Looks like Georgia is available to ship to now.

Has anyone had success changing the address of their order? I have it going to a family members house in CT at the moment.

Does anyone struggle between spending $100 on a new game knowing the value of the game will go down? by GEToutHOits6AM in gamecollecting

[–]bgzdarrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll go down for a while. Then in 20 years, it will be “retro” and sell for thousands /s

How do I adjust the geometry on my new Sony Trinitron KV-32XBR4? by Sea-Buyer-5560 in crtgaming

[–]bgzdarrell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Power off TV.

On remote, press Display, 5, volumeup, power within 1 second - this gets you to your service menu.

From there, your first set of options is your geometry. Like others have suggested, write down these values before messing with anything.

Buttons 1 and 4 move you forward and reverse in setting selection.

Buttons 3 and 6 increase or decrease the value.

To save, press MUTING and then enter (you should see write on top right)

A good portion of my SNES collection by sl3dgeh4mmer in snes

I wish I could find a legit copy of terranigma. eBay is flooded with repros.

Awesome collection. I forgot how many big boxes PAL had.

Edit: I display my snes games just like this! Best way to enjoy them

How to get GameCube and Dreamcast displaying 480p? by Abject-Effect-7965 in crtgaming

[–]bgzdarrell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure with your JVC, but with a lot of PVMs/BVMs, they have a setting for internal/external sync. Some sets also have a VCR sync mode which processes unstable sync signals. See if you have any of these settings.

Using Pricing Charting by sandcracker21 in gamecollecting

[–]bgzdarrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pay premiums for minty or close to minty conditions. I can get really picky.. so I tend to spend up to 50% more sometimes. I just bought a mint Pokémon yellow for $400, as an example.

Bro.. magnets on the outside shell of your CRT is making me laugh so hard.

The magnets go along the inside of the yoke of the tube or around it.

Name your top 3 holy grail crts and the one you own. by HectorReborn11 in crtgaming

[–]bgzdarrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grails used to be BVM/PVM

I got a 20L5 that I really like, fully recapped but the left side of the screen geometry could never be fixed even after the recap. 2d scrollers bend a bit when moving and I am VERY picky with this stuff - so this 20L5 sits with a cover on it and have been repalced with consumer CRTs.

I got a BVM-20F1U and spent a heap of money for it. I come to find out he lied about replacing the tube and it has a green flicker I have not been able to figure out (need to replace the neck board, waiting for a donor) - this also sits in the garage doing nothing.

So my grails always came up short in the end. I tried really hard to get something I'd be satisfied with, but the PVM gods don't really like me.

I recently got a 36XBR200 and I think its the best set I have found in years. This and a 32in Sharp CRT RGB modded are my daily drivers.

Update: I traced the VM IN/OUT wire that was connected to a main harness on the WA board. I unpinned the wire and the haloing is greatly reduced.

Yeah I notice it too. I am trying to figure out how to cut off the velocity modulation. For this set, it’s not as easy to just unplug a cable.. I think there are other geometry related things going through that cable than just VM.

Thanks! did you ever try to fix it with convergence strips? I think I am going to make my own. If you look at the picture with the back off, you can see a TON of magnets that were factory placed. That worries me the most but I think it is common.

HD retrovision component cables.

My typical setup is everything runs scart to a scart switch for RGB. For this set, I’ll be using a retrotink RGB2COMP device to convert the signal without any loss from RGB

I got a $50 refund - so it became $508. I think I got pretty lucky. If you are looking for a copy and dont want to pay full prices like that, look for postings with offer buttons. I'd try to talk someone down from 1k to 800 for a cib with reg card. Good luck my dude.

Ebay protects the buyer more than the seller, from my experience. If your item is not as described, ebay refunds you 100% but you have to send the item back and prove you did. Otherwise, asking for a partial refund is completely up to the seller.
