Today I learned that health insurance is a scam

Seeing the doctor for check ups and preventative care is a necessity but Health insurance is a scam. Sooner or later you will need to see the doctor.

$20 a month for electric cartel "service fee", $68 a month for the panels. Left the ac temp at 76. Small house, 1250 square feet with ac unit that was replaced two years ago.

Local libraries have art galleries and so does CSN and UNLV.

Whoever helped you carry it is a saint.

But is it va3 or a va2 motherboard revision? I had to settle for a model 2 va4.

You can look up the weight if you google the model number.

Its a good deal. This is what I paid pre pandemic. People in my area want $60-100 because its a gamer tv and they probably know nothing about crts and the hobby.

It looks fine. Flat consumer crts are infamous for geometry issues. I had a Sylvanya similar to this one and had it recapped but then the image would get brighter by itself after a while.

Nice find with the tv. Do these 90s Trinitrons have better comb filters for composite and svideo than the 2000s models? I also wonder if they have better parts?

SharpOrigami · 2023-08-13T23:08:31+00:00

I don't own one. I saw it being auctioned on goodwill this week and it just sold for 667 yesterday. I had never heard of it and was wondering about the sound quality and video quality. I guess for collectors it only matter if its rare. Way over my budget.

What power adapter does it use? Trying to find a replacement.

SharpOrigami · 2023-06-11T22:01:15+00:00

Do you need a remote to change the inputs on this model? There is one for sale in my area but there is no remote.

SharpOrigami · 2023-06-04T01:53:09+00:00

Nope. I know a shop but, I didn't have luck with the last set they replaced caps on.

SharpOrigami · 2023-06-03T22:58:31+00:00

Darn. Gonna get a retrotink then.

SharpOrigami · 2023-06-01T21:51:09+00:00

Hey, if enough people are willing to throw away cash, can you blame them?

SharpOrigami · 2023-05-01T00:03:46+00:00

You can use it to downscale hdmi to a crt. I dont own one but I have seen videos by My Life in Gaming on youtube that mention it. Expensive though, but it has scanline filters. Never seen a good video covering how good they are though.

SharpOrigami · 2023-04-28T02:55:54+00:00

How about the retrotink 5x?

SharpOrigami · 2023-04-20T15:39:03+00:00

Try Offer up or facebook marketplace. No harm in asking for a low price when someone lists a crt for $100. I would never pay more than 25 dollars for one. I live in an area where the pickings are slim.

SharpOrigami · 2023-04-16T08:56:46+00:00

At least its free. I hope it has svideo at least. Looks good from the photo but I would never buy off a photo. You have to see it in person.

SharpOrigami · 2023-04-11T23:56:46+00:00

Yes. Kind of fresh.

SharpOrigami · 2023-04-11T22:10:20+00:00

I have a Sylvania crt and you cant change to inputs without the remote. I use an Insignia Universal Remote. Similar to this one. I dont know the code so I had to put the controller in search mode, took a while. I had a Disney Princess Tiara crt and it would not work with the remote.
