what should they look for when they're hiring people? Well, number one, you gotta realize that the typical interview questions out there are like, they're all well-known and most people, to put it bluntly, are, you know, what do you do when you're going through a year?   It's like, you know, you always say when you're on a date with someone, you don't really know the person you date until three months because for the first three months they send their representative. It's like their best self. And then only, you wait, I can't believe it.  So there are questions and what we do, especially, so there's two sides. Number one, there's psychometric testing that's actually my own proprietary test based on what I've seen over the years. This was something I created in conjunction with psychologists and it's really intense. So it's 30 ways to ask the same questions to get to the truth of it. And then based on that, you see what certain competencies are that predispositions, for example, someone might not be great for cold calling, but there'll be a world-class closer. There'll be the guy that you want to close. Other people might not be great at closing, but they're amazing at managing the long-term relationship, which is equally important for lifetime value of a customer. Some people are meant to just be more in face-to-face sales, others out there. So you gotta know, all salesmen aren't built alike. So this really sifts through all those people and then through behavioral interviewing, you can really narrow that down even further. And then once you have those people, and here's these two other parts, the number one is onboarding. So the biggest danger point for any salesperson is the first 30 days. They have to show up already trained.  First year attrition of a salesperson is the death knell of every sales force. If you can get a salesperson trained onboarding correctly and they don't leave that first year, you are literally at the top of the heap when it comes to sales, bottom line. The issue that I see even with really successful companies, for example, I do a lot of work in logistics and pharmaceuticals in auto, they will have 60 plus percent attrition rates and they're still making a fortune. That's how insane it is. I had a company that had an 85% attrition rate. They were hiring 300 salesmen a year and blowing through 85% of them before I got involved. All right, and they were a billion dollar company. So just imagine the impact it has on a company's bottom line where you can choose who are the right people to actually hire, be make sure they're trained to a razor's edge on your industry-specific items before they show up, onboard them correctly and then also coach them. We also coach them afterwards, free of charge for a period of two years to make sure they perform. So to me, that's a formula for success. Of course skill set, that's part of the training, but you got to get the right person as well. Yeah, I mean, when you talk through like finding the right people, siphon through and you and your team, when you do, how do you end up identifying the right person? Do you use like a disc assessment assessments? Is there a certain? No, this doesn't work. I found that this doesn't work. I think it's mostly, no offense, I just think that my system, my test is proprietary just for sales. So if you're looking to hire psychologists or office workers, don't use my, what I do. I specialize in wanting to do better than anyone in the world. That is, I know sales people. I know how they tick and I think he is unpacking it into a scientifically proven formula of how you spot out. There's just a predisposition to succeed. Does not mean they're going to succeed. They need to be trained, they need to be onboarded correctly. And it's that at first year in the life of a sales person, the reason that's so important is because of the way the belief systems work. Success to get success. When someone goes into sales and they fail in the beginning, they start to develop limited beliefs about themselves, their capabilities, and it becomes a self-defeating cycle here. So it's critical that the first experience that someone has in sales is a good one. Now, granted, there's many people and many of my, my living people who were failing and making them succeed. But if I'm talking just from the company perspective and an experience at a company, the key is is you want them starting off on the right foot. So to me, the worst thing a company could do is to put people out there in the field or on the phone who are not ready. You don't know what they're doing.   And two, you find people who could have succeeded with the right training and the right, they've had the skill sets to close and knew the product well enough, yet you self-sabotage because they start off on the wrong foot, they never get going and that spreads throughout the sales force. And that's why you have so many subpar sales forces out there. So it's, you know, it's not like it's just finding the right person. It's finding the right person, making sure they train correctly, onboarding correctly and that's especially that year one attrition is the crucial part for anyone who owns a company. And also for you, the sales person yourself, because the bottom line is, is how you perform in the beginning is going to set the stage for a cycle of belief building that compels you to being a top producer. Absolutely. I totally agree with everything you're saying from a confidence standpoint, you can just totally crush it. You know, I love that. I love that. That's really good. Well, when you look, when, when, when we, I want to jump to the straight line for a second. For those that don't know maybe what that is or what that means, can you break that down and explain that for a quick second? Sure. So the straight line, that's the actual sales training aspect to what I do. And I think it's probably the most well-known system in the world. It's been, you know, obviously I'm gonna have the benefit of a movie where Leo DiCaprio is with my logo straight line in the background sell me this pen, right? But what the straight line really is, it's a backwards way of looking at selling.  What do I do here? I got to close this question. It's imagine a person that bought. What would they have to hear? What things would they need to know? What would they want to see before they said yes? So you say, what elements have to line up in another person's mind to get them to say yes? And when you have experience that you'll quickly find out there were just a few things, it's not a million things. There are three things, court elements that must line up in every person's mind before they buy a product. And then there are a couple of ancillary things as well for the tougher closes. So that's one part is what are these five court elements that must line up? What are the things you have to say to essentially get them to line up? So the straight line essentially imagine it's the shortest distance to two points is a straight line, right? So the philosophy is that at the beginning of the open at the end you have the close and the straight line represents the perfect conversation. Imagine like an objectionless close when a person was a lay down.  As a salesperson, if you knock on enough doors or make enough calls, eventually you're gonna find people just, oh yeah, great, oh my God, they're almost free sold to the easiest closes all. So that represents that perfect straight line sale and objectionless close where the prospect agreed with everything you say. And the only problem is that those are few and far between. In the real world of sales, people have objections.  So you use the sales and wanna keep them on the straight line. They want to go off the straight line. So what we have is this methodology that gives you boundaries above and below the line. How far the conversation can stray off of perfection before you lose control of the sale and start spiraling off to what I call to Pluto where you're talking about the price of tea in China or things that have no relation to the sale or down here to your anus, not a good place for salespeople to be. The point is, is that what I realized there was this magic moment I had when I couldn't get my guys, this is 30 years ago, right? When I was trying to train my first 12 salespeople and I was already teaching an amazing system. It did nothing, but I was a great sales trainer even then, but I had switched from selling average moms and pops to the richest 1% of Americans. And the sale was infinitely hard. So it was a really tough sale. So the system I was teaching the old one, yeah, it was good enough to close average moms and pops, but take the same type of sale to super rich. Uh-uh, the system broke down and collapsed. So I had to invent a new way of training salespeople because here's what was happening. I was calling the same, and I was closing 50% of the people I spoke to. My junior partner, Danny, was calling these people. He was closing 30%. Yet my 12 average kids who had barely clawed their way to high school, they were closing zero. Same leaves, same script, same phone calls, selling the same product. I'm closing half, they're closing zero. I couldn't understand it. And that went on for a month. And I finally cracked the code in this one evening and I realized what it was was something very elemental. It was really simple actually. What it was, it's easy to learn is that I had a certain way of talking. A certain way of looking, a certain way of the energy I exuded, that literally from the first few seconds of the conversation, when I get on the phone with the prospect or face to face, they would perceive me in a certain way.  They'd say, wow, this is not the average bear, not the average guy. And they'd say, this is an expert and they would defer to me. They would let me control the flow of the encounter. Because what we do, we've been conditioned since we were yay big to defer to experts. We let experts guide us. We seek out experts to solve all problems. So by getting yourself into that position where you're perceived, sharp, enthusiastic, an expert in your field, people defer to you and once they do, they essentially hand you control the sale, well guess what? Now you can start lining up the elements in the same way every time. So I had this philosophy, I said to my guys, guys, don't you get it? Every sale is the same. And they were like, what? Like how could every sale be the same? And my guys, every sale is the same. To me, because I was taking control, I can move it down the same path every time. Yes, people have different needs, different values, different pain points. They say different things, but the same core elements must line up in a prospect's mind before they say yes. And with the straight line system, once you're in control, you can then line those elements up in the same order every time. It's almost like picking the lock of a safe. The way you crack, a safe crack, a crack's a safe. He puts his ear, spins it one way, click, and he has a number. Does he try to open the safe? No, he knows there's more numbers. He spins it the other way. He has the second click. Spins it the third way. He has the third click, and then he tests it. That's when you ask for the order. If he got all three numbers right, the safe opens. If it does, it'll want to do, oh damn, it's uncrackable, no. He goes back to the beginning and he tries the three numbers again. So with the straight line, with a very similar tactic we call looping, we loop back and try again. And every time you essentially run these patterns, you're cracking these numbers of his buying combination. You ask for the order is essentially seeing if the safe will open, and when it opens, victory. That's the shortest way to explain it. And it's so simple to learn that when I teach it to companies at the people, like they have these 30 or 40% uptick in close rate in a matter of days. That's just in days, and much more effort. It's a very simple system. And the reason it's simple is because it had to be, because my guys were basically morons. They were not NASA scientists. They were kids that barely graduated high school. They came from poor families. They could barely walk and shoot them at the same times. And the movie was very accurate.   Bottom line. Hey, you're making some big money, right? Your wallet's getting all fat. You're getting excited when you go to the bank. What are you gonna do now, right? You need to know some tax strategies. I got the video for you. Click on that with my buddy, JD Frost, and I'll see you there. An individual tax return has a one in a hundred chance of being pulled per audit. If you make over a million dollars, you have a one in ten chance.

So sorry about that break there for a second But there will be Um Jvc, of course, it's acceptable. It's great, right Okay, so back to this multicon. I will be there. You can get a crt and heck you could even be like me I'm going to be nuts and try to get these wrestlers all to sign crts for me or danie trejo But man that that's going to be like so much It's going to cost so much money if I get every one of these guys to sign it, right? That's like 60 a piece. I think well, it'll cost me like 500 bucks to get them all to sign it but If you want to come to this convention, look, it's not that expensive of a convention to go to I mean you could get the their complete package VIP is 175 for the weekend, but even if you just do Three day adult ticket the whole weekend. This is a friday saturday sunday event It's only 70 bucks and Then even you can even pre-op for these danie trejo stuff. That's pretty interesting. I never saw that And some of these other guys you can pre buy Their packages to buy something. I never knew that. Okay, but okay So you're in that amount and then the hotels. I mean this is like the nicest hotel, but it's it's in levinon This is the area So these rooms I checked them out there at like 160, right? I don't know. That's a cheap.

Yeah, he's still chewing on his bed So I've gone through that class before where I do uh the inside look at the inside of a crt And show how they work. It's like the magic of a crt And uh, so that will be done again. It's actually going to be mixed up a little bit Plus, I'm gonna have a booth right out by all the crts where you can come by and say hello And you can buy like I said, there's going to be like five crts. Oh, hey, what are you parking at?  I'll talk about it more But that's what's going to happen. Thanks again, s and k nostalgia for the two-dollar super chat neo geo is like, hey Quit barking at that. What are you barking at? Stop it? What are you barking at knock it off? Okay, that's enough Boy this dog. I tell you. All right. Let's get into this thing We are 12 minutes in you know, that's like perfect timing, right? I felt kind of bad because I realized after I put the announcement for my stream that Bob was running a stream at the same time over retro rgb and I was like, oh great. We're going to overlap audiences and so Anyway, I want to thank everybody for Coming into this stream and for hanging out with bob on his stream and heck you get a browser's open to both of them Both of them on at the same time And help us both out that would be cool too. So anyway, here we are we're looking at the jbc Now first off, which model we have here? Which model do we have going on? Let me clear up some dashboards and we'll pull up We'll pull up some documentation. So first off this is the two zero d 303 which is the one I have highlighted right here and I found this user's guide For this tv online very easily by Just googling this now this unfortunately has no information about the service menu and it only really talks about You know setting this thing up. It's basically the owner's guide, but it's a very in-depth owner's guide And it'll show you things Like let's see here. This is a good look at Since I probably won't be able to show you what the back panel looks like too easily This is one here. This is what the input panel on this crt looks like. Let me find that Well, it's not letting me zoom in very much. So if you look right here in the screen Oh, there it is. Sorry. There we go. Okay, so this is our Two zero three or two zero d three o three model You got s video on input one as well as this would be um Just composite video and then left and right audio Stereo and then you could do audio out. I don't see a video out on this which is interesting Right, just video audio out no video out so you could hook up a stereo receiver and just feed the audio to it You've got component video in here that also could be a Composite video input and then you've got Or you've got component video for those three stereo audio s video and then of course um, you've got this vh f u h f rf input And then you've got all of them have this flap down door right here with an additional third input on there and that's just a composite and stereo audio composite video input with a headphone jack right there and that's all you get for your menu Channel button plus or minus like over here and show you what that looks like from this point of view You can see all that right down here. Okay It's all right here just menu blah blah blah. There's the little front door. This one does still have this and Yeah, this video is great. Thank you s and k nostalgia. This video is fire. Oh my gosh Cole's on Cole's on fire. Goodness gracious. He is fired up today He's come down here with so many toys already And he just found like a mermaid. He wants to tear up now So we'll keep an eye on him because he's barking at stuff. It's trying to be a disruption Really today's to today's show. So if you get in here And that's just enough to get your, you know taste buds started I did find a service manual But this is not for the 20 inch listed specifically But it is for the 27 inch So I was hoping that the instructions down here on I believe it's page 15 Yes, so this is a guide on page 15 on how to enter service mode Service menu. Okay. So hopefully we can do this and get into the service menu And check it out There's some things we can adjust in here specifically. We want to look at the deflection settings right there Number two. So we'll mess around with the deflection settings If that pulls it up, but really before I even do that, let's just take a quick look at this thing And I'm gonna let my camera sit here for a second. Sometimes when I switch over He clutches out and so You know that happens, okay So that's kind of the way we're going to get in here. We're going to first look at this thing. So this is All right, folks. This is the big big announcement right here where This is the point where I'll insert The thing or the time stamp and we're going to get started on today's main topic, which again is the JVC D series. It's a 20 inch D 303 that is the model an ntsc television And it's one of JVC's best consumer grade crt TVs Well, the line of the D series is considered one of the best And most desirable for a consumer crt set. And so we're going to look at this today. We're going to take a look at it Internally first and then we're going to go through and try to do some service menu adjustments And so again, if you come in here and you just joined me right now Please do me a favor and hit the like button Everybody every time you hit that like button it does translate to about 10 new views for the show And that's all I really asked for it. It helps out a lot. Of course I love super chats and you know conversations going on But really that's all that I asked for is just if you could hit the like button for me And then we'll get started over here. So I want to show you some characteristics of this tube that I've found interesting Over the years of using this because I've actually had this set For probably two years now. I've used it quite a bit and I'll be honest After a while I do Kind of like to move these crt's on and you know, this is one I hope that somebody else can go and see and use An experience on their own And then I can move on to these other crt's like I said last week the ones I found in the trash I had to actually go move those into storage so that I could make more space And my storage unit is stuffed All right, so as we're looking at this thing we're gonna Again, I'm going to show you some characteristics by going into The 240p test suite to start And the the inputs I'm using I'm actually using Component video again and and today I've got hd retrovision cables, which is just awesome Everybody knows that right as the canister. So thank you. You resurrected your turbo duo. Good job. Those are tough They have a lot of smd components and can tear traces. So good. Hey snuffer stuffer. Good to see you here Thank you winston. I appreciate that cell tour welcome in Uh, we're going to get in here and we're going to open it up. We're going to see what's inside That's never been opened. So we need to see what the condition is internally But right now I want to show you just a couple of features because this tube Is interesting now the thing that you really have to love about a Jvc and even this d-series is it's it's got a real like fish eye bubble eye style of a tube Meaning that it really is curving on every edge and the corners in here You can see the shadow how it curves way down in that corner And so it gives again this bubble eye almost like an eyeball lens effect Uh, but this particular model just looks crazy on the geometry and I'm about to show you why Let me uh Pull up our 240p test suite And if we look here I'm gonna move I'm gonna try to pull the prick the brightness on the tv down a little bit So that we can just get a better View of it There we go So if we bring the brightness down There we go We can get a little bit better of a view there and then i'm gonna remove i'm gonna move this Ring light i'm gonna turn it off for a second actually All right, that's a little better and let me turn finally i'll set this camera Oh I'm sorry don't glitch out on us too bad. All right cancel We'll just forget about the camera doing anything on it right now But you can kind of see how it's really bubbled in here But what that does is that we do have some weird wonkiness Going on on this edge and if you know anything about these tv's A lot of them incorporated something called like a velocity modulation or an edge Correction that really makes the edges look crazy in 240p And uh, so it gets these wonky things on the side that are really hard edges And we're going to try to see if that's even possible to get rid of that if if if it's present There's also known to be red pushes on this so we'll see if we can Dial this in basically after checking out the insides, but To get you a better idea of How This looks will pull this up and it looks pretty darn good like from this Angle let me remove that muting Just turn it all the way down. It doesn't matter. We don't need any volume But it really has that bubble too And I like I mean personally if you like a bubble tube, this is great, right? So, uh, we definitely have some convergence issues Up in here. There's some separation And that's really indicative of almost every corner. This one's really clean Uh, but the rest kind of need a convergence adjustment possibly And let's see if we've So it's hard to me to just show you that let's see how the linearity looks It's not too bad Okay No, this is not a perfect To because if we go in here, I know if I do the Where's the scroll test? Generally if I do this There's a wonkiness that shows up in this screen sometimes well I don't appear to be seeing it. So maybe it's not there Hey retro gamer retro game. Let me make sure I get your whole name in here Retro game god. Thank you for the $2 super 199 super chat a fu Jiu jiu crt to sony to make it sony If it says sony inside there could there are plenty of times where sony did have Agreements to make other crt's With other companies. So there's possibility if it says sony on the crt, then yes to sony I send canis to alga. Thank you plasma white hd like all right, so Thank you. Thank you for the super chats everybody Anyway, the scrolling on this issue isn't great edge geometry isn't great But that's pretty much standard for the majority of these tubes for this time And you can't get hung up on that stuff too much Because if you want that you have to kind of go up to that next level which would be Going up to the pvm on this size platform. Okay so Let's uh I don't think there's really much else to show you in here for now Because we'll get in this afterwards if we get that open Um, you know It's definitely got some imperfections in it right but again, this is a consumer set And at this point you're really gonna Yeah, really you're gonna get a barrel roll That you notice on these things sometimes So All right Let's do it. Let's do it. I'm gonna fire up the uh light again, and then we're going to Open up the jvc There we go We think Cole think it's gonna be a good one All right So I do again. You have to have the remote really to make any kind of adjustments on this one. It's uh, it's a necessity and It's one of the things i'm doing. I've actually ordered replacement remotes for every single one of the CRTs i'm bringing To the show i'm gonna have uh remotes for every single one of them So i'll set that aside because you really do with the consumer set To get the most out of them you really do need Generally, uh the remote control You need that remote, right? All right, let's see Cole's back hanging out chewing on stuff everybody go in the chat. Oh, thanks again, s and k nostalgia cobra arcade In phoenix on vacation All right Thank you everybody. Let's get back here and back to work. Whoops right here So we should be able to just roll this around Unplug it so i've got the power power cable Unplugged and i'm sorry for the grainy view, right? Let me see if I pull this over I may be able to go dashboard view Or come a little closer Come a little bit closer Let's see. We got the facial view where I can zoom this out So The thing is this is a super thick CRT look at that That'll give you a good idea. It's like an arm lengths thickness just for 20 inch. It's a pretty darn long tube. Okay And uh, I've got This is only the 20 inch here Here's those ht retrovision cables. Just awesome stuff there Let's put that out of the way, Mitch. We're gonna run over it with my chair or my wheels What are you guys talking about? Oh, man, sometimes I lose track of the stream and then I wonder if everybody's Gooping on me It does look bigger from behind right? It looks massive from behind It's actually cool because this if you're used to picking up like 20 Inch pvms and you grab this one. It actually feels way lighter, but it looks huge. It's so much plastic But we've got to get these screws out and uh Doing zod's work you are doing zod's work god's work. I think you meant thank you s and k nostalgia So this one thankfully has just Again Oh, yeah Here we go. This is a screwdriver So we're just going in this is thankfully just phillips head screws, right? So it's not like uh any other crazy security bolts, which I did have to deal with recently on a phillips crt Phillips So i'll give you some stats on this If you're interested i'll read them right off the back of the tube label It says this is 120 volts 60 hertz Again 20 inch display 75 watts it actually says 20 inches on the back believe it or not The chassis is a 109 which goodness gracious that may not match our uh Our chassis on this guide. I actually this is this is sad. I hope that's not the case Let me let me see if this looks any better Okay So this is where we're at right here. Let me get a little more light and uh That's this label. It's just a paper label November of 2002 So we're coming up on the 21 birthday 21st year of existence for this thing And I don't believe it's ever been opened That could be wrong, but it has a feeling look of one that has never been opened now look, uh There is someone I have to thank I have to thank romir who actually donated this set to me probably two years ago Um, if you guys yeah, if you guys like this angle, I'll leave it here for a little bit if it doesn't look like too grainy Uh, I try to incorporate more light, but it it's hard. Hey demo Kirby. Thank you very much I appreciate you being here and I appreciate your super chat Says your streams are great and appreciate the smooth jazz. I like the jazz The jazz does cost me a little extra to provide to you. Let me let me uh But it's not much. It's worth it. It's like I think my my deal is something like $15 $16 a month for that which I really take advantage of on these streams now The thing I don't want to be surprised by is the By tilt this forward is there screw Under the plastic No, they're just corner screws great and then the back screw. All right excellent We've got these three out Let's I'm gonna go ahead and get this one down here. I know you probably can't see that too well because it is super dark down here Oh gosh, what are you eating dog? Hope you're not eating a screw pups man Pups pups pups. Okay. There we go. So there you go. That is kind of a cool view Right I like it So I did have a video last weekend or last yeah last weekend saturday But nobody like well half the audience watched it. I'll say It wasn't a big barn burner like the first comparison video two weeks ago It was the watchman episode which did feature this one right here All right Now we just have these on the side to get there's a lot of screws in this pv Most don't have this many so But the um, I gotta say I've really been loving the live streams to everybody I think I want to say thanks again to everybody who comes here. I know a lot of you come here uh Very regularly and hang out Even when I have to change the days up like I said normally these shows are mondays and thursdays But the last couple times like last week we had to do a friday show And then today's tuesday obviously So I mean sometimes you got to go with the flow and I'd rather just bring a show to you Then Just skip it because I skipped the actual date that I you know try again It's a try by the goal is to keep that schedule Oh, this one's this one's jammed Well, it'll pop out. I think there comes the screw All right, so the first thing I need to be concerned about Is not flopping this tv out over onto this ground see Still attached back here Looks like I'm still attached to something Oh, yeah, there's a whole input board back here. Oh my goodness All right The whole input board back here that has a bunch of screws which I didn't realize that were attached So it's pulling the whole chassis with it To do it. Yeah, that's gonna that's gonna be the good spot. Okay Let's see See how we can do this. Can we get this a better angle? Can we come up and maybe shoot down a little bit? Oh, look at that thigh.  What is there you go? I'm making a big sloppy mess of this This thing is filthy. You know, I usually have rules where I don't open these in the house for the first time You know, you want to know why right? Look at that Good grief I mean last time in the stream you saw me eat about half that And I don't want to do that again That's pretty typical of one that's never been opened. That's 21 years of getting cells gross gross gross gross gross It is a furry one. All right All right, look at that amateur hour So this is the chassis. You can see I've just gotten it already pulled out because I had it I already had it uh Attached hey, s and k and salja. Thanks again for the two dollar Super chat get my thigh out of the picture for you Uh, that's for the only fans page later. Just kidding. I don't have any of that Thank you again for another super chat of two dollars. I am here to learn you are here to learn We are here to learn together. Let's learn now. I'm gonna just start unplugging certain things to get them out of the way Because I'm gonna pull this board And then we'll put it on the desktop And and clean it out a little bit and uh, take a closer look at it. So there's a plug right here And you don't have to worry about discharging it yet to unplug any of these things. Okay So we're gonna unplug that that's simply the speakers One leads over here to this speaker and one leads over to the right speaker And that's it What else do we have plugged in right here? We have a degausing cable Okay, and it shouldn't really matter which way you put that back in or take it out And that Right there is uh Needs to be unplugged The next thing we're gonna we're gonna pull the neck forward with this So there's really oh see that dust already get in my face You know, that's a good question. Let's see what type of tube this is now. This is uh, actually a jbc labeled tube We'll get a closer look at this tube in a second. I'll pull it in nice um This is an ntsc set everybody. So it is a north american set The model number again is the jbcd 303 20 inch variety And we'll take a closer look at this board and that as soon as we get it out Now another thing we're gonna unplug is this yoke Because the yoke stays with the tube So the yoke gets disconnected. Okay And also there's a ground point That goes to the neck board and it's soldered into the neck board and In order to get it out you have to just disconnect it from this ground loop right here And it's got this bendable clip That's just attached to the main ground strap behind the tube And just bend that out of the way and that's how you get that ground Cable out of the way right there And That looks like everything everything Because we're gonna Watch this. I'll show you. You don't even have to discharge this to Uh, let me let me pull this sideways. I'll get you in there closer Well, thanks for joining us. Yes, that's it. It's north american Uh, thank you for joining us from japan awesome So Right, we don't have to discharge it yet, but we're gonna take this neck board off And we're just wiggling it and pulling it back steadily And then it comes free like that And see all that could be kept together And everything is ready for this chassis to be pulled. You see it's all one big bundle And the only thing we haven't done is discharged it yet. What do you think we had this thing hot? Do you think this You think this uh these series has a Do you think this CRT is gonna have any charge in it? What do you think chat if you think so drop a like button or hit the like button for me drop a like for me. Sorry Just want to see what kind of music we got going see if the mood is right for a discharge Is the mood a right for a discharge? How do I make a poll? I don't know how to do that Fire it up and say Let's see. I don't think it's gonna go I don't think it's I think you're probably right, uh pour my tv It probably does vectrix. I know But we don't know with the tushiba was still the worst and it was from the same time period I don't think it will I don't think it will And our music's not too bad, but let's see how close we could get this I don't yeah, that's a good song right there. Let's see. Let me see if I can get I mean I can it'll probably get a bit grainy Let's see There we go There we go folks tushiba was the tushiba was what we call the firecracker It went Every time I really want to find one of those on my for my own to give to use as a demo Because it would zap every single time and it was you could tell it was gonna zap You would actually hear and feel like electricity as you got near it like Like it was it was like attracting you Towards the hull And getting ready for a zap. All right, let's see. What side's the best side right over here This is probably the spot. I'm not gonna touch it yet. I want to see if I can get it There we go See it right there. That's pretty good Oh You're looking I've felt it it hurt it though. Oh goodness It it definitely zapped.  I might have to keep it and call it the zapparote Whoa Yeah, this was uh This was has been an awesome stream folks. We've made history I don't know that I've ever seen anybody live live stream a zap Oh, man Now if we if I did have if I did have a fancy editor, that would be a great A great meme right there Thank you s.k. DeSanto. That's the plan. Wow. I am energized. I don't know about you We could get a doubles app here. I mean I was taking that for granted Folks It's like snake bite. Yeah once you get snake bitten so many times by that cobra It doesn't really hurt you anymore What do you think we're gonna get a doubles app?  All right Now I'm like nervous as I'll get out Let's see Oh, there was a zap.  I saw it that time. I gotta go back and watch the footage of the first time around because I'm not entirely sure Gotta tell you I didn't uh I didn't know for sure if it would come back and hit it again if it would happen again So that's cool.  Okay Not unless you know what you're doing and you have You have no reason to not do it That was fun I'm pretty pumped I was surprised to see that In the land of pvms, you don't see that very often All right, let's pull this board see what we're working with here I may leave that In place so we may come back and see if there's another zap No, that's crazy. There's a little Clip on the bottom of there Which I do not know I've never seen that before. Look at this I'm not sure what this is. Oh, thanks again. That's the k nostalgia You are grounded. Yeah, thankfully everybody was grounded there. We would have a nightmare All right, let me let me zoom out And restore your vision and as I say before this is a live show everybody we do these things We do these things like this for This is the clip I'm talking about it's obviously meant to go in there But I I don't I didn't notice it the first time and it looks like one of the legs is busted on it It's like both legs were busted on it It's just a little spacer So let's see if col oh look at him. So as we How to rearrange things here? Please folks if you can If you have not already If you have not already, please Hit the like button for us and if you have thank you so much For your contribution it helps immensely.  Or am I dreaming? Maybe not Okay You get the screws out of the way The spacer out of the way Dust is flowing through the air So you know it's a fun day Here we go. All right So You got the top down view here First off Check it out. This is our flyback area obviously And Let's let's just get some sweeping action going so we can get rid of some of this dust See there's a lot of dust built up in here And I'm going to start by just knocking that off loosely with this brush So we can get a better idea as to what we're looking at This is not a gopro. It's literally a like Just cheap 100 camera. I want to replace it. There's a new logitech camera coming out soon It's not out yet or I'd have bought it But it's called like the reach or something But it's a presentation overhead style camera that will be perfect for this work that I'm doing right now I My gopros are okay For some uses I would never use them for streaming Though they're not that dependable. Gosh, it's just caked in some areas I'm gonna take a closer look at some of these parts starting with this flyback transformer once I get it Cleaned off a little bit better Okay, so look a little further here a little further And and let's see if we have a part number or anything we do have a part number right there Does it really say there we go? It's a samsung It's hard to probably read but at the very bottom on that yellow label it says Can you read it? It says samsung first off right there, right where my finger is covering It says samsung. So it's this in-house made No, this is a jvc. So we got a samsung. What am I saying? This is a samsung flyback in the jvc What else have we got in here? Look at some of this logic Can I don't know if you could see that? Uh, let me see if I could get it in closer Thank you s and k nostalgia I miss modifying neo geo consoles and genesis also Yeah Modern consoles is great All right, let's see if I can I can't see it. I can't get it to show but the the writing on here It's toshiba. Maybe you could see it a little bit better. It's actually toshiba chips Both these chips right there too toshiba On this chassis Now if we look at this the cool thing about these boards is if you have an issue with something specifically you can Come in here and I'm sorry about this angling So I want to get that reach camera. It's made specifically to do this So starting for example From this side, which we will brush off and I'll clean off and talk to you about this area is Kind of isolated by these lines all of them are So these are power.  I'm not sure what mts stands for But a lot of these areas on these boards are not even populated. Let me get you in the viewpoint of what I'm talking about here so We go through this Right, that's the cool thing about these old pcb's right power. See there's that power And it even tells you over here that it's isolated power right isolated um You can see if you have a fuse problem. That's pretty easy to visually check, but Let me something to look at Um, well, this is where like our buttons touch for our front screen panel where it just comes in and makes contact with the buttons This is obviously our bc micro bc def micro chip right here. Look at that digital or sorry right there And then like digital comb filter section right there You have a problem with the switching on your av. That's right here with av input The tuner section this whole block right There's all tuning functionality And then we're back around over here To all the deflection area. Okay This is all deflection zone stuff Everything in here looks really good like there's no visible signs that anything needs to be replaced yet And the front inputs right here. Let's see. What does it say right behind that audio? So this is where our audio Is coming is being processed in this section of the board right here. That's pretty tiny audio area And that's pretty much it So this thing is definitely gonna be cleaner Then it was because we all saw how nasty it was coming out Let's take a look at the bottom of the board And I'll try to Pull this back and show you because this is a double. Hey smoke monster. Welcome in. Thanks for coming today another bunker veteran Re bunker actually smoke monster And I had a great I guess you could call it after dark show We had a lot of fun going through some pvms about I don't know four or five months ago That's was a lot of fun. Oh Don't want to put much pressure on this board or Split anything everything looks okay. Like there's no burn marks That's actually a pretty clean board Solder quality still looks mostly fine on here. Hey s and k nostalgia. Thank you again back in the day boards were labeled properly absolutely just like Manuals like this thing would come with a hundred page manual But just like the top side everything's labeled on the bottom You know some of these things definitely have bottom side components Again, here's that mts, which I'm guess is like switch the brains of the outfit down there. That's a that's a sony chip right there that right there teensy weenie guy our gal or chip There we go Right there. That's a sony chip So aside from that I mean this board passes pretty good inspection. We'll take a look at the Neck board here too. This is pretty simple neck board. There are a couple capacitors on this one but got three color transistors right one two three um and Three pairs of resistors actually three three pairs of resistors couple of inductor or an inductor a Cap a diode a cap not a lot in there. Okay Pretty nice looking though solder still looks good on here There we go so again nicely marked If you want to go in here and you know, you have questions about the tube This will actually give you the pin out of the tube, right? You see it says g1 and then green g2 red h1 h2 bk black our blue Not e which I'm not sure what e is so I wouldn't hook up to e I guess I've never seen the e Ronnie Ronnie you just missed this tearing down this cook this s and or this I keep saying s and k because you've been Super chat so much everyone. Thank you. I appreciate it really do but We're tearing down this CRT first off. We're looking at the board now. I'm gonna go in here and try to Clean the dust particles out of this cap and then we'll get some Where's my stuff hang on I've got to get it alcohol white We're gonna uh You can interpret them. I'm not sure what the exact thing is but each number represents A value so you can get you just Literally google it and it'll tell you the the formula and then you just go by the colors on there in the order they are in Uh, and it'll get and you can figure out a value for replacement. Okay if you have if you have a resistor now if the resistors burn up you're gonna have to try to find documentation And you can't tell like what the color is look at that You have to find documentation or look at a Uh a similar CRT or the same CRT just a different one that's not damaged to get the value So I've just got some IPA on an old beach towel and um Rubbing rubbing the rubber Rubbing the rubber Okay, just getting a lot of that nasty built up so it off there work our way back Down here Get a little stroking to the east Be stroking There we go. That looks pretty good It's clean enough for now now I'm going to Make you dizzy with the camera roll And then I'm gonna hit this up a little compressed air if I give it a couple a couple more spots I'm gonna give them May dust off because I haven't hit those spots just yet like I did the others It will blow this thing off And we'll take a look at our Uh tube in a second here There we go Now Let me switch over here and then I'm going to switch this view Around so I don't make you dizzy because I don't want you to see that you're gonna look at this tube now tube Is Again, it's a JVC tube, which I find baffling I just hit that and I was like nervous because it Sticker popped now. I'm gonna be nervous anytime I go near this tube. That's great. All right We're ready to get in here now. Let me uh Get our chassis a little bit out of the board out of the way and we will Let's see if we discharge it again first off Okay If it does anything Ah, thanks for the tip. This is an og llb 90s windbreaker. Thank you smoke monster Oh, it's zapped again Can you believe it? Did you see it? Ah, thanks Joe Joe Joe tomato Look, it's zapped again This thing is an energy hog, isn't it? I would have zapped me if I'd have just gone over there and touched it That's crazy.  Hey G G or G J a Genic J I'm sorry. I don't know how to say that right, but thank you for the dollar 99 super chat Resit you want me to res measure the resistance of the yoke coils. Oh, all right Let's look at this and then you can refresh me on how to do that. I can't remember So I just need to measure the ohms, right the ohms between the two places There we go. Yeah guys, we did have another zap. Isn't that crazy? So I know right? I've got the meter here I turned it into ohms. I think Correct, and then I don't remember the combination um So you can tell me I know you measure the two and the disc the ohms reading between them, right? Basically just to go. Am I getting the reading here? Okay, I'm going to show you my readings here So you can Get your money's worth here. There you go. All right, so You know, I'm not sure. I know that these two are connected the back two Because they're reading 9.4 ohms 9.4 ohms, okay Which is the black And or no, I'm sorry. That's a brown Brown and yellow. I don't know that's vertical or horizontal That's one of them's reading 9.4 Let's see what the other one's reading 9.4 and 3.3 9.4 And 3.3. Okay So there you do there you go. I think I did that right. I'm pretty sure that's right Sorry, you caught me off guard. They're trying to give me a live test Uh-huh No, I think that's how you do it. You just measure that and one's the vertical one's horizontal, right and So there you have it. That's on film I hope that helps I hope that's what you wanted There you go 9.4 is vertical sounds right. Yes Let's see if there's another zap. I mean this thing is zap city It's already given us two three zaps See, I think we're finally out of juice Excuse me Everybody This has been awesome. We just did hey, we just did two things. I've never done on stream before and that's Uh, yeah, I would ronnie you can measure it the yoke connector, but literally that's the same thing as those go up here to these points, you know Uh, sorry, you can't see it there These points there's four points on top. That's where all the wires go so You could go and maybe say there's a little bit more induction in this I guess One foot cable. So yeah Hey Grail, thank you So just dust away a little bit at this this has a big old fat, uh, three Three gun Build out the old shadow mask Technology here at at its finest. Let me see if I can get you closer look at that Try to get Zoomed in there a bit We'll see how this looks Ignore the windbreaker You're welcome s and k nostalgia. Thank you. So this thank you for the five dollar super chat for sure Okay I didn't bang it into anything still lots of dust here watch this First off Look at that Look at all that Goodness this thing's dirty should have done this outside first Then you wouldn't have gotten to see a lot Okay I am going to wipe off this if I touch it, you know The big thing I want you to see is this right here Just the neck of the crt And you notice that we said I said there were some issues with convergence There's not even a convergence strip installed in here So definitely adding some convergence strips would help Good, let's blow some of this out of here. So I'm giving it all my face In a second Kind of knock All of it off There we go. It's pretty good Now we can Where's my where's my blower? There we go. Give it the old blow job, baby Okay I know it's bad for my lungs. It's terrible Thank you So i'm trying to blow it that way out of my lungs So this has a big bright yellow label i'm going to read you The model for the tube number here. It is A Jvc a five one k r e 9x Dt in parentheses Okay Then you of course got this speaker right here. What is that? That's a shielded speaker Eight ohms five watts got dual or two of those bad boys in there Let me zoom out of the camera And it looks really grainy when I blow the dust What do you think we got anybody From nyc in here today. We usually have some people from nyc. The dog is very He's sleeping. He forgot about everything. He finally zonked out.   That's the reason i'm not using chemicals That tube is pretty good Now one of the things I did want to see Which i'm not actually seeing on this neck board We remember in those other ones We remember in the models, um that I was discussing earlier about the Having velocity modulation on the set. This does not appear to have that Which that was also more of a flat screen feature for Uh flat screen crts, but I thought I'd check generally that would be located here on the neck board somewhere But there's no real indication that All right. Thanks for the next Another super chat there That's okay nostalgia You will not take your my business. Thank you There's plenty of business here Risky crt business This is the 20. Hey body blow biscuit butter. Yes. This is the 20 inch d-series Hey po 17 It is on your uh, yeah Okay Sometimes it's a cable or setting on the neck Board sometimes it's As simple as a setting in the uh menu. So we'll see I'm just not completely sure about the chassis if We may all have to do a group effort on trying to get that Actual um We may have to do a group effort on trying to get make sure we get the circuit board Or the service menu pulled up correctly. It's a lot cleaner in here Okay Not cleaner even those cables are good and clean So we'll put this back in It hopefully did no harm Hopefully we did no harm Sometimes I wonder if I bend a board accidentally Unremovable Is that that wouldn't be good first thing to plug in is the Speakers on the front right there And then that should be fine There's a harness for it. Keep it out of the way over there That No, that side's good. Now we need to slide it in a little bit into this tray That'll fit right in there like that good That's pretty much it. Well, we're gonna I'm gonna go in here now and reconnect some of these things Yeah, we'll figure it out together. I've got the settings here. I know it's it varies kind of between models So thanks p.o 17. Hopefully we can Get into it pretty simply so when I need to plug in my yoke Which is over here behind the flyback So we'll pull the pull the board out a little bit There we go It looks like that was being held maybe down here by the degausing cable So we'll reattach that over there Put that there That's good. So we got our degausing cable to attach also, which is in the front on the other side over in this Area like I said, it doesn't matter which way you set that in there should be fine Just like that That's everything in that zone now I like to come in here and Secure the neck board. Thankfully that just slips right over Like so it's a cake push from the center here And then this is the ground cable with the little clip.  I don't really want it to be loose I want to have a good good ground so Bend those guys a little bit And that's All right, we've got to do our last connection. What if you forgot to connect this? Huh Why zap you like a Bolt a lightning now before I do connect that I'm going to shake something else Okay, I've got some gloop here. Got some gloop here. We're going to gloop up our And out here Right there open that a little bit. This is just whoops Premium dielectric grease. It's actually I can't the marine quality It's just easy to find Sorry, there you go.  I'm going to go back and watch the tape after the streams over with Uh, because I can't believe it. I've never seen anything like that But if you want to you should go and check out the stream Where We had a couple zaps couple of zaps on that anode cap Unbelievable Then we checked anybody wants to know we also checked the resistance of the yoke So if you want those totals they have been revealed to the public earlier in the stream And there we go now We can Do some things so like to do Is not have to put the back on yet because it is filthy so As crazy as it sounds because this is a wild CRT We're going to plug it in But i'm going to set up my inputs before I do that Meaning i'm just going to plug in the component inputs before I Turn it on So that we can check some things try to get in that service menu Because i'm going to blow that one that back is worse i'm going to blow that out In the garage area Here everything There we go Those wires got tangled a bit Okay, here we go Here we go folks. Let's get some nice This sincerely make sure I've got my remote control excellent right here And Look at this party started and turn that light out and then We'll start like this Now again So nothing happens Everything's plugged in Turn the power on All right, I've turned the power on I don't want to touch the board because it might slip backwards Since there's no back holding it Let's try the remote Okay coming on Since he sounds normal There we go Does look a bit dark Doesn't it like I forgot I turned it. I turned the brightness way down On there. So let's get in there and see that Yeah, I turned the brightness way down. I forgot about that Yeah, okay So there you go It's still working. We didn't mess anything up. I'm going to turn that brightness back down a little bit And we're going to try I will give it a good focus adjustment for sure So first thing we're going to do is we're going to get out of that And we're going to pull back up 240p monoscope pattern There we go, and I'm going to turn this other light off We can see and I'm going to Switch back over so we could see if this feature or if this is the actual way To change our Our get into our service menu. So if you remember we were over here Thank you s and k nostalgia $5 super set a super chat save our crts. Absolutely. We're saving them so Thank you again Let me grab a drink of water. I'm getting a little dry parts to mouth here. All right Thank you again, everybody. We're coming up to a one point One point Four hour stream right now. What a weird way to say it, but hey, that's what you get here in the black retro tech bunker So it's time for the little reminder that if you could please please Hit the like button for me if you just joined recently and if you want to go back You should and check out. Uh, well, you can come back later on when this this stream goes into post production And becomes viewable all the time Check out the zaps that this jvc d series did it was some zaps And the interesting thing is is i've worked on the 36 inch d series a number of times And never and a 32 inch and never remember that zap I don't at all. So maybe it's just a 20 inch So there was a three zaps on the discharge So, uh, anyway, we're gonna get in here. We're gonna try to see if this is the correct way to get into this service menu. Okay And this says to do Press the sleep timer key and select the set the sleep timer to zero Then press display and video status key at the same time So it should be pretty simple Let's see if that actually works Cole he's he's still out sleeping. I don't know what the time slot is. Yeah I think it was like, uh about You know, you can go back to where it starts seeing the discharge. I definitely built it up a little bit When we go into that camera mode where I go zoom in real quick to the anode cap All right, let's see if that works. We're going to press sleep timer And then we're going to do display and video status display and video status are Just here and here that should be pretty easy to press together Sleep timers right below them I'm pressing sleep timer. It's set to zero minutes And then I'm going to press the two of them together and boom, baby Boom goes the dynamite There we go. Look at that. We have the whole board of things here now I wonder what some of these are low light, high light Y c picture and picture For all right check the first setting For ntsc mat, that's the red push So what's select I need to go back over here. Sorry. So this is definitely not going to pull out of this menu We're going to go over over here. We're going to see We're going to go into this first vc setting So we should be able to just press up and down and left and right when we get to it Okay, so up and down. All right, let's go to this first setting. All right, hang on We are There's a lot of things in this one So I went to the first one now. You're saying check the first For ntsc mat. So we need to try to find something says ntsc mat Select any Of the items then press the volume. Yes, okay Sorry, I'm just looking through here at this To see if it says that The first exit key to get to the last screen. So that's what we just I need to know All right, so I'm going up right here. We have apc clock Vm off So maybe that's off right virtual modulation off. That's probably good Maybe it's already off on the set Agc adjust 80. That's not what we're looking for V1 gain Dude None of these are anything so far. It does give you sub contrast osd contrast video switch blue rgb mute sharpness ntsc mat Okay, there it is So it's like three two five two one. I think it says so it's already Yeah, oh, I've already gone here and turned it off. But that's good. Look Look at that difference right there So And that's funny. I guess I've already been in this or whoever I got this from's already gone in here and done this And and already turned virgin virtual module. We'll turn that on in a second but if we go to like Our color bars, uh, let's do This one Think or no here.  Of course, I've got the brightness down But and there's a reflection right here from my monitor actually So let me see if I can turn that there that kind of helps Right Yeah, see it's kind of reflecting there, but these colors are pretty balanced. They're all in the same four range Because I've got the brightness turned down by turn the brightness. They'll go back up into the good range But when I add that red push Which is set on here the ntsc mat. Look how look how pronounced that pushes red Unreal Yeah, look at his hair in his jacket. He literally goes from brown hair to red hair There's three modes all of them steak Hey, pixie pixels. Thank you Yeah, you can check stuck in the 90s. There's probably something in there for this You just need to make sure that you go through your service manual Or and honestly if you go if we go back through that, let me let me pull that back up Um It should All right, let's see. Yes It's s. So that's not a five. That's s 21 So you should be able to come in here And interesting look at this nts mat setting It is it's this is the setting you're looking for so you can look in your service manual and find this setting on this television And you need it to say zero like I said it has three models. It's normally set in three or two or one right Look at that Depending on the input that's crazy. You might have to go in here and change it for each input. I'm not sure But it's on component right now So there's that one, uh, you obviously have other colors you could increase your colors on the drives if you need more color blue and red or the cutoffs and the drives and even more cutoffs and drives. It's awesome Uh, let's see. None of those things are important For this. What was the other one? We wanted this one So this is the verge vm modulation off interesting It says it's normally set to zero And that's what it was Oh, okay, cool Thank you po Says it's uh, it's all the same Okay so No, it's not me It's it's supposed to be Uh the guy from snatcher Well, that's great. So there you go. You definitely can have a red push On this television and it can be a multi-layer red push because there's three red pushes Uh in this so make sure that that's turned off I'm I'm curious Who else is curious and wants to see what happens come on camera quit that Who wants to see what else happens when we go up to that? So you could adjust that an increase like red and blue there if you want to sub bright tint color Um apc clock. Gosh, is that going to do anything if I turn that on? Oh, I can't really see anything happening I don't see anything really happening as I adjust that so it might not be that on this set okay Let's See what happens. We should be able to do exit And get back to this service menu And What do you guys want to look at next? Whoops, it's a run button We got deflection sound others picture and picture 3l yc. I don't know what that's got to do. It sounds like something to do with the s video Low light. What is low light? Oh It's got Values for each color there. I'm not really sure about that one interesting All right guys, we'll look at some deflection settings Whoops. Oh, I hit the exit button and got out. I hit the wrong button See if I remember that sleep timer There we go. It's so easy to get into this. This is an awesome tv guys This is a lot you could sit sit here and adjust it from your couch. What a fantastic crt Let's get in these deflection. It's probably going to be difficult to see Uh that down there. So let me get you to a screen that Oh that dog Let me get you to a screen that we can actually see something on Okay, so there's a little bit of the screen there vertical frequency Is what it's sitting in first Let's go up horizontal position 14 yep, we could do that and Change our horizontal positioning Easily center up our thing, but it was already centered That doesn't actually do anything on this set. So I'm guessing that's a function on another set That has more features than this one And that should just change it vertically. Oops. I just missed vertical size So this is something I want to check Something I'll set up Um, and that's the Aspect ratio. So here's your geometry lesson folks She'll always just start with this just you know, no matter what else happens It should get good aspect ratio. So mario looks good and round and not too bad not too skinny not too tall So I'm gonna measure outside. Let's see looking at a good five inches and Five and three eighths inches wide Five and three eighths inches wide. Let's go five Three eight inches tall. See we're only dude We're under five and a quarter. So we are extremely Extremely off on this aspect ratio like we have to go majorly big and Let me see what that is now So that that's corrected now Well, you don't you the vertical frequency needs to be set correctly On a tv. I wouldn't really mess with the frequency settings unless you have The procedure set to do that correctly because you have to do the vertical frequency Um, you know, it needs to be set if it's set wrong And you change it it can actually screw up the other settings Here we go Let's move on That's pretty good vertical center You know, I think we're looking pretty good for vertical center, but she can go up and down that way Or you should be able to I'm not getting any changes. That's funny Huh so s-corner this is going to be like the uh Linearity and stuff There's horizontal size Funny some of these settings aren't changing anything so that might be a sign that Trapezoid would be Trapezoid would be used and that is not a setting in this one That would be used to fix blanking Goodness so trapezoid Okay trapezoid would be used Trapezoids used to make adjustments on the side. I think let's try it. Let's turn that up a little bit Whoops wrong button and I'll show you what I'm like. I mean Let's change that up 34 See, it's not really doing anything. Is it interesting? So I'm not getting reaction from some of these settings at all That's it. Let's see if this does anything 26 Look at that. It's not doing anything. So you have to see if this does anything on yours I think there's different models of these that don't actually do all these features All right There you have it. You could do vertical stuff Trapezoid supposed to be pink cushion. Yeah Oh play lethal enforcers on sega cd says s and k nostalgia. I'm sorry. I don't actually have that game Orability I don't have anything set up to play sega cd. I don't get to play any games besides the one you see right here This is the only game I get to play So the aspect ratio vertical center and horizontal center set and the size that's all good I'm not really concerned about the edges. That's why you get that Warped edge anyway with the look of that tv. I think it looks a lot better though Excellent. Okay So that's a good run through There you go. Look at that Cole still sleeping All right guys, so how about a schedule? How about the rest of this week?  I'll have to look at some of that It is the game of the year. So does anybody have any questions before I get out of here today About what we've gone over Turn that light back on It's been a real fun stream.

Thank you s and k nostalgia 20 super chat trying to make me stay around I think so let's see We're gonna do some adjustment on the focus Right here and I I want to see if if like If it looks any better any worse. It's helpful There we go Now focus will be done best done Kind of like turned down the monoscope pattern right there And I do actually have to get to the back of the tv this time to do this Let me see kind of what it looks like back there. I got a little flashlight here so I can It's on the opposite side, of course, so I'll go around to that side and Take a little screwdriver And I'll adjust the focus from the this side coming in And we'll do it that way Okay, the focus is the top tensiometer on the back of the fly bag So I'm not even touching it with my hands. I'm actually using the screwdriver But you could tell look how out of that's out of focus obviously And as I turn it back clockwise it'll come back into focus We'll hit our focal point and then we'll wash back out again We need to come back a little bit And bam right there is like the money spot That's it Everything looks good Everything looks good And of course now Now I'm having second thoughts about selling this crt. Just look at that thing whoo Look at that. Let's see Here you go I still feel like it's too bright right like it's pushing too much brightness But maybe I'm wrong. I don't look it's not playing. Oh, yeah, it is here comes I thought it wasn't I thought it wasn't coming up So that's kind of what you want to do anytime Come down to the show if you want to get this tv If you want to get this tv, I'm gonna sell it It's going to be at the music city multicon.

It's definitely got a great tube on there um I'm not I don't even know that I've ever know that I've ever played this anyway Oh, that's cool. Look at that little v. I have put a little v in there What do you think that looks pretty good doesn't it? but Like the max I would ever ask for something like this I know it sounds crummy, but would be like 300 bucks. I don't even plan to do that But it is a convention and I do need to recoup some costs. So it'll probably about 250 bucks And then if it doesn't sell I'll bring it back and I don't know Make more content with it Look at that I mean, it looks really good though. Now that it's been adjusted. I feel like everything's All right, let's go to something else that I can actually show you guys this one's going to be a little Sorry about that s and k I'm gonna try something else here because that one's gonna take a long time for me I think to get through and actually play anything I wonder how this will look Right, this is a good one Let's see if I can turn that um Like brightness down a little bit There we go. That should be a little better. Let's get out of all that Let's just see. Wow. Look at that is that is crispy, isn't it? It is it's this one you can move around a lot too because it's not as heavy We can play this for a second and I maybe I can get the volume up. I don't know I don't know Don't really want to listen to that anyway. I'm gonna listen to jazz There we go Could you imagine how how red the screen that you're seeing right now would be with that red push turned on?  Yes So the cool thing is when you use component mode on this television And you use those ht retrovision cables with something like this in 60 or sorry hit 64 Super nintendo You're going to get awesome scan lines Like you're actually visibly getting scan lines on here Okay So it's uh, you know That's the best part, right?

How can one still claim the pyramids to have been tombs when they are aware of the astounding burial chambers found within the Valley of the Kings? With the tomb of the sons of Ramses II being not only the largest but what many archaeologists believe, second to the pyramids and their accompanying sphinx is the next greatest discovery ever made within ancient Egypt. A literal labyrinth of chambers, it was initially discovered in 1825, yet due to its gargantuan scale it wasn't until 1995 and thanks to an Egyptologist known as Kent R. Weeks that we have begun to re-establish its true possible size. The tomb was examined several times, even being investigated by Howard Carter himself, but due to the outer tombs having been looted in antiquity, he simply used them as a dumping ground for rubble. It was not until 1995, during the Theban Mapping Project, when Weeks decided to clear the outer tombs. Approximately 70 rooms lined along long corridors, running far back into the hillside were found. The number of rooms were then said to correspond to the number of sons the pharaoh sired. However, further excavations have revealed that the tomb is even larger, the size of an underground town cut directly from a granite hillside, its true scale still unknown. As of 2006, at least 130 chambers have so far been discovered, yet work continues on clearing the rest of this underground maze. We feel that although a later civilization, one lacking the knowledge to build such monuments, came along and claimed these relics as their own, with the possible motivation of an illusion of power, like that of the many other sites we cover worldwide, predictably now also conveniently tied to these groups in academia. Yet the true feat these chambers would have been, along with the riches these pharaohs often left behind, are not only proof that these creations and collections of wealth were not only far beyond the ability of copper-wielding academically claimed builders, but that the archaeological evidence does indeed support the theory that these kings either ruled during the creator s civilization or built these monuments themselves. Yet how remains an infuriating enigma? We also feel their age and indeed original lineage in the true history of the Giza Plateau is what ultimately becomes convoluted. Yet I digress. Who built KV-5? It is a place we find highly compelling.


This week's top secret is a video we filmed and it has the new ESP32 workflow. That's right. Well, Scott added support for the Odoid Go, which I was like, well, this is really nice because it has like everything built in and you just plug everything's ready.  So even though the feather has been supported for a while, I wanted to wait until we had something with a screen on it so I could quickly see and debug the output. Okay, I'm gonna play the video. Go for it. Okay, so we have merged web workflow on ESP32 for Adafruit Circuit Python thanks to Scott and Dan for doing the review. And what that means is now when we have devices like this Odoid Go, which is this really cool ESP32-based gaming platform, if I turn this on and wait for it to boot and it's connecting to the internet, you'll see at the top bar, it's gonna connect to WiFi and it gets an IP address, <IP_ADDRESS>. And if I go to my browser and I go to <IP_ADDRESS>.13, you'll see that it connects to, this is served by the device itself and then I can click on the serial terminal and I can actually type in stuff into here and then it shows up on the terminal here. So this is a complete echo, print hello, and then you can see it here. So I can control and communicate with the ESP32 over WiFi using a Chrome browser. Okay, and that's top secret and you can check out the blog post that we have on this as well. Okay.
