Do the lenses out of old projection TVs have any interesting use or
value?

What is it's diameter?

I have: 3", 3.5", and 4.75" in diameter.

If they have decent achromatic qualities, they could be used to make a
short focus refracting telescope. I'm sure the focal length is quite short,

I've never seen one. More than one lens inside?

The latest ones are single lens while the `5 yr old ones are 2 or 3
lenses...
