scoobs22:
You truly have my deepest sympathy. I've only got one CRT and I'll be devastated whenever it buys the farm. I hope you find a solution that makes you happy sooner rather than later.

In the short term, maybe look at this little device on Amazon https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V2ULHBS/. I've bought one and used it a bit in my bedroom (no CRT in there), and it's serviceable with the original consoles, if not ideal. Right now I run an AV Famicom (composite) and a 3DO (S-video) through it. For the cost, it's a good temporary solution if nothing else.
sylhardware:
I would suggest getting a RetroUSB’s AVS. It seems to be the best long-term solution today (apart from the non affordable Analogue NT Mini) and it is more accurate than emulation. I would love Analogue to redesign a new NT though, with a plastic case and HDMI only, to reduce cost.

(EDIT: just realized you talked about your other consoles too. I have an OSSC and I am very happy with it, but it requires some consoles to be modded either for RGB or component)

Also meant to mention that you can always run your consoles through a cheap-o passive switchbox to send one of many composite or S-video signals to the converter at any given time.

Personally, I've got every system I own hooked up to my Framemeister and am quite happy with the results but it's taken me years and years to be able to piece together a setup without breaking the bank. I like having it for the ease of being able to hook up everything from composite video to HDMI through a single HDMI output. In your case, I'd try hunting down a new CRT. There are times I wish I still had my CRT but for me a one TV setup is more convenient.
