 Today we are going on a trip and we are going back to CRT Paradise and the Music City Multicon and we are bringing some fun stuff with us. First a 14M2U will be coming. We'll also be bringing a 1342Q. Both of these have been restored. Now this is super cool but we will not be bringing this. Sorry no, he will not be able to come. We will be bringing this which is a Trinitron pretty standard looking 13 inch except for this one has yes it's been RGB mod it has a scarred input here and this is a 13M10. We'll also have an opportunity along the way to stop at some great spots in the Nashville area and hopefully do some hunting for things that are retro for instance some video games at some local shops and then we'll hit up a couple good wills along the way. Alright there's one more CRT that we'll be bringing to the show because I need to use it for the presentation I'll be giving and the panel I'll be hosting at this convention and that is this one Sony PVM 1943 MD and it's basically in pretty darn rough shape I've never done anything with it except move it a couple times got a big chunk of the bezel here missing and I've never really worked on it it does work but we're gonna set this up for the shop class that I'm doing and presentation I will take some other things like a deflection yoke and anode cap and then like a separate Trinitron tube and that should be really fun to show off to people and go through for the class now the class is called how a CRT works and it's just gonna be a simple demonstration of myself going through that CRT you just saw and I'm gonna just talk about how a CRT works what is actually going on why it's really the best solution for analog video content if you're interested in that most of the time and of course I'm really excited to do that and meet some new people and see who actually shows up to the show and so it should be a fun experience it's a brand new presentation I've never given before so I'm excited to do that so that's what we're bringing I've also got a booth set up at the show so hopefully it'll be some fun stuff going on there and it is in the main game room and we're definitely going to check out every CRT at the show and see what's hooked up to it how it looks so as we get ready this is where we're headed we're headed here to the Farm Bureau Expo Center it looks like we have a seven-and-a-half hour 500 mile drive to do today and do you want to see somebody who's upset because they don't get to go oh my goodness what are you doing down here little buddy let's get you out of there I'm sorry you can't go let's see oh yeah of course yeah good boy all right let's get going stop recording now all right so we've arrived at our first stop here and it's at this lovely Goodwill and this is one of the best honey holes in the place that I used to live in Gallatin, Tennessee and so let's go in here and see if we could find anything today because it's been about a year since I've been back to the store now this was actually my best haul from this Goodwill and these were bought on the day they were put on the shelves which was 12, 10, 20, 20 so almost two years ago now but every single game was complete and had all the manuals and everything and they were only 4.99 each so naturally it was one of the best pickups and hauls I've ever had in my entire life so we're gonna go check out and see what this Goodwill has and hopefully we'll have anything close to this would be amazing this is what it's like shopping in Goodwill in America I got 2005 LCD HDMI and this one's be the best thing probably here that nasty thing everything's gonna sniff all right guys check it out this thing works and for some reason it still sells for well over $200 pretty regularly on eBay so it's gonna go home with me but there's not much else here worth looking at let's get out of here all right we didn't get anything too shocking in that Goodwill this time unfortunately but hey we still have the whole convention to go and a lot more cool things to look at I'm gonna go ahead now and get cleaned up and then we can finally go to the convention all right we've arrived at the Music City Multicon and now I'm gonna take you inside and we're gonna check out my Retro Tech booth got my stuff set up so let's just go ahead and roll right on in there all right so what I really love about this convention is it's just a big smorgasbord mix of different stuff I mean just for example look you got my booth right next right next to that we've got all the racing games the arcade I mean that's pretty sweet at least I don't have just you know some boring vendor next to me or something but speaking of vendors we're gonna do a quick walkthrough and see what's going on at the vendor tables next and see if we can just find anything cool so let's go check that out oh look at this we got here we got some old-school toys 89 that's pretty cool looking Robin penguin I think I used to have this penguin when I was a kid this would make sense like 89 yep I did I used to have that Batman when I was a kid this would have been right around the same time that my parents and grandparents would have been buying me this stuff I know huh hi such a mix of different things let's see what we got oh look we got some you've got some high rollers in here old-school chargers ours oh man what is that one you got to have the diamond in your hands for that one look at this one the aridactyl look here's some packs look at that a $400 pack what's that one from that's a base that's pretty crazy how you doing what we got here what do we got here some cool consoles I love hardware we have a gold star 3DO that's pretty awesome and a JVC excite oh my gosh you got a philip cdi bundle where did you come from here local oh okay it's very cool man it's first time I've seen one of those and I don't know how long got a show link a skirt cable is it okay okay wow that's cool ps4 oh they got the the sports version of the Sega Dreamcast and then you got the JVC excite with the actual JVC controller that's another bonus right there wow this is a vetrix work it comes with 20 something games and original overlays yeah reproduction yeah wow cool amazing well well well what else we got down here man this is some cool stuff heavy hitters here look at this a $1,200 ps4 game I've never even heard

it's been I know I doubt that if it was unopened to be a lot more than that wow so good booths here good stuff definitely paying a premium I mean goodness gracious that vetrix was $1,200 but I mean I've never seen any of that stuff look oh here we go controller bands yeah you doing good yeah were you in uh Connecticut this year yeah okay yeah I was there yeah I was like look this looks familiar I was like yeah I'm Steve nice to meet you anything to add to the huh what are you laughing at oh look at that those are pretty sweet those lights are cool those lights are cool let's keep rolling man let's see oh look at this see now one now if they do the weapons check how do they sneak all these in oh this is something I had been wondering about what is this for what thrust master this is what Lewis has been thrusting all about the thrust master 80 bucks man he would kill me if I bought that for 80 bucks I don't even have the right system for that hey how y'all doing good how you doing pretty good what does that go to this is a thrust master for which yeah this is an Xbox oh 360 I think it's for one oh one okay it's like the one okay on the side there but yeah I'll give you a hell of a deal um I don't want to take the pizza oh yeah I don't I don't know yet if you're in the market for a wheel the thrust masters you can't go wrong with yeah yeah in fact I'll sell pretty much all the wheels except for the switch one for 60 bucks okay they take up too much space in the car well thanks man I'll let you know I'm uh I've got a I'm I'm a panel hoster so I've got a booth over um at the entrance just with some crt set up not selling anything just like I was about to say I'll come by all year yeah yeah yeah yeah I get asked about this all the time really I missed the era where you could just get them all for free all the time well you still can you still can you just gotta look a lot harder yeah well you know eventually it was gonna be all the good ones are mostly picked through you can still find good big ones I remember back when I was a friend that worked out at Goodwill and they don't take crt's right no I was just like listen man if you sell them all outside just call me I'm all I'm just you don't have to take them in the building just go outside I'll come pick on yeah that was a sweet gig for a minute but yeah very cool man yeah I'll come to come check out your table later yeah I got a couple good crt's I got one big pvm over there okay um set up I said we should have cars somewhere yeah I just grabbed one thank you yeah definitely definitely check it out I know about that here thank you cool sometimes sometimes it's beer night you'll have like good stuff oh there's some cash I bet you can do it that's what we were all expecting you know it just happened to be a street address that's really what I all right man hi hi controllers see anything you like and some wrestling action figures down there I wish it was something I was exactly looking for but I don't see anything is this really crazy well that was a look at the vendors probably go try to find a good deal maybe on that thrust master for the pc at least that way I can play it pretty easily but 60 bucks I'm just not sure it's really worth that pretty rare stuff in there that I don't think I've ever seen I mean the cdi bundle but it was pal and it was $800 and then some of those other things man they were just expensive good condition but expensive but we're going to have to see what's next because I'm done looking at vendors all right this is the biggest part of this entire vlogging video and that is what I'm going to go around the show and show you all these amazing CRTs and how they've got them set up and it's going to be like the most amazing run through on consumer CRTs you've probably ever experienced uh first off we're here at the booth and I've got this beat up 1943 md but it's a beauty and people really love looking at it the pvm's just so great but let's look at some other things around here behind me first we'll start why not just right here check this out man this is one of these sam songs this slim fit crt with dolby digital surround now we got hooked up to it it's knuckles chaotic 32x mushroom style on the sega genesis and i'm going to guess this is composite video yeah and that's probably why it looks so slimy and if we look back here on the label model is tx t208 to 20 inches and this one you can't see it very well but it does support composite video down here so that's pretty our component video i'm sorry so you could definitely get a better picture on this thing next up is a just standard phillips magnivox smart plus series how about that we've got some goofy fighting sticks from assi wear of course i love assi wear stuff oh yeah you know i'm just running through showing everybody your amazing crt collection i've only made it to the second one that was uh dave the show show man right there he's he's the man in charge the man who owns all these lovely crt's got the vcr dvb player combo on a 20 inch flat trip flat screen to shiba see we got any good inputs down there wow look at that i i don't even i don't even think we've got anything better than composite video on that so that might be a disappointment for that one next we've got just a good old-fashioned rca tube these guys are really great and the good thing about them is usually can use them in arcade cabinets if you have an issue now this is next to that is a jvc and some trash this jvc has a streets of rage 2 game going on in it now this one is obviously not the d series and it's not the l art or the i art or whatever they want to say that our first sony of the night this is a trinitron that's seen its better days i'm guessing somebody dropped it down it's got a sega master system hooked up to it and of course we got just about every input you could imagine for analog back there this is a 27 inch from 2001 we've actually got a sweet pc engine turbo graphics set up here with good old keith courage right the most common i think game for the turbo graphics in america and that's set up to another sony trinitron in better shape let's see what this is a vega and this is a fs 120 from 2005 definitely going to have some high end inputs on it but a little bit newer of that trinitron right there and the dance party's getting started in here some of the things are going to the philips magnavox check this out with r type one on the pc core graphics cool bubble tube here philips magnavox got another jvc this is the older jvc with the cool look at that the super the super add-on so you can play those other six to ten games or whatever that's available i really like these older jvcs they kind of have a good look another sony trinitron now this is a d-series oh yeah look at that sega saturn on the d-series this is a 24 27 inch 27 inch i'm going to think definitely looks better than the 20 inch one anyway there's another panasonic panasonic and saturn it's bigger it's better it's better the s and k kidney bean xeno crisis nice on a sony trinitron let's see what we've got on this trinitron we've got an fs 100 i don't know if you can see that so well fs 100 from 2002 let's throw of inputs and of course we're going to be using the fronts as a composite so everything here is on composite wow this is a big philips before we go see what it is in the front it's got all kinds of good inputs philips from i can't see that where it's a 27 inch here okay let's see oh yeah look at that magnavox big flat screen oh look at this look at this what is this it's an interesting navigation i've never seen any buttons like that what does that do i think it's power oh volume okay we've seen one of those look at that so volume and i don't know that's what channel oh i think i just turned it off messing with the av inputs look at me which one are we on okay there we go bank of super street fighter so that's interesting i've never seen a channel checker up there like that that's pretty cool oh this looks like a sweet chanochon look at that one 3do baby you got to get in the geck's rca true flat these are fun magician lord on it you gotta love magician lord on a true flat another design with the power buttons up top it's pretty interesting just like what an fs something or other 10 110 120 fs 120 so it's got that flat screen and then check it out it's got that long kind of back to it that's very very common for that era of a trinitron kind of give you that look dinex baby this is one of them good old knockoff dinexes as some of these on this end i've realized aren't really working properly i mean and nobody ever really messes with this stuff unfortunately because why i don't know i mean i'm not trying to be a jerk but why would you have any interest in playing the odyssey when you got a thousand different things here that's better than it i've never seen anybody spend more than two or three minutes this is the in television to phone system i mean sorry controller and uh it's hooked up to a dead samson true tech it's like the true blood of crts does anybody ever remember that show true blood like what the hell ever happened to that show i don't get it like he used to be the number one thing in the world and then nobody cared about it anymore it's like everybody forgot about vampires good old donkey kong rca nothing too special there now this is that good old sylvania 20 inch composite only but i do like the way these look and then there's like an emerson version of this television flat screen 20 inches um not the best but not too bad 7800 i always liked the 7800 this is the only time where you could really like pull off this goofy controller at least it looks goofy but it actually works pretty darn well another atari just on a magnivox same sylvania this one's not working this is like the atari the place where no one people come to just like chill out and relax unfortunately not many people are coming here to play you know space jockey on a magnivox in 2022 so you know i think that's pretty much past its prime right about crystal quest atari 7800 on a sanyo flat screen here's this emerson again another button this one's not working either this time we got an atari xe system which my son was actually laughing at he didn't understand he was sitting there hit the help button dreamcast set up over here love seeing that i'm not sure what we've got for low to save what games going on in there but nice little 20 inch kv here that is a sony from the 90s next to that another sony from the 90s with a dreamcast and crazy taxi this is a cool little table area game cube set up fs what do you think 120 here man where the smash boy's at where's my buddy shank he would love to be sitting right in front of this phillips smashing some people and we've got another sony this is like mostly sonys we got the random phillips right here we've got a beautiful golden eye set up here and then more in 64 right golden eye a little bit of mario kart on that 20 inch sony got a magnivox here with dk 20 inch magnivox 20 inch super nintendo lovely super mario a lot of these magnivoxes look at this these are all these smart series tv's looks like somebody got a good deal on five of them because i think that's how many i've run into at the show so far so we've got a memorex memorex look at this you got a power button on their own more buttons on the top ways are which is an unusual one interesting our last two future jaguar kasumi ninja insignia is the brand you got a dvd player in case you're going to watch something tonight sony's gonna finish us off here with our alien verse predator i love this game even though probably nobody else does i sure do all right so that's your tour of all the crt's on the floor and i decided to do it now because it's the first night of the show it's getting to be late and um there's not as many people on them right now as there probably will be tomorrow when the full big show day is now one thing that is popping right now is the fight game esports section over here which when the tournament really gets hopped in tomorrow we'll go visit some friends over there see if we can see what's really happening behind the curtain because there's a lot of stuff going on over there all kinds of different tournaments and you know this year the fight tournament guys really brought something cool they brought a third strike setup and they got a dual blast city new astro city's cab that they brought i mean let's look at that how cool is this this is probably the best crt setup here is this awesome stuff we're here day two for the big music city multicon and of course i've already done my presentation it went great and it was a lot of fun and i didn't get to film it but don't worry the show promoter did and i'll definitely let you all know in that episode of that clinic will be out because i did sit there with this lovely 1943 and kind of tear it apart and wow some people by showing them how the deflection yoke works but as you can tell i got something pretty goofy playing on the screen here and that's because this is my best new pickup i've got from the show and it's this a working pioneer laser karaoke machine it came with this awesome demo that just shows like two minutes of a bunch of films and a ton of like literally like one minute of a bunch of music videos and songs which is which is a little bit hysterical but again i gotta say a special thank you to my friend who brought that to me at the show you know who you are and uh you definitely gave me a good deal on that i got it for a hundred bucks very happy about it's definitely look for some more information on that coming in the future but for tonight we're going to look at a couple new things we're going to go around and we're going to check out first this this is the fight game section for the fight game community i did a little bit of a second look at this here for this blast city new astro city last night you saw those set up that's just awesome so what they got here is a nice tournament going on it looks like we're at king of fighters over here there's the main stage really crazy stuff man so let's go to the main stage see if we can find somebody we know around here there's the king arturo and chris my friends discussing let's see he showed them it all yeah hey last year they had set up on the other side and i tried to go say to him and i like they like almost tackled me because i they're like i thought i was going to trip over and like knock everything out and i was like i'm cool i know they're like oh you're cool you're cool you're fine i was like i promise i know him and they're like sir sir and they're like yeah oh and they went over and he said yeah they're like oh okay come on back well how about that we're gonna go check out some stuff here with arturo let's get ready for his championship match well that's the end of the trip and i'm sorry to leave you on a cliff hanger like that but i will let you know that my buddy art aka nyc furby he actually won his tournament so he got first place and congratulations to you buddy you're the best street fighter i know so that was the big trip i hope you enjoyed a look at all those amazing crt's and i just want to say one last thing uh the best part probably about this entire trip was the opportunity to go and to see people again live and in person i mean it was just an awesome chance to be able to meet a lot of you that came to the show i can't say you thank you enough for anybody who showed up it was actually quite a bit uh larger turnout this year to the class i gave then any year prior and almost 30 people were there so that was a really good turnout for my crt class and i was extremely excited to give that i think it will just lead to more opportunities down the road hopefully for awareness and things like that and that kind of presentation in the future and once that has been produced and uploaded to the music city multicons youtube page then i will share it here and everywhere else on my social media platforms but what did you think i mean this event is definitely the capstone or the end of the season for me as far as conventions are concerned i won't be going to another one till 2023 so did you get a chance to go to any shows what did you think about it how was it was it better than you expected or maybe worse than you expected please let me know what you think with a comment below and also if you enjoyed
