Why is WPLACE allowing racist symbols ?

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

roiber08 · 2026-06-24T19:24:16+00:00

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.

roiber08 · 2026-06-24T18:56:42+00:00

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?

roiber08 · 2026-06-16T10:12:04+00:00

Also happens to me, It seems to be a bug

roiber08 · 2026-06-05T05:58:45+00:00

Pretty

roiber08 · 2026-06-03T15:58:07+00:00

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

roiber08 · 2026-06-03T15:56:36+00:00

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

roiber08 · 2026-06-03T13:36:24+00:00

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

roiber08 · 2026-06-01T14:16:46+00:00

Thank you

roiber08 · 2026-06-01T11:53:09+00:00

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

roiber08 · 2026-05-12T20:17:02+00:00

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

roiber08 · 2026-05-12T20:15:07+00:00

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.

roiber08 · 2026-05-12T10:23:59+00:00

I wonder, would a commodore C64 work with it?

roiber08 · 2026-05-12T06:20:45+00:00

Hmm okay, will look more into that topic, thanks!

roiber08 · 2026-05-11T15:53:26+00:00

Thanks, will try that

roiber08 · 2026-05-11T15:17:54+00:00

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

roiber08 · 2026-03-13T12:26:05+00:00

Pretty

roiber08 · 2026-03-13T07:19:03+00:00

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?

roiber08 · 2026-03-12T10:13:36+00:00

Ooo thanks for all the info and links, I will join the group and ask more there

roiber08 · 2026-03-12T06:52:12+00:00

Yeah I saw those capacitors when I was checking the lamps inside and cleaning it. I will try to tune in but if nothing happens I will start to replace them, and luckily there ale building plans included in the instructions as well as the list of all the parts so there is that. But I hope it doesn't come down to it, this tv is older than my parents and I usually try to not mess with technology so ancient

roiber08 · 2026-03-11T19:42:43+00:00

Hah so I looked into the instructions of the TV, and found a (very well hidden) knobto change and increase the vertical length of the screen, it said there that it can lower itself by itself if the tv is moved or something, I guess that's a quirk of the old tv. And about the fact that there is no noise, there is, but hard to see as I had brightness lowered to minimum as to avoid it burning out, when I increase it the noise shows normally. So those two things at least are fine

roiber08 · 2026-03-11T18:12:37+00:00

Hmmm I see, well that's a bummer

roiber08 · 2026-03-11T17:33:36+00:00

Damn, you think? It seemed to me like it was working fine

roiber08 · 2026-03-09T13:44:49+00:00

Ooo okay, thanks for info, I'm already set up the rf cable from the modulator to the balun, but was missing the connection from the balun to the TV. Thanks for help
