 finally got a crt tv!! its a coby cx-tv1 . its such a fun little guy BUT the crt part only displays a horizontal line and nothing else .. from what ive looked up it can be fixed but might require soldering which idk anything about . hopefully isnt too difficult bc i really wanna do some silly things with it :-) |

thats epic! u probably know this already but just in case be extra careful repairing crts, the capacitor is really high voltage and can hold a high enough charge to cause death if u electrocute yourself. just make sure you figure out exactly what ur doin before makin any repairs

I really want an old crt. But they're so expensive, and I have nowhere to put it. One day, I too WILL make a post about my cool crt
