The headline seems like clickbait, but it’s a meaningful write-up.
If you’re unclear about the value of CRT, this will give you some excellent insights. An analyst explores the Advanced Placement African American Studies course, that’s currently in pilot mode.
At day's end, I tied up the boat near a Canal & River Trust service shack: water, elsan, toilets and shower.
A shower! 🚿
I hurried from the boat to the CRT building in only my shorts, T-shirt and shoes, towel and soap in hand. (These places lack clothes hooks, so fewer items is better.) They did have a wooden bench, and a disabled grab handle that I used as a towel rack.
those who have worked on CRT AC/Main circuits: has anyone ever successfully converted a 240V UK monitor to 120V US? is this even possible?
scenario: about 15 years ago, an incredibly gracious person from the UK sent me their Amstrad PC/2086. both the PC and the monitor are wired for 240V, and appear to use non-switching PSUs.
rebuilding the PC to use a standard north american AT PSU is simple, and takes about 10 minutes.
the monitor, on the other hand, is unexplored territory for me. I've never worked on the input side of a CRT before. i've done plenty of flyback and cap replacements, but never anything to the AC circuit.
any amount of thinking out loud from people who have direct experience with the HV side of the circuit would be appreciated!
And if you use those terms, I will usually publically state you are "fucking stupid." If that offends you, then you are exactly what I refer to you as.
What #crt should I buy? I want a CRT for a retro computing project but I don't even know where to start. Are there any recommended ones that tend to stand the test of time more? Any that I should pay more attention to? The project would mostly work with monochrome black and white.
Reposting this toot myself because the original didn't include alt text, and I love these kinds of comparisons. Also added some hashtags and placed a period after the @ sign in the response as to not bother the original receiver of the reply with a post they've already read.
"@.vampiress people always forget that on actual CRTs there's LOADS of effective subpixels with the phosphors, so the output of 320x200 is essentially a WAY higher resolution being smoothed with blending. Even better CRT pixel art generally takes into account how the phosphors cause this effect visually and use it to pack WAY more detail into low resolutions than is possible at the same resolution with square LCD pixels! It's crazy in 2024 upscale hardware still doesn't translate it properly"
those with extensive CRT repair experience (edit: please, for the love of sweet jebus, don't reply if you are just guessing and haven't worked on a tube)
i picked up this Sony KV-8AD11 a while ago and it has been sitting on the repair pile. while i've recapped and restored a couple of dozen arcade & tube tv's, diagnosis isn't my strong suit.
what's causing the green hue running along the left side? it remains there even after the chassis has warmed up, and switching between RF and composite input makes no difference.
interestingly, the green hue does not show up on snow/static screens. is this something adjustable via the internal potentiometers, or will it require some PCB work?
We didn't have none of these new-fangled light-emitting doohickeys when I was young. If you wanted to see a picture on a screen back in my day, you'd point a 27-kilovolt death ray at your face, which came with a screen attached in front of it, and the death ray would light up the screen. This contraption somehow didn't kill us. Usually.
Living on a boat with a refillable water tank, I've learned to conserve water.
I wash daily but only shower once a week, because:
It's a waste to run lots of water over your body and then pump it overboard.
Human skin is great at keeping clean and oil-free without any help from Proctor & Gamble IF you let it recover from the chemical abuse of "body wash" etc.
I wonder, why does #VGA use synchronization pulses, and not a pair of sawtooth signals for controlling #CRT deflection directly? Then the display could change modes faster (nothing to resynchronize), and a non-sawtooth signal could be used to implement a vector display if desired.
There must be a reason why #IBM didn't do this. Anyone know why?
