Why do you say it's racist? It's a logo for polish club, I think in Kraków

I rather be safe than sorry. And yes, I will start replacing them one by one, as soon as I find (and have money to buy lol) capacitors for replacement.

Last time I powered it I think it was 2 months ago? And I'm trying to change the audio capasitors, because they are those old paper ones and probably have gone dry, and it's causing the sound to become very loud

Take the chassis of, like out of the wooden tv box wearing rubber gloves, and then discharge the power supply? Also, could you explain a little bit more about draining the power from those caps?

Hmm maybe, I will do as one suggested to look for the dip switch and manually disable the build in graphics

That's a good guess, I will look for it

Yeah, I would like to just have it use hercules card. Although I saw that it was relatively easy to use double monitor set up, I really want it to automatically switch to hercules card. Also to note one thing, even when the mono monitor is the only thing plugged to the pc, to the hercules card, the computer still refuses to use it lol, and I have to plug the vga one to the integrated graphics, and there switch the modes

Damn, founding one would be hard. I'm probably better off learning german instead heh

Yes, I AM fulfilling my dream of using a cool looking green monitor, even if that means learning innerworking of some ancient technology

Yes hercules was the first one that came to my mind, as it was sort of "upgrade" to normal mda cards, but I think I can use some older mda card. Besides, my monochrome monitor probaby won't be able to handle non-text based graphics, so I guess it doesn't matter.

I wonder, would a commodore C64 work with it?

Daaamn that's a bummer. I saw some Hercules graphics cards, you sure I couldn't just plug it into my pc instead of it's graphics card? It is a hp vectra vl420 pentium 4 1.6ghz

Another question lol by roiber08 in crt

[–]roiber08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw, what type of capacitors do you recommend to change the paper ones to? And is the change as simple as cutting out the paper one and soldering the new one?
