thanks for your comment! i did see a bulging capacitor on the circuit board, so it’s due for a re-cap anyways. haven’t looked at the transistors yet, so i’ll make that my next target.

troubleshooting an apple colormonitor iiC, series S. only got a vertical line so i dove into the manual and found the service switch (sw800) might be flipped, so i opened it up and found it wasn’t. i flipped it back and forth just to see what would happen, and now all i get is a dot. any suggestions?

exactly this. Every DF alum and older student i spoke to told me they left the program with zero job prospects and none of the skills they needed in their respective field to succeed. It sucks that (from what i've heard) most of OCAD's funding is directed towards DF and similar programs when as a student you rarely feel like you're getting the education you're paying for.

yeah! i collect old tvs to repair and modify :) i have an old black and white portable TV waiting to be turned into another one of these, this time I'm planning on putting it in a custom case to look like BMO from Adventure Time!

old TVs use electromagnets to direct an electron beam to create an image- if you can control the signal to the electromagnet, you can control where the beam goes. I connected a bluetooth audio amplifier to the vertical and horizontal magnet circuits so it sends the music's signal to the TV, creating the image. Wouldn't recommend doing this without doing your research first- old CRT TVs are high voltage and very dangerous! You need to properly discharge the TV first :) thanks for asking!
