the kids got to hear static and the high pitched whine, but it now is just furniture for a center speaker.
I'll try to get it fixed eventually!
😭😭😭
Weird setup, but I respect it. Bet you've got a killer stereo setup to match
Was there a pop followed by a magic smoke release?
I assume you tried "giving it a good ol' slap"?
I'm not familiar with the specific model, but most CRT TVs used to have a secret "slap-activated self-repair mechanism", normally installed in one of the top corners. You just give it a good slap and it magically starts working again.
Why do you have so many TVs in one room?
Sounds like you didn't check the capacitors before you powered it on.
What fucking world do you live in Santa?
I hope you told them the static was the same color as the sky over Chiba City. #UnexpectedNeuromancer
Did magic smoke come out?
I have two 19" CRT monitors in boxes in my basement and one late-model (new enough for ATSC) but cheap CRT TV, but I kinda wish I also had some TV old enough to have a mid-century modernist wooden chassis.
