Wow! Much professional. Very Demure.
Yoo good job
If you've got a Raspberry Pi you can enable the composite video output and set it to PAL if you need a true reliable PAL video source.
Those "cheap" Hyperkin consoles usually have a switch on them to change between NTSC and PAL. I think you can get the RetroN 1 (their NES clone) for about $20-25. Might be able to find a used one even cheaper. I wouldn't use them for gaming specifically, but for testing things out it could come in handy.
Just today I received my 4 inch flat CRT from aliexpress and I’ve been having similar issues with screen size and that collapsed line, interesting that you uploaded this update just yesterday. This is at least giving me ideas for troubleshooting, even if you didn’t ultimately solve your issues.
What does tweaking pot W4 in the power supply section do for you?
@@coyote_den My pots are labelled RV (or possibly RU), and I don’t see anything near the 12V input.
The problem with the compression at the bottom is caused by the vertical deflection circuit's being inadequate to scan the screen entirely from top to bottom. The vertical circuit produces a sawtooth wave at approximately a 60 Hz rate. if that sawtooth wave is not linear, you can get results like you're seeing. There is a transistor or more than one transistor in that vertical circuit that is operating too close to its limits. If you look at a normal vertical waveform on an oscilloscope, you should see a smooth straight sawtooth. The waveform from this little TV is not smooth and straight; it is curved at the end, causing the compression seen in the picture.
Both look like low B+, or the secondary voltages coming off the flyback are low. Do you have a scope? Use an x10 probe to measure the voltage and flyback pulse at the collector of the HOT. The schematic is terrible but variable resistor W4 in the power supply section should adjust the B+ regulation.
The funny thing is of course it worked for everyone but you. I barely knew how to solder and made multiple mistakes and broke several traces, yet i still got it to work. Theoretically there could be a phase mismatch in the coils but 120V at 60Hz shouldnt make any difference since its internally running on DC everywhere after the regulator circuit. PAL/NTSC shouldnt make a difference since its black and white anyway and the b/w transmittions are pretty much compatible already
Seen some colour motherboards for sale recommended off the original link posted in that video. Thanks for going over some of the caveats of these. Not got any dead crts yet but hopefully we'll get some quality aftermarket solutions outside of 4K scalers soon.
It almost looks like the vertical linearity is off. I’m guessing there isn’t an adjustment for it. Maybe fiddle with the vertical driver see if there are components that may affect the linearity. The yoke coils may be wrong?
I was wondering about this project the other day. The board I bought is still unopened lol I doubt the problem would be a power supply problem, or a signal compatibility problem. It could be on the high voltage circuit, or, more likely, the circuit that provides horizontal and vertical signals to the yoke. The defect here is almost exactly like one I had on a security system CRT. Except that it would also distort the image a lot more. I couldn't figure out how to fix it.
Omg that’s amazing
Dallas in a nutshell
But Where's the Part 2 of this video? You said that you are going to upload it asap but years passed on as you didn't. Please 🙏 We are eagerly waiting for a dedicated part 2 of this video. It's been a real fun watching this video and restoring old memories. Thank you for such a nice video!! Great job bro!!
I am actually finishing editing it now, will be posted next week!
Part 2 is posted now!!!
An absolute fav on SNES! Can't believe there was never a home console follow-up or spiritual successor.
On another note is there a good kit you can get on Amazon for $20 and under? I saw this www.amazon.com/Precision-Screwdriver-Computer-Electronics-Compatible/dp/B087MBJC88/ref=asc_df_B087MBJC88/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693308325766&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15338997914772003572&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9057239&hvtargid=pla-1114290266528&psc=1&mcid=b475520233003aaaa2fca00295b7440e&gad_source=1 For $17 what do you think of that kit compared to these? For someone just starting out with limited funds should I spring for the Quinn or get this till I can afford a upgrade?
That one looks pretty good!
I would bet $100 both come out of the same factory and are made by a company that contracts for apex tools. That’s probably the one company that Hf contracts most of its product lines too.
Knowing how other tool brands are … I wouldn’t be shocked

Mike, you look like you're about 23 years old or something bro... did you go to two junkyard schools? Lol I've never used one of these, but I watched a show as a child, featuring a talking computer named "TXL". I recently found out her "character" was played by an Apple II - the bottom of it anyway, with the branding removed... I don't know how they got away with it! Oh Canada... LOL
Add about 12 years to that…
@@RetroTechorDie equals YOUNG 🎓
I saw one of these at a pawn shop yesterday! It was a tad out of my current budget, but maybe I'll save up for it- if it's still there! 😊
If you can swing it it will be one of the best monitors you use!
@@RetroTechorDie Thanks! I no longer own a CRY tv, and would love to unbox and play my old video games again, especially Nintendo NES! I'm in Canada, and everything is expensive now, especially food! Gotta make sure I can eat, but I might be able to swing it at a later date... at least we're ALL broke right now, so the chances of it still being there are decent LOL! 😊

Hey man, I just wanted to say this was such a great video, brought back some memories for me call my I still have my original N64 and I play it with my kids now, just ordered a game shark off of eBay. Thanks for the video and thanks for keeping it family friendly so I can watch it with my kids, you gained a new subscriber
Glad you enjoyed it! I have three kids my self and I want to make things I would be ok with them watching!
My Exec Dec Mkr was made in Hong Kong Cat No 60-1008 and I've got the 'manual'. Couldn't operate it without the manual - too complicated. Xmas present from way back.
I can't believe your calculator can spell when it's upside down. This is the one of these things that is weird about calculators. And the most word was boobies.
I have an old Ibook I found in my trunk and I think something leaked inside of the screen.. can I pop off the back cover, and if so how?
Also I believe it's the same model

When setting up globaltalk was there any consideration using a Network based VPN using routers / switches to prevent these machines from being publicly accessible on the internet?
Yes, one of the dangers is for it to work you need to know IPs of the other users. Which is why it’s still pretty closed to the public now. I know there are some people working on ways to open it up with out compromising your own network safety.

I work with computers weekly, so Ifixit is my choice. When people ask me I tell them to buy the Quinn (especially when on sale) and use ifixit for replacement parts. Great comparison.
