Izlude Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, the original owner of the TV I found says it works great. I was gonna pick it up, but some punk cut the cord.. I grabbed it anyway. I WAS gonna cut cord on one of my other TVs (ones with built in VHS/DVD) but then noticed I had an extra PC PSU cord. Do you suppose it can handle the load? It's not too short like most PSU wires, but not sure if could get hot or what... do you think I'd be better off using one of those green 2 prong extension cords? Otherwise I'll have to bid farewell to one of my little TVs (the player is broken anyway, was gonna fix it, but parts weren't available). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted December 12, 2017 MVC Share Posted December 12, 2017 I usually just use any PSU power cord I have laying around, never had any issues. Izlude 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izlude Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks, I'm picking up shrink sleeve tubing today. Here's what the TV looks like. If I get it up and running, I'll post more pics of various content being displayed x) https://imgur.com/a/8LUWY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted December 13, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted December 13, 2017 You're going to clean that circuitry... right (or is it just an illusion from the picture). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted December 13, 2017 Veteran Share Posted December 13, 2017 ew... rear projection screen... I'm going to give it at 50% change the bulb is broke or the color wheel doesn't work right if it has one Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izlude Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 IT'S ALIIIIIVE! Yes I dusted it and wiped what I could without touching the transformer's board... I hate that board... Lenses wiped, all's well! No bulb, no wheel, tis a pure CRT Projector. Did the convergence manually and have a pure white grid. Oh it's beautiful!!! Aside my crummy photos I'd say it's real colorful IRL. The Dr Mario comparisons are before and after from a lens wipe. I might have to do the mirror, I can see a rainbow cobweb in the corner (only on white screen). I had to use a flash for the Mario 3 shot so you could see the pretty cabinet, otherwise it was way too dark (Mario 3 looks bright, but IRL it's nice and colorful)+https://imgur.com/a/OTnrx LimeMaster, Jim K and The Evil Overlord 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted December 15, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2017 Never had a rear projection TV ... doubt I would miss having one. Last TV I had (before my plasma) was a Sony Trinitron 36inch ... weighed about a ton (well a little over 200 pounds). Do not miss that beast at all. Guess if I had a bunch of old consoles around (SNES, etc) it would be ok having tube TV... Anyway, nice score! You did clean out the boards though ... original picture looked like fire without the flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
