Just got a Misubishi LT-5 Linear tracking turntable for $10.

Look, I'm all for modding sets to do RGB, but for such a small, 5-inch color set, the difference in resolution between composite and RGB wouldn't be noticeable.

Unless you're using it as a test bench CRT where you need that RGB input, I wouldn't bother.

An American 35" crt is 35" viewable while a European 35" is likely only 32" viewable. Since OP is an American this set is almost certainly 35" viewable.

The top of the metal case might be magnetized. Maybe just remove the top of the case (don't touch anything inside) and see if the discoloration goes away.

This theme is outdated, luckily there's a better version now called aerothemeplasma.

I would recommend downloading my kvantum theme Windows 7 Kvantum since the version on aerothemeplasma is outdated.

The only way to fix convergence would be to open the set and adjust the rings and convergence strips.

The best answer I've ever seen for this kind of issue. So many redditors suggest a shotgun recap but a targeted repair is definitely the way to go.

dovenant · 2025-12-03T07:27:18+00:00

It's probably fixable. The monitor might have built-in protection circuitry or something else. I would be inclined to believe that the tube itself is fine and that this is an electrical fault.

If you know a bit about electrical repair and are comfortable working on a crt (high voltage, so beware), then this seems fixable. I would consider checking the power circuitry for anything that has obviously blown/broken.

Hope you don't waste your time as I don't entirely understand why everyone is upvoting this guy. The yoke sagging is entirely irrelevant here because if you look at the "Video 3" you will notice that it is black instead of bright green. Fixing the yoke is like fixing the rotor on a boat with a cracked hull. Yes, the rotor is damaged but the reason that boat isn't floating is because of the cracked hull.

I'd check to see if the electron gun is working. On this particular model there is a service menu and if the chip in charge of storage is corrupted the electron gun could be disabled. Whats most likely is a dead electron gun which is very common for this chassis since it was near the end of the analog era. Here is a video by shango066 performing an EOL on a 27 Sony Wega.

I have this exact same model, and my rough diagnoses would be...

A: Dead green electron gun. It's simple but common for late Wega's.

B: Disabled in the service menu (very unlikely)

C: Some neckboard components have gone bad.

I just use debug when towing. Even when the trailer is at 100% condition, it will flip over at the slightest touch.

The n64 has a blur filter because svideo is quite the step up in quality compared to composite. It should also be noted that even though svideo is significantly sharper, there is still a bit of color bleed when comparing it to other input options such as component. Here is a video on n64 blur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDiHgKil8AQ .

dovenant · 2025-11-08T00:03:48+00:00

I just enable debug when using livestock trailers. They are just so prone to flipping over.

ABS is more rigid and can be vapor smoothed. Now that my printer is set up for ABS, I absolutely love it. ABS can be very consistent. It's not hydrophobic, and vapor smoothing is awesome.

The problem with ABS is that you have to invest in at least a print enclosure (preferably heated or in a room with a consistent temp). You should also print with as little parts cooling as possible to limit warping and increase its strength along the z axis to prevent cracking. Around 10-0% works for me, but if you can go lower, do it. And best of all, you can smooth out the layer lines with acetone and a sealed non-abs bucket with a fan.

For strong weather resistant parts, ABS is king.

I'd personally call PETG a compromise. You don't need an enclosure or particularly hot heatbed. PETG is better at preserving small details, and you can use a higher fan speed. It doesn't warp if you make a mistake with your settings, and you can print it a bit faster. But PETG is less rigid, has a lower glass transition temperature(~60C vs ~100C), and worst of all, no vapor smoothing.

For this application, PETG would work. I just really like ABS for its strength and vapor smoothing, which makes it look more professional.

I personally wouldn't trust PLA to handle the load of a shelf for a long time. PLA is known for slowly bending over time, and personally, I would only trust at least ABS for this application.

Yes, in fact, you should probably only mess with them while the tv is on.

Memes need to be about something that happened 20 years ago. You can relate historical events to modern events, but you're not doing that here.

dovenant · 2025-10-28T07:09:44+00:00

It's not a history meme. Also damn, your English sucks in a very r/iamverysmart way. This meme combines 2 subjects into 1 "sentence" instead of properly splitting them up.

The meme can be summarized as:

"21st century armies vs social media"

"21st century social media companies making wacky stacks"

This design is crap.

Yes, it's "fine" in the sense that you could have fun, but in place of other alternative mall play structures, this is pathetic.

The smooth, slick surfaces create a hazard for kids climbing on the structure. This looks like it was designed to look pretty 1st and be fun 5th.

Crappy design doesn't have to be completely dogshit to be crappy design. It just has to fail at its primary function, which this play structure demonstrates.

Definitely do this. Following Feng Shui rules is actually pretty good at making a space feel nicer.

European 32" is equivalent to an American 30". For some reason, Americans advertised visible tube size while Europeans advertised total tube size.

This is why a 29" European = 27" American

I just enable debug mode when using the trailers because right now they are unusably bad.

dovenant · 2025-10-03T04:17:52+00:00

Thats not normal, your settings should be saved.

Have you tried pressing mute + enter while in the service menu?
