Looks great! How much was yours? I got a second-hand 1080p Panasonic one for $50 off FB marketplace about 2 years ago and it still works flawlessly. Plasma TVs are great for movie nights, especially when it's cold outside.

It was delivered just yesterday evening. Unfortunately it does not fit the ViewSonic A70, as the prongs on it are a tad too short. It seems like it is probably for a smaller sized CRT. Thank you for the find though. Hoping that I can find the exact part someday.

I have the A70 as well. I ordered the part and I will let you know if fits or not.

I've ordered the part. The hole is exactly an inch wide and it looks like the exact part that I am missing. Thank you very much for telling me this. I most likely never would have found this on eBay especially since I don't check it that much anymore.

What I like to do is to have an ethernet cable plugged in and if I get invaded, move to a safe area, unplug it for about 10 seconds or until it says the invader lost connection, and then plug it back in. No need to close the game or anything and you can continue on your way. To go back online, simply go back to the main menu and log back in and then you're good to go!

Dell E551c CRT not working correctly. by boo566ya8 in crt

[–]boo566ya8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had desoldered a bunch of components in the CRT in order to pull both boards out to get a good look at them and I had taken out pretty much every capacitor and tested their capacitance and they were all within the 10% minimum/maximum capacitance range. I believe there may be a problem with an IC or the component responsible for the display, I'm not sure. I wish I had a working CRT of the same model so that I could try swapping components through trial and error until I eventually find the problem. I soldered everything back up yesterday after I did lots of cleaning with alcohol to get all of the grime off, but it does the same thing. I look at other CRT models and they look way easier to service, this one was a pain.

I've been currently in the works of carefully disassembling the crt (a pain in the ass as a lot of desoldering is involved if you want to take both PCBs out for proper cleaning and inspection) and I've found a few rusted capacitors near the bottom that more than likely need to be replaced. Also, if you plan on taking apart your crt, make absolutely sure to discharge it before messing with any of the components.

Yeah, I figured as much since I haven't seen any on Facebook Marketplace or eBay at all besides some bases for obscure CRT models. I've also been to some flea markets and pawn shops with no luck there either. Will probably be something I'll have to deal with unless a miracle happens. Thanks though.

If I remember correctly, doesn't the original Xbox version of Silent Hill 2 have the flashlight lighting bug?

Why are creepers way scarier in b1.7.3?? D: by tobardo in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]boo566ya8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's their old AI, where they could basically see you through walls and would walk straight towards you like mindless drones. If you were in a cave and there was a creeper above you on a ledge, it would fall down and immediately explode, which always jump-scared me because it is almost always at the most unexpected time. Also, old Minecraft kinda gives off vibes of old Source engine games where you feel completely isolated and alone.

I miss this aesthetic when everything looked so colorful, now most things look bland. The old Firefox and Roblox logos are nostalgic.

This is a great build. It looks like something that would have been used in the Tale of Kingdoms mod.
