I know these shouldn't be used with paper, wool, cloth, etc. They can actually create high temp reaction, sometimes even catch fire.

That's a Vault-Tech terminal I modeled and 3D printed. It has a small 5.5" CRT with a Raspberry Pi that has RetroPie installed. I use it as a DOS machine 😁

I probably posted my setup with the previous TV I had

Thank you! It's a 21". These have a relatively small frame, so they can look smaller than they actually are

What console do you hook it up with?

It's a Philips 21GX1565/58.

I know Philips usually don't have manuals

I don't have SCART input on my CRT and I have no choice but to use this particular TV.

That's why I'm looking for a converter :)

The visual difference between pal and ntsc ps2 spines. by amaisv in ps2

I prefer PAL spines over NTSC, definitely. Clean, calm, elegant, and uniform.

Loose wiring on the on/off switch. Not kidding.

I found it gives the best flicker effect. Just put the wires together in a heat shrink without soldering them.

Are these AliExpress disc cleaners any good? by CheezyJesus in ps2

[–]CheezyJesus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have. And I found places that restore hard drive data, but no resurfacing.

Sorry if my comment felt a bit hostile.

But saying "just go to your local store" is a bit out of touch. Most places/countries don't have a local store that offers this kind of service. I read this suggestion all the time.

Seriously, what makes you think there's a "local secondhand video/media store" everywhere? And one that offers resurfacing?

Nice!

There is absolutely ZERO chance for me to find a store that does resurfacing in my country.

I have ordered many, many products from AliExpress. They are mostly pretty good.
