 Well, hello welcome in today and yes Imagine a time just imagine a time when accountability matters when you make a mistake instead of Tuck and tail and hiding I don't know behind ignorance or Maybe a miscommunication or whatever other excuse What if you instead Accepted the mistake and Changed things for the better and for the future and started doing things the right way. That's right Do not adjust your sets. You are at the 1985 PBS station Zapping you here Into a nice lesson for the CRT world now This is a new series and I'm kicking it off with a Live show so it's a bit of a hybrid I was describing it when I was teasing it and I'm calling it a hybrid because I'm there's going to be live Episodes where you can be involved and we can work on these things together and get the community involved And then there's going to be other episodes. I believe that will fall into the same Category and this same series that will be taped. Okay, and I'm sorry. I didn't have any good watchmen Rorschach music ready So it is a bit cheesy compared to what maybe you expected from the dark edgy Comic book and movie and everything else that's come from the watchmen. Hey So we're gonna get started here today, and this is all revolving this whole the Genesis behind the end this entire series is a conversation I had recently with Keith Rainey and most people in CRTs and into CRTs and on social media have Have heard of Keith and know his work and have seen and used his work in things like the 240p test suite and the Monoscope pattern and Anyway, I was having a conversation with him not too long ago and where we were discussing How he had been reviewing a service manual that he bought and This manual was just not available online at least details in it that were important to what we're talking about and That's adjusting some geometry settings on this specific model and that is the Sony PVM like 1340 series. So this is a 4-0 right here 1340 but this could be like 4 1 4 2 4 3 4 4 and it might even fall into the same category with those in Europe and other regions like the 1440s and this Adjustment is for the geometry on this set and Keith has Been kind enough to make a video for all of us. So I'm gonna switch over now We're gonna take a look at Keith's YouTube channel first off. I'm sorry. I haven't talked about this sooner But everybody should know that Keith does have a YouTube channel KH MR 3 3 and I have linked This channel I've linked this channel in the description for today's stream So if you'd like to go sub subscribe to him and check out some of these other great adjustment videos he's making he's been on streams with me before and So you can go over there and check him out, but this is a video he made Just under two weeks ago, and it's about setting the horizontal Phase frequency and basically centerness on a Sony 40 series, which is the exact same monitor I have right here next to me and personally I'll be honest. I've always avoided horizontal frequency adjustments because it was something that was a little wild and was never was never really properly understood until Keith broke it down in this video from the information he had extracted from the Manuals he purchased online. So we need to go in here and refer to his information and we're gonna use something that he and I discussed and Anyway, the reason all this goes back to this new series is he He sent me a message and I was like, well, this is brilliant You know, we've got it's great to find these new ways that we didn't know before That were actually the correct ways to adjust some of these CRT's and He said yes, there's a lot of things like this and even what I'm doing today could you know fall under under Keith's definition of Of of not perfect because I don't have the same kind of awesome signal generator that he has for his His screen right here. So he goes into much better detail We're just going to do what he says to do in his video. We're gonna do that live on this set And we're just gonna check it out. We're gonna try to adjust this set according to this Guide and use the tools that I have available Which will be available to most of you if you're adventurous enough to do this but By the way, it's all good to know these things and to know how to do it correctly And I know I'm teasing I'm moving my hands around and moving this. Oh nothing happened Keith Keith just joined us in a live chat here, but yeah, if you're in here and you're stopping by just Drop a like on it, but check Keith Keith had said Yeah, we're getting into a situation where It's who watches the watchmen and it's absolutely correct If I went around and just kept doing this the wrong way and didn't even have I don't have any pattern generators on my laser disc, Keith Ah, but Maybe but what we'll have to do with the only things I have is Super Nintendo or Sega Dreamcast, okay If I can find a laser disc That I Oh That's it. That's on my laser disc hot list is a pattern Laser disc, so if anybody finds a pattern laser disc and wants to send me that Listing I will check that out anyway So who watches the watchmen right so we all got to do a better job. I think sometimes of Watching what each other's doing in certain instances and making sure we're doing things the right way and There's going to be a lot of instances I could find probably in my years of discovery in this hobby and in growing my business into the progression of the you know Repair man you see before you over the years there are things that I've done in the past which I Could critique my own work for probably ten episodes of this series to begin with so today we will start with Keith's method to correctly set this horizontal Frequency phase and then center so that's the Keith Imagine this an expensive thing that will just have to be on the hunt list. Maybe I'll see it out in the wild somewhere this fall Will be a laser disc. Okay. I want to get around here and first off. This is the monitor It is in S video right now just looping some Gradius right there, so we'll let We'll let this roll for a second But what I'm going to show you Beyond that is what I have hooked up to composite and that is the Sega Dreamcast eBay 169 holy crap. Thank you koalakoa. All right guys I did the introduction everything set if you're liking the series so far I know this is live even if it's on a playback and you can hit the like button for me Hopefully this won't disappear into the algorithm of nothingness, but again, it will be part of a play writ playlist that Is a hybrid that progresses over time? But first off again, you're seeing just a nice wonderful image we have already gone through on the last stream and we Serviced this power supply, which actually had a big crack down it and we had to do some welding there and then we Recapped it reflowed all the solder cleaned it up and it's been working perfectly since then and relatively untouched since then So everybody thank you so much again for coming in a lot of people here that I see each time I do a stream and I'm really blown away Thank you all so much First off, I'll do some shout outs here for a second little pig Dan B my retro fix. Thank you all for coming Belmont Keith Rainey, of course koalakoa Felipe also and Ray Seroni, thank you guys all for showing up and everybody else who's here who I've missed before that who's been Really involved looks like we've got a lot of chat going on this morning, which is always fun So again, this is the monitor if I switch over to I think it's line a all right I've got already a pattern pulled up here Keith wants to give me any advice as to which pattern would be best to do this I'll be glad to say it. I think this is I Think this is gonna be one though that will show up good when I insert this dongle and It will Look really good on the screen. I think that's the most important part. Oh, hey snuffer-stuffer. Thanks. Absolutely Sorry about that Yeah, don't worry about it. Hey, it's not that big of a deal I appreciate you being here anybody even if you're at work and you're sneaking around and just listening Odyssey 113, thank you and We're gonna just get into it. But first I'm gonna show you Let's go back to our dashboard view on this video a little bit So Keith has his pattern pulled up here. Okay. He is like I said a great pattern great pattern generator Eric Thank you for showing up and What he's gonna do is I'm gonna summarize a lot of this but he's got a capacitor here that he's made I think with some attachments on maybe the ends we'll do we'll pull the color bars up to and What he's doing is he sticking it in this little spot right here in the circuit board, okay? Right next to this chip and again the monitors turned on So he's sticking it in there and he's jumping a ground point This is just a ground to some kind of voltage point and he's jumping it with a 100 micro farad capacitor I use 25 volt. I believe that's what he uses and as long as it's 16 volt or higher. You're okay So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you what mine looks like close up because I was actually fortunate enough To where I was able to salvage a piece of plastic That is from this monitor. I showed you I think it was two weeks ago Yes, there. I had a video about salvaging parts and I showed all this extra wiring I come across well This is like one of the things I keep from that are some of these ends Thanks to Keith knowledge really he told me about this end Said grab it if you find one so this fits perfectly into This spot right here and it just slips right in and all I had to do was jump one side Let me show you Just in case you're lucky enough like me and you have one of these so you just I soldered one end To the negative side and one end to the positive side of the capacitor here and This came from the speaker input on this monitor. So that's where you would salvage this Part from 99% of the time is this is what's attached to the speaker that also goes into this board so that came out of there and on the speaker cable you just snip it real close and the red on the speaker side the red goes to your negative on your capacitor and The white goes to positive on this now I've never even tested this So if this is somehow wrong and all this explodes You will be here to see it live and We will all enjoy our Monday a little bit a little bit more than we thought we would and Let's see if we can talk find the color pattern EBU style that Keith referred to color bars EBU That's what he was referring to Maybe I'll turn the brightness down a bit just on it for what we're about to do I Will try not to overclock wise That's right. That's the important thing everybody Everybody will be good. I do have an interesting thing to to update you all on Yeah, if you remember the Sony PVM 1354 Q That was opened on a live stream That did not function that was refunded and The good news is is I don't believe they are gonna get it back I think they're just gonna leave it with me. It's been about two weeks and they were fun to me. Oh Almost a retire week ago and They filed a claim. Oh, so I don't know we might get that for parts and be able to experiment more on that one in live streams I don't quite know but we're on the verge of almost getting to just straight keep that one as parts Because they told me if they didn't if we didn't hear from FedEx that you just keep it as parts or dispose of it That they weren't gonna pay to ship it back to their facility But let's try it I've got another Another yeah fully refunded every bit of it View for you here, and I know you might have thought You might have thought this was just like a picture, but no that's a live shot right there live shot and What I'm gonna first do is I'm gonna stick. I'll show you I'll come over there And I'll show you I'm gonna stick this little part in that in that Spot So this goes down into there, right see my hand told you I was a bibbon. So that's going down in that chip spot So this is the destination point here, but I want you to be able to see the screen simultaneously Well that is true koalako it's always sucks to see one Hopefully I can salvage it the problem with this one. I believe is it's a tube issue So that might be a fun thing to diagnose on stream on Another episode like this. That's a perfect thing. I wanted to bring up as tubes to Rejuvenation because I got my rejuvenator mostly working and testing it can test the tubes All right, if we go back here to our Double view this should be This should be our best view. Maybe I will expand This a little bit So you can see a bit a bit better Because where I'm where I'm going here is Right at this chip I'm not sure if you can even see it on your cursor, but maybe you can my cursor on your screen But I'm going above this chip. We're gonna insert there and Then we're going to use this blue potentiometer back here to make the adjustment See if I'll do that Yes, okay All right Gonna turn the gain on my mic up so you can catch my voice from across the room I'll probably turn the music down just a touch Here's we're gonna insert this and then hopefully this this TV is gonna or this up. Sorry. This pvm is gonna scroll Because if it just sits mostly it's gonna scroll All right before let me show you before I really we got all that set up before we let me turn the microphone back down So it's not blasting your ear off All right What we do that just let me show you what happens when Keith does it's Keith puts the part in and it makes The screen scroll and make sure that's not playing the volume there and that's mostly good Tunage when it's scrolling nice and evenly but before that I believe it's It's really an erratic It's it's hard like scrolling look it'll it'll start scrolling back and forth And I think you want it to not scroll Or to scroll like that. Let's see He's gonna adjust it here To stick the screwdriver in and As you spin that it'll it'll it'll screw up more and then it starts to straighten out So you want it to be what we want it to be we're gonna do all this live We want to spin it. Oh You didn't dizzy yet, so it's like center like that Man, all right, who's ready to get their Disney's their Disney spell on today. I hope you guys are ready That's great Keith. He did awesome there Keith he did a great job Recording this okay, it's awesome and helpful Extremely sorry. I didn't mean to do that All right, let's go over here now and let's try it Let's try it. Let's try it live here friends I'm gonna insert the device. I'm gonna find my screwdriver to right. I can't Hang on. Oh, baby. Look at that. I found it. I found it Yeah, team, you know, thank you for coming. Yeah, I'm sorry everybody for getting dizzy Here we go. Let's adjust this Whoa Keith, what do we think do we pull it off? Maybe is that kind of what it should look like there? You get you for a close-up of that Whoops, sorry wrong one See how it sits there and like It's in the middle of that. It's very very precise on that potentiometer Cool. That's it was definitely off right when I turned it on It was off by a little bit Okay, so what I could do is just remove that capacitor now and then you Went through and adjusted the video phase But that's an interesting thing right there. So that's this is Well from what I understood you this is like the foundation point from where you need the first thing to be set would be this Particular Setting horizontal frequency Set this and then once you have this set you can set the other things down the blockchain kind of Or down the chain of Settings from this then video phase and horizontal center. I guess to use it at the end, right? That's what you're explaining. I think Keith if I remember everything correctly from the video. Let me remove the capacitor and We will Check out some other things on it now. We'll take a look at the screen without it in there All right, so I won't be able to I won't be able to Show you in the same manner that Keith does with his great pattern. I don't believe we can tell that Wherever we go from this point on If we look over here even We are off-center a little bit. I know it's hard to see probably on that screen. It's not off too much but it is Still scanning left to right a little bit to the right Okay, there we go. Good answer if somebody was asking what happens if this horizontal frequency is off Then our team you said it can throw off the geometry and the timing It'll all be basically set from a wrong position So you'll just more than likely in reality You'll see you'll just have Geometry imperfections that most likely happen when you're changing signals. I would think and Maybe things that you just can't get corrected And it's because possibly right that timing is off and Geometry will always slightly be off probably on some things. I could be wrong because again, I Want everybody to always know this I am like most of you my background did not come in like electrical engineering I have been most of a student my career here and I'm always learning new things and I did have a background in engineering, but it's pretty much only in It was in more Construction specifically in concrete was my field under scan. Oh this but You know, sorry Keith. I don't believe this monitor has an under scan Now this 1340 super basic. It doesn't have actually an under scan So if you want to go over Keith's using a better version of the four series that has an under scan button on there So if you start from that point, right? What if we took a second and reviewed what we do after that on Yeah This one is so basic. It has no under scan. There's only Other than the input buttons on the front There's only a blue blue only button and then on the back side. There is a switch for Color temperature between 9,300 and Then That's it like a v-hold knob. It's definitely the lowest and Yeah, they actually do they have it right there don't they There's a knob in there for adjusting under scan and vertical scan on your screen right there and For some reason it's still on there So we can get in here. We can definitely spend these potentiometers I'll do that for all you guys so you could see what happens on your screen Just I feel like sometimes seeing these procedures done Could Maybe make you feel a little more comfortable if you had to do this or just something to refer to You see somebody doing it in real life, but I also want to try to get this Vertical or I mean video phase and horizontal center done the right way so we should Check out maybe let's do this Let's just pause this bad boy here and I'm gonna go in and we'll try to see like So the problem is is I don't have this great same pattern that you have that she can adjust the timing so well from right Or Keith's not gonna hit me for copyright infringement. This is under fair use. I believe anyway All right, yeah Keith you can't tell you the cleaners just for going through this, okay? I was I know Keith's not gonna do that look So basically just telling you kind of what we've been walking through and talking through here that we need to start from that Horizontal frequency Adjustment that we did first off and then we can move on to these other adjustments which I hope is where we're at in this tutorial that he's given us and Again, this is in the this is in the description. So please go watch this Before you even consider doing this adjustment We're just again trying to interpolate this into a real-life scenario and do it here Resynchronize myself to that sink pulse. You're not actually drawing a picture That's precisely when you would want the fly back to energize and clean the screen So if those are out of sync, I think you see how clean this is on this side and how warped and weird it is on this side What you're seeing there I think is literally the video signal being sucked up into the Negative into the fly back pulse basically So we're gonna make a little adjustment here if I can remember which one's video phase You think I'd have this memorized. I don't have this Not a smart person I'm just persistent So that's probably All right, let's see what She makes the adjustment here It's also why video phase gets confused for horizontal center sometimes too. I mean you can use it to center, but sort of on accident we'll say so I think You want this to just start to disappear Just like that Now Think I need to tweak H blank. Let's move this back where I can see it real quick. It's a little bit smaller So we can sort of see what we're doing And blank Will literally make that disappear Right because basically you don't want to waste time drawing stuff that you shouldn't be seeing if you get too close to the edge of the Tube and the electrons go bounce off the edge of the tube Caused all kinds of problems According to the service manual Think I think you're supposed to leave that there It says Adjust H blink Make to blink the vertical I think it means Not completely gone, but touching it right, so That's too far obviously and Then we're out past that we wanted to just start to Okay, so we're gonna get in here and do this world will do our center adjustment here We'll probably have to shrink it down a little bit Maybe not we have to do the video phase adjustment though And I don't again. I don't have this awesome pattern with these numbers on I'm gonna be using the regular monoscope pattern I guess and then we'll do the blanking adjustment to try to get it right up next to this line here See what we can do. So let's uh Let's go back to this view And I'll try this a little bit No, no that this is gonna be I don't know this is gonna be greatly visible for you guys here, but we'll try it Try to do the blanking adjustment now, which is right next to that because there are a couple frames over there that Be an energized that there's nothing being drawn on So that's good right there. That's kind of good. That's what we just did is What Keith did here where we adjusted that horizontal blanking after our video phase And like I said Keith's really doing us a favor by explaining all this from the service manual So if we go back here, you can see I'm sure in the video when I was doing that you saw this move side to side especially when I was doing the Video phase adjustments. I don't know how much more of an adjustment this needs beyond that Keith if it looks good after this, right? And at the very end you can adjust it for Horizontal Okay, 92% screen phase adjustment Equal as the width of the white frame And as I said before we may have I mean this is all experimental This is the best closest adjustment thing I know that I have There are better things available and Keith points out that the video game signal is only about 92% of The NTSC signal. Yeah mirrors are great to use over clock wise. Good job. So the idea is that you've blanked it on this side Just enough to touch adjust the phase so that you can see an equal amount of the white on both sides brightness So you can see it's actually out beyond if you think about it. It's actually out beyond with it blanked, you know Certain amount. Sorry here guys. I didn't switch back to this other view Certainly as close as it needs to be on this little bit of a CRT Now the centering stuff is universal for under scan and over scan doesn't make any difference But we've done each frequency. We've done video phase right now. We're gonna hit under scan get out of there Where are we at? We're still very close to one on this side Not as close to one on this side So what we're gonna do go hunting for the big fat All right, so I know where this is and the last thing would just be to center this up from this point That you see here to center it up a little bit more and I will spend the center adjustment. I'll try to point it out to you from the Point here, but that would be like the third and final stop for your adjustment on horizontal And then everything else you can fall in line after that just everything after that point Because it's gonna be universal and especially on a TV like that or set monitor like this That only has a certain amount of adjustments and modes on it So this one is a pain in the neck to get to It's right there I don't know if you can even see my finger. I can't even get it in there right there it's like all the way back here behind the flyback and Here I don't see any reason to do this If it doesn't need the adjustment right now, but that's the potential or you got to get in there and mess with that one Sneak your hand in all that there it is so if We just look at our No We just look here at our screen I've got this centered really well thanks to the Information Keith's provided So it's not I'm not gonna even have to touch the vertical center because I've got it so good Using those three adjustments. We got to this point through his Tutorial, I'm sorry It's tutorial here that we don't actually need to get in there to the centerness at least not until I get in here and Unless I check this and I really need to I believe this is gonna be good enough It looks like it's right on from what I can see. I need to get the next level of testing here and That's pretty much it though on doing this the correct. This is building that this is building a Foundation for your calibration. So you're building the foundational blocks So that this is all set and your timing set and then you go from there what I'm understanding here and Build upon that and that will just give you better results and make things correct kind of on your CRT All right guys. Hey, hey to self-elected. Hey to over clockwise and hey to delusionals arcade. Hey, Dale and PO 17 thanks for shot for stopping by and Yes, here's this announcement. I made this a couple of weeks ago in a live stream I've talked about it a couple of times. I will be at Retro world expo This year, so I will be driving there. Yes. I will I'll I'm I'm getting things ready. I do have some CRTs. I have to get done before I actually get to go and That's Let me see here. I want to get a better view for you guys. Give you that one or How about the Desk view with me in it too. That's better probably and let's switch the screen over here to a different pattern but What I'm I am going to be at the retro world expo. See I'll be there absolutely and If you guys have any other questions about this stuff drop me a question here I didn't want this to be a hugely long episodes of people just want to watch it that's kind of the majority of What I wanted to do I want to do a live demonstration of what Keith had done and If there's anything else you want me to check out while we have it here We can do that but also just to kind of show you that and then you can Use these principles to get in there and you know change this if you want or just enjoy a show watching me try to do it So That's the day other things that have been going on. Hey mark. Hey moe I Have There's a lot of stuff that happened this weekend a lot of great content came out I mean, I'm not just trying to plug my own show. I had a Interview that I did with my good friend from the art museum. I know a lot of you guys watched that It was pretty universally liked for those who watched it it is about the museums and Why the museums? Still you CRT's and here's here's the thumbnail for it this one right here Just sat down with a good friend of mine from the museum. Let me turn some music back on and We had a great discussion About a lot of different topics. We went from how the museums acquire CRT's and how they maintain them how they how they try to use a network between one another of sharing the equipment and Other ideas that they do have how they save some from different disasters where they get them from and A lot of talk about the exhibits themselves. It's a lot of fun stuff to get to talk with him about. Hey Brian Harmon Yes, I do. I do have a CRT projector. I have not had time to mess with it. Ah Little pig little pig had a big problem and that That was what I was I was concerned about Little pig had a problem with his PVM 14m for you where the colors were coming in reversed and I have seen that from time to time. Well, you'll come in and all the colors. Let me show you if you go back here to the Shop cam. Let's go back to the just the shop cam Not that cam if I can remember which one of these I'm trying to get you to this one We go up to a pattern Thank you demon child. Thank you for the five dollars super chat. I appreciate it a lot Do you know any techniques on how to shield a CRT from the magnets from bookshelf speakers? Okay, so the first thing you need to do is probably the easiest thing which is to Try to move the speakers a little bit Even if you have to add extra cabling and and hang them from somewhere If that's not possible and you're still having trouble There are methods you can take to attempt to shield a CRT similarly to what you see on the professional monitors where it has shielding behind the tube that's metal and If I go over here to this view for a second, I can show you exactly what I'm talking about Just let me make sure I get the right camera No, there's not much on this model, but you see this shielding up here right here that's all shielding and Sometimes so you got to do things like mimic that kind of shielding right so that could be anything Man that leaves a lot like a different things you could do there like I've seen Instances where people have tried to add metal inside the shell the CRT I've even as seen copper thin copper lined inside shells a CRT to try to help with Magnetism I'm actually supposed to be working on that project for the museums because they're having a big problems with these sets and interference from the subway which was one of the topics that Kirsten and I briefly talked about in the museum's video that that came out over the weekend So thank you demon child for the great question. I hope that helps a little bit But again, it's gonna be more about trying to make a homemade shell around a CRT or or fitting Some kind of shielding that you may salvage from some other CRT and try to retrofit that onto the back of the CRT It would be a lot of experimenting and and just trying to basically prevent that magnetism from getting in They the best the honestly easiest thing is to try to make it a set up like Keith just mentioned where You're actually separating that to the point where you don't have to interfere have the interference So the best idea is just to get the speakers away till they no longer interfere But if you get them close look at my channel, it shows you kind of right here What happens you get this discolorations from magnetism on your two purity problems, but yes, that's that video There's also an awesome interview from our friends and My your friend and my friend 8 bit Esquire and he had He had a video where he interviewed Mike Chi which was a lot of fun. So it's still really cool I enjoyed that over the weekend So if you guys have any other questions, you can definitely ask them right now so That's kind of what's been going on I Did enjoy those videos and A lot of stuff over the weekend so a lot of a lot of good content now Take a look over here. I keep forgetting which one of these I have them all I've chained them so many times I don't have them all marked the right way right now Translate the abbreviation some Mo was asking about a CRT from Samsung and translating service menu My best advice would be to try to find the service manual where it would give you a better explanation of what each line And the set says because a lot of times those are abbreviated and especially if there's a different language Yes, hang on one second. I have got to take this call. All right. Thank you guys. Sorry about that Appreciate you. Give me a second there. Oh I'll let that backlight on. All right. That's better So here's the deal As far as let me give you a little bit of a while we're doing this live again We'll expand here and just and just kind of chitchat about things. I'm gonna be Again at the end of August. So this is the end of July last day, right 31st wonderful month Thank you everybody again who's come in and I mean there's been a lot more activity on YouTube Well, more people watching a lot more people interacting the live shows have been awesome I've really enjoyed it. I'm thankful. We got everything kind of situated after our weird issues but Going to go to that convention at the end of August now. That's not gonna be That's gonna be a pretty tight convention. I'm not What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna be arriving Friday. So I'm gonna leave Friday morning and drive up And it's like an eight hour. I'll probably get there in seven to eight hours and then I'll Be there Friday evening. I'm staying at the Marriott, which is attached to the convention so I'll be there Friday evening in the Marriott and then Saturday morning, I'll get up and go up and I'll be at the convention all day Saturday and then That's again the last Saturday in August and then Sunday. There will be more convention But I will be leaving Sunday morning because then I've got to get some the rental car back Sunday evening because if I keep it another day, it's like a hundred and sixty dollars more to just leave Monday and Honestly, the show is a lot slower Sunday than Saturday Saturday is the big day That's a day. Everybody is gonna be there So if you are coming and you're listening right now, make sure that and you want to you know, see me Make sure you're there at the convention on Sunday. I mean, that's not I'm sorry I said the exact wrong thing to say be there Saturday not Sunday. Okay Saturday not Sunday and We can we can chat there Also, if you're staying at the hotel and you see me in the lobby and you want to say hey absolutely say so Unless it's like me running to the convention for something important that I have to be there on the time limit for Saturday You know, most of the time Friday, I'll be going in there and I'll be socializing Hanging out and speaking with people So if you're staying at the hotel and you're coming down you see me you want to say hi, please do I love to chat about anything But that's the first convention The only reason I'm bringing all this up is kind of circle back around a lot of things you guys are talking about in the chat But then there's a second convention, which is the music city Multi-con, so let me show you and pull up something Many of you've probably seen this video Right, okay, I think this no Interesting enough I have done two videos about the music city multi-con Okay, one of them Trying to find them all here. I'm just typing in music need multi-con The first one was two years ago okay Let me show you this There's a video here and I and I go through and I show every CRT that they have and in the one last year did even better And I don't see it on here anyway Let me see if I can find I can't find my own video So there's like I say I go here and I do a course, okay? So I've done a couple courses. You can laugh at me with my silly hair This is the only one I actually go and do courses for is the music city multi-con And I don't know why my there it is okay. This was the one from last year last season. Oh my gosh live Look at that. Isn't that nice? Advertisement there from YouTube I have no idea. Oh my gosh. Anyway Here's the video I'm actually referring to And This one will show you all the CRTs that this guy has at his convention and what I really What I really want to do is I want to spend some time at that convention in my booth And I'm just gonna start grabbing these CRTs and I'm gonna video them I'm gonna open them up because they're all kinds of weird CRTs that I just never seen I'm really close with the owner of this show It's back in the Nashville area and that one is in October and like I know that my friends from my life in gaming will be there both try and Let's see. Let's just see who's on the lineup card Let's just see who's on this line up Sometimes I mean I don't even know if I'm on the guests like let's try now. Oh, look at this See guys This is where we have to meet to if you can be at this one either one look at this this one has But we're getting to the wrestling the wrestling amazing wrestling people. I know that if I wish Ape and Esquire was here so you can see this you got the million dollar man Jimmy Hart and IRS and look I have no I've never met them of course I don't know them this is a mixer of a con so it's got a lot of People from comic book industry. We've got all the guys who will be there. I'm sure at And at the Retro world, I'm sure I bet y'all three of these guys will be there and then oh look there I am, huh? Classic game room.

That's a fun show and We will be there so and also I'll be hanging out. I'm gonna be bringing a special guest at least I'll invite Chris from This place gamers to come with me should be fun That's the season for me as far as like conventions go 90% of the time those are the two I go to And I get over here. Let's go to this Let's let Let's let it go for a little bit on the desk view. There we go. I'm just let that roll So I'm excited about those things. I think it should be fun It's always a fun chance to come out there and see people and see what's going on actually in the real world As opposed to just the CRT bunker down here Mark be awesome to see there and I think Mark looks like he'll be at the I'm sure he's talking about the retro world I've got a secret minivan. I'll have to fill up a CRT. So I don't know Visual performance loss interesting question elf lover EF lover. Sorry Oh There I am with someone's name butchered it Right Yes, EF lover, I'm sorry So I Don't really think There would be a difference. It really would depend on the device and if the device does anything specific talking about some kind of a Mike Chi device, I would expect not really much of any loss performance not if you're using it in the CRT Experience I Will tell you if you are wanting to get maybe more Adjustability out of your CRT or your experience. I should say You could convert your scart over to component video if you have a component PVM and then you actually get the whole 240p experience plus you have the ability to adjust your colors in the front on things that you cannot Adjust cannot adjust on RGB Yeah, that's cool. I you know, I've talked about that too where the experiences of going to conventions It's good, but you really have a Challenge of Funding it. I was quite lucky. I worked at all the funding for both these shows, but it's still It's not something that you know Is cheap most of the time and But it's awesome to get to do it so I'm happy to do it when I can also it's a time-consuming Consuming experience, which is awesome to be able to do it, but at the same time it does I Take away from other things. Hey gearman and hey there webby I would think you know it just depends it depends what the most of the if you're if you're running back and forth and Whatever PVM F EF lover, what what's the PVM you're using? Is it like a medical monitor that only has one line for RGB and component? well I think that's gonna be probably it for today guys, I really enjoy coming in and hanging out and everybody asking all the great questions and Enjoying the stream today. I had a good time. I have a lot of stuff going on right now. I have to get ready to go back for a Fortunately for a funeral to him this week But I'll be back by the end of the week and I'm gonna try to do something special With some other people and have some guests on on an upcoming stream.
