 Do why yeah, how are we doing out there? How are we doing out there TV land? How are you today on this? Wonderful Fun-filled Thursday after after breakfast I'd say for me it looks like console kids is here and he's enjoying some breakfast so I've been Sampling Sampled some new tunes here and So I hope you've been enjoying The fresh background music for today's show. I'll turn it down a little bit more and We'll get started here and special shout-out to my friend. I think it's Pase and He was watching he put out a tweet that he was watching the show on a Sony Trinitron Looked to be about a 13 to 20 inch if I had to guess so you win. Oh, yeah, there we go Tyson 505 watching on a View Sonic GS 790 Absolutely awesome. Send me a picture and you can win the next stream The next stream viewer award Tyson speck for talking on the spectrum. Good to see you here Michael Roz Wadowski, thank you for coming pukes the possum and mega cards Here early in the chat before the show show starts. So I'm just gonna hang out here for a second. I'm gonna tell you a couple of things before we get started. We'll let stream kind of warm up and Then we'll get started What's up Don honk? How's it going? So I'm gonna just turn the background music up for a second the regular viewers to the show may know that I do have a boiler system in this house and It likes to keep the pilot light lit So Sometimes it'll come on. It's just random times and I Have a sound filter, but I'd rather not risk it making background noise Thank You Michael. I think I am Thanks speck. Yeah glad I'm glad to you know, this is a little bit a little bit before my normal starting time of When I get started on streams I try to hit Generally that 1130 to two o'clock pretty much maximum during the weekdays and I'll tell you one of these weeks. I'm gonna do every day. I don't know which one Because as of today, I still have my in-laws are visiting so they I thought about maybe streaming yesterday, but that wouldn't work and And tomorrow the kids get to play hooky and hang out with them. So it'd be pretty busy day tomorrow Yeah, I'm just waiting hang on a second and we'll get we'll get going here. This is this is gonna be a fun one we're gonna Open this thing up, too. So at least we if we can get inside because there is There's a reason it's hard to get inside Inside of this tube television, right? then some of you already gonna know and and That's that's because you've seen these before this is a prison television, of course just like it says on the thumbnail I'm just The spurness is killing me right now The good thing is once it stops, it'll be like three hours before it does it again Or maybe not maybe my mother-in-law is upstairs like washing her hair or something. So you might just have to deal with it That's probably the reason it's running All right. Well You can let me know if it's any if it's a problem if the audios doesn't sound right. Let me know. Okay. I will Try to keep it as Good as I can maybe if I tilt the direction here. Let's change the direction on the microphone. Thank you mo Welcome in bonjour Again, we're gonna be testing this thing now this I give you a little bit of a backstory here I've had this TV for A year now this would actually be close to the one-year anniversary of when I bought this I bought this television when I was in Houston, Texas working for the Museum of Fine Arts there. I was contracted to work for three days giving some courses and some presentations and Also to fix a CRT, which was a Sony 2030 so did all those things and the Liaison or you know the guy from the museum who contracted me to do the work and Who's in charge of the department and everything the AV department? great guy and he You showed me around Houston some I hadn't really ever been to Houston before so went to Houston and He took me to a store called APO and Man, this was like a junk Haven This store was incredible Let me make sure That's what it's actually called. I'll look it up and see If that's gonna show up on here Just because if it is I'll give him a shout out because it's a small business and Let's see if they're even listed on The internet anymore, I'm sorry. Okay. It's not APO. It's EPO electronics electronic parts outlet And it is at 3753 Bondron Road And that's in Houston, Texas, and I will give them a free plug because that's That's the they were a cool store. You can see some cool pictures of their business on the internet there and That's where I walked into this store and I Actually purchased two TVs That you can see in that picture right there Hey, Aru. So the first one, of course, is the prison television that you see here. I bought it from the shop the Other TV is the one right behind it that you may be able to see it's that black set. It's a Sony CRT 13 inch that RGB modded on a stream probably three or four weeks ago so I Bought both of those TVs from there and I'll even show you this there's still the sales tag On the tube This one I still have the sales tag on here so we can see how much I paid for it Okay, I'm gonna clip it off With my blade here We'll go to the overhead cam so you can see me And then we can look at it. This is it. Okay Look at this KTV 13 inch CL RV Circa 2002 EPO who wants to guess how much I Who wants to guess how much I paid for this did anybody see it yet? Anybody want to guess? What would you think a fair price? I would pay for this me being the CRT sucker. I am Anybody want to have a venture a guess nothing will be made fun of it's okay. You can guess something silly I'm about to show you All right. Well, I'll let you guys find one your guess is there And I'll show you here. This was There we go focused for a second $135 No, man, I'm a sucker so I would have paid I don't know up to $200 that day for it So someone can call that expensive someone call that crazy someone call that a bargain to me It's a bargain. It's my this is my favorite CRT. I've never even really used it Yeah, a lot of people think it I overpaid for it. Obviously if I look in the chat That's right, I'm a sucker and I'm a researcher so sometimes we take it and We do what we can now the Sony I paid $75 for it too again If somebody was selling these in an electronics store, I was trying to be supportive of that and I Was happy so I want them to keep selling CRTs I think if they're tested come with the remote now this one didn't come with a remote because there was no remote with it originally But it was funny. So I went into the EPO. I saw this. It's like all the CRTs are up on the top shelf above everything It's crazy. I don't know why you'd put the heaviest thing on the very top and So there's all these CRTs up at the top shelf That's why I look up when you're there to find them and I look up and I see the clear one and I asked the owner. I said, hey, what's up? Ah, you sell him this one and I He said oh, yeah, that's for sale and that's how much you want me a son in 35. I said, okay. Yeah, I'm taking it He's like I'll go put it at the desk. So you don't have to carry around in the store So he gets it down and I'm like, yeah, this is one of those prison TVs And he goes, oh, no, no, this is not a prison TV I said, what do you mean? He said, oh, no, this is just like a A One they made with the prison TVs and they sold to the public Because they did that it's never been in a prison. That's what he kept saying and I was like Looking at him because I knew I mean this has been in a prison and I can prove it And I didn't want to argue with him because I didn't want him to change his mind and Not sell me the TV. So I said, okay And just stopped the conversation there, you know, sometimes you don't there's no point in pursuing Something if you're if you're trying to get something kind of so that was a bit of the situation and uh anyway I'm going to show you what I mean here in a second because I got this TV and I uh, I started looking at it closer And it's definitely as I said been in the prison system and uh, I'll prove it here Because it it's etched It is etched With a prisoner number Exactly T. W. W. That is the correct answer So we have the prisoner's information On this, um Thing here and uh, so well, I mean I'll show you that in a second from the different camera view So that's on there And So that's that's kind of it. I I mean he said it worked I may have power tested it One time and then I'm not gonna lie. I did have to get that thumbnail For this stream. So I turned it on real quick took that picture And then turned it back off But Yeah This is a real deal. This one's been in the real prison system and I have no earthly idea What happened To get it there, um I'll probably eventually do a full episode on this thing just because it's cool And it'll probably get a lot of views and I found clips from prison documentaries Where they actually talk about this this tv and other ones like it There's a couple different versions of it, but they all look very much the same And the wardens and the documentaries explain exactly the purpose of this television It's fully clear so they can see anything that may be hidden. There's contraband It's meant to be hard to get into so there are security bolts on it So you can't just use a regular screwdriver to get it open because if you could get it open then you could You know do all kinds of things then you could have shivs make weapons um Have a lighter, you know constant fire source With the wiring have a a torture tool with the anode cap Anyway, uh That's This thing has Just been sitting on a shelf since since I bought it and brought it back here from that trip with me to virginia so Yep Steph and see They do not have speakers. I'll show you that Hey abes game and skates. Thank you for coming in aroo soundwave double o tww video game pollock Thank you all for coming in today and joining us on this lovely Lovely thursday morning here in uh the united states so We're going to um First off, I'll show you the prison number, right? I'll show you the prison number. I'm going to go over here I probably should set the camera to autofocus for a minute Uh, so we're gonna while I set that up. I'm going to just get you ready. I'll go over there and I will There we go That way I don't have to worry about it being out of focus, but I'll go over there. I'll lift the camera up and I'll show you Um what it looks like so I'll just switch back to the main camera view that you saw here And then I'll I'll pick up the camera and I hope you can hear me because my microphone is quite a far away I'll pick up the camera Let's see here, okay Here we go So this is like an etch test right See how they've etched it right here to get To get the plastic ready and maybe the etcher warmed up Because they scratch in your information And they scratched in information here You can even see where it's got the prisoner's name number The actual date which was september 8th 2003 And then a signature from whoever etched it and approved it to go in and What I need to do now is I'm going to wheel this set Over here Into a different spot Okay Good. This will be this will be better so we can get A closer view of it Thank you everybody As always much love To the chat I've already made myself quite a mess down here But let's take a look here first see if I can get you a little bit clearer shot of what the back of this Set looks like so we do have Manufactured date march of 2002 So it would have been manufactured set in the warehouse till the prisoner ordered it KTV They only made prison stuff You know So that's interesting. All right, if you look down here at the back It only has an rf input. Okay, nothing else This is all solid. I mean there are vent holes But everything else is just solid plastic and I'm sorry the autofocus is still Not not the greatest on this camera. I guess Make sure I can get you there Keep you in focus there. Okay Yeah, so pretty standard back of a television except it's all clear only rf No real options to do anything power cable Is coming out The side over here. Okay It's a side view. Check this out. You asked about audio, right? audio So here's what happens you could tell it from inside they rip out The audio line that would normally be going over here to the speaker That's housed in behind this and it's been snipped The line has and they've installed this audio Receiver, you know for your headphones trss jack So there's no speaker. So yeah, you would need to speaker mod this Because uh, there's no speaker and I'll tell you why that is here in a second because there's a reason There's no speakers on these so you can tell that's what it is. See that my finger in that white point where the conductors go into the board on that connection that white connection that is your mono audio speaker Over here Maybe even wired for stereo. I don't know I doubt it But if we keep going This is the speaker bay and there's not even a speaker in there. It is just empty Okay Yeah, winter time. I might do that too. The only thing I'm really interested in is kind of cleaning it. It's filthy uh, but For the most part, this is not. Yeah, this is not like a piece. I want to be worried about having look awesome As far as like an rgb picture or something My because I've got so many other tv's and things like that that would look better and cooler I just love the way this looks as it is It's one of those pieces that has a full Uh, You know story behind it that's intriguing. So I don't know Um, I've never I'm not researching so we can look at the chassis and see if there's research on it today Okay So all we have here we do have uh some buttons over in this area Okay, we have a button board. Let me move that a little bit And this goes channel up channel down on the right side Volume up and volume down which again will be just out of that trss jack These buttons do not do anything the up and down button over here in the middle middle doesn't do anything there Well, we do have a left and right button one says picture and one says menu. So there's some menu In this surprisingly even though it only has rf. There's no like composite inputs nothing There's a power button right here And that's pretty much it I do not know what the heck happened to this thing because if you look over here There's all this There's all this white residue Down the side of this So I hope this wasn't like some playboys love machine over here, you know, I have no idea what that's from I do not know folks so, uh that came with the television set The white stuff But before we open it up or anything I'm gonna test it out. We're gonna play with it I'm gonna see What we can do with it first off so that the The initial thing I have hooked up here is just Some rf that yeah, the corax wipes, right? It's just got an rf going in to There I've used this, you know, the one you've all seen before the nintendo famous rf device and that's going first off all the way over into this n64 with this little guy right here for rf And this is an unmodified n64 A master safer. Yeah That's what we're gonna use And then I have a couple of other things we can do to pull up some test patterns So I don't even know I was trying to find out today if there's even a Good version of the 240p test suite for the n64 because I'm not sure I've never used it or anything So I don't even know if there's one on my card I couldn't find one on our team use actual download page today because I tried before this I did get the most updated version for a pc Graphics, so I thought p or pc engine core graphics. I thought since you know the big Analog machines coming out tomorrow. We'd use that for 240p test suite And we'll hook it up through composite to rf so First thing let's do that next Probably most importantly Set the camera up and not Not actually put it on the Autofocus anymore. I need to kind of get it set in the right spots, you know It's got to be close enough to where I can touch it right And mess with it at the same time. I want you to be able to see it Good picture With both of us in it Yeah, I figured it did suck. That's why I never used it and The thing is is I don't know about the way the n64 does that It's uh Hey, welcome in kp kp from Vancouver. Let's hope it's glue Let's hope the white stuff's glue. So I'm just going to power it on now It's a little flash I can hear To warm it up Let me Configure the video here And there you go, right the focus Right there. You're familiar fuzz, right? so they Yes, excellent Welcome to fuzz tv where you came to just watch live fuzz On this day so the reason There is The reason there is no Speaker on this is because Uh people would get into fights if they heard Different shows right If you had a show on you kept it loud. Could you imagine how many times I would cause a fight in jail? Yeah, so they were not going to let you have a speaker you had to do the Headphone so you could listen to yourself And not piss everybody else off Now everybody could do it Hey grail All right. Hey brian harman will d. All right. Let's let's let's fire it up the n64. It should be on the right channel Yeah, maybe not Oh, yeah, it is. Look at that. It's got the snow Got your snow right there Sometimes you can wiggle these things and make it look better. Holy moly. That's some snow, right? How bad does that look? I think this get too coiled Up on like the power cables. I got such a mess down here right now And it made me too long so channel four Is very fuzzy. Let's try channel three. Holy moly There we go. We got lucky that is crystal clear that is crystal clear Now i'm afraid to touch it again I mean that I can't believe how clear that image just banged out something Something must be a little loose inside that old RF adapter All right What did I do? I didn't even touch it Come on. Come back, baby. Well, there we go Goodness, okay, so let's first off go in here. I do not Looks like I don't even have That 240p test we loaded on this. Oh my goodness I don't think my adapter is working too great Before this goes too crazy Start a game This is the night. It's like come on Come on clear up. All right. There you go. I think that would probably be considered pretty clear Let's see Thanks for the nice strobing effect There you go n64 That's pretty Good compared to I mean I do have this weird sharpness effect that goes on on the On the screen there with the tv and The camera itself here it's not it's kind of struggling on that shot So yeah Oh, well, that's that's funny you say that tw w when I was uh When I was in the age group of playing the n64 originally I And that just looks crazy on the the playback there on the screen Anyway, we used to play of course is 64 4 player, whatever it was It could be bond a lot of times most of the time it was wrestling and you know, you're 12 years old you get super hyped and start yelling And like would be like Friday nights coming We're going to hang out all night and play in 64 together with You know like your buddy and he'd have younger brothers and they'd have people overseeing him with like a half a dozen kids hanging out playing in 64 till You know two in the morning and I'll never forget my one friend he every time it would be like midnight His dad had to work Saturdays And he was a grown big full pale Irishman with a huge belly And like this full white head of hair And man, it was every weekend. He would run down the stairs and yell at us tell us to keep it down in his mighty white little underwear His big old belly Just his underwear he'd come down there his name was Mike And we used to laugh joking. Oh, you better be quiet big Mike's gonna run down here in his underpants and yell at us If you don't calm it down a little bit so Yeah, that's uh, that's a good memory from the n64 days So this is again, just RF I think it's actually cleaned up pretty nicely. So Maybe we'll just let it run here for a minute. I'm trying to keep it on dark background so you can actually see the picture on there and Then we're gonna look at like Wait a second. No, I thought I was hearing something. I'm not hearing anything Yeah, that's what he looked like was santa beard beardless santa He used to come down. I remember there was this other kid that You know like It was funny to happen You meet them you go over you're like one of the newer kids to hang out and do this And so this thing happens for the first time in front of you and you laugh about it And then it happens again and again and again if you're good friends with somebody because their dad just keeps doing it every weekend and It was one kid though that would come over and really piss him off his name was ryan and this kid was definitely like a little add or adhd and The thing was is this this family would for some reason they'd always have a giant bowl of just like halloween's candy in the In their pantry. I mean it was huge and it'd be full of just amazing snacks And I remember being a kid who kind of was like the poor kid, you know So I'd loved going over there because I could just be like I can get a snack or two on there and it's really good But this guy this ryan kid he would come over and just start scarfing down the candy like I mean he'd be eating 20 25 pieces of this candy And then he'd be off the wall uncontrollable with energy of course because he was like a 10 year old And he used to make the the old man mic so mad so mad just There was pretty he pretty much got that what first happened was ryan ate so much candy that he uh, they eventually Whenever ryan was coming over which was less than anybody else because they got so tired of him They didn't want him over but whenever he was allowed to come over they would hide all their snacks And all the candy and they'd have soda pops too so they would hide all that stuff in like a lock-in Pantry to keep it away from him And then So he would come over and it would suck because the rest of us were like well dad gum We just wanted a piece or two. We were we weren't We weren't abusing the system But you know ryan's coming over so he's gonna act like an idiot But eventually he got flat out banned. He was just Not allowed to come over anymore even without the candy. He was too much At least on game nights That's how it gets the hidden. That's how it gets hidden like liquor cabinets and candy cabinets Right So you can tell I mean the rf's signal on here is pretty good. So if you were watching this in jail You would at least have a clear picture Oh, man, we were so mad at him for ruining it No kidding We were like dude, man I was I was like dude you're a jerk. You know you blew it You went too far man. You went too far But that happens. Oh, this is strobing out real bad I'm not sure that this is gonna be a good one to play because it's got so many background colors on it anyway Man just strobing a lot from that All right. Well, you guys are kind of getting the idea. Um, but this tv works Right, so Uh, rather than make everybody's head hurt by watching that We're gonna try some other things here. Um I do not know exactly like what sounds like a dark game like starcraft 64 is awful, but it sounds like it's going to be dark For backgrounds and stuff so it doesn't strobe on you like that Rumble pack support Blizzard entertainment so That's cool right there. Look imagine at a time when it was cool to have a What was that? What can I think of that elephant standing on top of a crt for a logo for your production company? So first pukes the possums ask what we're gonna do. I'm just testing it right now then we're gonna Try to get inside it after that We're gonna pop it open look at the hardware discharge. We'll discharge it. Maybe it's one. It's like the Toshiba that will pop. I have no idea And uh, because I've never I've never tried it. Yeah, it looks crts are so much easier when you find something with a good dark majorly dark background and You know, there you go So before we open it up Let's take a look now at the 240p test suite And i'm using this for that. Okay, we'd be using this, uh spark plug composite video And then that composite video is going to go into This little device I have here. It's just some old old device. Check this thing out. It is Let me Go over to the face cam. Look at this. This is like Just a converter rf modulator is what it is. Right? Okay So what I can do is I can go from this line into the television You can get picked sticks up melts from rf into it antenna in or I can do composite video with Um stereo audio and convert that into rf and send it through channel three or channel four Now this does require ac power And pretty soon i'm going to get a different device from mr. Add-ons To test out and play with uh for doing this going from composite to rf But this is what I have right now. I could use a vcr also If I have one of those handy, but this is much smaller and easier to deal with So it's just a little bit of an explanation there, but man, I I think this looks like impressive for It's exactly like you said this is what you would expect to see on a normal um A normal experience for a fuzzy tube with rf, right? Okay, I'm gonna switch it over now So i'm gonna go back to the overhead camera, which will be of course staring at the sun You can see You can see the tubes the down there in the corner I'm gonna stand up and switch it around now And hopefully baby i'll get a better picture set to channel three Now I I intentionally used an extremely short rf cable Some Tyson some systems like I know somebody mentioned it might have been you look great in rf sometimes and on a crt especially uh There's a tarry systems there that people mod for composite and the composite video looks worse than the rf I know that from experience all right let's go back to the main camera here, sorry And we can Use our little modulator here and get set up to Input our composite video So i've got you know just standard catch up mustard and mayo set to channel three and Turn the core graphics on First i'm going to move my n64 out of the way So don't mess it up and I might even have one more on system if you want. I was thinking about it, but we'll see Yeah kind of ready But it no longer outputs rf Here we go. Okay, so i'm going to power the system on lights on there and if you look at the modulator it will only show Lights there's an indicator light that comes on on top of there and that will only turn on when you actually have Video going into it so it can detect the signal If there's no light on there that means it's not detecting the signal so it won't show anything Let's go Hopefully this will be clearer than this was Look at that That clears it. Wow Oh my goodness Holy crap. I'm kind of blown away by how good I'm gonna try to get a better shot there for you Okay, let's see if there's any difference in this one. I've got here. Oh, there's a flash for you Definitely too much brightness on the tube right now Like you could turn the contrast and brightness down from here. This is good Okay, so you go up and down on your channel to go down to the menu That should help. Let's take that contrast down some Go back Same thing with the brightness That should help. Oh, yeah, you could see it much better now. I'm sure Let's go Sharpness, huh? I don't really want it to be too sharp color tent. We're not going to do those yet Is this just that's just color filtering I have no idea what the tv line is on this There we go. That looks pretty good. Good inspiration. Get rid of that man. That does function set up Antenna auto program. Okay, not really what I'm interested in It's just a programmer for channels For some reason it gives you double A ways to get to the pictures settings Function I'm afraid to hit that Close captioning off language English. That's it So you could change the language on this and blocking. I'm not sure that's probably block channels All right That's pretty simple stuff. I'm sure that if somebody finds a service manual Or we can locate one we probably get into a service menu on this somehow because it does have obviously some logic in it so That would be fun Let's start by checking out this monoscope pattern Sorry I am not familiar with the exact way That it runs on here because the controllers so limits. Oh, there we go It's up and down. Okay So there we go It's a little bit different of a monoscope pattern from Keith here Then the other systems have but if we look at it just from a geometry perspective, it doesn't even look bad I mean, especially since you can only get rf on this Let's take our tape measure and check out something about six in the name. Whoops Six, okay So unfortunately our aspect ratio is a little bit off. We need we're about um A quarter What's that you divide that by two. What was that? So we were like a quarter of an inch. So we're like an eighth of an inch out of uh Out of aspect ratio there. So that's something that Ideally we could correct pretty easily if we could get into there and change the vertical and horizontal sizing As far as like the pin cushion everything looks pretty stable And um, so outside of that I don't see much of an issue with the actual image. All right, so I just got a message which is good news. I have been I uh Before we go we're going to take this thing apart next before I do that. I'll tell you a little bit about what's been going on Um, I've been talking to my hey, raceroni. I've been talking to my buddy who did Organize if you've been here listening to the show right from the start today Um, I was talking about how I got this on my trip to museum To the museum in houston and uh the head Of the av department is coming To my area uh this friday to Do something and they're picking up a pvm from the shop and then He's coming in to check out the shop and we're going to sit down and do some some kind of filming I'm not sure what yet exactly because I think it's a cool opportunity. He asked if we wanted to do something like that I said actually it's a good idea. I didn't think about it at first but um, we'll sit down and talk on what's It what it's like from the crt Using crt's and the crt experience from a museum kind of curator and The museum side of how things work how it goes all that kind of stuff give us a different perspective talk about some interesting stuff on specific art pieces that they work on Anyway, that's just a little bit interesting stuff He's telling me on the phone that they confirmed that his troops trips going to work Yeah, this is the same. He's used to museum I work with them. I keep in touch with that guy His name is kirsten. I keep in touch with him and um I try to keep his touch with as many people as I can I did the work for the museum in new york But I've kind of felt bad because the pvm they bought they were running it, you know 24 hours a day for Six weeks and it finally just uh stopped working and Um, I tried to help them out over over the phone and emails, but then they I don't know whether they ever even tried to do anything that I asked them So that's kind of up in limbo with that Job, it's not exciting when something doesn't go perfect, but there's also that chance With a lot of these old machines that this was a 25 30 And you know how I feel about 25 30s So that's one of the few pvms you can just never really count on to not I don't know It could go forever it could just fry out one day because there's a flaw in the flyback Anyway, let's take this To the next level, okay so we'll we'll turn it off and um get everything unhooked i'm gonna Do one more thing on our Camera i'm gonna go back and put it on auto focus and Then we will Start to work On getting it back apart. So i'll put some more lights on and We'll start to tear it down Back up So let's first see if we can find out the security stuff on this monitor or crt. Sorry But yeah, that modulator works great. It's it's uh, it's really cool And i'm ready to test out the one mr. Addons has been making Oh, yeah, I've got a couple of those black and white tvs You know the funny thing is is they were since they didn't have extra colors They didn't have convergence and they're super sharp extremely sharp They limited run games bought a bunch of pvms and see of crt's bought a bunch of crt pvms And they use them for ads 24 7 Hey, I mean Whatever eventually they're gonna stop and they'll either have to throw them out or call me so If that's what they want to do with them The good thing is is a pvm at least Was made to run 24 7 and that's not generally a problem With most of them, but the 24 or the 25 30 Is really old some of those are from the 80s and it has a flaw that That's not on the other ones All right But yeah, this is a little rf modulators look pretty sick, you know, they they work they work good sometimes and that one does especially all right folks Definitely are unplugged And we have these deep cavities to get to these screws deep cavities So I see screw hole or screws securing it Here here There's one here There are two right here Let's probably take those two at the bottom out first And I can take the tops out and it'll At least hold itself together This definitely needs a security bit. Okay So I have this Universal screwdriver that takes bits, right? What's the bit look like you say let's see It's like this reverse star pattern I can't remember which one's that that's called So I have this like kit here of security screws not regular at all. It's one of these Six points that's going to be used Maybe this one I bought this years ago because there's always random crts. Let me see if I can get in Real close here for you Okay, see that's got the I can't remember what these are called. I'm sure somebody knows But it is a six star with a dimple in the middle Okay, and it's one of these. I don't know if it's this specific one There's probably eight different sizes I have here And so that's where We'll just have to Screw it in there and see If it fits if it doesn't we'll try a different one We're testing purposes. This may be the easiest To access So that would be okay Security torques. Thank you. Thank you Tyson. Thank you red cat This one the one I picked is too big So like I said, there's a bunch of these Sizes so I need to go with smaller one. Thanks Dustin Definitely Okay, I think we got the we got the rights. We got the right size there There's our first one. There's just no one to come out right now But it's loose enough where it will Try to use the magnetism to get it out. That's okay So let's get the other two at the bottom and of many talents. I am I can host a show Unscrew a security torques bolt And hold a crt with one. Hey show you a closer look at this torques screw. Many of you know what this looks like, but This is it Do you want to focus? Do you want to there you go? You like that? There you go. Ah, it's not gonna be worth showing you. Maybe you can see it there It's hard to see Oh Some people Probably do miss prison I spent a couple hours in prison, but I'm not talking about that Not prison. It's definitely not prison. I would say more of the, um local county Lock up for hour or two There we go Torques it is here we go We've got just two up top now. Whoops on me. Let me show you what you're working with here So you could have the the um, I did as I said a little bit earlier I did see a documentary about prison American prison systems During and it was filmed during the uh early to mid 2000s And I saw tv look just like this And the warden came over explain and oh, you know, this is the tv he's allowed to have But this you know the funny thing is when you go to jail or something They might have community tv's like they provided tv sometimes These would be more of the ones that are in like again prisons where you're in there a long time And they don't have community tv's or you want one just in your cell or if you're in some kind of solitary confinement That's what the documentary had a guy solitary confinement And that's what he Was using This thing's just so dirty too. It's never been cleaned There's three torque screws. We've got two left that are just sitting floating See Let's see if we can get this to slide open at all I said the little stain there that's like you see it's it's got tape right here too or something Maybe that's tape, I don't know Oh trying to get it to come off Not fly back screws nothing. Yeah So let's see. All right, hang on. I'm gonna flip this over in the back on its face Ward didn't want to come out. There we go First time it's been opened and 20 years I guarantee you 20 Years now did I forget my screws? There we go If we check this out, I mean he may be able to just Install rgb on this if you could again get into the menu. I don't know. I mean, it's definitely got rgb osd right here like It's written No, shit. It's written right here on the on the chip um right here on the That's the osd chip that you would have to hijack for rgb and like right here it says Osd rgb and then you'd even have voltage right there You probably could Pretty easily rgb about that. I'm just inspecting the board here right now. Just looking at it for first time Uh, if we flip this around before we do that Look at the tube It is It is an lg phillips a three four k pu zero two xx lg phillips tube. So that's why it looks good. It's a decent tube. It's no o ryan. I'll tell you that much It's actually good good tube phillips lg right So that's impressive. Ah, there's a just thick layer of gunk on this So we're gonna pull this board that way we can take a closer look at it Maybe from the overhead camera. Is that what we'd like to do? So that we can see The build out on it and I can look closer at like things like the chips Let's just start disconnecting some stuff. Here's our front board panel. Now, let's see. We could just do that actually So there's the front panel board D gauzer That's the d gauze The only other things are the the deflection yoke, which It's funny. Look what they used for cable ties for cable management. Not something I would recommend They used some leftover like bread ties. I mean That's okay for not without I wouldn't do this with live voltage in it, right? Why? There's an actual metal wire in here with live ends here. So that's really like using a poorly shielded conductor cable to hold The fly back and everything in place. That's just dumb They should have used something like so many uses which are as plastic made out of plastic So I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend that. I'm removing all those There's another one over here right there And then this cable goes to our audio And it looks like we could probably populate this board and add a speaker if we had one that would fit in there And there really wouldn't be any mod. It would just give it audio support. So I wouldn't mind that The other thing I need to disconnect is the big cable right in the middle that's connected to the Deflection yoke because that's staying with the tube And then we can remove the neck board. It's a very tiny little tube connector right here And with that out of the way we've got goodness So there's a ground connection that's permanent which I hate from the neck board From our neck board over to our ground strap for some reason that's been uh Connected with a real I can't remember what they're called du-punk connector or something So for some reason the ground is looped that way I don't like that at all Also, you can't remove these cables are permanently in place So I guess I mean It's gracious. That's kind of annoying because that means I should Cut it and then I'll have to reflow the solder and do it reconnect the ground cable with an actual cable and That's uh, that's suitable. Just a little annoying So Let's see Yeah, that ground strap So I'm just gonna snip this Hey, robin robinson. Hey, sendly deluxe I'm gonna just clip this and then I'll You know put a solder job back together on it and When we when we reassemble it So that's fun, right? Okay, you guys ready? Let's man. I'm wondering if we can get a little snap crack on top right now Are you ready? Let's turn down the music first off Make sure it's completely off. I'm gonna turn up this microphone So that you can really hear me. So I'm not gonna try to clip out I'm gonna aim the microphone over here And maybe I could switch to the main camera only And There's a look at that tube label Here we have our Lovely Tube so let's try to find the I'm trying to find the uh Discharge to trying to find the discharge tool. So hang on. All right. Give me one minute. I'm literally I can't believe I got all this far and I forgot where I put my dish. Oh, there it is Definitely need this today discharge tool homemade Okay this end safe No way of conducting electricity back here taped up high gauge wiring triple insulated Down to a soldered on alligator clip. Okay No need for a resistor For this job Here we go. Let's go back to the main camera So how about overhead first? So what I'm going to do is spend that A little bit so you can kind of see Everything and then we'll switch to the other view So I'm going to connect this ground line over here They can use that same grounding strap. There's a point down here I hope you can see I just clipped that alligator there Just Right down here. Now we're going to switch back to the other view And we'll see if we can get a pop See if we can get a pop And hopefully we can But just so you can see that That's where I strapped the ground lip too. I don't want to be touching anything Except I mean I could touch the plastic because that's obviously not going to Give us any electricity, but That's how we're going to discharge it so See which side is most likely to show a spark this side See if I go in that way we'll go or was it Do I try to Crackle that around Okay, it's just I'm not going to touch that cable Let's go in under here Here we go. Oh Maybe a little closer. I don't know You want to go closer? Let's see Close close close. There we go. That's pretty close I think I maybe we should go lower So we could see under the cap Right I'm trying to figure out the best view for you So let's just see I'm trying to lift that up All right Folks, let's see Look at that nothing nothing at all I'm scratching this thing down Pieces here but I've got to get to it anode Right there pulled out see that No current No current on that tube Definitely has a resistor Definitely has a resistor in it Somewhere So they weren't going to let these prisoners off of a wild A wild Chessie, you know Couldn't drag couldn't drag that that bout Here we go Here we go There we go So that's the back. Let me let me zoom back give you a look at the back of the tube That anymore And this is it That's it really nothing else back there, right? If we look at the back of the tube a little closer Got your Aquadag Deflection yoke Convergence rings Neck receptacle that's really it wedges no convergence strips No purity magnets ground strap Or input board and the gauzing strap and that's pretty much it So there's that one Yeah, sorry grail that's the way it goes a lot of times most of the time it doesn't it just doesn't zap and You have to prepare every single time as if you know It is going to zap right you have to prepare because if it zaps And you're not prepared you might accidentally hurt yourself but That's the brutal truth behind the Behind that the behind that the discharge of Stuff it's always like that you always end up either having a spark or You end up having nothing like that. So sorry. I know it's disappointing. I wish People always laugh at me because I would say i'm disappointed when When it doesn't zap And that's one of the reasons I wanted to almost keep that toshiba af That I showed you guys on the stream I wanted to keep that one because Uh, I thought it would be so much fun just to have as an example of something that does zap Sure, I've gotten zapped not by the anode cap, but by voltage from Uh, much smaller voltage, you know I've definitely gotten zaps. Let's take a look at this board here. This is our this our board. I don't see any label as anybody claiming to be main manufacturer, I don't see Much on here as far as like labeling for that. There's a board part number here k e c um But it's not as if this was specifically designed for this set only it was obviously a multi-use board because there's unpopulated areas And it would have been used probably for other sets. That's like you pick out this set for this design if we look over here Let's take a closer look at some of these chips Uh This is our Main What did I tell you it was our main? Jungle chip right here this samson So if we research this samson chip Maybe whoops, maybe we'll find that Maybe we'll find that it's where it's modifiable, right? So Um, I don't know. Let me let me flip this camera over so you can see it better Need to roll it a couple more times There we go. That's the correct one apply k Okay, okay. There we go. See this samsung chip. We read there s1 h2 1 6 3 c 0 1 a o samsung U 208 c and This jungle chip Who were to turn this over? Um, it does have A lot of things on it if we look closely here, maybe you can see What I was trying to tell you about It still looks pretty good. I mean the solder quality looks fine Actually better than most of them did for this time. See we have red rgb out Uh OSd rgb Right We're gonna have sink out. I don't know about sink in So if we because if we looked over here, I don't you know, it's not got a composite video input Or yeah, that doesn't mean It doesn't mean like it doesn't have that capabilities that could be somewhere on this board That there's actually composite video And then you could if but you would have to have a way to get into that menu Sometimes vcc is considered composite video. So I mean that could have been this could be an input point for sink Uh, you could find five volts you could probably rgb mod this but again, you'd have to have a um I I just don't see the point in it really as much I'd rather rgb mod something else and keep this kind of the way it is Here's another chip we have this is the k ec chip around here So first I thought this was any c but it's actually k ec So this must be the person considering themselves the manufacturer probably of the board because it also says k ec So there's the k ec brand and it's like I guess the company that would make this Kind of chassis for you if you wanted one As far as manipulating image quality with this board, there's nothing manually available for you to do that except for on the back of the flyback transformer where we have a g2 voltage potentiometer where you could increase the brightness and then The focus so you could adjust focus with this potentiometer right here Uh, let's look at some of the capacitors see what they got on there Sam You got the samsung You got the samsung jungle chip and the sam young capital capital sam Sam young capacitors Look at that Sam young capacitors who the heck is sam young? Sam young and samsung so There you go. I've never heard of sam young capacitors in my life They're 85 degree caps. They look okay, but they're probably pretty much Low-end caps i'm gonna guess None of them appear to be in bad shape. I don't imagine this tv had a huge amount of hours on it Probably should have but it doesn't look like it's been overused or anything It doesn't have evidence of that. There is a lot of dirt on here and debris it definitely needs some cleaning and That's pretty much it's not a overly complicated board a man if we're just looking at it From this kind of a perspective here Interesting. Sorry interesting. This must be like Kind of the ic for I don't know You're hot. Does it all go through that or is it like this because Oh, no, no, that would be this one. Here's the hot So there's not even heat sinks on a lot of stuff that you'd normally see heat sinks on right So this is your hot horizontal output transistor um There's other ic's here. This is the only one that's on a heat sink that might be For audio or something stupid. You never know. Uh, that's not even available really so Just looking at this. These are going to be kind of the capacitors more likely to have to do with Geometry if we ever we're able to do any adjustments on this thing Up here is our power area. So you have a power transistor Uh power capacitors filters transformer here There's a fuse right here And some caps More filter caps Over here is picture processing And then output video output or input. I'm sorry And that's really it Um Now it says you can use this portal here for wb White balance adjustment so you can Plug in something to adjust the white balance and this thing. So that's kind of a secret right And look here. So There's a tool dual. So we have the speaker. This is our inputs for audio. So we have a three prong here for for uh our stereo Headphones, but we also have a prong here for output of a single mono speaker Let me see if I can find a speaker that would fit in that So much junk over here. I don't I can't tell you how many of these little tiny speakers like this. I've thrown away over the years It doesn't look like there's one in this jar of EVM parts But if we could make a speaker fit in there and test it see if we can get it to just work Let's let's see what happened. Now, I know there's a Maybe it's in this one really must find a speaker I really must find because I want to try it That's about the most interesting thing we could try that maybe Maybe worthwhile because it's not gonna The set any to modify like that. Let's see Let's see if I found it So I found this speaker, right This little little speaker here Let's um I just do need a A connection cable You know, I'm not sure That won't fit Old style. I don't have that exact Like piece of plastic to fit in that Sleeve obviously, but maybe I can like Just solder it on right We'll see. I don't know what I'm gonna do with it. Ultimately What I can do This tv. I mean this What does this say? It's a speaker, but it doesn't tell me like Left or right audio right, so Anyway, if I were to say Try and like solder Sooner or if I tried to like solder one end of this To right there and one of this right there or I could actually do it on the back side right and then But I need to make sure I have enough cable to run to the front Down the same side as the input Believe it is Okay, that actually would be like the perfect length of cable here So let's let's do it Let's do this So do you guys get to check out voltars new video? That's pretty sweet Pretty fun video Always good to see Excellent mod work being done And I myself have been Thinking looking at I've got a couple three game cubes here. I need to modify them all so it's helpful for me to timing on that video So maybe we come in here Let me turn down this video of the mic my hot mic a little bit just a little bit turn up the Turn up the background music. We're gonna do some soldering here. It's soldering here. We're gonna introduce some solder Over down here. Let me get you a better spot. Look at that. This is This is what she came for, right? I wish I could get in closer like Worry a bit But a kid All right, that's really should be all we need We'll go Again, I don't know which which side's gonna be which so There we go That should be plenty plenty fine and then Let's be smart to just do some way to secure this cable here. So it doesn't just float around that'll work Maybe maybe we'll worry about that after we test it And i'm not sure which End of that's negative and positive. Although I could probably figure that out. Let's see I've just seen which one's on the ground loop, right? Let me see if I pull my Yep That's what I'm going to do is I'm going to put my multimeter into continuity mode And I'm going to try to find out Which one's the negative which will be on the ground Positive will not So we should be able to go ground to ground and get this thing to buzz in multiple spots on the chassis Right if it's the actual ground if it's not it won't Let's test this All right, we've got some beeps there So If I'm looking at like this ground down here, I wonder if it will up Okay See that There you go. So that's the the white is our negative Whites are negative. So we'll solder Why not solder the other end? So this is my speaker I hope this speaker is good Should be It came out of a pvm. It's an eight ohm Sony one watt speaker. I mean It's a pretty lame speaker. So it shouldn't really Have trouble What you can do is just solder that in kind of like that. I'll put a Well, I care about a Do I care about the heat shrink tubing? Yeah, sure. Why not today? Hope everybody's doing well enjoying this stream. I don't know Um It's a little bit different one If you are enjoying it do me a favor and give me a like Appreciate it and we can This is some small like this is gonna be difficult not to burn And get that tubing it's so tight it's so tight not to get that tubing heated up and shrink but premature shrinkage Premature shrinkage So we say we said the negative was the was the white lead. So We'll start off here with our positive Like that And we're gonna go like a couple handed trick here. Just get a little solder on that not as good as a regular old Yeah, see I definitely It's stupid to think that that wouldn't that that would matter, right? Look at that Of course my tubing shrunk because it's just getting too hot on the conductor there but Maybe I could have used the bigger tube anyway because it's not not like it's big enough I just go ahead and prematurely put it on there Then I can actually use two hands Right way Is that the one's gonna drive me crazy? That one's pretty good. This one's gonna drive me nuts I'm gonna go ahead and remove it if I can. Okie dokie Man if this works, that's gonna be funny What if you if this works, then I know like I'll have I'll have something to trade people if I ever end up in jail, right? Hey, man They what man Give me like Hook me up, man. I give me some of those Your tuna fish packets all RGB mod and Add a speaker To your tv set Eight ohms, baby Oh, you want a 10 ohms speaker, huh? That'll cost you two Two soups in a in a shank Probably should have held that up a different direction So it had gravity could help me a little bit on that Cool down cool down. Don't burn me All right, there we go a little trimmed up. I think that's good Let's check back to continuity mode you know most most uh Jails in America have now gone away from and I only know this because from tv shows, okay But they've gotten away from it Allowing people to have cigarettes like they're good And jail they make them use those stupid E-cigarettes Okay It's definitely reading Continuity good So now they all have to vape all day No cigs and even smoke a sheet in the big house no more Oh, what if we just put a dab of uh tape? I would use hot glue which may make some people upset But then I'd have to go find the hot glue gun. We can do it for a temporary hold in place, right? Little tape there Like that. Let's get this guy back in Back in his home over here Control panel, okay control panel at the front there Power goes here. We're gonna try a couple things actually before Sometimes when you Do this if I it might fulfill them both happen First we'll try it with it plugged in like that and we may have to remove that blood Okay Speaker basically we know it's shielded. It's a shielded speaker It just has to this reconnect this anode cap here Then we'll try out our modification So let's do it. There's that We need to re solder that round loop. Let's just twist it for now Gonna get some heat shrink tubing again Because we are gonna actually solder this together because I don't want I just don't want to deal with that possibly coming undone. It's big red. It's a big red one we'll do All right I don't know how far I might be able to get my soldering iron all the way out here without even doing anything Trying to attach this ground cable here Back to the neck board That's good Gonna be tricky with our fingers Just try that connect them like this Looks like you're really letting cool down cool down Yes, look at that I made it work All right made it work good. I don't have my hot air station put up Yeah, let's just gotta get this a little bit Mounts it the old fashion way Okay Make a little more on there At least for a tent here we go And Let's Just see if we can get anything to change here. All right. There's a good look at the TV sets. We're going to Give the power cable to there for the last check make sure Everything's good on the rear Plug that in with the surge protector still turned off. So surge protector still turned off. Okay Um Let's set up our test So I don't want to just Test it with fuzz, right? I want to test it with some real feel Game audio or something so I'm gonna set up for that and It's this Since a modulator was doing such a good job before let's try it again Here we go. Here we go. Here we go Okay All right, we got power. Okay. We're gonna get ready to crank this thing on Do that get that out of the way And we're gonna go back to the all camera and this is it. Hey Matt D. Welcome in Uh, yeah, some of them. I'm sure I have a ton of hours On them if they just left running all day as long as they were allowed to Okay A little bit nervous. I'm not gonna Sugarcoat that need to get the controller And let's just see let's just see hopefully everything went well It's not a serious It's not like a serious modification or anything. We've just done here. Hey demo Kirby. All right. Let's see. Let's power it on Oh my goodness I'm definitely hearing some fuzz. Hang on But that shouldn't be fuzzing from that, right? Let's uh Reset that And let's check out a game Holy crap Oh my gosh Oh my gosh, I was gonna blow my eardrums up. It was on 100 volume But look Guys, you hear it. I don't know if you can hear it. Hang on. Let me turn that music down on the stream Gosh, it sounds terrible though. The speaker is definitely like blown Hang on. Let me turn down the You hear it at all So we got I mean And you get the sound out of that now, but it sounds gosh awful I don't know whether it's picking up a lot of Hums from the Let's see. Oh, what's this? Just about in that screen spot Hey, we did it We added a speaker I might try to find a better speaker than that. I don't understand that sounds terrible Ah, it's just too much volume It actually sounds clearer that Thanks console kits. Yeah, so now we can piss off all the neighbors And uh, when we get to jail, we'll be like, yo dude, I got my clear tv. They probably wouldn't notice the speaker I don't know if you guys can even hear that like it's so tiny Can you hear it? at all Wonder if there's actually sound from some of these others interesting Yeah, I figured the noise filter was filtering it out a lot because of that and I can't Uh, my can't my microphones tied to this arm. It's got eight ties, right? I'd better off putting up the CRT Basically picking it up, but what I'll try to do is I'll try to softly talk and Turn it all the way out. I mean it sounds awful at that high It's awful The audio amps more powerful than the speaker man. It's like That's what I'm saying. You want the bigger speaker? You gotta you gotta give me the shiv The shiv I actually think that's a little cool thing to add and there's no Absolutely no harm in this mod like there's a speaker bay for it On there. It's not gonna hurt anything So that's a pretty good first introduction though to this set. I mean what else what do you guys think? What do you guys think of it? It actually looks pretty good there. Let's Let's turn that Whatever it is the Configure the video for you. Make sure it's not got Too much autofocus on it Gosh, that looks great. There we go. All right, everybody Well, maybe it just went out of focus never mind Anyway, that's pretty much it just A phenomenal fun Little you know tv to play with right guys and gals It's just that's what it's all about. It's just having fun With this Tube Gotta see if I can There we go. That should be the right spot Excellent Yeah, me too console kits. I love it. That's one I've been looking for for a long time and I'm glad I got it. I mean I Yeah, it's it's real easy and simple if you had even You know, you could pre-manifest pretty stick in a Speaker and I bet if we found Like what the specifications were coming off the someone smarter than me could tell me how to figure out The specifications on that speaker output and put a better higher Higher quality speaker are there so you actually hear it, but that's cool And then you could also use the plug-in on the side Hook up some clear consoles to it Oh, I don't have I'm afraid I don't have the composite video cable for my clear console Oh, very good. Well, I just see you got the magnavox. There's a magnavox version. Yes Um, and you might even you will find these up to 20 inches or 19 inches So there were 13 inches a lot and up to 19 inches magnavox does make one Ktv does make one. I have another clear tv, which I'll show you Some of you've seen it. That's this one clear z green z So this one was one I bought a long time ago The zenith clear and this one actually was made for Um after Market like not not the one that's made like this one for prison This wasn't for prison because they couldn't have a dark tinted Plastic and this one does have a speaker and you could get a remote for it. I don't have the remote for it But you could get one Clear k I don't know what the tv l is but uh, if you if anybody wants to go back I I did give the magnavox tube number. It's it actually is doing well. I mean what I'm guys what you're looking at is uh modulated composite video into or composite video modulated into rf, okay And by doing that it really cleans up the signal now Mr. Addons is coming out with I think one of these he said he you know, we've been talking a little bit a modulator Uh, so hopefully I'll get one of those and we'll take a take a gander. Yeah, you could pair it with the xbox or like the the green super or nintendo 64 Looks really good with that There's also a blue version of this translucent television The green one and I don't know if there's any other there might be something else I'm missing but yeah So that's probably not going to be it for like I said this cool clear tv I just wanted to have a cool thing to stream about today that really wasn't going to interrupt my work schedule of normal things and that I could kind of do and Get some attention have some people watch and then of course, uh, you know just Play around with you guys with this tv and then move on to something else and possibly revisit this with a real episode Maybe we'll feature like both the the clear sets But yeah, that's it That's it for them clear set And that'll do it. I think they'll do it for today's stream man. I appreciate everybody jumping in I know a lot of you guys were here the whole time I uh, thank you for that I have again a lot of weekend stuff going on with the family So this is going to be pretty much the only stream I imagine until next week, but when we get back next week uh Monday or so I'll come back and we'll stream some stuff and Look at whatever working on next. Actually, this is the weekend. I will tell you one thing. This is the weekend that The fw 900 that getting serviced is showing up. So That's exciting and so that will be Um, something that definitely is worthy of Some discussion All right guys have a great week great weekend. I'll see you in the next stream
