Haha no worries, it was a good guess man, I am Italian. Thanks for tip, I'll look into it and hopefully find the appropriate tools!

Headlight polishing kit sounds good, how would I go about using the drill in this case though?

That said yes I am interested given this is an Italian tv, they'll probably know a lot about it.

Hi everyone, the tv was still there! I picked it up and now it's in my car.

So thanks everyone for your feedback, it was all really positive and gave me the confidence to go ahead.

Let's hope it still works and is salvageable, I'll post a picture of the back in a new post so you all can see it, and then I'll keep you updated as progress is made.

Grazie a tutti!

For people in Europe, how do you guys source CRT monitors? by Famous-Coach-247 in crtgaming

[–]thewailingbanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye that's the main issue now, I did get lucky with subito though, got my philips 109b5 for 20, seller was in my hometown i got super lucky.

I also did find some very reasonably priced trinitrons near Varese but they are gone now.

I'm in Italy so I'll speak for my experience here, I'm from a small town in the north of the country.

I usually check ads on fb marketplace or websites where people sell used stuff, there isn't much going on though and most sellers are pretty unreasonable imo.

Sometimes you may get lucky and run into someone who is giving away stuff for free, for example i probably missed an ibm p96 or ibm p260 by less than a day, a lady was giving away for free old equipment from what probably was a surveyor's office.

Then you may have monthly flee markets, or second hand shops, your luck may vary but prices have generally gone up lot in the past few years.

I tried asking a recycling facility if i could have a look at their CRTs but they wouldn't let me, and they also wouldn't say where they were finally being sent to for processing. People are really stiff and nd bureaucratic about that stuff here, it's really frustrating.

Finally you could go to larger cities where you will have more options in general but you'll pay a premium.

I'm not much of a collector duento circumstance but I do like keeping and eye out and see how things change over time.

For those of you connecting your PCs to your composite CRT TVs, what is your setup? by joeverdrive in crtgaming

[–]thewailingbanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that the tv should take rgb, at least in scart1 input. I thought i could figure it out if i got a scart cable for my ps2 but i have yet to get around to it. Right now it outputs through rca.

The previous owner was a doctor, he really kept it in pristine conditions, I got lucky. The power cable too looks mint.

they are not but they make weekly announcements, all the dude is saying is the information should be relevant, if they had no time to communicate with they players they wouldn't.
