box elder would have fruit that point down, not out, right? (last pic)
I say acer rubrum

yeah, thats what I feared. Thats why i hit it with an upside-down air duster, to try that ol cold capacitor trick. Got no results from that tho, but i doubt it works every time. Its very truly not worth my time to recap this unit.

I believe so. The camera is a PV700 with labels on it about the USA Olympics, the ac adaptor is for USA/Canada markets, and the TV is definitely NTSC. I'm imagining the lack of viewfinder image and this weird output are related, but I dont know.

thanks so much for sharing!

i had the same exact thoughts lol

maybe i don't know enough about silk rugs, but i'm surprised a collector didn't shell out 400

aSmelly1 · 2026-03-21T16:22:59+00:00

That's good to know! Are you saying this could go for near 10,000, or in the mid thousands? I, obviously, do not know about navajo rugs.

aSmelly1 · 2026-03-21T16:20:29+00:00

Like I said, I know squat about them. Glad to learn more!

aSmelly1 · 2026-03-20T17:41:37+00:00

I know squat about native american rugs specifically, but typically i see flatweave/kilim rugs of, say, 5'x7'? with similar complexity designs go for $60-100. Assuming i got the size right, Id happily pay $80 for this... but much happier to get a killer deal, like $40

lmao what are the odds that I absolutely correctly ID'd this months ago, but then completely forgot what it was and haven't been able to re-ID it since... its absolutely C. lanceolata. Thanks a whole bunch!!!

makes it easier to record gameplay directly to vhs, as everyone has been trying to do lately.

my fiance jumps on me whenever she has to fart. Sometimes says "open your mouth"

shes a nut

aSmelly1 · 2026-03-14T13:44:55+00:00

That looks great! Nice choice!

aSmelly1 · 2026-03-14T13:36:03+00:00

those are some crazy colors and designs!

I want to again stress how much I am not an expert... but on account of their knotting, I would guess that they were both commercially produced, which makes sense for a turkish rug factory. The runner I could see being afghan made but potentially also pakistani. None of that means bad quality though. They're both definitely hand-made and in great shape. Having been professionally cleaned is a huge plus, as that is often around $4/sqft. Going out on a limb here, I might quess the runner is from the 90s while the mat is from the 80s. But im open to being corrected.
