This is not what he expected, it needs a LOT of Deoxit shot into its' various potentiometers and it DESPERATELY needs an IF alignment, in addition to convergence tweaking and a new CRT (you can NOT repair cataracts on a rectangular CRT, ONLY circular ones)!

Gonna keep rehosting shango066's content here until my house's renovations are finished, at which point I'll then make LOTS of original electronics content.

The Zenith that the featured Motorola sits on makes me wish I had a 19" Chromacolor, maybe someday.....

@Shin: Its different for what I would watch and out of my depths now if I can watch sexy Waifu Tittys on 4k or better in High Definition Detail and on Old school TVs Fuck Yeah I could learn a thing or two about Electronics and Circuit boards and LEDS and just before boredom kicks in, Those old school TVs are the best they Last a really Long Time these modern digital trash break down so fast and their wiring is a clusterfuck nest and confusing not worth the time.

@DIOSUNBALLZ_TALICHAD: This. Glad I trashpicked the ones I did! Got my sights set on a 19" Zenith Chromacolor/Chromacolor II tabletop, a 19" Philco-Ford color from the early 70s, and a 19" Magnavox color also from the early 70s, to go with a Magnavox Odyssey I'm trying to get for my dad.

Never thought I'd see a vid from one of my favorite, yet obscure, electronics channels from youtube pop up on here. Well done.

I remember the first computer monitors - they were big and heavy and took up a HUGE volume - now the 27" monitors, are LED lit, run on 28W, are huge enough, very thin and weight like 5 Kg.....

Fuck having 10 tons of electron gun on the desk...

I have a 1993 CTX CVP-5468A I pulled out of E-Waste, 14" dot-mask CRT (13" viewable), goes to 1024x768 at 60hz max, works great with my IBM ThinkPad 380D

It's surprisingly not that large, certainly nowhere as large as my first ever CRT, a 1997 Dell UltraScan (model I think was 17TX if I remember correctly, pretty big but not the largest CRT monitor, other than some distortion on the right side it still works pretty damn well)

Even then, my desks are HUGE and at LEAST 1" thick, so they can handle the weight, but oh boy do video games look GREAT on them! Especially the one I use with my ThinkPad, as the ThinkPad has a dying LCD, and I like trying to go for era-accurate setups whenever possible.....

Restoring old things is a great IQ raising exercise... but as things age, they wear out and fall apart more, and the things of long ago, get replaced with cheaper, newer, lighter, more clevera, and better things... AND so the old parts are harder and harder to get.

I have noticed that all the old "Radio Shack" style stores, have gone, as the surface mount compoents, and programmed chips, instead of circuits saturated the market....

No more fixing shit with a multimeter and a soddering iron....
