Most of those NEC Multisyncs will run at least basic VGA resolution with a 9 to 15 adaptor or cable. I used to pick them up for $5 each as only good for parts, and spend $10 on a cable, and sell them for $80-100 each. That Sharp 10" 3 in 1 tube is the same as in the Philips KA910/920 portables that were also made by sharp. They used to get dropped all the time and the tubes broken. You could sell those sets second hand for a couple of hundred back in the day, since something like that crappy Masuda 10" 12V cost about $600 new. I would keep the Sharp and drop the Masuda off a cliff.
Amazing finds mate. Didn't think you could find stuff like that in Gippsland these days. The sig gen will be for some kind of monitor calibration setup and I'm really interested in finding more out about this telecom Sinclair devices.
shame the cords were cut on the telecom computers. From what i have gathered, the monitor for these computers contains the actual power supply for the computer itself, so that adds extra difficulty into the equation. I got an amstrad computer that was similar but managed to get the monitor for it as well. The amstrad monitor has 3 leads coming out of it, 1. the main power lead that goes into the power point, 2. a video signal lead that goes to the computer , 3. another power lead that goes to the computer to power it.
nice find on those arcade chassis! awesome pickups as usual. that signal generator is awesome - i've followed you on twitter. keen to see you post there, i browse it every day!
Shame about the Sharp at 0:20. I have the same model! It might be worth pulling the CRT and chassis for another project. Also recall the little 10' portable at 9:15 was sold here in the UK as the 'Nikkai Baby 10', though there were other OEM iterations available with A/V etc, mostly from the catalogue brands. I believe it uses an Onwa chassis (see Michael Dranfield's video for more info).
@@rgbrob It's a Sharp branded tube, but it has a 'Black Stripe' badge on it, so perhaps a rebadged Toshiba CRT (or perhaps using 'Black Stripe' technology).
