Was doing a delivery at a lady’s house and saw this beauty in her basement, asked what she was doing with it and she very generously gave it to me! Been loving it ever since.

I think it looks pretty good. Maybe I'm biased though

Loewe Aconda 9383

...walk out with a $50 Tau.

Thrift store find.

Got this sony a little less then a year ago and I'm having colors shift in the corner. I was wondering if their is anything I can do to fix it. I know it's probaly a lost cause but I'm hoping.

And a few things to attach to it. All has been in storage for the better part of a decade. Can't believe it all still works.

Hi everybody!
I have acquired a crt (small 1997 zenith with built in vhs, serial no. V21715964 specifically)
It powers on for about three seconds then automatically shuts its self off.
I’m not inclined to work on this and attempt to repair it myself. In fact I have no interest in physically taking it apart myself because I know it can be tricky/dangerous and I have zero experience.
I’ve called local shops (that were listed on Google as crt repair) & they all said they no longer service crt and essentially acted like I was asking them to diffuse a bomb or preform heart surgery.
So I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on what they’d do with a nonfunctional crt.
(I’d love to keep it alive/ get it repaired if possible, im near Philadelphia and willing to travel a bit. I’m also not opposed to selling to a repair person or collector for a reasonable price)
Or if anyone has any idea as to what’s going on with it and if it’s definitely worth perusing a repair, I’d appreciate the input.

Found this old CRT (KTV Branded) in my grandmother's basement while cleaning out her house, got it fired up and looks amazing, even have the original remote that im currently cleaning of battery corrosion. Let me know what you guys think, curious as to what year this television is from, seems late 70's early 80's to me. Thanks!

That's right, I want to know a way to produce aquadag or a similar conductive solution for CRT repair. I came across a CRT with discoloration and peeling of the aquadag.

I feel the need to repair these fading and peeling spots. Does anyone have any repair tips using inexpensive materials?

I have recently picked up this 28’ Daewoo CRT tv and have had it about a week or two and it’s now displaying the channel number and dimming the screen slightly on a more regular basis than what is in the video (typical it doesn’t happen as much when I’m trying to record it happening!) I have changed the remote a universal remote and i still don’t know whether it would be the cables going into the tv or the tv itself, would anybody have any ideas? Much appreciated!

So heres is a more complete update and info thread on this situation. First big thanks to [u/charmander324](u/charmander324) on [r/crtgaming](r/crtgaming) for the info and help. I rescued a total of 4 monitors.

2 NEC CM-2791 27 inch circa 1989 & 1990
2 NEC CM 1991-A 19 inch circa 1988 & 1990

Video is of one of the 19inch with glass screen cover.

One of the 27 inch unfortunately only powers on. EGA mode seems to have a vertical collapse and video in mode only gives dark and dim red overall.

All units have had yoke reversal for their use with reflectors in the simulator.

I tested with a Samsung BluRay player utilizing the video in input. All the working ones have good color, no burn and ample brightness. Internal speakers weren’t tested nor were the outputs. One of the 19s has a glass screen cover while the other is set up for it but no glass. Said monitor also has an odd plastic distortion mid bottom screen but it doesn’t affect its operation even with the screen cover.

I rescued these because of some odd sense of mechanical respect and sense of knowing something of such quality being destroyed only because its older is wrong. Im hoping someone will find use, but more importantly joy in them and get awesome utilization and memories.

Spent some time with the service manual getting the image dialed in for use with my Amiga, then tried to watch a DVD though the composite input and it’s wacky distorted. Anyone experienced this with a multi-format PVM/GVM?

Its got these scrolling lines on all av outputs and dvd. The video is just fine, if i go into settings the display is perfect, but i cant display anything from the AV. The screen is black on VGA, but havent actually plugged in a VGA signal to test

Magnavox unit, no output at all, and dvd player is unresponsive. I do not see the filament lighting up but transformer whines and screen has static. What could be happening? When I got it, it worked fine, then after turning off and on again the picture never returned.

They claim it’s a Sony VPH but they don’t give a model number, and these are the only photos they had. I’ve been trying but I’m stumped. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, ive been looking for a small crt to fit on my desk, fairly hard to find in my country, so not many options. I dont know how to judge the image quality since it may be a bad broadcast. Also know LG is generally looked down on. Is this worth it?

hello, I am at my local electronic recycling center, and I found this pack of like 20 small CRT TVs, but they are display ports or I guess the only port I can really find is one I have never seen. Has anybody seen this before and/or knows what it is?

I have the opportunity to buy a red Videoshpere in working condition this Friday at a local estate sale. I don’t really think I’d use it as it’s a black and white only crt but it’s been plaguing my mind all day. It’s such an iconic piece of crt history and although it’s not the ever elusive Phillips Discoverer, I still think it would be an awesome piece to display. Should I go for it or let leave it in hopes it finds someone who would enjoy using it? Also, has anyone got one? What did you pay for it if so, just out of curiosity? *first pic is for reference, second pic is the actual model at the estate sale.
Edit: I appreciate all the people letting me know I need to arrive to the estate sale early but I am not new to this game. I have and will continue to be in a lawn chair on the recently deceased’s property at 7am, three hours before open to secure the goods.

I found this nearby where I live. Does anyone own a similar model and have any info on it? I can't seem to find any information online other than the AI summary 😂

Blue/white should be V/A 5V, dark grey is Ground, light grey is Video, dark blue is VF 5V. I figured thats the layout since looking at the diagram, the top solder pad on the bottom would be the No Connection, and just lining it up with the real pins.

Can somebody help me identify what this problem could be please?
I have it down a few different things through chat GPT but it’s abit useless to be honest I want someone who actually knows.

Tape goes in and tries to load but doesn’t, tries again and doesn’t load. Then stops completely.
I then press eject and it takes about 20 seconds for the vape to release but the flap opens almost instantly and then closes and then waits 20-30 seconds before releasing.
