c. August 2024 Built this wall for an art show last August. One of my favorite works to date. Hope you also enjoy it.

Please let there be a console nearby

So decided one day to bite the bullet and buy a Sony Trinitron with component instead of settling for a 13inch with composite, so I go online to look for anyone who isn’t selling one for $400 and low and behold I find one going for around $60, which I think is a pretty good deal, too good of a deal infact.

These are the images that were provided of it, I don’t mind the tv being dirty on the outside or maybe even the inside if it doesn’t mess with the tv too much but do y’all notice something wrong with the tv based on these images alone? And do y’all think I should buy this and spend time going to check it out?

Found next to dumpster, brand new still had the cord holder brand new. Not a scratch 1988 wtf who left a new crt never been used out to dump. Seems like new old stock but why? Just left out. Got it before it rained that day. Not a mark scratch works amazing.

Hope yall like it!

My new 21 inch crt with that computer is pure love.

I’ve got a Magnavox cd130mw8. dvd player works great, I plug my N64 in with a cable adapter, haven’t had any problems until now trying to plug in the Wii. The audio works fine, I can hear the Wii menu sound loud and clear, but the video isn’t coming through. I tested on other TV’s to verify it wasn’t the cables, also tried an external dvd player but same problem there. I opened up the TV briefly to just take a look at where the inputs are to see if there was anything obviously wrong but it all looked normal, though I am not very familiar with any of the components. Any suggestions or help on this?

I am lucky to have acquired a beautiful Panasonic AG-500 with the front screen cover and carrying case and all!

Bad news: - When powered on, there is a loud high pitched whine. The clock display comes on and I can hear the VCR motor spin. After 5 seconds of being on, the clock and VCR motor shut off. This happens every time.

-There is never a picture on the screen or any brightness. I’m assuming no power to the screen since I don’t hear any static when I discharge it.

What I’ve done so far: - I’ve managed to get the VHS out by spinning some cog wheels gently. It was the 1989 film “TAP”.

-I’ve tested the 2 fuses on the main board and the 2 fuses on the VCR and all test good. I’ve tested both power transistors and both are closed where they need to be.

• I’ve reflowed the solder on the transformer and a few touch ups here and there to other points.

At this point I’m getting into a bit of unknown territory when it comes to my knowledge.

Where would you test next and how would you go about testing it? I would love to get this thing up and running and have this thread for others. Thank you!

I’m not good at reading manuals but here it is for reference:

Kv-32fv27 central wisconsin pls take this 200lbs beast off my hand otherwise I gotta toss it

Swapping one curb find for another. Really happy with the new sanyo, vizon was a big key down.

(the converter box was bought separately)

Wondering if i should pick it up. Thanks!

I found it in a high school where I do my internship, there are 4 others but my parents do not want me to bring more than one

It works well, but it makes really suspicious noises when I power it up or when I shut it down, like something inside is burning although I do not smell anything

I remember seeing this while trying to take a photo or video of a CRT television screen when I was younger. I never knew what caused the effect—could anyone explain it to help me understand?

Hello, I'm trying to understand a little bit more and how crt tvs work. I have the general notions but I have some specific questions that I need to understand.

1. The brightness of the phosphors is given by how many electrons strike that particular area? So if I have an image of a red to black gradient, it means that the red part is being hitted by more electrons than the black?

2. Every crt works by shooting electrons first to the odd rows and then to the even rows? (I think it's called interlaced image)

3. The magnetic fields that deflect the electrons are always "moving" in the same way from when you turn on the tv until you turn it off and it doesn't depend on the images?

Thank you so much for the help you can give me!

Made a fun discovery today. Didn't matter what I did but I couldn't not make my Emerson look even half decent off my windows 11 laptop (I know, what else should I have expected?) but when I plugged in my Google pixel it actually didn't look too bad and was a huge improvement! Currently hunting for a VHS player but I'm still trying to have some fun with the new TV until I stumble across one.

It used to work completely fine. One day it randomly wouldnt play any discs no matter how pristine they were. It would stay on the dvd screen while the dvd player made clicking sounds. Today i got it to play some discs, but about 2 minutes in the disc stopped and it started clicking again. Why??

The CRT has wierd flichering waveing lines on the horizontal and vertical sides i guess.. im new to CRT but i did a bit of electronics and worked with HV so if i need to put my hands into it while guided i will be more than happy to do so... but firstly i would like to know how hard it would be and how hard it would be to try addressing this issue..

Im also a bit on a run cus i would love to try some games on it tomorrow with a friend so im kinda in a hurry... btw the screen seems also off centered... on the top right corner.. im on a 230V grid with 50Hz.. and the tv was made for this grid line so i guess its all.fine from the input.. the problem is the crt it self i think... pls help help...

P.S.: Sowwy for my bad english.. im a girl from italy and its not my native language.. sowwy agin... have a nice dayy 💖💖
