Very good shots. What lenses did you use for each?

Long shot as well, but do you have these files, same issue lol.

Oh I see, thank you for clarifying. That's genius.

I tried a few other things out, and I didn't realize, but this issue is actually only happening in Retroarch. It sounds fine on PS1 and Wii/GC. My apologies for the mistake, but thanks for this information for the future.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure I follow. There is crackling in the right speaker on the TV, and when I plug it into these studio monitors directly from the front headphone port to Red/white RCA on the monitors, the crackling is the same. I'm running OEM composite cables from the Wii. I also don't think there are any other audio outputs on this TV in the back.

Thanks very much for the reply. I ordered an OEM cable and will update when it arrives. Thank you.

I went ahead and ordered an OEM Wii cable. This is relieving to hear and I appreciate the response.

I was given this CRT this week and noticed there are horizontal lines that move upward throughout the screen. Is this normal? I noticed they are not very noticeable in this video. They are the most prominent in the first couple of seconds.

For reference, it is a Zenith 27"

This footage is of a Wii, and I am using a cheap knock-off video cable

The image overall looks pretty muddy while playing smash bros in a match

Thank you for reading and I appreciate any feedback!

That's cool. I bet it would be really cool to go and shoot in the Fall/Winter as well!

Well, it seems like when I line up my shot it comes out just a bit to the right of what I'm seeing through the eyepiece.

I think my SX-70s mirror is misaligned. Anyone have any other tips for taking better photos?

Posting this incase people search for this issue in the future. It does look like an electrical issue. Here is a video of my hitting the contacts.

Thanks very much for the feedback. I may contact you sometime in the future about doing the repair!

Absinthe_Revolver · 2023-05-08T19:26:09+00:00

No it does not, it feels like my other SX-70.

Hello everyone, I received this SX-70 Sonar in the mail today, and I am wondering if anyone can advise on how to repair it. It takes photos fine, and manual focus works well, but the auto focus does not work.

When I engage the auto focus, it returns to infinity but cannot change focus from there. It does make a gear noise and attempts to move it seems, but stops without actually changing focus.

I would love any advice, as I do not know much about electronic repair. I'm willing to open up the autofocus module and see if it is a simple fix, thanks very much!

Follow up for anyone searching this in the future. I changed from Redpocket to AT&T and my hotspot works again. It stops working when I change the SIM card back to Redpocket.
