Sorry for the blurry pic I was in a rush! Model: pvm-20l2md

Saw this Zenith 3 Space Command on the side of the road. Would've grabbed it but I didn't see any cables on the back.

Having the ability to get up, look at your shelf of movies and putting it in your VHS or DVD player. I just finished watching My Cousin Vinny on VHS, one of the best movies I watched from the early 90s. People who grew up in the era had one hell of a time.

Its harder to tell on camera irl but the screen around 1-2inches has lighter color / contrast. Does anyone know why?

Hello! I’ve just got my hands on a JVC TM-90PSN (1983).

I want to use it with a Raspberry Pi 4.

Is this the right pathway? Or what’s the highest resolution solution?

Video Path:

Raspberry Pi 4 ➔ Micro-HDMI to HDMI Cable ➔ HDMI-to-AV Converter ➔ Yellow RCA Cable ➔ RCA-to-BNC Adapter ➔ Monitor

Audio Path:

Raspberry Pi 4 ➔ Micro-HDMI to HDMI Cable ➔ HDMI-to-AV Converter ➔ Red/White RCA Cables ➔ Stereo-to-Mono Y-Adapter ➔ Monitor

Is the video input in the monitor BNC?

The other plug options are RGB TTL and EIAJ 8-pin VTR connector?

I don’t have much information on it so anything would be appreciated.

Got some Judge Dredd playing, cleaned the heads and got everything sorted on the tv, now just to decide where to put the darn thing!

with audio in. (anime is Gate)

I saved this Zenith Y1908W from the trash the other day and have done a bit of restoration (even found the missing knob on ebay!) but despite my efforts I can’t seem to get a clean picture. It’s sometimes missing color, sometimes missing lines, and always static-y/snowy/jittery. Sometimes I’m able to get clean audio, which sounds surprisingly good through the mono speaker. The only inputs are the old screw-type VHF/UHF twin leads so I’m delivering audio/video through a string of adapters (which I successfully tested on other TVs so no issue there).

I expect at some point I’ll have to go in and adjust the convergence but before that I’d at least like to have a stable signal. I also have the original Photofact service manual if that would be helpful in diagnosing the issue(s).

Thoughts?

Essa TV tem aproximadamente a mesma idade que eu e ainda funciona perfeitamente, as coisas antigamente realmente tinham qualidade.

I have no idea where to start with this, I have good soldering skills but no idea what I’d have to replace, and yes I know about the whole high voltage fly back

Howdy, fellas. Got this beauty off of fb marketplace last year and it worked fine for a few months. After moving things around in the basement, it suddenly stopped responding to the remote and (more importantly) had no picture or sound. I opened it up and didn't notice anything that looked disconnected from the move, and so I just shrugged and set it aside until recently since I had no use for it for a while

Plugged it back in today out of curiosity, and was surprised to get...SOME sort of picture. It's a single horizontal line, starts out as green and eventually settles into being white, with a buzzing sound to accompany it. Is this salvageable? Would love to have this for my retro gaming space downstairs, so if I can fix this that would be great.

I have this 32 inch sony trinitron (kv32fs100). I was wondering how much it is worth and is someone in the greater montreal area interested.
It works well and is still in use today.

i got this TV for basically free from my friend. when the TV is first turned on, the screen comes up like in the video. when warmed up, it turns into yellow-green-ish hue that's more apparent when i turn on my console. my friend told me that capacitors need to be replaced. where should I start? I've soldered a bit before and replaced some corroded PS1's PSU components, so I can manage with a soldering iron.
