 Greetings, good tidings, and hello to all of you wonderful people out there in, in maybe wintertime, maybe it's wintertime where you're at, maybe it's a nasty, slimy, drizzly day out. Maybe you got a little snow, a little precipitation, maybe you're like me and you got a couple of Rugrats running around the house somewhere because schools were closed. So whatever situation you are in, thank you for coming here today and welcome into the bunker. Happy New Year to everybody, yes. Thank you. See a lot of people here. James Boone, welcome in. Thank you for coming in. Rob Kat. Belmont. What's up brother? Everybody here as always, Glinder, welcome in, hey Mark, Mark, how you doing, good to see you here, prime caliber snuffer stuffer, welcome back, Jag, heater hop, welcome, yes, it's true. I have been out for a couple of weeks, right? I'll be honest with you, holidays kind of punched me. Right in the gut and I'm going to say that is maybe just a timing thing, a timing thing. It's something you just can't get back, you know, there's that one thing, no matter what happens in life. You can lose money, unfortunately you can lose people and you can lose time and the time is the thing that you just, you know, one of those things you just can't get back. So anyway, everybody runs out of time, right? So I've been spending the last couple of weeks just doing some restorations, grinding through some projects and getting things ready for the new years. And one of the things I'm working on is a project I was posting on Twitter today and it's a Sony PVM of course, it's a, well, it's a 20M4U and this is, the reason I'm working on this one is because I've not done this repair before. This is the infamous red tally light of doom on the CRT. So I posted about this on Twitter and I have it here in the shop, I'm going to figure it out this week. I'll shoot a video, make that, so that will come out and then really the bigger project I want to get done this month is a shop and collection tour for you all. I have a lot of interesting CRTs here in the shop right now and so let's see you in that video where we'll show you all those wonderful things. Yeah, so anyway, as the chat comes in, welcome in everybody. I thank you for being here and if you have not already, excuse me, if you have not already, please do us a huge favor and hit the like button and that will let everybody know that it is bunker time. That's right, it is bunker time, folks. I have before you a lovely arraignment, a lovely arraignment of hardware and Miami always beautiful in Miami, except when it's raining, I guess, right, I'll have to maybe flip this light out of the way because I can see where it's going to glare right onto the screen, but we'll see. So as I said, I did some work over the break and one of the clients that I did the work for said he was going to donate a lovely little TV to the shop and that's what you see here. This is a Sylvania. This is a Sylvania now Sylvania. I've been researching this particular model. It's like a ghost online. I have not found really much of anything about it and if you look closer at it, that's too close, right? Anyway, if you look at it, it is the most basic, basic CRT. I mean, there is absolutely very little features or anything to this television. This is an NTSC set. The specific model for what we're looking at is the 6420 FMG. And there were a couple of other variants of this because I found more information on those than this one. And again, this one appears to be the low cost, like the cheapest one this Sylvania made for this television. I, of course, wanted to get it. It's a 20 inch size. And just to give you a little bit of information, there's nothing really fancy on the front. There's no input on the front. It is literally just the power channel up and down volume up and down in a menu button. And I've messed around with it a tiny bit is not really much I could do. And unfortunately, I don't have the remote for it. At least not yet. I'll try to find a replacement remote and because hopefully one one day this lovely Sylvania will be for sale. That's an excellent invention later this year. Okay. So there you go. Now this again, I don't have the remote, but it would have a remote with it. Just very basic one speaker sewer mono audio. We got one composite video input and one RF video input. Now I'm going to give you a little bit of warning here. I was testing this and when I powered it on, it seemed fine. Everything was okay. Okay. But when I turn the set off kind of makes a little bit of a humming noise. So I'm concerned about that, you know, it makes a humming noise in the power area. So I think there's a transformer that's either got bad solder or the transformers a little worn out, maybe a capacitor or two in the filter cap area is not not so great anymore. So we'll need to investigate that a little bit more. And so that's what we're going to work on. We're going to of course test this thing. And if you look above me on the rack, if you can tell that is live, you can see I got some lovely consoles over here, right, right above my hand right now is the lovely N64 next to that. Belmont. There's your, there's your beautiful baby super family calm. And then out of view or beside that, I have a Sega Genesis model two has been RGB bypassed and pardon me, it has been set up to go. So how are you all doing? How is I see everybody talking about the weather? Some people laughing about it being hot where they're at. It's the beauty of the internet getting together and talking about how things are different and how we can come together. Hey Edward, hey Ronnie, Smash or Josh, welcome in, Vid kids, welcome in, snuff or stuff or so you earlier, Smash or Josh, you got a Facebook group called the CRT gang, that's cool. Jag. All right, Daniel, welcome in. Let's get, let's get this thing powered up. Let's see what this thing's all about. Good to see you all here. Please again, if you can do me a favor, just hit that little like button where we can spread the love, spread the knowledge on the Sylvania because as I said, I've not really found anything out about this. I couldn't find much data at all on this specific set. If anybody in the chat knows anything about this, this is a flat screen. It's silver basic Sylvania set. I'm not even positive which company makes it. And I don't think we'll find out till we open it up. Hey Jonathan and CRTVTubers, welcome in and what's up. All right, so I'm going to go ahead and power this thing on. I believe the Super Nintendo's turned on first, but here's the thing. This set, it could do a little zap. I mean that's the, but I'm wondering, since it's a low end set, there's probably not, probably not a bleeder resistor I'm going to bet. So if we get inside, we're going to need to be careful and we may get a little bit of electro action, electro boom style action here live, right? So everybody wants to see I'm sure. Warm you up on this cool December day. Actually it's not December anymore. Look at me. Keep my, keep my timeframe right, it's already January, goof. All right, to energize this thing, about to energize it. Okay, ladies and gentlemen here it comes, Phillips, Phillips has some good CRTs, that's a thing. I'm intrigued by all the CRTs. I don't have, you know, Phillips that's Magnavox kind of, they made some high end stuff. Cheap stuff. So I know that like, you know, I think in some countries, that was, they were better than others. All right, let's get some composite video action for you here and let me turn down this light. We'll just flip that guy around, make it, make it a little more cozy in here. Oh, yeah, that's, I'm, oh, absolutely. Good eye. Jag. Jag heater. Jag, I'm not sure if that's one word or what, but that's what I'll call you Jag. Good job. Yeah, that is definitely some bowing on the screen. You see that? Look at the bottom there, it's definitely a bowing going on. So that's, that's pretty typical of a flat screen shoot. We'll see this. I mean, like I said, this thing is a cheap one. Now, I know you're going to see it flash on the screen a little bit. I'm sorry. That's not actually flashing on the set, but let's, so I'm just going to, the thing is, is actually the lines along the edges are pretty straight, which is, which is pretty good. But if you look at the bottom, it's extremely bowed. And you know, let's go ahead and see what we can, yeah, you can see it down there under the menu screen, how it really bows there. And if I go to a dark background, first off, let's look at the color bars. That's pretty good color. That's pretty good color for this set. I mean, for something to turn on, I would, that's what I'm saying. This is going to be a good set for somebody. Hey, Jake, Jenga, welcome in. Thank you all for being here. But if we look at the monoscope pattern, which is something I can tune down a little bit. I still think I might need to turn that backlight off a little bit or turn a backlight on behind it, TV or something. There we go. It's tuning down a little bit more. Let me cut this light out. We don't need it. That's better. That's better. Okay. So there you can see a bit clearer on that droopiness and let me show you something else. Wow. You know what's the most surprising thing? The most surprising thing is this thing is really, really a side, look, a side from that single bow at the bottom. This thing is actually in a really good shape right now. And I would argue the case is the darn aspect ratio on there is right on. Right on the money. I mean, so we should not see, aside from that warping, if this was a curved tube, even on just one end, like a Trinitron tube, this could be like an amazing set. If it was, again, it's always going to look something. This is a flat screen, you know, problem issue. The deflection yoke is going to be, I want to see it. That's where you're going to look at it soon. We're going to poke inside because I want to see kind of what it looks like. So I'm actually impressed and then, you know, maybe, maybe with a little adjustment could get it there a little better. And also this might be something where there's a lot of unpopulated points on this that somebody could go in and modify this if they wanted to. I doubt I'll have time to do that. I might have time to, again, service this thing to a point and get it there. And this is, I mean, but if you, again, if you're just like, bam, want to play some retro games and it's like you have a budget of no money, this is, if you get this for free to 20 inches, the good thing about this 20 inch set, I want you to notice that it is not huge. It's not, it's not long. It's not heavy. It feels more like a 14 inch than it does a 20 inch. So it's not, that's the good thing is it's a smaller size. It's just got so little hardware in it, I'm going to guess that it's very light. It's one speaker, no weight to it for a CRT. I bet it weighs under 40 pounds. But to be untouched and to plug it in, what else do you need, right? To get started, or maybe just to do everything for you. I don't know, but at least to get started. You don't have to modify any console then. You can get going right away from the real hardware if you wanted to. So I think that's a really fun thing, good little television. And these things are going to become, I know it seems silly to say now, but there's going to become a time where it will be harder and harder, it might be a decade, and it will be hard to even find this. So anyway, it looks to be a good solid image, we'll let it warm up a little more. We'll see if we can put, let's see the scroll test. You could see how the ground kind of looks like it's got a hill on it. And when you go back and forth to the screens, you can really see it how it bows down in the corners. It's almost like the reverse effect of pin cushion, or it is a pin cushion style effect. Crazy. Yeah, exactly Jake, the top of it is pulling upward also. It's like I said, it's almost doing like the exact opposite of what you'd see on something you could do, like a pin cushion adjustment. So I don't know, you may be able, you know, that's another thing, maybe if it does have an expandable pin, you could expand the outside, but I don't know that that would work. I think that would make it look like a weird pillow effect or something, honestly. Let's take a look at, I see Keith always asks why I use this old pattern, and it's because this got this old linearity circles in it, and you could tell right there too where a little oblong, not quite right. But man, if you're like looking for a cheap TV back in the day, that's not going to be a problem for you. Now there's a bunch of convergence problems in the corners. I can't really show you that so well from that camera, but there's a lot of separation down here. Every corner has a big amount of separation in the colors, every single one of them. So this is just, yeah, this has got a yoke that probably gets you to about 85, 80 percent on this tube. And what do I mean by that? Well, if we go back to a grid, heck, let's just go back to the monoscope grid. Like this, this set is struggling once you get outside of like the 80 percent of the center. Which is like, that's like, for example, that's like inside the red. It's really tight and good all in here. But then once it gets past that, this final 20 percent outside is just awful. That's a big issue with CRTs, always has been. And if you go cheap on things that's in effect, you're going to run into. And I'm sure that's what, again, they were like, look, this is what it looks like. You know, this is the cheapest one we've got. That's kind of thing you go when you buy in a store back in the late 90s, early 2000s. Probably more like early 2000s. We'll check a date on here. Let me see how what year this one is. Wow. So it's like 2006. It's up to your sleep. 2006. This is mid year. This is towards the end of the CRTs. So yeah, the world was on to flat screens at this point. This has been cheap leftovers. So still need some love. Still good picture. The color is awesome. And again, the inside 80 percent is sharp, wonderful on. And I bet a 14 inch of this television looks better than this 20 inch one. I bet it does by a bunch. All right. Well, let's take a little game break here. Play something on this. I do not know what's actually going to be okay to play last time. Well, last time we did some Supergirls, this would be good. This one. See, it's hard to think which ones will not flash out the camera. And the problem is on this, look, I can turn up the volume, but I can't. I can't do anything when I get in the menu. Yes, I do like maybe together. Anyway, I can't turn the brightness down to the set at all. Maybe let's see if I can, let's see if I can get the screen to look a little better. I got too much saturation in that picture. We're going to take it, balance it down a little, trying to make it a little bit better looking. I mean, it's not, it's not easy to stream a flat screen CRT and make it look good. Okay. But I will tell you, if you're, if you're using time specific or 2000 ish content on this, it would look pretty good. Like 480i stuff is going to look better on a set like this than the 240p will. But, hey, if you still want to be able to, let's do it, right? Let's take a game break. I mean, I know. Let's see. Oh, of course. Like Steve's ready. Steve's ready. I don't think I've beaten any of them in here, though. This is pathetic. Gabby J. I think the music's almost fitting for like a Gabby J beat down, right? I'm going to punch you, yeah, Gabby J, down you go, hey, hey, it's a wonderful day. I'm going to say Gabby J, come on. What's my special button? That's a problem. I can't remember. Ah, okay. There it is. Pathetic. I would let this guy, boom, boom, there we go, there we go. This is the kind of CRT that, again, I mean, there's some kid out there just like that. You remember the other flat Magnavox? I love telling the story about that flat Magnavox, man. That was the last, I don't know if anybody remembers this. The kid at the convention last year, he bought this flat CRT from me and it was just so incredible to see him all like bright-eyed just looking at it. It was the one I saw here was that Magnavox. It was the lonely Magnavox. We joked at the convention about how it wasn't going to sell because it was the last CRT all by itself. And I cut him a deal on it. Yeah. Look at that. That's what I was looking for. That wasn't my best time. It's like I was able to do it at 29-24. That's right. Dr. Klaw, what's up? Oh, what's up? Here we go. Ah. Oh, boy. Now you guys, yeah. Whoops. All right. What's the trick here? Titching the stomach. Okay. You know, no, you like that. Oh, there we go. Now you're over with, big boy. Got to go faster than that. Ah. Oh, whoops. Oh. Look at that. Look at that. Uh-oh. Oh. Not the right button. There we go. There we go. Yes. Oh, Southern Coast. What's up? Thank you for the $2 Super Chat. Yeah. So you get the idea. I mean, you're going to get the idea. You're going to get the idea. Oh, Southern Coast. What's up? Thank you for the $2 Super Chat. Yeah. So you get the idea. I mean, you're going to get the great CRT effects with this. Look, I'm actually able to hit him. I didn't think I was going to be able to hit him. His chin was out like that. Oh, I did. I did. I hit him again. There he goes. This was always, always a fun game. I still think it is. It's got a lot of playback ability. It's a little bit, you know, better as far. This is like perfect graphics. When was the last time they came out with a punch-out game? A new one. That was actually good. I think like modern gaming is just so disappointing. There's a few things out there, but I'll be honest with you, man. I got my kid got a PlayStation 5 for Christmas and he's super happy about it playing Spider-Man. But aside from that, I don't know what to say. There's like not much, not much like on the horizon for him. Oh, look, that was a better time. All right. Here we go. This is going to be a little bit tougher. I think probably not. But we'll see. Yeah. I've got that. And then there was like something for the Game Boy Advance, but like it's been so long. Why isn't there anything on the switch and that and that and that? No, not today. Oh, what's block? He almost got me there, man. Did you see that? Oh, he got me. Oh, my goodness. Can't blame it on the lag here. So that's the thing you can't. I guess you can't do this on a flat screen without some kind of really good scaler. Get out of here. Get down. There you go. I can't believe he got me. Tokidoki, what's up? But this game keeps you looking right in the sweet spot of the TV. That's the good thing about it. I'm out of energy now. Look, I hate this. Oh, no. There we go. It's R. Oh, my goodness. Look at that. I can't believe this guy's about to beat me. It's been so long. This is what always happens in this. I get to him. Oh, gosh. I'm toast. He's going to get me. I'm too old for this. I'm too old for this, man. All right. Well, there you go. So sad. So sad. Get a lovely scan line effect when you get beat down like that. Embarrassing. Well, let's turn that one off. Should we go to the next era? Go to the next era. Step up this a little bit. Let's see what. Let's see what goes on when we, when we skip it ahead. A generation. We're going to stick in Nintendo and we're going to go to the Nintendo 64. Check that out. So while I switch it over, if anybody has a suggestion on an Nintendo 64 game they'd like to see on here. Please leave it for me because I do have the Everdrive in and I don't have every single game loaded on there. But I have like 90% of them. So as long as it's not Quest 64 or something, we'll be all right. Oh yeah. Banding. We've got a lot of screen banding banjo. With George's mask. Oh, you guys are killing me. We can't do RPG. Well, I guess platformer. Those are platformers aren't they? I'm trying to think of ones that will look good and dark. I have Mario 64. Ronnie's probably right. That's the most typical one. That's, that's, look at this. Look at how my, what happens to my menu down there at the bottom? You see that? You can see it really, really sag. Oh, Starcraft 64. What about, yeah, there's some bad ones. We're going to start, I mean, I don't want to show that for like Turok. I'm trying to think of things that wouldn't have bright backgrounds. Let's see what Mario looks like. He might be too bright. But that's so typical and that's one that actually looks good. Should look good. Yeah. There you go, Glinder. You, you are, you, you've got me right on there. I thought, I don't, I was waiting for the Quest 64 request. Belmont, good job. I think it's going to be too like bright-ish. Look at that. Look how it gets washed out on your screen. It doesn't look like that on my screen, but it is bright. That's, that's the issue. I can't really make any adjustments to the screen without the menu or the, Oh, look how bright that's way too bright. That's way, way, way too bright. Yeah. That's going to be different. Oh, it's going to flash. Oh, don't look, avert your eyes. So there you go. I mean, if you're in person, Mario 64 looks great on this TV, but it doesn't, it doesn't translate well. I don't think I have that Smash remix. I do have regular Smash. All right. Let's see here. Let's see here. Trying to see something that has that dark background. It's the same thing. It's the same problem. It's the same problem with most of these games. It's just so bright and colorful. Unless you go full on. Oh, how about this? Let's see. Let's see how DK64 looks. I'm going to watch this with you. There we go. Yeah. I think Jake's got you there, Belmont. Oh, the rareware icon. You know, perfect dark would be good too. Oh, yeah. That's like punishment. That's real punishment. Trying to play something like the Castlevania game on this, I think. It looks like these guys should be slipping off the sides, you know. Now, if I'm going to actually play a game, I'm probably going to have to play something that, I don't know, I should have just said Mario Kart. That would have been a good one. This one looks good. At least it's got a dark background. It's not flickering. The entrance is great. I think you can get a good vision here. Look at that. Look at that. Woo, baby. Such a weird time. I remember thinking this was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Really? Yeah, the wind, I know it looks like they're about to slip off. When I was a kid, I would have never thought about that. I would have said, oh my gosh. The first time I had a Trenetron, I can tell you this story. It was when I moved to college because my roommate was rich and I'll never forget his mom and him walked into the dorm. Went to Western Kentucky University, home of Big Red, a Big Red blob. That was the only thing we were known for, was the Big Red blob. And he walked in, first day of movement, well, first day of most people moving into the dorms, opened at the school. He walks in with this huge Trenetron box and it had a 20 inch high end badass Trenetron in it. And we lived on that Trenetron. And I was like, holy crap, this is my first Trenetron. So I loved using it then. But yeah, it was a fun Trenetron. So this would have been like the really cheap version of that. But this was 2006, the time I was talking about golly, that would have been 2001. So five years before that. Five years, the first one, golly, that's crazy. I didn't actually have a Trenetron until 2001 when I went to college. I can't think of ever having one in my house because my parents never had a Trenetron. They didn't have anything Sony. They never had the money to, or they were buying stuff like that, never. If it was any of that, it was us kids buying the PlayStation. No TV in that way. Hey, Game Junction, that's awesome. Five CRTs from the first store. Wow, there you go. This doesn't look half bad. I don't even know if I ever played this game. I certainly have it on this cartridge. Oh, there we go. We're getting some flashing now. Come on, baby, stick with us. The danger zone. The danger is you never know when you're going to have to be warned about an epileptic shock from the camera glitching on the frames. Remember you thought this was the coolest effect? Now look at it. Boy, it's really ages like cheap wine sometimes. That's all I can say about the N64. There's a couple of great experiences still have to be had on it, but check it out, man. This is full composite video. Again, we don't have anything better than that on this set. Just composite video. Thankfully, it has a pretty decent comb filter. That wasn't a hard thing to get to work with a real CRT. It says it has game mode on it, and it's in game mode. If I turn it out of game mode, it might actually get... Let's see what happens, actually. This menu... Oh, it just gets brighter. Changes the color. But I can't change anything else on there. Oh, there we go. Never mind. I just can't. What am I, dummy? Oh, contrast is turned all the way up. Granny had the contrast turned up. You know, I like to turn everything down. Let's get a little darker in here. Oh, we're going to turn game mode off. We're going to darker mode. All right. We're about to tear into this one in a second. Is this still cut scene? We're still in an intro scene here for Donkey Kong. Ma'am. I mean, I believe this is a record. This is the longest... At this point, this is the longest Donkey Kong intro scene ever in any video game with Donkey Kong in it. Like, that island just fly away. Look at that water. It's 64 water. It always looks the same. It's like somebody drew that water and they just stuck with it. And it stayed that way, even up to like Grand Theft Auto in the PlayStation. Dithering water. Yeah, RCA did actually soar in line. RCA made some awesome presentation monitors that are just as good as the NEC XM and XP series if you can find them. They're even multi-format. They'll do 480p. They have RGB inputs, multiple inputs, but their RCA versions are hard to find. I've never seen one. I've had friends of mine in different parts of the country and the world tell me about the ones they have. I actually have another RCA television from the 80s that I really like. It looks much better in the corners than this one. It's a little bigger, but it's got the old wood grain on it. It just has composite video. Stereo audio, though. Goodness gracious. This cutscene, folks, is still going on. I'm not even going to play this after this cutscene's over. Look at this. Look at that slimy alligator three-finger bastard. You're going to get him. If you could fix and improve that screen bow, it would be a really nice TV. It would be a great value TV. As far as everything else on it looks pretty good. It's just that bow so far is the biggest problem. And the convergence is trash in the corners. It's got terrible, terrible... Is that dynamic? Static convergence? I can't remember. Keith's going to kill me if he comes on the stream today. Keith Rainey is going to say, why did you mispronounce that? It's Xbox ready. Yeah. All right. Well, there you go. The cutscene is over. The song has ended. And I think that maybe we should turn the lights on in this place. And I should go over here and maybe start taking this TV apart and see what's going on inside of it. There you go. Dynamic is the edge and corner convergence. That's it. All right, folks. It's happy, happy dude Diddley. Goodbye to the CRT time. And then when I turn it back on, we'll hook it up. We'll hook it up with this. We'll use the Sega Genesis coming back once we... Well, here's what we're going to do. Really dark. I'm going to sit over here in the light. Find me in the light. Over here in the light. So I'm going to use these lovely things. You know these. They're from Frog, Todd, Retro Frog. They are the Genesis 2 composite video cables. Awesome cables. We're going to use these with the Sega Genesis 2 here. Wham. Wham. Wham. There you go. Somewhere in there you'll get a good shot of this. The first ever drive I ever bought. Right here. The first one. What is this? EverDrive MD. The original EverDrive MD. Wow. So yes, let's switch over now. I am going to have to change that camera. It is going to be super slam jammed all the way up in there. Look at that. And I've got to get it resized for you. Isn't this lovely? Yes, I'm here resizing my screen for you. Sorry I didn't do this ahead of time, everybody. Look at that. Yes, I know. How lovely is that? That's pretty good. Let me do a little smaller. We're going to go with a little bit of a letter box theme because I just love letter box stuff. You know, I actually try to find things that are in a letter box format. Yes, this one has been tripled by past modded. Not by me. By a friend of mine. It's not under, it's not RGB moddable. PS1 freak says, is that true? Could be. I have no idea. Could be a non moddifiable. So we'll find out. Alright folks, let me give you a little bit more background music because you need something to listen to. I'm going to set my microphone up. Give it a little bit better angle. If you haven't already folks, please do as a favor, hit that like button. You want to hit the like button. If you think the Sylvania is amazing. If you think it sucks, you can hit the dislike button. I won't be able to tell. No one will be able to tell anymore. We're going to power that thing off. Let's see if I can get us like a multi camera. We'll see, let's see what happens. Okay, it's not too bad. You can see kind of things. See a double vision here of me. This is great. Here we go. I'm going to try to, see I turned that off. And I'm not going to be able to, it's like a, Hey, do you know what I mean? This is what it's doing. Music it's going. Hey Steve, open me up. I'm going to shock the shit out of you. That's what it's saying. That's what it's saying right now. So this might be the first and last stream of 2024. So you better hit the like button because it might be your only chance. Everything's unplugged first off. Everything is unplugged. Let's flip this one around. This guy's dirty. Let me just find my, yes, this is my stick lady. I'm sorry. What did you expect me to bring to the party? Oh yeah, I can hear that. You know, sometimes you just hear that sweet, sweet plastic crack for the first time. The screw has not been unscrewed in some time. All right, we're going to get another one. I know. We're going to need a good strong zap from multiple angles. Like, did you see the last video I had of the Sony, Sony's scary zap thing? That, that got like 30, I don't know, 30 or 40,000 views. I haven't checked it. It got a lot of views than the one five, six weeks ago. The phone's going to be a little quieter right now. I hope y'all are still here with me. We got a couple screws here at the bottom I got to remove. I think we should be good to move. Good to go. All right, we got two at the bottom. At least two. Well, son of a gun got a third. And a fourth. Inside of this sylvanian scene. You probably can't hear me, but maybe you can. Just, man, these are different sized screws too. Yes, sir. See, Arte's alive. That's less than ideal. All the screws are here to count and fall. Check it out. What did I tell you? This is going to be a cheap one. Look at how tiny that neck board is. My goodness. I don't know if I can get in here. And actually zoom in with the good camera. Yes. It's there. There we go. More light. Let's go over to this camera. Oh, yeah. Look at that. Look at how tiny, how tiny that is. It's a little, little, little, little neck board. Look at this board itself. And I'll bet you there's a bit of this. I bet you this board is a perfect rectangle. And it has this. Yeah, you can call it the Dorito. I love that stuff. I bet it's got this Dorito size cut out in that board down there where they've put it together. I have to get. So here's the first couple things. All right. This, this set's not really meant to be messed with at all. Okay. Cause it's got, it's got zip ties connecting everything. So it's not like, whoa, you know, unless you got more zip ties. All right. So there you go. Hey, look at this. This is where you're, you're enjoying. It's going to give you this tube. We're going to find out who made this tube. It is a FUNAI tube. FUNAI. That's what that says right there. FUNAI. I don't know what the heck FUNAI is. Here's what I want to do. Maybe I can get some light up here at the top of this thing. There's no way. And Satan's great bosom that this thing has a bleeder resistor built into it. It's got to be charging a zap from hell right now. If we went up there and touched under that anode cap. And it's just my hunch, you know, it could have no, it could have, could have no charge left in it, but I don't know, man. Of course, Mighty Squirrel, we're just confirming. We're confirming, man. We're confirming what turned this thing is. Look at this. I wanted to look at that, that, that yoke. And there's nothing, that yoke is the same yoke that's been used in the television, television, TV since, gosh, the 1980s. It's a crappy one. Nothing special about that right there. That's just junk. Great a junk. Okay. Maybe I can just do that. At the same time, the camera's nice and safe and far away. Ooh, that's going to be a nice angle. I'll get some more light. All right, please hit the like button. So, folks, you do not, you do not want me to get zapped. This is the true danger zone. To the danger zone. I mean, if I, guys, if any, if any tube, look, here we go. If, I don't know where to go. If anything's going to do me in, if any tube's going to do me in, it's going to be a fenni. Okay. If it's going to screw me over, if I'm going to get done in, it's going to be a fenni. Right? It's just the way the world is. The fenni did Steve hit it. All right. Well, here. I'll go to the other, other view for a second. I'm not going to discharge it just yet. I'm going to show you what I'm doing. I'm connecting. There's a, there's a ground cable right here connected. Ground cable connected. And then we're going to go right under there like that. I'm going to go right under there like that. Come on. Put, you better put fenni, fenni did me in on my tombstone. I can't, I can't. He just started getting zappy when I got close to him. Oh my goodness. It's just like getting electric. I'm afraid to just lift that cap. I got to get something to pull it up. Hang on. Okay. Did you see it? Did you see that? Did we turn it on and do it again? I don't know. I don't know if anybody, if you could slow it down. There it was. That was it. That was it. Let's see. Let's do something fun. Let's do it again. All right. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to plug it back in. Okay. Oh, turn it back on. Turn the screen on again. Okay. All right. You saw it. It was turned on. Hey, if you missed it, I'm about to do it again. Okay. Now I'm powering it off. I'm about to do it again. This is your last chance. Hit the like button. Share the video if you want somebody to see this. Because you know it's about to happen. We just proved it, dude. We just proved it. All right. I can't see. I'm going to do that view again because I feel like it's good. I just don't know if I can get closer to it. I just don't know. This is live. Okay. You'll see it. I'll let you know when it's coming. I'm just going to try to get set up. So maybe help it look a little better. So hit the like button. Really? What else are you going to do? You've got over 60 people right now in this lovely stream. We're about to do it again. If I stuck my finger in there right now, it would be so bad. I would just probably get... No, I'm just kidding. I didn't get zapped just then. All right. Let's... Oh, hang on. Here we go. I'm about to get ready. I'm about to get ready to go back in. Okay. I've unplugged it. Power supply's off. And so you're going to see me. I'm going to flip it up and then I'm going to discharge it again. All right. Here we go. Here we go. Are you ready? Are you ready for a little more zappy, zappy action? Zappy, zappy. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm okay. I'm okay. I promise. I'm just joking. There we go. That's the spot. That's the spot. All right. Wait a second. Wait a second. I can't believe it. But Jonathan just came into the chat with a great idea to turn out the lights. Oh, I love that idea. All right. I love that idea. I don't think I can go closer with my camera. Closer there. Cool. Yeah. Look at there. We're going to get it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. Hang on. This is excellent framing here. This is like award-winning stuff. Okay. Sorry, Jonathan. It's your fault, man. Just kidding. All right. Here's what I'm going to do. Just to prove to you that I'm still here. I'm going to come on the danger zone. I'm going to come on the danger zone and show you what I'm doing. I'm going to, well, I'm going to plug this back in. First off, it's fine right now. Plug it in. Can you see it? I don't know. You can't plug it in. I'm going to turn the power on. Oh, I hear it every time. Watch. Okay. So now it's live. It's like, you can hear that energy in there. See, watch the rec cam so that you can see it was hot. Okay. It's hot still, obviously. I'm going to, it's powered off. I'm going to cut off, cut off the surge protector. Obviously, and unplug that. So there's nothing plugged in right now. Okay. I've got to get this right. Yeah, we're going to do with the lights out. Turn these like over. I can't turn all the lights out. I can turn everything. So I can't turn my monitors off. My monitors will still have light on them. So I can turn that light off. I'm going to turn the overhead lights out now. And then I'm going to do the same thing. And we're going to go for a blue jar. Thanks, Mark. $1.99 Super Chat. You guys are awesome. Super Chats are always appreciated, but literally, yeah. If you just want to help out by liking and sharing, that's awesome too. Thank you, Marko. Here we go. We're going to go in one more time. We're going to do the discharge here. I'm going to discharge it. And we're going to turn the lights out. And I don't know, you might lose focus. And even though the lights are out, it's going to be a couple seconds. I'm going to pull it up like I did before. So right in the middle of your screen, right about here where I'm pointing, you'll see the zap. It's turning the lights down, though. Just turning them on and down. And let's go. You can see my hand there a little bit. Two. Recount. Three. Two. One. Oh, discharge all over your fucking glasses. Sorry. Didn't mean to say that. I mean, we pay them a dollar. We're all here. Everything's all right. But that's what you do. That's the FUNAI. That's the FUNAI effect. Were you really concerned? Were you concerned about your voice, Steve? Getting hurt? Were you concerned? That was never going to happen. Come on. Never going to happen. I've got my protective windbreaker on. You know? Don't you know the rules? Unless I'm like ghost dad right now. My friends only time I want to reference anything but myself and Cosby in the same sentence. For science? Exactly. So the thing is, it probably could come in and discharge this thing again. Let's see. I don't know that it's going to make any difference again. But I'm not going to go, I'm going to do that. So I just went flying. There we go. That's fine. It's just that FUNAI effect. So, we have to discharge again. Because it's probably, it's probably still got electricity in it. Because the FUNAI effect is it will shock your ass. That's not an acceptable view. Let's see. Nothing on there anymore? Still baby. Man. You really take for granted. You really take for granted that bleeder resistor when you're used to working on Sony's. Now, I still have, I still have a wager with you, the audience. You know it. It's that, I told you there would probably be a cut out of this, a cut out on the board here. That's in the shape of this neck board. Let's move that back a little bit. Hey Robcat. Thank you, thank you, thank you. $2 to help cover the swear for FUN for the kids. See, yeah, sorry. I didn't, I didn't anticipate so much electricity today. But to fairly warn everybody, I did put down this wasn't for kids. Yeah, if there is a reason to redo the carbon paint, if it goes away, you should never mess with it as is. But if it was ever washed away, you could redo the carbon paint on there. All right. So, the neck board, right here. Just pull right out. Right there. There we go. Let's connect it over here. This little, take the, unplug the yoke. I mean, I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sometimes I feel like a 12 year old boy, but you know, you just saw three live discharges on stream. And you know what? All of this is completely advertiser friendly, aside from my language. So think about that. We're really ahead of the time here, right? You know, streamers doing it. Like it should be done. Gotta make sure there's not something hold it in the bottom. I'm having a hard time getting out of this. Oh my goodness. So, I'm not even sure about this thing. It looks like it's possibly being held in by a screw that's way under here that I'd have to remove the whole tube to get to it. I honestly can't figure out how to get it out of there. Golly. Okay. So, unfortunately, that's probably as far as I'm going to go. I can tell you that there is a deep Doritos-sized cutout in the board, like I told you there was. But I'm going to have to go in with the rack camera to show you. Do that in there. My finger is right in there. Hang on. I don't know. It's hard to see. Hang on. The cutout is right there. There's the cutout. Right there. My finger is in it. It actually connects up top. And then, see, over here, there's a screw. There's a screw way up there where my pointer finger is. You can see it down in there. Way up in there. There's a screw right there where my pointer finger is holding the thing down. And I can't get to that unless I take the tube out. Stupid thing. But there's no... I couldn't really find any latches. Here we go. So, we're going to... We're going to put it back together and hook up the Sega. All right. I'm not going to put this together. You don't have to worry about that. But I'm going to go ahead... Belmont. I have a nest. It doesn't... I don't know, man. RGB modded it. And I think there's something wrong with my board. RGB board. And... So, it only works partially. And then... I have a toaster that's just unmodified, which I could use sometimes, but it's boxed and it's original box. So, I don't really pull it out. What I need to do is I want to get just a mister kind of to do... to test different consoles because it would be easier. It's just these are the ones I have most handy. There we go. We got hooked up. And then, we got to use the power brick for the genesis here. There we go. It's a little better. It's a little better. Let me even the screen a little bit for you. There we have it. Off. Plug in the CRT. And let's see if, like every other FNI, it's set to self-destruct after you discharge it three times. Here we go. One more chance to ask for, like, have a wonderful evening, everyone. No problem. Just joking. I don't think. Oh, there we go. Super dim on my composite output. It'll also turn the brightness down. But you can tell it's there. Game mode will get us a little brighter. TV with game mode. Isn't that funny? Ooh, I know what we can do. Since Bellmont's here. So, as you can tell, the TV still works. It's good. The problem is, a little bit too much heat from the lamp as far as, like, actually, I think I can just hit this light switch to go out. Oh, yeah. There you go. Oh, baby. You know, this might sound a little odd, but to me, the fact that you can find CRTs, like, this is a fun CRT because, you know, just like, just like the hours on the clock never change, you know this thing's going to zap every time you discharge it. I love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Get some things resituated over here. Look at how two different cameras can interpret the colors there. Real time. Look at that. How awesome is that? Right? This will pretend we're, like, a real streamer. Ooh. Let's play some retro games. Here we go. Definitely going Eric. What's this? Ooh. Is this, like, scanline vision? Ooh. This is going to give you a good shot of the center, the, like, money shot zone of this TV. Ooh, look at that. Oh, no. Let's go back here for a second while we're struggling on the Steve Cam down there with low light. Jazzy zombie killings Jazzy zombie killings Jazzy 16-bit zombie killings Don't you love those zombie killings? Got the jazz in the background and we're going to kill some zombies. Yeah, that's what I think, too. P.O. I mean, if you're, like, if you're just looking for a set and you don't want to be overly complicated, you should just get this. And you know what? Enjoy Composite and whatever composite and RF solutions, I guess you could say. Ooh, look at that. Oh, Daddy. Daddy. What's going on here? Why can't I get that last spot? Give me that. Give me that book. You know, it gets you a nice composite video switch. Like, you could even do, like, something cool, like probably a composite analog old-school A.B. receiver set up and get you some nice audio to go with this, because that's the thing that sucks, though. The audio's terrible. It's got a tiny speaker and the speaker's located at the bottom of the set. So it doesn't even amplify very well. And it's aimed, literally, at the ground. It's aimed at the bottom. So, ooh. I exposed myself. It's not a real gamer. This one reminded me a lot of PO-17 of the Emerson series that I'd seen before on it. I don't know why I did that. But, um, I've seen a lot of Emerson's that are at shows. But they all tend to have an even thinner frame, which looks better. A bezel. And what else have they got? They have stereo audio every time, just about that I've ever seen. That was a bad throw. Ooh, don't torch me, man. Don't you know I survived getting, uh, I survived a discharge today? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a very basic one. It would be nice if this one had the, uh, what's going on here? Oh, yeah. It would be nice if this one had the stereo audio. There's a version of this TV that does. Whoops, I wasn't even looking, guys. So, anyway. I think that's probably a sign here. A sign that I've given you enough. Turn the lights on. I can't never tell. It's live TV. This camera's always old faithful, I call it. So let me give myself a little light. Now, don't worry. Because I will do a full video on this television. Like a regular episode. And I'm going to do more. I'll figure out how to get it out of there. Even if I have to take it apart, I'm going to do that for a video. And try to service a little bit. I'm also going to order a remote for it. So there will be more to come on that in 2024. I'm not promising when that'll actually come out since this is mine. I'm going to do a little storage for a little bit. But it was a great, fun stream. And I think that if you see a Sylvania TV, don't just say, oh, it's a Sylvania. Who wants that hunk of junk? It's a pretty decent picture. Pretty decent. Seriously. Right? So, anyway. Thank you all for being here today. As always, your wonderful audience. I had a blast today getting back in the saddle. Getting a fresh bunker episode out here for all of you. And I hope you had a good time too. I hope this warmed up your household a little bit today. Sorry about the adult language. But, this one is not safe. So that's what it's going to do. It's going to hit that click baby thing. It's going to be the least safe CRT I could show at Discharge all the time. Thank you all for being here. Let's plan for a second show this week to make up for the lack of content last week. Let's plan for a second show. I cannot tell you whether it be Thursday or Friday. I'm hoping I can do one Thursday and then maybe I can get the episode out Friday. But I can't promise you. I don't know. I don't know for sure. So anyway, thank you again everybody for being here. I really appreciate you. I'll see you next time.
