Not back then. But I do remember seeing my family having a SNES & a N64 back at my old house, where I use to live, as a baby. But you should see my room, to this day! I got a TON of retro stuff! I would also love to see you test out N64 games, on these TVs!! ^^
@@JaWayne Might I suggest using a q-tip and rubbing alcohol to clean the cartridges? Blowing into them I've learned will actually cause the pins to get drentched in spit and will make them more unreliable.
@@JaWayne Hey Jacob, 32" is like the PERFECT size for gaming even for today's modern TV standards... The reason being, that it looks just about right and comfortable on the eyes (without goin' blind) if you're gonna be sittin' around 6ft or less away from the screen. This especially true if you're gonna be gaming at night. If you go to any electronics dealer (like Best Buy or Target) that specializes in TVs, and try to compare the 32-inchers with all those GIANT screens, you will prolly notice that the 32-inchers will most very likely always look the BEST from a just few feet away. HUGE-ASS, monster colossal-sized screens that are like 80" or bigger, are just gonna KILL your eyes and make ya feel HELLA TIRED after only a short gaming session. You'd hafta sit like in the NEXT room, with SUNGLASSES on, just in order to play comfortably with a screen that huge; regardless of the native resolution. Take it as a tip, from someone who KNOWS!!!
Congrats on the score! Thanks for the super entertaining video. I loved hearing you say "oh shit" over and over :) And how about that Jurassic Park music!!
I bought this same exact tv in 2005. It looked amazing playing everything from SNES up through even Xbox 360 in SD. DVDs looked incredible too! I gave it to my parents in 2008 when I got my first HDTV. I would still have it to this day if my parents didn't leave it on 24/7 and burn it out. I loved this set!
I have a Toshiba 32" as well, but different model. I owned different model CRT TVs back in the days and I found and felt in love with the Toshiba brand. I had a 27" and it died after 10 years. I think I picked it up at Best Buy for $500 dollars. That TV actually had a PIP (Picture in Picture) feature. But I was fortunate to pick the 32" for free, someone just threw it out on the curve and put a paper on it that said, "Take Me". The remote for the 27" actually worked for the 32". It's the perfect TV for games all the way up to the PS3 with component input. Some PS3 games actually looked much better on this TV than on LCD TVs. The sound coming out from it is fantastic. The only bad thing about it is it's extremely heavy.
Yeah those things are a beast and if you were by yourself you wouldn’t have been able to scoop the 32” from the curb. I recently found two 27” RCAs on the curb and they worked beautifully. I sold one for $125 and the other for $80. I think they were from a school. But yeah Toshibas are my favorite. I’m not getting rid of this 32” because it looks fantastic and I don’t want to ever move it again! Thanks for sharing your stories!
Beautiful 😀 love the video. Mine is a 27inch Philips crt that treats me wonderfully. Look into getting an S Video cable for your SNES and N64, it’ll do wonders for the image quality :)
If you ever decide to open that TV for cleaning and maintenance, wear thick rubber gloves, because the shock can kill you. Also that old SNES you have there can be fix by replacing the capacitors inside! Even with basic soldering skill this can be achieved, after that it'll work like new. Cheers!
That's great to know! I'd love to give it a shot (the Super Nintendo). And yeah I saw a video of someone working on this exact same Toshiba model and he shows the shock that comes out of the tube. I'll probably pass on messing with older tube TVs hahah
One thing I’ve noticed is that on the OG SNES the picture seems to zoom in and out, but on my Mini SNES it doesn’t do that. Probably because it’s not a cartridge but the game directly installed in the console programming.
Interested - I'm curious about that. I haven't played any of the fully loaded consoles but it's pretty neat that you have all of the games at your fingertips.
@@JaWayne Yes, my dad was able to install loads more games on the console like Super Mario Stars + Super Mario World combo, Addams Family, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or even the 2 Super Bomberman games. I even completed Yoshi’s Island in almost 8 hours !
The SNES mini is just an emulator. The quality is not as good as the original running on a CRT. I have both the SNES original and SNES mini modded as well. The SNES mini is just another cheap emulator. There are better emulators like Ambernic and Powkiddy that plays the retro games better.
@@JaWayne There are available cap kits, but they are board revision specific, so open up your SNES prior to buying any cap kits to get the correct board revision. And they aren't too hard to do.
Hey there! I'm glad you noticed that - I was hoping someone would see them since I didn't highlight the VCRs. I've been buying VCRs when I go to estate sales and garage sales trying to find the ultimate VCR. I really like those Panasonics. I have them all grouped up and I actually tested those as well to make sure they're all fully operational - all of them are except one of the Sonys. I really want to make a separate video on testing the VCRs, especially if I get some more. I'll probably sell a lot of them as I find remotes for each one but I'll keep the better ones and have them on a couple CRT TVs at my house. They aren't actually all hooked up, I tied up the cords for each one and I untie them when testing them/using them. Another note: I'd love to try my hand at fixing them and understanding how they work on the inside but haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet! Thank you for watching!
Record at 60fps to match the same frequency so it'll reduce flicker and better showcase the fidelity of crt along with adjusting the tube brightness/contrast to better suit the camera, awesome content btw keep it rolling!
I'd love to try that out! My goal was to shoot my "tech" videos in 4K and my camera only goes up to 24/30 fps at 4K. I could always knock it down to 1080 and do 60 fps but I guess there are pros and cons to each option.
@@JaWayne you can still upload 1080p upscaled at 4k even tho your camera isn’t recording at 4k it still has a fantastic sensor that might not be so noticeable and it’ll be worth the ever so slightly loss of super sharp resolution and crop-ability. Give it a try it’ll surprise you.
Dude don't blow in them either, the moisture gets in, you have a game bit screw driver?? There cheap, open the cartridges and clean the pins. Most times games dont work is because of bad connection (dirty pins) The start button on controller gets dirty easily to, easy fix though.
@@JaWayne The last lineup of Toshiba 'Theaterwide' CRTs which came out back in the mid-2000s I think, that were 16:9 HD and supported HDMI inputs were the FINEST breed ever... Jacob, did you ever happen to own one of those? They costed a fair penny, but the colors and picture details were FANTASTIC!!! 👍
Yes, it's my only over 30" CRT and I think it will be my only over 30" CRT haha - it was such a pain finding someone to help me load it up and unload it. I've had it online to sell but I think I'm just going to keep it since it's a nice set and I don't really want to move it again, or find another big one again. I do search for the Sonys and if I did see a Trinitron WEGA like you mention that's over 30" I'd consider it. Those are quite rare and lovely.
@@JaWayne its located on flyback. There are written Focus and Screen. You should adjust Screen. Use a screwdriver with safe on this knob. My tip is: put brightness on mid way (stardard value of your tv) and contrast on maximum, then put your screen on black screen waiting (ex: video1, video2) with no sinal, videogame turned off, turn up screen knob until become too bright (white) and after go down slowly knob until it become just black without grey or white color. Do it safe, crts are high voltage in other parts around. You could improve focus knob (sharpeness) either. I guess it should work!
@@Joao-hf1qm Thank you for this tip! Yeah I'll watch some videos to make sure I do it safely because I definitely am worried about frying myself - or even just the TV. Thanks again for the info!
I believe it's the console itself - although it could be the console's AV output. For this video I was using the exact same cords as the first console and just swapped the console. It also smells bad, like possible mold on the inside. In fact, all the games my Dad gave me had a foul odor haha probably from moisture in the attic or wherever he had them.
That SONY VCR in the middle of the other 2 SONY VCRs is the exact same VCR I still have! That’s awesome! Does yours have a manufacture date sticker? Mine doesn’t.
Cool video. Fantastic score on the Toshiba. You can get some nice s-video cables for the Super Nintendo. Also hdretrovision makes component cables but they are a bit $$
That's awesome. Do you think the component cables are worth it? I'd be willing to spend the money to see what it displays like - I've never used them before and I'm super curious.
They aren't actually all hooked up - only one is to test VHS tapes. I do collect and sometimes resell VCRs tho. Most of the ones in this video are not working and I plan to fix them - I've already started the process but I want to start making videos on tinkering with them as well so trying to figure out the time management on shooting that (vs shooting new CRT videos). I have dreams but not a lot of time! haha
I'll fix that old SNES soon! Learning how to approach it and I'm wanting to try cleaning some other ones that I have before I try to fix this one. It'll be neat to see the inside and see what's going on with it.
@@JaWayneyea TH-cam it. I never knew they should be cleaned regularly if played regularly, and I do see black stuff come off them when cleaning. And you don't want that shit going in your 72pin connector in your system.
Did you own any of these games as a kid?
Yep, but on emulation
Not back then. But I do remember seeing my family having a SNES & a N64 back at my old house, where I use to live, as a baby.
But you should see my room, to this day! I got a TON of retro stuff!
I would also love to see you test out N64 games, on these TVs!! ^^
@@SKN64Productions Yeah I've been doing that on some of the CRTs - I'm filming Rogue Squadron N64 going through the game. Check out those videos!

@@supermariof0521 Yes, good point. I didn't really know that until recently when I've gone down this rabbit hole - thanks to TH-cam! haha
Just got myself a big CRT for myself it’s truly a game changer with the older consoles
Yeah it really is! I'm so glad I found some good TVs so far. It's so neat to play old games on them.
The sounds when you pop the cartridges in and out of the console are so satisfying for some reason.
Heck yeah, I love the feel of it and the sound. Very rewarding.
32, great size! Nice collection!
Thank you!! It's been fun hunting for them.

Hahah yeah exactly. Super nostalgic!
the SNES's video problem is 100% bad caps. If you wanted to recap it, you should!
Is that hard to do? I'm sure there are videos on TH-cam. I'm also sure I'll have to buy some sort of kit to recap it.

It's been amazing! I try not to use it too much to preserve it - it was a great find.
Nice tv 💪
Thank you! haha

Glad you saw that!! I'll definitely make a separate video highlighting that.
Question, why do you own so many VCRs and why have them hooked up simultaneously? Asking as a VCR enjoyer. Beautiful CRT by the way
