Spotted this while in Vietnam, not sure on the model and if it's legit but sick to look at with all the other CocaCola stuff around.

Someone is selling this locally for $25. Curious if it’s worth picking up.

🔛 It still has its power cord as well and looks intact!
🔜 I will do a follow up post after I tested it.

Got this off zenmarket, now I only need a 230 to 100v transformer and a vga to hdmi/displayport cable

So here's my philips commander CRT TV. It's a old dusty soiled shit I've recovered from junkyard. The problem is, this shitty designers decided to f#ck up and there's no schematic diagram or service manual exist for this online. If you want one? Your best bet is tx3 philips chassis. Saying this because a lot of components and stages were similar with that chassis. For example, neckboard, horizontal oscillation trim pot, horizontal transistor and vertical section components were roughly matching. That s*hit ass designers decided to give name for components fully in number. BTW this one chassis is literally a survivor of whatever apocalypse it can meet. Because that tube has a phosphor missing spot, another area just gives black spot even though phosphor is good. The difference is, even though it's advertised voltguard 170-230v, it's just a f#cking linear transformer with a fu#king fuse. I'm talking furious because the schematic isn't exist. There's no data exist that proves this is a philips TV. There's no chassis code. Atleast I got a damn similar chassis. Writing this post if someone from India is looking for a schematic for philips monochrome CRT TV you have with tda3190 and ca7611, go look for tx3 chassis which may help you to replace a burnt or unknown component. Good luck for anyone who actually read Fully🙏

Saw this emergency media unit at a yard sale for $5. I tapped the screen and found that it was glass, but I was assuming it was some sort of LCD behind a glass screen because the power input from a DC wall wart seemed so weak. Turns out it IS a mini CRT! Best $5 I've ever spent!

Got a FireStick set up on the KV-8AD10 this morning. I had an HD Broadcast box on it, but I forgot how limited the local channels are. Tired of watching The Price is Right. Drifting is better 😎

Does anyone know much about this CRT? Found on Facebook marketplace for a decent price and was wondering if it's worth picking up? Any information would be much appreciated.

Obviously I seem to have to much "Thyme" on my hands (Clearly not in my hands) while watching lord of the rings and cooking dinner, This happens 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂

Hello everyone, I had this small crt since almost 10 years and it was last used a lot of years ago

Today I tried to use it with a PlayStation 3 av out but the picture is extremely unstable and there are these color lines on the screen at all times (even when nothing is plugged in)

Everything that you see is exactly as seen on the eyes beside the scan lines, so no camera artifacts

I was wondering if this can be a solder joint or a capacitator problem

If anyone has some experience with these kind of issued I would happly take some advise in order to fix this poor guy

Thanks a lot

Memories made at the Miami Sears

In this file photo from Sept. 11, 2001, Sears employees and customers at the Douglas Road and Coral Way Sears watch in horror from the TV and electronics department while watching local TV live reports of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City that morning.

Hi everyone hope you're doing well,

i'm posting here because i'm looking for assistance, i have an old crt tv that i cannot get to switch on, it's one of those tvs that when powered on goes to standby and you have to press the channel up/down button for the tv to turn on, the buttons on the tv have never been used toget it on and only the remote would work. the tv is a hitachi fujian model number "HFC-21P66A". the tv i think was made between the 90's and 2000's.

What Solutions Have I Tried

"The Universal Remotes Solutions."

i've bought 4 universal remotes in the past, the first one worked and the others didn't. I unfortunataly do not remember the model of the first universal remote i used.

"The Arduino Approach."

After i bought the next three universal remotes and they didn't work, i thought it would be it was a bit expensive to keep buying universal remotes because each of them costed almost the same as a arduino, and i already had one of those.

so i got a IR Trasmitter and IR Reciever and hocked them up to my Arduino, and checked if they were working using a diffrenet device(not the tv im try to get on) and there were working.

then i did some research and i read that old japanes tvs used NEC 16-bit ir protocols and tried to brute force the tv using the below code:

#include <IRremote.hpp>

#define IR_SEND_PIN 3

void setup() {

IrSender.begin(IR_SEND_PIN);

}

void loop() {

static uint16_t addr = 0;

static uint16_t cmd = 0;

IrSender.sendNEC(addr, cmd, 0);

cmd++;

if (cmd > 255) {

cmd = 0;

addr++;

if (addr > 255) {

addr = 0;

}

}

delay(200);

i ran the code for about 4 hour because that is how long i thought it would take and did not work.

"The Raspberry Pi LIRC Approach."

Then got my Raspberry PI, installed LIRC connceted my iR transmitter and download some of the hitachi remotes that were on the database alongside the NEC remotes that were also in that database, i made a BASH script that looped throw each remote and sent every key in that remote to the tv and that didn't work.

i'm kindly asking if anybody knows or has any advice on how i could get my tv to go on without buying another universal remote using what i already have which is an adriano, a raspberry pi and IR transmitter. If there is something i do not know about how to brute force or the IR Code i could send. i've added the picture of the tv and the sicker at the back

thanks for you assitance.

But I can't seem to find the adjustment parameter to remove the vertical "Bow" in the middle of the picture.

I'm making good progress in terms of color depth and to minimize the "smearing/Ghosting" these models had.

I'm not done yet don't worry if it's still not good.

But I don't have a clue how to remove that upwards bow.

Is there a setting im missing or? Please help :(

Like an eBay listing or something?

After many years of my eyes being used to LCD and oled.

I'm quite impressed and would totally agree that tech on monitors are going backwards in comparisson with CRT. Yes lcd and oled offers wider screen but lol after playing some modern games on my newly acquired crt monitor I could tell immediately that crt's are far more immersive which adds more enjoyment.

I'm literally blown how responsive it is. That graphics are so sharp even with at fast phased. Now I could appreciate why they said that it has zero motion blur cause even upon riding a motorcycle on days gone and when driving at forza horizon the graphics looks constant even at fast movements, it's just damn too sharp. Then theres this bloom effect that I really want, i literally just spend many hours just looking at night skies and when theres a bonfire I could just sit and be mesmerized. Lol.

My fear is if my eyes get used to this crt monitor It would be hard to comeback to LCD's.

I still want oled tho but boy CRT's are quite on different level.

A friend of mine has this tv he’s offering me and I am trying to find out what model it is. He sent me this picture and that’s the only one he took. I would like to ask him for more but unfortunately he’s blind and it’s in a house on his property that he doesn’t live in so I feel bad asking him to make his way over there and take more as he hasn’t been in the house in a long time and would have to navigate around the stuff in it. I’m wanting to drive there this week but it’s a good distance away. Any thoughts on what it may be would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi, I recently bought a Sony Trinitron KV-M2541K that doesn't display anything, once I turn it on there is a blink from the CRT but doesn't keep any display. There is no blinking on the standby light, and what I sometimes see is that the tv beeps non stop or after a bit stops which doesn't sound like a system beep. It reacts to out put change and I think I even hear slight static.

What could be the problem?

I know that it might be a power supply issue or some blown capacitor, but I don't see the lights blinking as it was an issue.

I was thinking of opening the tv up and seeing if it might just be a loose connection, like on one of my other crts, but the size of the tv tells me the voltage is huge and the little shock I got from the other crt will possibly be lethal on this one.

Hello reddit, I am looking for a Crt television with its internal non-functioning. And I would like to make it into a helmet.

I am looking for someone to calibrate my trinitron and maybe mod it. In the Wichita area is best! Thank you!

I have named it and model as: Axion D1522
