and blowdry on the components, if necessary. If all goes well and it works, the endgame is to reach out to a nearby mod service in Brooklyn and ask if they'd RGB modify it... if I can keep luck on myside.
