Man...what a beauty. I'm converting a section of my attic room into an 80s room. Can't wait to enjoy all the old movies on VHS again. Or the Pong console, Atari 2600 etc. No internet, no cell phone in this room. I've got to go back in time.
@@user-zx8de8op9l I had one back then. But I almost completely lost interest in games. I don't even like the new ones anymore. A console for some short fun with another person should be enough. But I already bought a huge rear projection TV and 300 VHS tapes and I love watching them on this TV.
This is absolutely fantastic, well done! I love the look of this TV...this is the boxy square type projection TV I wanted as a kid, and yours has the best of both worlds now.
looks just gorgeous!! these absolute behemoths just have a charm to them that i absolutely adore lol. wish i had enough room to fit one of these sets in my home.
I've always wondered what one of those cheap projectors with a native 480p resolution would look like in an old cabinet like this. Watching DVDs in their 480p native resolution should look really good.

@@jacobcole7644I got them from Video Display Cooperation (VDC) if I remember it right. But since they are no longer made you must be lucky to get a set of new ones these days. If you really intend to replace them you should always be searching when a set comes up as new old stock. A good source is old TV repair shop liquidations. But they are getting scarce too... Another good source for obsolete parts is Qservice Electronics.
@@jacobcole7644 Seems my comment got lost....here again: I got them from VDC Video Display Cooperation as new old stock.

I would absolutely love a retro home bar,, with a fancy hifi system.. I've long wondered how I would get a retro tv in there, which would look the part of 20th century luxury.. But with modern convenience.. This would solve all my problems.. an amazing idea!
Amazing modification, man. You're very lucky. I'd kill for this set to play my laserdiscs and Snes games.... At this point I'm thinking of buying a 4:3 arcade ips display because square rear projection sets like this are gone the way of the dinosaur in my country,, you never see them pop up.
As a kid I would have killed for one of those, now 600 hundred thousand million years later I've got a Samsung 98" and Im very happy. Better later than never.
Beautiful i appreciate it 👍id fancy such a setup in my home in india also i never knew projection tvs existed in the 80s i thought they were 2000s era thing glad to see your video it felt good
Very cool....I absolutely love the way these old tvs look. They are pleasing to look at in my opinion...they definitely add character to a room. Modern tvs are too boring in my opinion. Great picture but boring.
holy smokes! this is gorgeous. i'm not a fan of LCD Projectors tbh, but this is the exception. the outter hull is a masterpiece to behold, and to see a non-washed out image on it is doing it justice. i only had a few bad experiences with LCD projectors (flickering pixels, also the blue constantly dying due to overheating.. could have been a bad resistor somewhere, I just gave up). image quality was also a bit wonky, it was jagged compared to a smoother DLP... although, I can see a benefit to the jag. Play NES on it!!! :D
If you do have a Sony KDS46A2000 HDTV, you have a SXRD set. The have great picture quality but they are known to be plagued with green blob issues. It was so bad, many customers filled a class action lawsuit with Sony.
Can I install a new front projector (as cheap as possible cost) in my old 60" diag. Hitachi RPTV. Will any type of projector work by projecting directly onto the Fresnel lens screen from the rear? (after gutting old CRT guns) I was considering making a wine bar / storage out of it but It would be cool to have an image on front.
I would LOVE to squeeze a nice new oled screen inside one of these. Think that'd be possible? Anyways for my 4:3 applications I prefer CRT but that's just me. However, this set is a work of art. It should not be forgotten. Nice mods!
@@ChadBoughton it was a crt projector too but i used a dlp projecter it was a toshiba 720 1080i 50inch. the pioneer tv was already 16x9 65inch /so i put the toshibe inside it with the toshiba fresnel lens outta it. where the old crt projecter was i installed my av reciever and my vcr dvd combo. alll in all looks great sounds awesome i wanna hook up the buttons how did you do it? that movis in 16x9 you should use the zoom so you dont get the black bars
Awesome. I have a question did you restore your LD player? If so do you know anyplace that specializes in laserdisc replacement parts? I have a Pioneer CLD D504 that I bought new back in 95. It definitely needs some repairs. My picture looks horrible. I am hoping it just the laser that needs to be replaced.

What a time machine!!!! I miss my old Mitsubishi Crt projection TV in 1989
I do like the original thing, but this was a neat conversion, and you have a good test for movies, too :)
Never knew those existed as far back as 1983 wow. It had to be super expensive back then.
This looks like a stunner, would've been amazing growing up with this TV and playing the PS one on it. Looks ahead of its time.
I still have my old projection tv it’s 24 years old and still going strong
I still have 2. A 1996 Sony and a 1999 Toshiba. I replaced the CRTs some years ago and they are working great for retro gaming.
@@eaglevision993 was it hard to get new CRTs for it? I’d like to replace the CRTs in my tv when they eventually get dim

Great job so far. Glad you wanted to save this beautiful piece of history.
Dude that is AWESOME! Great job! That TV looks so nice!
This is an incredible feat of a project. I say never get rid of this tv, or of you do, sell it to me lol
So awesome. I had a 43 inch Hitachi. It had an amazing picture.
Wow!!! This is so beautiful!! so retro futuristic! I really wanna play the SNES on this! The colors are gonna pop!
seriously cool as hell. if i ever get my dream MCM pad and decide to keep a room period correct i would totally try to do something just like this
man if u do this you are a bad person
I love projects like these that transform your TV from a regular TV into a better technology
Better? No it isnt. He cut the lifespan in half and ruined it.

I love retrofitting so much!!

They should do a DIY version of Space Screen 45 for any big TV set
Muito legal! Parabéns pela tv televisão
This TV really looks good!!
I suggest to set the projector in its menu to always be 4:3 if it supports it, so it wouldn't be cut off. 😉
waw ! good job man. Cheers from Belgium.
Epic build 🚀

Did a good job
Dontcha kno I reely loved your video, eh? Yuh reely pulled oat ALL the stops, ya kno? ‘Die Hard 3:With a Vengeance’ is what it’s all aboot, buddy!
@Chad Boughton. You may want to put a 48 inch 4k LG C1 OLED into this chassis. That will give you a much more CRT like image.
A frankenstein tv...nice
Beauty
Just wow!!!
Would love to see some restored/modern 4:3 content on there. That's awesome!
EDIT: Oh duh, you gotta show the Synder Cut on it.
I really messed up by not putting a full screen vhs in there for the video
@@ChadBoughton VHS tapes are low quality compared to LaserDiscs though, I would say a full screen LD
This is so sick, that tv is so rare and this guy ruined it
looks good

dude you dont need a hdmi a regular cable box, or dvd player
@@Warp3326 overscan problem can fix it？
what@@lsg303
What's the film called
Is 2 by 4 just a generic term or something?
Why is there a bred tie on the ground next to it? What message is this sending?
That I have cats
I don't even understand what an LCD rear projection means. I understand the original tv, but not the mod.
Projectors today work by LCD, DLP or LCoC. This has an LCD projection unit in it. So it’s modem viewing in an old enclosure
What was wrong with the old one?@@ChadBoughton
so what did he do
Ruined the rare tv
ruined it
il buy that for a dollar
