All of my CRTs I currently own. All of these CRTs were accumulating since 2021 and now I have 8 of them. Half of these CRTs were free, while the other half was $65 total. All get used, the most used being the monitor and 5 of the TVs.

All CRT models: Bentley 100C, Sony Watchman FD-C290, Emerson EWF2006, GoldStar 1465 (my only CRT monitor at the moment), General Electric 26GC403, Realistic 16-111, Claybrooke 11-in-1 CD/TV companion (couldn't find the model number), GPX TVWB534SP.

For any info or questions on the backstories, feel free to answer!

So I have this dvd player hooked up to my crt and it plays DVDs just fine, but when I burn a dvd rw it can’t play the video. It opens fine and it can detect the formats but it can’t play it!

I started teaching myself CRT repair at 14 when i soldered the cracked chassis board in my main 27 inch back together after it got dropped and broken almost entirely in half, (screen looks a lil weird in the first photo cause i was rewinding austin powers) but it works wonderfully and it opened me up to working on friends stuff, you can see an opened rca 13inch sitting on my desk that my friend got from his grandpa's old workshop with a popped fuse and no power, still waiting on the slow blow fuse from china for the past 4 months but im hoping it just caught a power surge and blew due to being plugged in a basement workshop unchecked for years (i tested the power cord with my multimeter and it works) currently 15M

Kinda neat. The TV was already broken so I decided to take it apart to see what's inside

You guys should see my discman collection! I’m so excited about these though I just got the red one for 30 dollars, all the other ones I spent 1 dollar each but the all black one I spent 5

I recently got this akai boombox from my grandpa, he gave it to me since he didnt really used it in the last 15 years so it basically looks brand new except for the cd cover that doesnt want to stay closed

More coming soon.

There’s this huge warehouse being demolished and I was able to save this laptop and iMac, also didn’t show it but go some floppy discs, crt remotes (for my crts that didn’t have any), iPod dock, iPod cord! However I may sell the iMac on marketplace due to me likely not being abl to enioy it as much as someone else :). Sorry if I sound super tired in this, it’s because I am

found this transistor auto-scan radio from the 90s, what's the last time you've seen one?

I picked up some vintage audio equipment at various local thrift stores earlier today! My favorite has to be the wood grain 1970's JCPenney AM/FM radio (First picture)

It made 30 years in this month

So, i got this car for a 100€, and now that i have finished one other project, i can finally start restoring this soviet peice of 💩, which i will probably daily when i turn 18.

This is a dell inspiron 1501, I love how it looks and feels and I would like to have a modern laptop that looks like this and has all the ports! The ports are Ethernet, 4 USB A ports, vga out (would prefer hdmi but vga is fine), mic in and line out and a optical drive. I also like replaceable ram and battery!
