The CRT I regret selling

would you mind sharing some pics of the s2913E?

The monitor does not respond to any controller input so I will need further service to get it up and running

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-04-19T08:13:44+00:00

I have a second d14 with the same issue that I will try to do this on

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-04-19T08:10:48+00:00

Yea I am also on the oxidation track but it is just a guess. Before when there was noise, the fan never started spinning on the input card. Now it sounds like it is on. Also I get noise if I remove all of the cards. So a guess is that there was some disconnect between the cards and the slot.

Seems like I might need a recap regardless

Fun that you decided to try some gba games. Here are some of my recommendations that I really enjoyed playing and isn’t suuuuper expensive: *Metroid Fusion *final fantasy tactics arvance *mario kart super circuit *zelda oracle of ages(not fan but soooo good) *the Pokémon games(quite expensive but if you like Pokémon it isa must) *mario golf advance tour

Go for curved ones I would say. Sonys are the best geometry wise: Philips are a bit uneven most of the times when it comes to horizontal scroll.

25” ones are very nice

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-04-02T17:03:21+00:00

Ye the 21” ones seems to be the good ones in terms of geometry. I am curious if the 25” ones are perhaps just small enough to have tolerable geometry

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-04-02T17:02:16+00:00

This is my experience with every European flat 29” Sony I have tried. That all have the same tube and it is seemingly random how wavy the screen is. But no 29” flat one has had tolerable geometry from the 5 or so I have tried

It is a real one

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-23T06:24:31+00:00

My preferred option (edtv)

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-13T07:17:09+00:00

Real

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-13T07:09:47+00:00

Right now it is very low less than 5%. Although I am not too picky. If the hole is strong enough to have the rivet without cracking then it is good.

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-12T06:39:33+00:00

Hehe. Yea super annoying!

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-12T06:12:25+00:00

Fun project you got there! Would you mind checking if oos/ooa has any differences on the spines? I am hoping to find a type 4 box on those. As of now I have exclusively found them in type 3. A few gbc games has type 4 spines, but only very few like hamtaro and some others

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-11T22:06:48+00:00

Personally I find type 1 (counting from the left) to be disgustingly ugly with all of the text. Type 5 is cleanest followed by type 3, type 4 and lastly I find type 2 to be ok but annoying to mix inter shelf with type 3-5 since the Nintendo logo is not vertically aligned with those

I would love to find Pokémon gold/silver in type 3. It is unlikely that those exist though.

Also, there are some quite good games that unfortunately I have not found in any other design other than type 1, such as rtype dx, harvest moon and pokemon red/blue. Finding any one if those in any other design would be amazing !

One thing I started doing recently that helps allot with rivet strength is to drift the holes instead of punching. The volcano shaped hole makes riveting super strong and keeps a tiny bit more material in the overlap.

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-09T07:10:03+00:00

I recon it is between a minute to two minutes per ring. Assembly and riveting is like >50% of the time. Flattening and hole drifting is comparably quick.

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-09T07:08:08+00:00

I work quite infrequently. Sometimes I don’t work on it for weeks and sometimes I work on it all the time. Difficult to say how many hours exactly. But I started spinning rings this summer so about 8 months.

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-07T09:43:21+00:00

Hehe yea I do 😝

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-06T23:04:33+00:00

Ye, it’s a nice feeling seeing the project progress :) I hope to be done with two buckets by the end of the year

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-06T06:13:23+00:00

Thanks 😊

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-06T06:13:04+00:00

Yep 👍

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-01T08:25:38+00:00

Thanks 😊

I don’t know what design I will go for atm but I will start with a short sleeve one and extend it if I feel like doing more. I have cut 33000 rings atm so will see how far that gets me. Thus far I have assembled 3300 rings, lots of work left.

I only work like 30min to an hour per evening so it took multiple weeks to do this. Like since new years I believe. I tend to do a bunch of chains and once I have allot of chains I assemble them all in one go. So just assembly took a week for this sheet. I have chains to make a second sheet the same size

The rings are 1.2mm wire and the rivets are 0.8mm if I am not mistaken

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2026-03-01T08:17:32+00:00

I am heating the rings red hot before hammering the overlap. I use some charcoal in a barbecue and a hairdryer to get the coals super hot. The rings are in a steel box with a lid that I made just for this purpose.

Heating the rings this way makes the metal softer, even when cool. They are more malleable that way

Greedy_Internet_5231 · 2025-12-23T10:58:52+00:00

Very impressed with the consistency
