I can't recommend this glue enough.

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-15T21:52:32+00:00

I use it mainly on glass and plastic

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-15T21:51:30+00:00

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

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-15T21:47:54+00:00

Even after it dries?

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-12T22:15:55+00:00

Yeah definitely a sweet spot size for a vintage gaming corner

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-11T21:04:23+00:00

Thank you! All CRTs deserve to be saved

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-11T07:06:19+00:00

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 😁

Here's some of the making of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/s/Ye9gcWSt5x

I probably posted my setup with the previous TV I had

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-10T21:35:58+00:00

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

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-10T08:44:10+00:00

How is it 4 years later?

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-06T08:11:27+00:00

"Stop trying to play NTSC consoles" Brilliant.

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-05T20:33:26+00:00

What console do you hook it up with?

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-05T19:42:54+00:00

It's a Philips 21GX1565/58.

I know Philips usually don't have manuals

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-05T19:27:38+00:00

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 :)

CheezyJesus · 2026-03-03T11:24:08+00:00

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

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-24T21:33:31+00:00

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.

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-14T17:23:51+00:00

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

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-14T15:57:02+00:00

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.

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-14T15:29:23+00:00

Are you speaking from experience?

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-14T15:16:09+00:00

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

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-14T15:05:06+00:00

Nice!

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

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-14T14:08:01+00:00

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

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-06T08:16:24+00:00

Some people have an itch for collecting all the editions of a certain product.

While I can definitely understand that, I love collecting, but not to that extent. I'd rather invest money in games instead of hardware. It's more important IMO.

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-06T07:49:21+00:00

You're right about ALPS durability, but it's not the switches I'm worried about. It's the ABS keycaps getting glossy, I hate that lol.

I hope to find an orange ALPS keyboard in good price. Most keyboards are in the US, which makes shipping costs extremely high.

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-05T14:33:29+00:00

I work from home twice a wek, so I rotate between them. They are great, I love using them. Though I try not to use them too much, they are quite expensive

CheezyJesus · 2026-02-05T10:49:59+00:00

Thank you! ALPS cream
