Long form video involving a CRT, reminds me of some guy with a digital basement! 😜 . That sand makes me think the TV made a visit to the beach to catch some sun. A nice mix of hardware, troubleshooting & crackles!

I wish I could do this to my rca tv. Im getting a bunch of static playing sega games. It come in clear at first. Then gets worse. Loved this video. Nice work

Steel wool on a socket is a great technique for cleaning those crusty RCA jacks. I never thought of that, thanks!

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InseDkyChz4&t=925">15:25</a> It is nice to see you exercising caution with the "one hand behind the back" reflection in the tube. A great safety tip to pass on to anybody working on high-voltage open-chassis equipment, <i>always</i> put one hand behind your back so that you don't complete the circuit across your chest 😉. Great video and great restoration 😎👍
