Doom on 1983 Sinclair FTV1 TV80 Mini Flat CRT & Teardown 

yeah. I was so fascinated that this thing was working at the end. I am not a HF expert and it took me a while to adjust the modulator. 😅

@@CPUGalaxy and, as you’ve mentioned: you’ve been at it for a whole day. So you’ve been exercising your hobby for a whole day! How useful is that, right? 💪😉 Awesome video btw!

😂👍🏻

I know how it was, the living room TV was a no go area for the home computer or the NES, later I was allowed to use it, it was like winning something.

@@connectorxp when my family finally gave me a home tv to use with my commodore 64, this was the same one we had seen the 1978 soccer world cup with !!. (philco b / w 14´) :) (1988)

@@diegocesar316 I used a black and white TV before my parents "cascaded" the old color TV in the bedroom, and got a fancy new one in the living room. On one Christmas holyday I was allowed to play on it :) And now, my young one, asked me when the commercials or DLCs are coming to the Super Mario Bros on the NES... I was in between crying or getting angry.

@@connectorxp it's funny how, nowadays, 80s home computer collectors want "image purity" and "4k-like" image qualities on computers from that era ... when not even the creators of them expected them to be seen with a quality more than "mediocre". which is how we qualify the image of that time today.

@@diegocesar316 I see them using those upscalers and other expensive gadgets. For HD Gameplay I use a moded NES and SNES Classic mini, but they lack the authenticity of running the original via analog connection with all the imperfections that entails.

Thank you!

😅

thanks for the clarification

👍🏻

Yes System I used a 5.5MHz sound carrier, while B, G and K used sound carriers of 4, 4.5 and 5MHz for the sound carrier offset, so it was common to have a TV set where if you selected the wrong sound system you got either good video and no or poor sound, or great sound and garbled video. then you had colour carriers, which added extra condfusion, as SECAM and PAL used the exact same offsets, but slightly different colour carriers and offsets. Then that hybrid MESECAM, using 50Hz 625 line SECAM channel specifications, and 60Hz 525 line video. Likely the modulator was for BG, but Sinclair generally was I, so you either had to solder in new sound carrier filters for use in other parts of the world, or use them for video only. Still have a JVC colour CRT TV set, that was adjustable for all TV systems, B, G, I, and which had a battery operate mode, along with a small Colour CRT. Worked last time I had it on a few years ago.

@@SeanBZA PAL BG sound carrier (mainland Europe) is 5.5Mc from video carrier, in the UK it is 4.5Mc.

@@hopje01 Been a long time since I did any conversions on TV sets though. Do remember robbing the filters out of dead sets to do that though, as it was easier to get them that way, and dead TV sets were easy to get as well. Did do some tuner conversions, where you replaced the horrid tray of drift pots with a 4 way switch and 4 10 turn trimmers, as there were only 3 TV stations and a VCR around most commonly. Sony and the GCS conversion kits, where pretty much it was a BU208D, a heatsink for it, with a lot of resistors, diodes and capacitors, plus a poor copy of a board layout per set, which showed you where to put the assorted bodges in. Strangely enough they did work most of the time.

yeah, i have a FD10 and ofcourse I planned another video with that model. 😉

😅👍🏻

Sounds good. need to check that. 🙂👍🏻

Regular dos doom like is 320x200 & it doesn't look very stretched to me, so I'd assume it's regular 4:3 but hard to say.

thanks 😊

I saw a sony tube that has the gun on the botton, but the phosphor was curved, it was used on the sony wathcman

yeah, i have this here as well. maybe for the next doom session 😅

@@CPUGalaxy More DOOM the better

@@CPUGalaxy ......i made 1 of these into a pipe.... it was part of a zenith portable tv that eventually became a portable speaker/usb battery bank before they really were a thing

Thank you! lol, I am using a 10€ cheap Lavalier Microphone. Connected trough some adapters to my Iphone. I record all videos with an Iphone XS Max. But I ordered already a wireless Mic to make my life a bit easier. The Saramonic Blink500 B4. Lets see how this will work...

💪🏼😅

what about tcp port 666?

@@fadate7292 , thanks for the information. A very nice single board computer indeed.

so this is definitely a CRT. We have an electron gun, we have grids for focus, we have deflection of the beam, we have anode voltage, we have a Phosphor coating on the screen... All this is the definition of a Cathode Ray Tube. Just a bit in another form factor. DLP is a completely different technology.

На канале sinc lair не так давно было видео про данный tv

@@acorpirk хорошо

@@acorpirk заметил что ты любишь тоже ретро.

sure 🙃
