    Blurry iMac G3 CRT

    Hello, I recently acquired a tray loading Rev. C iMac G3, and it works perfectly fine, but the CRT is a little blurry, especially when I turn up the brightness/contrast in software. I adjusted the physical monitor/focus knobs on the CRT itself and it didn’t help at all. I’m not all that familiar...

    Restoring SE/30 - Melted/damaged CRT power and CRT residue

    Hi all! I am working on restoring my first classic Mac, an SE/30. I've started to dive in and have ordered capacitors and such, cleaned it, taken out the PRAM battery, et cetera. I powered it up after giving it a good cleaning and got a relatively dim vertical line. Page 162 of Dead Mac Scrolls...

    Monitor Sad Shipping Story

    Well, I'm sure you all can see where this is headed. Was very excited to get a reasonably priced M0401 High-Resolution RGB CRT from ebay, and... The seller didn't use bubble wrap at all. Just cardboard inserts. If they had used both, it would have been perfect, but with just the cardboard the...

    Macintosh Plus Display vertically compressed

    Hello! I've been working on my Mac Plus for a month and I got this issue out of nowhere. (The diagonal lines are from the camera) As you can see, the display is very compressed vertically, strange display resolution. I tried adjusting the height potentiometer, but it's maxed out, if i turn it...

    Radius Full Page Display connector

    Anyone know which Radius FPD would use this connector? Picking up this Mac SE today, but unfortunately the owner doesn't have the display to go with it. Most of the FPDs I've seen have a connector with 9 pins, I believe. This 15 pin connector is different. Did they have a 15 pin to 9 pin...

    Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

    So, I was thinking about the advances in television and monitors. For the CRTs, I tended to own Sony Trinitrons. Those were amazing! Does anyone still own a Sony Trinitron CRT today? Is it a television or monitor? If, not what is your memory about the one you had? Does anyone know of CRT...

    Macintosh TV CRT replacement

    I recently picked up a non-working Macintosh TV that is not in the best shape. I'm hoping a good cleaning will restore the black plastic to a respectable condition. However, the CRT has a scratch on it, and I'm wondering if the 14" Trinitron is shared with other LC / Performa models. I have...

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Hello! :) I tried to find if there was a thread already here on Tinker Different about this but have not. Some people did talk about it elsewhere, though. So, here I go. I understand that many like to keep the Compact Macs the way it was back in the day. On the other hand, I want to give them...

    G3 AiO CRT Issues

    I recently picked up a G3 All In One which seems to be in fairly decent condition. It boots and chimes, but has some weird display issues. The display area is off center maybe about an inch to the right. I've seen similar issues with eMacs and iMac G3s, but the solution seems to be different...
