 Welcome to Retro Tech. I wanted to do a special episode today. It's a first pick-ups episode that I'll be doing and This was from the trip that I just finished up over the weekend to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Those of you who follow this channel for a little while have seen me working on a lot of Sony PVM 2030s and I was just able to deliver those four to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. They were very pleased with everything. I actually have my assistant go with me. Take some video of the whole transaction and while they were testing the monitors the whole behind-the-scenes thing at the museum And I'm going to edit that together because it needs a lot of editing and I'll be releasing that later in a video series So you can just see kind of what it's like behind-the-scenes when I go in and just Offer and you know service some of these monitors today though I want to again go over the pickups I made when I was going through the Northeast I had to go through a long drive from Nashville up to Northern Virginia and then up to Pennsylvania and then back down again and back to Nashville So it was a big circle and while it was on that route I stopped at about eight or nine different thrift stores. Some were chain stores like Goodwill and Some were just mom-and-pops local stores So I wanted to show you what I was able to get from those So basically, let's just start with it. Obviously the big man here is the Sony 27 inch Trinitron and this one I'll take you around back to look at the back of it But this one was made in 97. It's got an S video. It's got composite inputs But it needs RGB. So let's just think about how we could you know, maybe RGB buy this in the future It's got a great picture on it. It was $15. It came with the remote I was really shocked to even see it in the store. And so I picked it up While I was out on the road after I delivered some other things I got I went and I spoke with a nice lady who was a widow whose husband Was a was a friend of the family who used to do some video Video work in his house and she actually gave me this little monitor here, which is just a little 8-inch Tony PBM You could tell by looking at it. It's got something wrong with it One of the colors isn't working right on it So it's going to need to be trouble shot and worked on but I had to of course loop it up here and For obvious what you can see in the background is I got this great special edition Running man DVD and the reason I picked this up was a great almost brand new was a dollar, but it had remastered 4x3 format on the DVD which I love that so I can watch it on these and this is running through S video Full screen and it looks amazing on these TVs. It's just a whole lot of fun to use it Let's talk about some other things. I was able to get this interesting toy We're from time banded toys. This one wasn't a thrift store for $3 and he's called Frankie the time banded it just some vinyl collector's toy It's worth about 30 bucks. Maybe but very interesting out for $3 Couldn't let it sit there in the box brand new practically I do go to Goodwill's and One of the things I like to look for in Goodwill's is through their CDs and Big box things that are not just where the DVDs are obviously I look through the DVDs and see if there's any games there I love to get things like this, which this is nothing that special, but it's a big box PC game these are getting harder to find especially if they're complete like this one was So I bought this one to just add to my collection Now some of the other things I was able to pick up when I was in the Goodwill's One of them had a huge stack in the CD section of PlayStation one games And I mean I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I said, oh my goodness. They just set it out maybe within a couple hours probably and You can see here everyone of them's got a sticker on it, but it's got I mean it's some pretty Amazing titles here. It's about 15 or 20 of them. None of them were too much more than you know They're all about three dollars None of them are that bad or anything. There's a lot of Crash Bandicoots and this was the real store You're $2.99 for this Diablo all these games work and are complete and That's why you got to go look through that stuff. I mean these are all pretty big name titles that will be easy sells if I wanted to turn around and resell them and Goodwill's are different depending on what region of the country your Goodwill is in So if you're in a Goodwill that's in the southeast They don't tend to mark up all their stuff all the time They tend to leave it out on the shelves and just try to get rid of it. So always look in there I hate to give away my tips, but you know, that's that's fine Now I did get two bigger things and they were gifts from my father and so We just went through father's day. I'm a father a dad and I just want to say really thank you to my dad for Helping out helping out retro tech again. So just wanted to say I hope everybody had a great father's day Yes, yesterday and that I Wanted to say thanks to my dad for helping me get some things that were much needed for the channel The first thing is this new Well slightly new Nikon camera set which will Upgrade our quality of video here at retro tech So look for the future videos that start becoming from this as soon as I figure out how to use it really well We're going to just roll right with it. So that's exciting and The last thing is this big air compressor. Just move around and let you see a big air compressor here that will help Complete some of those hard jobs and help clean and make cleaning a whole lot easier It is August 1997 KV 27 V 26 27 V 26 and here's our inputs So what I'm going to do in a future episode is take it apart and just see what it looks like inside we'll do some maintenance checks and some cleaning in there and then we will research how to RGB mod this monitor TV and It will be in a few future episodes. I know this is a popular Consumer-grade television and people want to see what's possible with even consumer-grade televisions Thank you everyone for watching today's episode on pickups I hope you enjoyed what's seeing what we got and please look again for future episodes on a lot of these things especially this big tube and the smaller PVM where we're gonna have to do some repairs on it and I also wanted to let you know that we do have a brand new Facebook page It's just on Facebook.
