minivanmegafun posted:finding small CRTs nowadays is surprisingly hard. I have an old CCTV monitor that works but the raster lines are vertical and not horizontal so it looks all weird; and it's b&w which isn't great for a color computer my parents still have the 15in Amdek Color-I Plus composite monitor that we got with our Apple //c, they kept it when they sold the //c because I had my NES connected to it I just tried it this Xmas and it still works great after not having been powered up for probably 25 years, there's a little tear in the antiglare fabric but it's otherwise in great shape they're looking for a good home for it, PM me if you're interested

akadajet posted:Can you use those color studio monitors that are cheap on ebay? for some computers it just needs to accept composite for others (timex sinclair 1000/zx81) it needs to accept NTSC RF (at least without modification) in any case they're heavy and expensive to ship.

most RF-only systems have either a kit or schematics for extracting composite (or sometimes better than composite)

this isn't even the tip of the iceberg these guys bought out every atari warehouse on the west coast when they went under and have been selling new in box games and computers for over 20 years new in box Atari 825 printers for $199 new in box Atari 1040STs for $400 (lmao) Luigi Thirty fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Feb 22, 2017 |

continuing to spam this thread with an english computer instead of a welsh or american one so i got my Timex Sinclair 1000 ( zx81 ) in. it boots up! but unfortunately the keyboard cable is toast. No input whatsoever, opened it up, and that brittle thing is broken. This looks repairable, that thing's still really brittle but it's large enough pitch that I should be able to do something with it

I don't think I'd bother repairing the original cable, it's not that many pins so you could just solder in a permanent ribbon cable or something with a connector in the middle if you want to be fancy

if the keyboard is the same as the zx81 then i'm pretty sure someone makes brand new membranes

update on the TS1000 (aka zx81): keyboard was dead because Sir Clive Sinclair's Cheap As gently caress Ribbon Connectors Bent At A Horrible Angle got brittle and broke, that's hopefully fixed I haven't been able to get any modern television to recognize its RF output; I'll be doing a composite mod on it in a bit i brought the ti-99/4a home because i've been voluntold that i'm giving a presentation on computer programming to a bunch of pre-schoolers so logo it is

also i found that someone from DESiRE stumbled across a TI-99/4A in a thrift store and wrote what appears to be the first ever demo for this thing and published it in january of this year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhSUhE03XFw http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=68783#c782200 posted:Thought I'd write a little bit up on the genesis of this prod in case you guys are interested. We believe this is the first true demo/megademo on the TI99/4A, ever. Of course you have to be a little strict with the definition of a 'demo' to get that, but hey, it works for us.
