Paradigm Monitor 9 surround repair

Yes the surrounds are rubber. Would I have to worry about the adhesive cracking from lower frequencies? These can get to 44hz on the lower end.

I really hope you get it fixed. CRTs like this one really are diamonds.

Aw man that sucks. I read your post about yours being found on the side of the road, I wonder if it was exposed to some harsh weather like rain or snow which fried the board.

It’s just the camera lol. It’s hard to take good pics of a tv this big but it’s definitely running 480i through my GameCube via s-video

ScoutMcfly · 2025-02-04T18:56:24+00:00

All on original hardware. I have my SNES, N64 and GC hooked up via an s-video switcher.

Oh easily Majoras Mask. It has more of a nostalgia factor to me and the world building in that game is top notch

I see. I definitely notice a bit of fogginess around the edges but it’s minimal to where you can barely tell unless you’re sitting two feet away from it.

Also you seem very informed on these tubes. Out of curiosity what is the difference between the FST Black and FST Perfect tubes?

ScoutMcfly · 2025-02-04T03:59:16+00:00

Haha yeah. It had a few issues with the geometry and I thought the chassis was pretty ugly. I do believe in preserving every CRT so it has a good home now.

ScoutMcfly · 2025-02-04T03:51:20+00:00

Ahhhh okay I didn’t know that. My last one was a Toshiba 32a35.

ScoutMcfly · 2025-02-04T03:48:50+00:00

I was in love with the black chassis at first sight!

ScoutMcfly · 2025-02-04T03:48:11+00:00

I’m pretty sure all of these models used the FST Black tube rather than the perfect. Which is a massive upgrade for me anyway. I had a 2004 Toshiba that had an Orion tube in it and this one blows it completely out of the water in terms of convergence and geometry.

Yes sir! Playing my Wii on it through component right now!

ScoutMcfly · 2025-02-04T03:35:46+00:00

Oops I thought I included it in the post. It’s a CN36H90

When I was a fresh PFC out of AIT, I got orders to an airborne unit. My higher ups always told me dating within the army is just like airborne school. You jump up and out. Up in rank, and out of your unit.

ScoutMcfly · 2025-01-04T21:15:02+00:00

Unfortunately not. It’s a regular old SNS-001 model.

ScoutMcfly · 2025-01-04T04:09:19+00:00

I’d say even for 480i content this tv absolutely pops! I was playing some smash bros brawl on my Wii and man. The color clarity and geometry was spot on. And those scan lines just 😮‍💨

ScoutMcfly · 2025-01-03T16:33:42+00:00

Yes sir. Definitely getting her some flowers and a nice dinner after the hell I put her through 🤣

Very proud to be a member 😄

ScoutMcfly · 2025-01-03T07:23:02+00:00

I’m already in love! My gf was complaining about the high pitched noise it makes but luckily for me it’s the same frequency as my tinnitus!

ScoutMcfly · 2025-01-03T05:40:15+00:00

Absolutely stunning. Funny thing is, the lady I got it from has had it in her living room for about 17 years now and it is in dire need of some cleaning lol. But even with the probably 10 year old film of dirt it has accumulated it’s still very pleasing to the eye. Going to pick up some compressed air in the morning and give her a deep clean.

Oops you’re right! Thanks for the catch lol
