I probably have something that I've forgotten to do and That could be affecting the quality here I think the most important thing is the audio and I think I've got that set for a correct and the video quality too I'm not a hundred percent sure there may be some filtering. I need to fix so It's uh It was it was stressful and I wanted to get the show going today But I did have to spend about an hour trying to get the system back But great. Thank you everybody. So anyway today's topic Big time in it. We're big time in it. We're gonna talk about the most overrated and overpriced CRTs you'll find in the market and So we're gonna talk about that soon. But before we talk about that I do have an amazing few things to talk to you about today one of them being How many of you saw my good friend Mr. 8-bit Esquire's new new film. It's we kept calling it a film the Let me see if I can find it here. I Don't want to press play on it because it might give the audio.

What a lot of fun It was I was able to sit there and watch it last night finish it up. I just got to say Roger did a fantastic job of Putting that video together. He went a lot of places. I really wasn't expecting him to go I mean he talked a lot about the technicality behind CRTs and how they work and also Made some great comparisons that better than I've ever even really done one-on-one of PVM's versus consumer CRTs lots of incredible B footage really highly recommend this and I Even got to Star in this episode me and my friend.

And I mean just look at all this cool information in this video explain in the technicalities opening statement now I want to just You know a lot of breakdowns some cool stuff from like So many so many great things in this And I keep freezing on sections of my videos and things in here, too So some funny stuff cross-examination forensic evidence. Here you go. What if we just take a second?

We'll watch my specific section on here See and see if the volume will work. I think it is of some beautiful pvms CRT's and being restored to their former glory You could also catch Steve co-hosting the cathode ray podcast with Zez retro a former witness on this very channel With all that said mr. Nutter look can we go ahead and get this thing started already? Can you please raise your right hand? Could you could you take the sunglasses off?

We usually just go through some things for the first ten minutes Let the let the chat warm up. So yeah, that was the fun little joke I mean who thought we could have come off we I mean I literally recorded that by myself and he edited it to perfection in that little spot So anyway, that's really I didn't want to show a lot of it My section was all about kind of the the value of PVMs and how much it actually costs to get your hands on one of these. So if you want to go watch more of that definitely check out this video and So the the episode was a super a lot of fun to work on with Roger there and also Mike Chi he has a cool section to right after me So anyway, go check that out if you haven't already and again folks.

It's been about 10 minutes since the stream started that's usually when the crowd is warmed up and in here and Yeah, you can go back and check out that video give your opinion I think Roger makes excellent case. He's an attorney, you know, I would hate to have to face him in the court of law So but anyway, he did a good job with that show. It was a lot of fun to work on it with him and Yeah, let's get into it. Let's get into our main topic 10 minutes in I will put a Timestamp below if you're coming in you'll be able to skip to this 10 minute mark 10 minute mark. Here we go The most overrated and overpriced CRTs. Let's talk about it. Let's get into it. Let's shop for them Thanks again everybody who's here today If you don't mind if you haven't already please hit the like button for me on the show every time you do that It does result in about 10 new views for the show and the channel And as I'm trying to launch this new live show for the last month and a half I've had a great time, but it's also been really boosted by the amount of you know a Love and affection you guys pour out with your likes on the video. So thank you for all that. All right the big problem is Kind of it all runs back to this Nostalgia thing right and maybe the collector mindset and Nostalgia if you admit it nostalgia is almost you can look at nostalgia with Rose-colored glasses or Other you know glass half full glass half empty kind of perspective There's a lot of times where you're your Nostalgia gets you into trouble and you know it takes you into these rabbit holes and a Perfect example is the thumbnail The thumbnail for this FOMO all this There's nothing there's never a reason why the Shrek CRT should be worth What's a fair price for the Shrek CRT, let's talk about it Let's even figure out what the Shrek CRT does and If there's one for sale, why did I even come up with this topic? All right first off it was a lot to do with the video I did with Well, he did and I got to contribute this much in The video I've been talking about the the on-trial PVMs as he's talking about our PVMs worth the money and how much do they cost and He didn't get into other things just PVMs. I thought well. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. There's like two other whole subjects here that are completely nuts for What's the? Are they worth it? Are they worth it? How in the hell could the Shrek CRT? All right, I'm gonna give you a fair price. I think that Best case scenario you could put a three hundred dollar price tag on the Shrek CRT if it's in perfect condition Comes with the remote maybe has the original documentation Could see that kind of being a good fair price for it, but it's just gotten insane with that one, right? so Let's first off Let's see if we can even find one. I was looking this morning and I could I was able to find one for sale on on Fee Bay, I mean eBay here And I know nobody's gonna buy this right nobody's buying this for this price Good God Almighty and they're always in Canada Canada two of them Somebody really thinks they're gonna get rich here, right and they think since they get watchers, so oh, I've dropped the price 25% What the hell What in the world? Chris, I'm just talking about like if it's an unbelievable deal If it if it's like this I would pay three hundred dollars if it was box I don't believe it says it's new. I mean come on hot new Unopened in box Golly, what a does this get part of the eBay guarantee? It doesn't even give you don't even get the eBay Well, you do get a guarantee, but Folks Who and their crazy heads thinks that someone's gonna pay five thousand dollars for this I don't even think I don't even think like a Hollywood producer Maybe they'd buy this if they needed it for a movie shot and that was like a big thing in the movie. I'll buy it Yeah, let's just do it. Oh No, no, no tell me that spongebob CRT is not being priced at a hundred grand That would just be stupid. So the big problem really really this is News flash I'm gonna show you some more of these like this, but this is the ridiculous ones These have these have very little High-end use case scenarios, right this TV does not it does not warrant ever a five thousand dollar price tag ever And male economy shipping from Canada I mean God I would if I if somebody actually bought this for forty eight hundred dollars I'd be getting my ass in a car and driving it from wherever to make sure it arrived in one plate piece You know, could you imagine shipping this with economy shipping from Canada? What a jackass? Let me get back to the listing here first off first off First off not as you not only is your price Not only is your price stupid boat parts Hey boat parts Your pricing is frickin stupid boat parts For your patreon member sorry, but it's stupid breathe easy returns are accepted. So maybe we just buy it and immediately return it But really what let's see the details shipping and handling Economy shipping from Canada who the hell Who the hell sells a five thousand dollar Shrek CRT and only offers economy shipping from Canada Hey smoke monster Hey, race a Rony every single TV on offer up. We'll check out offer up. I've never the boat parts. Yeah, come on boat parts Where are you? Find the stream Seller boat parts. What's going on here? Let's see if the same seller is the one who's selling the Other Shrek TV which is open for only how this looks like a deal half the price these if these things Really were this like expensive? They would be at Sotherby auctions and like the auction houses. You shouldn't be putting this shit on eBay. You're not gonna find Yeah, I don't know like here's this is the other ones that will look through. They're not nearly as bad But this one this one at least we can see it's working I guess it's it does have as video I believe on this model and shank may have told me that you could You could RGB this thing like possibly or component mod it. Yeah, S video RF So I mean it does funny thing is it has this video It's definitely a meme flex, but what what I mean like what kind of maniac would just buy this to meme flex It would have to eventually lose its luster and the only people that know. Oh my gosh. It's not even in good condition Look at that look at that ear Man is this boat is this boat cellar? Oh, no, it's a sanctuary retro gaming Well, and it doesn't come with the remote. I mean, that's so heartbreaking. So yeah, there's that there's that now There was another TV that was on this one that Is it another novelty TV? That's just ridiculous. Okay? I mean look at this Sorry for my language folks Stuff like this Not worth there's no way Not worth $1,200. I don't care how flashy your photographs are of it. Look at that And it's even got like vertical collapse on it My goodness Alright, I'm starting one to throw up These these are really cool. I'd love to have one but again for $700 you're out of your damn minds These this does it these are literally I don't even know these look like the pictures like from the museum They're not you know, I guess they probably are there really but again These kind of novelty CRTs You could understand maybe paying a little bit more for something like this, but again, there's no practical use besides meme culture For these things now there are art exhibits that use this this helmet But 800 bucks baby, it's not worth it So overrated But at least through YouTube lets you or whatever eBay lets you get What the hell's on top of this one like a chain? Don't I just see like a why is there a chain on it? Is there normally that chain on it? Is that chain normally on there is am I crazy? I Guess it is normally on there. I've never looked at one that close. I didn't know it had this like dog collar style chain on it Wow, that's weird Anyway Those aren't ones you find very often. Let's see if this one has yeah, it's the dog chains on there too. It's so odd isn't it literally But this is where we are at folks with stuff like this if you ever see a weird funky look in television and it's at a yard sale It's even busted these could you could probably throw into these on there for two or three hundred dollars It would sell on a heartbeat Look somebody right here is like blowing up this is From Israel trying to sell Trying to sell CRTs for unreal prices. This is not even Holy shit. This is like what RF This is an RF TV like No damn way is this These prices are insane Oh Happy shopping click here to view how much this is like an Arabian Django Django Wow So any of these things ever sold this guy's ever sold a Trinitron for three grand I mean we can obviously find stupid stuff on here, but I really wanted to the biggest the biggest one The the big elephant in the room is the Shrek TV for sure You'll never find it Never find it that it's worth that much money, okay What is worth the money? Well again, you can watch the 8-Bit Esquire and it will Show you that. Oh, let's see Divers 2000 CX-1. I bet that's not they don't even have that one Maybe they will you think somebody has one of those And there's a so there's an RCA TV now see this is gonna pull up a lunch or a watch What a fun fun like TV so if you get in here, I suppose what I thought you could get these spongebob's For always coming out of Canada $300. I Don't know why you'd want it You definitely want the remote with these sets if you ever find them you can find this one You can definitely find the Batman one if you really want to buy these the best place to look is Facebook Marketplace or God bless you like I Don't know anywhere, but eBay really Let's see if we can find any of these at a more recent or Lower price if you spongebob TV. Yeah, see this one's not no remote This one's not as bad everybody's thinking this was bad This is about how much these should be on eBay these style of CRTs They should be no more than I mean I understand it's hard to sell these things so $130 plus Shipping if that's what somebody wants to do. I'm fine with that. That's eBay. Okay? So there's a lot of times where you find if you have to have a nostalgia TV there's another one The Batman TV the problem with a lot of these which that's probably a bad idea to try to type in the problem with a lot of these Is you have to have the remote control to really get it to do everything you want it to oh My goodness like I do like the idea of it having funny Things because it's got built-in DVD player the same thing is with the Disney TVs you have to You have to have the remote controls really to get the most out of these TVs from what I've been told Especially to this cars one But there's so many of these out there that they're not these ones haven't gotten like crazy prices, right? But they do have cool little quirky features. I mean I don't really must admit that But you definitely have to have the remote Nice scratch on the screen Okay, there was There was one Another thing that got me see so my daughter she just turned She just turned not eight years old Hello Kurt and She loves Hello Kitty. So I was like what about the Hello Kitty CRT? Well, these are gotten stupid priced to for used ones $400 and stuff and I'm not buying that of course That's gotten well past jump the shark mode for me But it they all do that same kind of thing. See how they have that like splash menu One one company must have made the majority of these damn things one Generic company must have made just about all of them. There's some cool little features This is like a mid 2000 early 2000s TV set But very basic and definitely not worth these astronomical prices This one for parts or repair This one's interesting. I've never seen this one What does this say? Why is this one for parts or repair? It looks like it's working You know powers on it's no controller. Could we do not know what may be causing it? Oh, it's issue with the buttons. Just a button issue. I wonder if I can make an offer God man, let me make an offer. I'm not paying damn 250 for this thing busted. All right. Anyway That's uh That's the big lesson is definitely these nostalgia TVs are gonna cost you money now Unless you go somewhere like let's see what happens. I'm gonna go to let's go to another another site Switch our shopping up for a little bit Here. Oh, right. It's even found my location Here we go Sorry guys, I haven't been paying attention to the chat. I don't know It's hard to demo Kirby has a good question right here. Is there a crossover market for this stuff kind of but at the same time I've seen like more modern TVs available That's so weird. I've never heard that's an interesting thing I've never really heard of somebody unless they're just over-the-moon collectors into like hello kitty actually Be collecting the CRT with the collectibles This is mostly just CRT collectors that are collecting these where they collect specifically these Character CRTs or they have CRT collection and they want one of these that's a very good question But I have not found that many people who are actually just collectors to actually collect these that unless they're into CRTs I've never had anybody come to me that was in that kind of a situation that's a good question So let's see about What's if we see so let's just start with the CRT TV? Hey, I Mean There you go What about the Shrek TV? There's not really a lot around me Nope no Shrek TVs and Yeah, I don't know old TV. Let's say join Sony Trinitron I'm not really finding a lot. I've never shopped an offer up for this kind of stuff Let's try Sony Trinitron Yeah, nothing much That's in California. All right. We're not finding much on there So but this one this one is a different style of that hello killer kitty TV, huh? So that's just the first thing now the other one There's kind of now this one is going to maybe make some people Wander this next one. Okay, cuz that's the first section of highly of again highly overpriced with that with the Shrek TV being the crown jewel of overpriced CRTs for a consumer set, okay and Then I don't know what's the most this The hello kitty ones right after that are pretty ridiculous. Most of those are expensive. There's not really a cheap one on here Then I mean lots of them look they keep going up and up and up and up and up in price for the hello kitty ones That might be the most second most expensive nostalgia TV. I found consistently and Other than that space helmet Okay, so that's just three great examples There are still some of these again if you got to get one of these I'd recommend finding one in Facebook marketplace and trying to get any of them don't sit your sights on one specifically see what they're like You can find the lady McQueen one a lot I have seen the spongebob one a lot, but it seems to be like maybe people are looking for it more but I don't think that's Too far off, you know, you can find that spongebob one. I still and the Batman which I couldn't actually find Let's see if we can find the Batman so Batman This one right here. This one is pretty findable too. It's just a Batman themed. It has a Batman Everything What's the inputs on this one? I think it's just composite. Oh, no, look at this little sneaky guy See this one the cheapest is the Disney princess, but this Batman one has s video, okay? so maybe Maybe that one's a little better So if you look for this Batman you'll find it, but it also has a remote control Don't forget these things have all got part of the whole thing was their remote controls Let's go back see if we can find one with a remote. I Don't know See if this one is the remote probably not The remote is a Batman theme remote, but it's not it doesn't have like Batman on it. This one is kind of like a lower Not, you know, it's it's this would be this would be cool again if you're Batman fan you want a Batman TV That one's not as hard to find. There's less of them on here available, but See that's what I'm wondering if you're like a Hello Kitty collector you could collect any of these TVs they're all Expensive now. Oh, here's a spider-man one. I've not seen that one Typical of what you'd think. I'm sure you need just remember folks if you're gonna venture out into this You're gonna need their remote. Hey But these see the company that made these puts s video in all of them SVHS SVHS And a coaxial out this thing is loaded with features And it's from Canada How did Canada end up with so many tacky? CRTs is that like where they all got shipped Interesting. Okay. So that's again first category Second category is one you guys might not agree with me about It's very possible. Let's talk about this. Oh This one's gonna hurt some people's face feelings not faces. It's not gonna hurt your face I promise unless you just like don't like looking at me or CRTs then that might hurt hurt your face But What do you think out of those? I mean, it's hard to argue. Is there any can anybody give me? What's the most you would ever pay for one of those? Are you a collector of anything like that and you're thinking man? It doesn't really even matter like how much I don't think if I had endless amounts of money I'd ever really pay that for that TV You know, I can't imagine that for that Trek television. All right You guys are really getting loaded loaded loaded today on Monday or something. Thanks again everybody You know what I'm gonna ask you to do hit the like button for me I'm about to say the next section here And to do that I'm gonna actually jump over to a friend of mine's website Mr. Andy King and the CRT database and I'm gonna pull up an entire section of things here Let's see if I can find him and it's again. It's gonna it's gonna drive people crazy. I know it is Yeah Yeah, I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna tell you right now that Personally and this is just me personally and the reason is I'm gonna tell you the reason I don't have enough money personally I would never I'm not in a financial position in my lifetime to be able to pay You know, it would really be hard for me to pay like market price for the super high-end BVMs, okay? And I have a hard time. I have a hard time saying these things are justified for their pricing and I'm not talking generally Not so much the 14 inches. It's a 20 and above so like a 20s now, I really can't afford these Not personally Let me show you what I mean. Hey gosh. I hate the algorithm on here because it doesn't it's like we didn't find enough will you? Including search your only original inquiry. There we go now look See 4,000 and this is this let's be honest. This is trending downward a little bit the prices are on these Multi-formance, which is probably good. It's just like anything. It's coming down a little bit and that's why I think that you know this right here This is about them. That's a that's a good deal If you really really want one of these and you've been waiting and you could prop the best offer if you're in this area You could check this out and I mean you could pay basically half of what these things were going for When people had tons of money and we're just blowing it on everything Now people are coming on hard times this guy even spray painted the shell put a fresh coat of paint on the shell And it's got the 68x card works, but the idea Which yeah, that doesn't look that great that paint job the idea that this is worth This is like again, but going back to the other one When you start saying I want it is this CRT worth five grand. That's a hard sell to me That's again No matter what it does Let's see if we have any other And that's what I always try to tell people I'm like you've really got to want these because personally even me personally There's this gray level of CRT's that I don't feel are Are worth the money? Right. It's it's got to have like a live up to a lot to be worth like here's another one And these are expensive again seven thousand dollars see this is like what you'd normally expect to see on here Seven thousand dollars Yeah, and now a lot of people are talking here about yahoo Yahoo auctions and let's see if we can find that. I don't know what do you have to do to go to yahoo auctions? Like by yee.com or something. I don't know. I don't want to site can't be reached Not secure What's the website? I Don't know. I probably unless one of you guys is Belmont if you have the website you can drop a link to it. I don't know what the yahoo auction site is I can't remember. Let's just Google it because those have been going for More That is by yee. It's just JP JP. Okay So let's see if there's anything on here right now Yeah, here's some stuff So here's a d14 now again, this is 14 inches It's got two days no bids Look at that Does not tell me the hours sometimes it will tell you the hours on here, but again, this is in Not in English Roger and other people have gotten these shipped. They do a good job of shipping them They do a good job of shipping them You can tell it turns on what does it come with? Just the SDI cards what a turd. That's the problem to just the crappy SDI cards To SDI cards, so you have to buy it if her card to get this to work Let's see if we can find anything bigger Here we go. Oh Baby and f24 Right. Look at this You can buy it out right now for Sheesh See people are buying them still People are buying them still It was their animates mud on the front page, I don't know what's even finding Shipping is expensive. I'm sure it is but look at this Somebody's already bid this up to $4,000 translate what happens when I hit that This is an f24, which I'm not too familiar with the f24. I've never seen one specifically I really didn't change anything select language. I'm gonna put it in See if this will actually do it There we go Hey, look at that what a world we live in press of a button and It's right there shipping these things as expensive no matter where the hell you ship them guys, okay? I've been shipping CRT's a lot and it's expensive. It's as much as anything else. It's expensive It's got the BKM 10 R blah blah blah. Oh My goodness. Here we go. This is the final Sony Trinitron master label monitor as Senna Ulta, which I've never even heard of No fading on the screen. There are small scratches, but not noticeable both color development and image movement are good Takes five to ten minutes for the image to appear clearly Please note that the image will not be displayed properly immediately after initialization the monitor has 19,000 hours on it 19,460 19,460 that look and I'm gonna tell you this This is a thousand percent the truth This is a thousand percent the truth the 24 inch and 32 inch tubes Had about a 20,000 hour at life expectancy on average and what caused that a lot of it was due to bored Overloading where in the studios and the production companies that were using these high-end monitors would often Put too much wear and tear on them by and clear increasing the voltage going into the tube There's just beyond its point it would fail out burn out It can produce more you can get more juice to that tube with the hardware to put it in simpler terms then then With other CRTs and since it's a bigger tube. It's doing multi-format. It's so complex. They're very fragile Golly, I still still you know you go to eBay, right and you see a price But when you go to buy it you see a price and you see the fact that it's got Auction like Bids on it. It's gonna sell Someone's gonna pay five grand for this There is no reward. There's nothing. There's no It will be treated as junk because it's an old product There's no claims and no returns no claims and no returns if this shows up It gets damaged somehow along that process. I don't believe you're getting your damn money back either. Oh That would suck unless you like have it a credible You may be able to get away with it if you have like a great American Express card or something I don't know. I wouldn't even try this on my good credit card to see if they It says you could get insurance, but I just wouldn't how would you trust the insurance over the damn How would you trust the insurance? Overseas just like buying off this give me a break right if you actually try to file a claim Sheesh And then do give you some ideas about how to ship it So that's one. That's the big one, right? That's definitely a big one right there BVM FW FW 900 FW F. Why am I saying FW 900 F 24? Look sharp see Never seen that There's the Sena Alta never seen that I've never seen that F. What year were these made? Let's check it This has like built in this is different. It doesn't have like an expand expandable card slot this Do you think this is a lower end? Monitor than the D Open that on its own thing and zoom in some more. Oh, of course. I can't see that shit. I can't see it Oh, I didn't know if it said what year it was made. I don't see The year made on there. Let's see this one if this will show any more action Here's some others though Here's some others All right, so what what's another one you guys want to check out? Let's see here. What's this one that's at a million? Let's try that one one million I can't translate this. This is a d24. I can't translate this one This one's not is this just a buy it out just buy buy now. Gosh Let's go back to the auctions. Let's go back to the auctions. Let's trust type in And see if any other bvm's come up. I Just want bvm's right now Because I'm not getting into the others We'll look at some others because I'm gonna be honest with you I feel that like that thousand dollar price tag to two thousand dollars is not it's not an unfair price for a good working Pvm that's like 20 inches It's gonna do everything you want and if it's working like I generally think that if you can find one get it Serviced and get it for under two grand total have it set up in your house, and it's there forever You're gonna be able to get you're never gonna find a situation where you wouldn't be able to at least Recuperate a good portion of that money if not get the whole price back if it's been serviced it's That's not my that's not my problem. My problem is It's hard to justify spending so much on these other like get into this higher end stuff and again jumping to these Prices some of them is just insanity see but that this is a good this could be these could be good prices, right for these d-series 14's H5's those have controllers built into them and It just depends on the build out right like we saw the one there for a second. Let's see if this one looks any better Has any better option cards? Hey, all the it looks like they loved this SDI cards, which sucks Because the SDI cards are worthless and Look at this who the hell's bought who the hell's bidding on this 23 inch LCD monitor? 560 I Understand it's an LC. It's the LCD. You don't want the That's weird if it was OLED. I'd understand bidding on it, but the LCD version Guess that panel is still probably pretty good For an LCD, but I did again. I've got the LCD. That's the 14 inch. It's a piece of crap nine inches, you know Here's a D9. This is You're getting to the close to the dadgum prices that they charge You know for if you find it here locally. Wow, this one has only 847 hours of operation time. I have no idea why they blur out the serial number Well, you can't find this serial number. We don't want to let you know I mean at least you get a little bit better card build out. I believe that looks like a 28x or 129x No, but that's again, it's up to six hundred dollars practically. Oh goodness, here we go We're gonna find another expensive one here. Let's find another big boy. Here's a d20 $3,000. Oh Here's the Opening price of this is the opening price no bidders Opening price of a million Yeah, I know I'm exactly buried bits I am in a very unique position where I get them and that's what I'm but I'm still trying to say to you that I Find it very even if I didn't know anything about this It would be very hard for me to be like oh my gosh. I can't Imagine buying like this like I would never be you know It doesn't matter That's that's That's more than the car I drive. I know I drive a cheap-ass car and it's old. It's 1997 but I'm cheap. I'm a cheapo. So I Have a hard time Let's see What it says it says it's got 18. I mean this one at least has low hours, right? 1800 hours, that's very cool So I get the price but still let's go back see what else we can find that that's the million dollar one This one's actually got bids Okay, this is a d20 which Here's another thing My personal preference. I like the d20 more than the d24 and more than the 24 inch ones and the reason is It still maintains that character that Sony has where it looks like a tube. It's still got the curve on it Obviously, it looks stupid to me putting 1080 on it Because you get letterboxing But It still has that same curved tube that all the other bvms at 20 inches has so it still looks like a crt to me Once you get to the flat screen, it's kind of hard to see that it's a crt So let's look at some will alright. I'll type in profile here in a second after we go through these very bits. That's a good idea so the One here, let's see the hours Leaf 46,000 hours. That's a lot of hours for See This is what this is what doesn't make much sense to me. All right This right here this right here Would be a better buy than this one not this one than this one lower price You would still like you could call. I'm sure this person you could work with them on like you ship How many hours are on this 24,000 you got half the hours a newer tube? All around better deal, okay Let's see what else we can find It's the just the thing is once you hit that 20 inch marker man, they just They just go up and up and up some people trying to sell it a little converters here for $30 Cables RGB cable for neo-geo commercial equipment. Where is this? It's crazy Look, why is a oh it has burns with burns That's not cool How many hours do you think it's seventy six thousand hours on the tube? Let's see if we can see the burn. Oh Yeah, oh But really who's really Really unless you have a unless you have another CRT tube lined up for that. It's hard. It's not worth it This is nice, but an a 14 All right folks, that's everything let's try Let's see if it does say if we put profil if it says anything and then we'll try the FW oops Sorry, we'll try the FW 900 And see what pops up from there Let's see if that shows anything You got some profil catalogs. Oh my Look at this We may be finding the secret stash by typing in profil because this is a 2030 Or 25 30 I can't tell them. I said the labels peeled off or something. So It's what are they listed as kx 21 hv 1s Is that really what it is I Guess it is. It's different. It has a different input board. It's kind of straight-up scarred input on this one I've never used this one. It looks like a PVM 20 30 with a different input board. I am Wondering if this one just doesn't even turn on Retro junk only main unit and speaker will not be energized There is some dirt no claims no refunds Man number of bidders nobody nobody wants to get this the problem is you pay $300 to ship it to find out if it's any good so not actual profil CRTs, but Profil catalogs Interesting now, let's see what Maybe the PVMs are selling for look at this. These are good number of bidders. No one 14 L2 $60. I hope somebody's gonna get that 1450 Medical that's a good one It's a medical monitor for 140 right now. It's got no bid nobody's bidding on these So if you have the balls and brass tacks Look at this one Look at this one Really Does it does it not work at all? It might not even work What what buttons are lit up blue only? Come oh my goodness. They got it in a psycho mode There's no telling It says don't worry you can use it without any problems you believe that it's guaranteed to work Okay, well see here's something that that I find Suspicious right when I'm looking at this I'll just show you First off when I look at these listings and it doesn't show even the menu And then if I look at these side photographs see how it's missing screws down here missing screws down here That makes me think it's been opened before and screwed with and it's not really working So I don't know it's weird look they're not even using a grounded cable for it Like an ungrounded cable for that damn thing. What the heck one penny PBM a 1454 cube These are considered junk They're going for a hundred bucks in series that show it's it's obvious if they show it working It will pull more money, but these are still look at these prices. They're not terrible. Oh, look at this. This is probably This probably works, but there's no menu for these 14 or these 44 cues gosh This one's gotten all 90 40. Why the hell is that one all the way up to 175 dollars? Oh, no bidders. I see I was gonna say nobody wanted that one for that price 20l 5 We found a 20l 5 For twenty two twenty three hundred dollars. It's pretty damn expensive Pretty expensive. This is no bidders They have a lot of stuff for sailing this website A lot of these have no bids no bids no bids Anyway, there is some good stuff Most Japanese outlets don't have ground inputs. Okay. Wow All right, it's a consumer version of the 2030. Thank you mr. Silent bid. Sorry guys I was ignoring the Norring the chat for a moment. It's just Mind-boggling to me how some of these monitors get over eBay prices on this website and Others stay low. It must be something where you know the auction auction stuff just goes crazy I don't know. I Don't know What else should we try to find on the buy-e though? How about let's see if we could find the FW 900 and then I'm gonna see if I can find some other cool monitors on here that that are like ghosts complete ghosts Nope none of that. There is no FW 900 listing so What do I mean? I mean like let's look up any see XM XM 29 Nothing. No. Oh What's the other one XP? No search results found Of course because they're ghosts, right? It's a ghost. Does that search pull up anything? I won't give up just yet Look at this. Here we go. Oh Now now we may have found something This is a 17 inch see any CCRT. It's pretty good. Which one that is? It's one yen That's not really the CRT I was looking for but I'm really trying to find her the nice The nicer ones, but I bet you could find a really good VGA monitor on here for cheap if you were Consistently looking for them Like this, of course, they're all in Japanese too, so I don't really know You got the you got to worry about the you know, this is a hundred volts. So you I would use a step down Transformer even though there's probably little risk that these would be damaged on an integer 120 in America This one these these are the ones that Look intriguing to me these flat NECs, of course, they're 17 inches That's the same one There's quite a few of them on here La la la la la we're gonna see if we find anything intriguing. No, that's it. That's pretty much it Olympus sure. I'll type in Olympus and also type in ikigami. Oh come on Olympus is easy because you could type in OED. Why don't you let me type in? Oh, why does it keep this site keeps like The wait for my text to load there you go. Somebody is bidding on this one So let's hope we didn't just like spoil their day by showing everybody This is nice This is a great CRT like such a good CRT and it this is a perfect one because it doesn't look it's even in English Half of it. It doesn't matter this one can go This one can go 100 to 240 volts. I'm pretty sure so you it's got a universal power supply So you don't even have to worry about power problems You don't have to worry about a step down transformer Nothing Verified to work. They're beautiful CRTs. I still have one of these That I actually I imported one of these but I bought it off eBay. I Forgot about that Here's another one. Damn this one's expensive But this has got a whole bunch of stuff with it What is that equipment? What do we got here? What do we got a little bit of scope action? You want to get a little you want to get your scope on ups? We got a sink problem folks We got a sink problem, there's no way that's got a bit on it just this one Yeah, any see and Mitsubishi made a bunch of cool Um Made a bunch of cool presentation monitors back in the 80s and 90s That were awesome. Let's see if you find it Anything gonna let me do that well What do we have here? 32 hours of usage time. Oh Diamond scan This is a bit older Then I'd probably care to use Now you can't have a great Set of it's 15 inch too. It's this multi-scan 30 to 70 kilohertz It's plug-and-play ready for Windows 98, baby 14 kilos That's pretty much it for the Mitsubishi Let's see JVC DTV Let's see if that pulls up anything. Oh Yeah Probably not no no Nothing like that. Let's try it. Let's see if there's a JVC DTV on On here sometimes they're on this website Sometimes they are not Like if you just wanted to let's do the silly silly right there, too There's one now this is This is across the pond everybody if you're in great Britain the Entrum Entrum Craig of on Craig of on oh Yes, it is Victor in Japan. Thank you. Mr. Silent Vid. You're right Let's see if there's any Victor Now we tried let's try That's definitely gonna pull up something Oh, we got some victors Look you can even get delivery if you're in Tokyo for this bad boy for 350. It's just somebody's old house set 2003 2003 I Wanted to see the input board so bad. Where is it? Where's my input board? No picture. There it is. Oh I'm not seeing anything beyond composite. I see some punch-outs there might be one as video where my hand is So if you're in Japan, you can still if you were in Japan, it would be fun to use this site a lot and buy things that normally people wouldn't Look at you can get them for nothing look See What did we see one of these for? We saw one of these. Oh my It's this is only $44. We saw one of these for 800 and it's working What? Dude, they have to be able to ship this across the pond. Oh Oh my goodness folks. What do you think of this? This might be like the best deal because nobody knows to search for Victor Nobody you figured it all out. Mr. Silent vids. Nobody knows how to search for JVC stuff Unless unless they know a little bit Hey Abe PO 17. Thanks for showing up too. Ah JVC D-series TVs aren't overrated because you can shock yourself. Oh I'm like so tipped it. I don't even know snipe it now snipe it now I've got a couple days. I can bust Rogers, but about how to do this. Ah Snipe the price snipe price. I don't know It actually has four bids on it Why does it say the number four there instead of like a digit? So this is gonna be a bid fest I'll have to watch that one. That's awesome though. Look. Here's another cool thing. Does it have a CR? Yeah, these little Victor TV radio look it's got a tape deck But again total nostalgia totally useless, right? No point I've got so much stuff like that so many things that I just don't need free shipping nationwide What is this? What the hell is this? Is this like a? Oh, this is like amusement ride We're really getting here deep folks What I see That's pretty fun. That's pretty cool. I think I'd rather buy that for $5,000. Ah, thanks Hopefully the merch guy can get hey, what would you guys think? What would you think? Let me ask? Hang on a second. I Was talking I was talking to the merch my merch my new merch partner and what what do you guys think of? Retro tech I'm gonna see if I can get some windbreakers retro tech windbreakers. I mean, I probably aren't gonna sell more than 10 of them But that's the exclusivity. I've haven't retro tech embroidered windbreaker Something think about it Think about it. How much would you pay for a retro tech windbreaker to look this good? Yes Cole still with us still sleeping I Snuffer stuffer too much. He's sleeping Yeah, we'd have the retro tech windbreaker crew that would be fun to show up at a convention see some of those That would be so awesome. So that's my idea is that and then how about this? I know this sounds nuts, but what about like welders? You know how like let me show you Let me pull up a fresh one because I don't want to drop my I don't want to drop my bye Thing here, but like let me see if I can find something On my screen that I'm that I'm talking about Okay, so this is kind of like what I'm thinking, right? I Don't think I there we go. I didn't spell that right. There we go. Check it out. What about this? What about a badass CRT apron? Like a retro tech CRT apron with like specialty tool stuff You know get your get your damn CRT repair man apron That's my two. That's my two My two deals my two ideas. Maybe it's completely ridiculous to think anybody would want that But I thought that would be cool That'd be perfect and also have like a mode where you put it around and you have it here And I always love to take the apron off and like flip it down and where it kind of is just like a pouch thing in the front So I was like to to differ. Yeah, Haco holsters You get like the double gun edition where you could have like the yeah, like a cross-jacket 301 so That's my two merch things All right, we're stuck on this Victor thing is anybody else got any good idea of What we should be searching for there's still a couple more. Oh, look at that. It gets stuff is there Wait, that doesn't make sense. Look at this website. What does it translate? It translates four and five into? Interesting nevermind sorry folks. I was just oh I'm gonna search for one thing here, too. I actually have one of these $7 that little one right right behind me right here Right there. That's where that TV is right there That's more than that's less than I think I paid a hundred twenty dollars too much Too much. Yeah, Cole's the best right there. All right We're about out of time for today's show folks, but I'm gonna hang out a little bit longer and search through some things I'm just giving you a little bit of a heads up. Thank you all for coming in today I think I've kind of accomplished my goal to tell you the two things that I personally have Have always kind of felt Have been not like Have been over oversold or over promised over whatever over hyped almost kind of right Let's see if Shrek What? You can get the payback. What is the pay pay flea market in the oh my goodness Korean market. We could go anywhere now. You can get this and go to all these other places um Yeah, let's see what When you type in Shrek, oh there is some Shrek stuff Man, I really wish they would have a Shrek TV on here Too bad sharp SF1. I've actually seen people get those on here. Yes, I will try that Well, I think I don't think there is one Try that with a dash in there No, there's a Awkward oh, no, that's just a Sorry, it's a TV stand. I thought it might be a CRT stand, but No, we don't have any SF1s FS 100 FM towns. Oh What do we find here? Look at this junk item So gosh does look cool. Don't they folks look at that. Oh It's busted a little It's got a picture Those are cool Didn't mean to click that but there's a lot of stuff like that. We can find I'm gonna get stuck looking at garbage all day like this and then buy something. I don't want to don't need to buy SF not FS. Okay, sorry You're right. I did type it wrong There we go. Sorry Andre. Hey, look at that. What? So right now this is 1100 yen five bidders It's not It's not like amazing condition, right? I Don't know I don't know if this works. What I guess so I guess it turns on. Oh my oh my Yeah, I'll have to see you about Roger This is another one same stuff not really. Oh, this one is a remote What's the snippet now price? What if you click that? I don't have any that stuff. I don't have any credentials Let's see what the international shipping fee United's purchase from the United States of America kilograms How many? Oh How many kilograms do you think this thing weighs? if 20 Is that too many? It's not really $77 bullsh not Well, folks, I mean, I've never tried that maybe one day. Well, I'll get some I'll get some tips Snipe it now. What is a snipe bitter sniper bid? With the sniper bid you cannot actually bid on last-minute auctions Okay, there's a so there's a I mean this is crazy sniper bids Interesting Thanks for telling me to look at this one. Is anything else is that a sharp that 2000 CX one? I think Is that right? Is it a sharp? 20,000 grams that's why it showed up that's little Put in grams. Oh, I just wanted to get a 20 gram sample. Does it have The weight listed in here. It's a 20 inch one. Oh, but look there. Yeah, so it's definitely based on your weight Yeah, so you can buy a bunch of consoles. I know in here for real cheap But I'm not really shopping for that Think of that. You can get a boxed Famicom for penny Penny Famicom But nobody gonna bid on it, but you get one of these for nothing Samsung GX.

I gotta say that power cable is freakin cool. I've never seen the power cable Yeah, this is all right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry You're right. I was wrong the full the freakin trek TV got beat somehow Shrek TV got beat Shrek TV is looking like a deal all of a sudden So this is not a sharp TV. Then is it there is it now it can't be made by sharp It's just what brand is it who made the damn TV divers? 2000 it's in the nice box It's literally yeah, it's it's a hundred volts, too This is just baffling to me Again, I mean, you know, this is like you're hoping post Malone freakin once This TV Yeah You only have to buy it once you're right you only have to buy it once Free delivery, yeah, I'd be driving this to your house Again if you bought this I'd be Hand delivering it to you. There's no way I'd let a single delivery person touch this So, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, so check this out guys. I almost completely forgot about this I want to tell you something. This is completely unrelated Completely unrelated before I forget. I look at this. We've talked about this a lot Namjoon Pike the legendary CRT artist now he passed away in 2006 So he had a long nice life tons of awesome art pieces But check it out. I got I got asked to Put in a bid to restore this piece Rose art memory by the museum. Isn't that awesome? So I just sent them a rough estimate bid Hopefully they'll accept it because this whole setup It's a double. So there's 40 40 tenant CRTs that have to be restored for this project No joke for zero 10 inch CRTs because there's 20 in each wall I'm like, well, we'll send you the first 20 if we work this out Yeah, and then you can do the next 20 and So, I mean I hopefully they want it done. It's not like there's gonna be other people Bidding on this project. It's just if they want to do it and want to put the funds towards it. I'll have literally 40 CRTs for them. He's like, how long you think that will take You know five weeks five weeks So hey zero sleep. Yeah, thanks foxy. Hopefully Well Chris I will that those are the kind of tubes that I can blast with the I Can blast every single one of those with a Recharger they've not been done. They've not been recharged So they would be They were gonna be good candidates I'm gonna hook every single one of them up to the CRT tester the effect or the BK 467 and then all that's gonna be so much fun Yeah, where's your I know right It's gonna be awesome. So anyway, hopefully that will happen because I would I mean you don't understand This would be like personally. This is like a dream come true to me. This is like I know like I Know I know a lot of you will understand what I'm saying this Unforsaken, but I've also built this crazy whole business that I have from the ground up from my own in you know Work and a lot of people have helped me and a lot of people have You know if this is nothing that I was trained in traditionally I wasn't trained in Electrical repair I was very briefly trained in electrical repair and understanding in other systems but never the CRT or anything and So now to have the opportunity To do something like I'm so passionate about this To be able to do this project for Nam June pike piece would just be like icing on the cake for me every time I think I get to do Something so fortunate by any time I work on a project similar to this with museums and then all of a sudden to be able to do this would be unbelievable and Let's This is what I didn't I don't I'll put coal in there So I don't sound like such a jerk when I say this but I literally strive to do the best that I can the way I think I can and I even in this little business of fixing CRTs and repairing them. I'm trying to almost like evolve and reinvent Myself in that where I offer more more more more more more more stuff when you get a thing serviced with me That's why you guys have seen me go through my service notes before and I show everything my client gets when they get a service CRT done And it's really going above and beyond it's just stuff So I think that I've tried to make myself like the freaking Michael Jordan of CRT repair now This is this bit. This is freakin super small pond. Okay, super small big big huge fish small pond like that's what it is because there's not a lot of people and I have a great respect for anybody else who similar to what I do goes and does this like there's a lot of people that like Andy King and even people in my own discord that are starting to train themselves and work through things and get better and Like that's always been my goal and not to be like the dick version of Michael Jordan that went around and like, you know talk trash to everybody I mean The actual like performance wise, okay, and that's what it's it's something I've never had a weird like Anything in my life that I've actually felt like this passionate about and be able to do For a living and so thank you all very much You know cherry box snuffer. I have I can't do charity box. They match. I don't think I don't think I'd ever get a I Don't know I'd be surprised if I got clearance for that with my heart condition I started by judging by I Chinga I and look that's the thing. I love the way all this works my big thing is I'm trying to do the things that people can't do You can follow a Pretty simple guide online and videos and get like your color calibration down You know, you do have to buy some equipment if you really want to do that But you can do things like that. That's the kind of stuff like you could do externally Calibration adjustments anything from like a service menu now with the older stuff that's done internally That's in my wheelhouse more also the older stuff or anything. That's internal like I'm trying to get to that hardware That's hard to get to service all that stuff and then the adjustment I get them to a good adjustable point, but I don't spend three four hours adjusting it. It's really That would I mean that would blow people's invoices up if I spent three or four hours, you know Trying to calibrate him a screen I'm like I get it to a great point after about an hour of calibration And I put about an hour of calibration into each one of these sets on average and then From that point, I'm like because I don't know what's gonna happen A lot of these travel to a setup and they get set up and little analog geometry things can change So then I'm like get it to where you want it. It's in a good starting point This is how we adjust it from there using the service menu and then you're in a good spot Yes, the Robert actually good question. I forgot to mention this, but there's a portion of this that would be like the the idea is to do a documentary of this restoration a little bit and They said that look if you if we do the documentary and we get green light for that We could do a whole segment on your restoration process and that yeah awesome, right? How cool would that be? Could you imagine that then I I mean that's really that that would really be the best and Could really open the door for me To be the guy there's other guys who've been doing what I'm doing for the museum But they're in their 80s and 90 years old and I mean they just love it like me so they didn't retire It's not the fact that it's just like they have to do this work because they don't need does they need money It's literally the fact that they love it and don't want to stop working on it because this is this machine look at it So freaking crazy They're like their mind-boggling. It's an old dead piece of technology that just constantly in my you know I'm learning new things about it myself every freaking day Yeah, it's live. He's snoring. That's what he's doing. I mean he's it's a he is it's it's a live camera So that's it that's it that's really today's show I've got to get ready now and We don't worry. Hey if you missed if you missed the show, please you can go back. It's been a really fun stream I can tell there's been a lot of people in here Everything's gone great and it's just been a really fun stream. So if you want to go back I will come back and tag.
