You bet. Took me a while to find them, but I added some pics of it at 80 inches; showing off the scanlines :p It's pretty crap for text; but 2x scaling the Mac OS would look alright. It's perfect for video. We've projected onto rocks while doing an overnight backpack once filled with a lot...

The lumen rating is 75; which is probably why they sold poorly. But its 75 lumens from a laser; so the apparent brightness is way greater. Not incredible, but on par with most pico projectors. At 5 inches, it's usably bright in the day. In full darkness, I project to about 120 inches on my...

Awesome project! I'm glad I could inspire you to get it out on the workbench again.

I figure I could put a door that you open and it moves the mirror; so you can project it onto the wall instead. I'd hate to use a projector and then limit it to 5 inches permanently :P

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5532530 Published the STLs of the case. So sad that there isn't more standardization in the TVs. After I finish this and repairing my Mac Plus, I really want to work on making a rear projection screen for my raster scanning laser projector that has the CRT...

Check my Mac Minus thread to see what the heck this is about, but I finally published the main components of the V2 case: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5532530

Its the Insta360 One R, with the 1 inch sensor on it in that pic.

Retro, keyboard is already here :P

Can I switch some components around to make one of these work in my Mac Plus? The left is an 800k FDD MFD-51W-03, and the right is my original drive, which I replaced the ejector gear on, before the shield popped off the read head. It tries to read the floppy for a bit, then it ejects it. I...

Screen looks good on something that isn't the pi 4.

That's the exact one I ordered! Even before the Mac Minus project, I was curious about that thing. And converting it to a curly usb-c cable?— we're literally on the same wavelength. I bought a mini wireless mouse. Might swap it for a wired one after I figure out the case, but wireless was...

Definitely an improvement over V1: Found a good mini keyboard as well. I considered a 40% mechanical, but I don't want to go down that rabbit hole yet. I can just paint this little guy. Hopefully once I gut the mouse, I can make it smaller; I'll have to see how big it really is when it...

With no truly flat edges, my measurements were never perfect, so it took a bit of trial and error. To finally get it, I took a photo of the front, straightened it in photoshop, then traced the curves in CAD. From there, all that’s needed is the front curve. I measured a delta of 5-6mm from the...

The "frame" isn't working exactly due to the crappy implosion band on this set. I don't even think it technically counts as an implosion band, it's worse protection than my DIY band on the first board based on its location. It warps when putting pressure on the glass, so my original...

I'll probably end up putting the pi underneath the analog board; where the batteries would be in the original case. The problem with the board on the side is that it just doesn't work with the shape of the Mac Plus. I would have to change the bezel size and compromise how much it looks like a...

I printed something functional ONCE in PLA and it immediately warped. I only print PETG now, except the occasional wood-filled PLA. I think I should be okay, I've got some fans that I will put in this and the case is more open with more vent holes that the original COBY TV case. I really...

The fitment is gonna be so much nicer on that front glass : )

2 and a bit more hours to go for the front. Hot off the XYZ press. Somehow it printed way better than v1 in terms of support removal. I can't wait to glue the front CRT frame to the fascia tomorrow, I want to see how tight that screen gap can get. USB-C female fits in the RJ-9...

Thanks SE40! Your Takky Mac project is a true inspiration.

Okay, I finally got a decent internal skeleton. My idea is to make it so you can print ore laser cut a base plate that interface with this and your own analog board. I started printing the front of the case because it's what actually will sandwich the glass in place; it's floppy in this...
