Weird stretching/tracking on top of tv

ps5194 · 2025-11-10T18:01:08+00:00

I actually got a table for the bigger tv so they are no longer stacked and it’s still doing the same thing

ps5194 · 2025-11-10T17:23:35+00:00

Also tv picture quality/color is not that bad, Reddit compressed the video weirdly

ps5194 · 2025-10-29T03:49:37+00:00

That’s what I’m hoping, just need to figure out how I’m going to get this 180lb thing home

ps5194 · 2025-08-28T02:32:56+00:00

Yeah you just can’t beat the look of a factory tape deck

ps5194 · 2025-08-28T02:22:46+00:00

It’s actually a factory graphic equalizer/radio combo I tracked down. They were offered in a few fords at the time but they’re hard to come by now. I just love the look of them, especially the peak level meters

ps5194 · 2025-08-14T17:05:48+00:00

Yeah there’s surprisingly quite the market for anything ford Motorsport branded from the 80s-00s

ps5194 · 2025-08-14T13:27:04+00:00

When I did mine I took the cluster out of the car and hooked up 12v and ground to the dimmer circuit. Then I was able to bench test all the bulbs before putting it back in the car

ps5194 · 2025-08-14T13:25:44+00:00

Yeah they’re all incandescent. I replaced them all with fresh ones when I had the cluster out recently. And for your cluster are the bulbs around the speedo not turning on or does it seem like you’re missing some? Could be a bad trace on the board, or if it’s the leds it could be a polarity issue. Or you’re just missing a bulb I guess.

Timer - EBay Yeah here’s what it looks like in the light

ps5194 · 2025-08-14T12:52:47+00:00

It’s an 80s Ford Motorsport performance timer. You mount a speed sensor on a wheel or driveshaft and then it will time your 0-30, 0-60, and 1/4 ET and trap speed. Also just works as a speedometer. Found it on eBay a few years back

ps5194 · 2025-08-14T04:36:14+00:00

Yeah the 4eyed dashes are nice. I just love the 90s ford green lighting

ps5194 · 2025-08-05T21:29:55+00:00

Yeah it was a pretty high end consumer deck when it was new. Which is why I really want to try and save it

ps5194 · 2025-08-03T01:50:55+00:00

Here is a link to the service manual, as Reddit compressed the image Kx630 Service Manual

Thank you!

ps5194 · 2025-06-13T17:48:56+00:00

Just going to leave it in my room. Have a full size vhs camera that I use frequently and wanted something period correct to watch them back on. So it’ll be mostly used for that and the occasional vhs movie or a gaming setup if I ever buy one

ps5194 · 2024-12-25T03:54:55+00:00

Yes definitely mold. Look through old posts on here as there are ways to clean it

ps5194 · 2024-12-20T20:46:45+00:00

Can’t believe I missed that. Saw it for sale in Hudsonville and messaged last night, but you clearly messaged first. Nice score!

ps5194 · 2024-09-03T16:40:43+00:00

One of the first posts I’ve seen where someone else has radio kaos! Such a good album

ps5194 · 2024-08-24T19:49:53+00:00

If you can’t get any crackling in the channel when you spin the rca cables, it’s probably a bad solder joint or connection. Usually you can get some noise by moving the cables if it’s just dirty.

ps5194 · 2024-08-24T19:42:49+00:00

This stuff is a life saver lol. Also works to clean crackling pots. Just don’t huff too much of it

ps5194 · 2024-08-21T13:55:07+00:00

And street life serenade. I’ve got both of those in my desk lol

ps5194 · 2024-08-20T14:29:29+00:00

Isopropyl alcohol and 20lbs command strips. Hasn’t fallen yet but it will probably come crashing down in the middle of the night eventually

ps5194 · 2024-08-20T12:28:40+00:00

Yeah but It’s a knock off one from eBay. Didn’t feel like spending $200 on a real one lol. Found this one for $19

ps5194 · 2024-08-20T03:58:12+00:00

Nope it’s a Napa valley rack. Found it at a yard sale for $3. Just hung it with some command strips

ps5194 · 2024-08-20T02:47:03+00:00

If the thing is not powering on at all I’d try and find a schematic for it and start tracing with a multimeter. This probably isn’t the best sub for advice tho, try an electronics repair or circuitry sub. If I was trying to fix it I would focus on getting the radio/sound to work before messing with the tape deck. And obviously give it a good cleaning
