get warmed up we're gonna talk a little bit about some things first off and we're gonna go to talk about Steve well let's say let's see first off I want to make sure I pull you up on the screen again that'd be good all right I want to look at my face haven't haven't a couple of pasty guys here talking about CRT welcome to the right place hey Mohammed hey little pig all right so yeah I have a fresh bottle of bourbon for tonight's show to enjoy with you and we're having a little conversation on this show and I've had some conversations with hey Mark I've had some conversations with Zez about this about my constant obsession with now bourbon so yeah I went out yesterday picked up this bottle of old Forrester 1920 which is their super hot 115 proof like premium bottle and so yeah I'm about to but I don't think you probably hear that pop on my microphone didn't hear the pop but it's a fresh one right here and I will pour a drink and why don't you tell us what what have you got on the on the old glass tonight I'm not I'm not living in the lap of luxury like a CRT repairman so I don't have the old Forrester 115 I have the old Forrester statesman which is 95 proof by the way how is this not sponsored by old Forrester I think you've dropped the ball on this one Steve I'm to the Apple we're I know right we're just they could have at least in product we could have at least got some free whiskey out of this yeah right or a free like a free at least some free passes old Forrester give us some free passes to your distillery and we'll do a live show from your distillery how about that no instead we're just sitting here schlepping around at two cents of view so we got yeah we're just randomly on old Forrester night now I will you asked I said we would wait to just kind of fill the audience in here on how we actually got the old Forrester for me I'm in Virginia as many of you know and I have to get my whiskey from the or bourbon from the state run alcohol beverage Commission store and they have sales every once in a while so this month it's old Forrester sale and I did the old mover I went in the store and I looked at all their bottles because they're all four of them I think right next to each other and I was like you know what the big ones $5 off I'm not I'll just buy that one I'm not gonna like buy a couple down from it I'll just go for it so it was about 60 bucks for it though it's pretty pricey but not too bad it's about average that's a pretty good price that's a pretty good price actually 60 bucks see the problem with Michigan's we get we get markup left and right and they all they all advertise you know state minimum prices and all that stuff but you could actually that's what's cool is you could actually just look up what the price of the bourbon is supposed to be and you pull it up and you go this is supposed to be $55 dude you're charging me 95 what yeah you know and you know they get away with it because people want it I don't know what happened I have you when it when did you get turned on to bourbon because I feel like last time we did this and we were like oh we're we're drinking we're getting into the brown stuff tonight you had like some some rickety old bottle somewhere you found you're just like hell with it and now you're like like or yeah yeah it's become like my thing that's what I don't know that's what I was trying to when did that happen when did so I don't know I've really I've really been the truth is my stepfather's big into it and has been for a while and so I'd go over to his place and drink a lot and I was like you know what well what would happen is I would go and I tried to figure out I wanted to learn more about it and I was like I'm just gonna start getting into it so I started to try to figure out things about it what all this stuff meant what was good what was not so good and he helped train me a lot about things but also I've just kind of developed my own like taste and favorite things but I really just went head in and and in Virginia they do these crazy things which this randomly happened today I went in to get another bottle and I got in there and what happens is they randomly will drop all these amazing bottles of whiskey and it's like stuff on the lottery list like tonight when I got I was I'm going to I finished working it's five o'clock I'm gonna go down to the liquor store because I'm just bored and I want to go see if I can find a bottle to add to my collection which is that's how sad it's become but I mean that's pretty sad yeah so I pull up to the liquor store and I mean this one's in like the hood of where I live and there's not usually more than one or two cars there and I pull in and there's like 50 cars and I'm like what the heck is going on here and I pull in like the back and just the middle of the parking lot I couldn't even find a spot I just parked I go in and there's a huge line and they have all these things out here they have all this stag all this they had Blanton's they had eagle rare they had big eagle rare like a big one liter bottle of eagle rare I never seen that one but they only let you buy one bottle of this stuff so I got in there and I was like all right I'm like 30th in line and of course the stag was gone in 10 people in line by the 10th person and then everything else was still there when I got there so I wound up getting that Elijah Craig you saw I post a picture and that's like a barrel proof that's 11 almost it's 11 year five month age whiskey wow and it's another hot one it's like a hundred and twenty two proof and it's a single barrel and it was that was a little bit more I think I paid about 75 for that one but it's one that you can only buy one and they had a list of like whiskies out there and they said I said some of them now I would have I just got back for my birthday where I got two bottles of Blanton's and two bottles of eagle rare for my gifts so I didn't want to buy I was gonna buy the other ones but I went in there I bought that went to wait in this huge line of just middle-aged men like me all giddy giddy in line like they were getting some Pokemon cards right what's that or at least you get drunk off the bourbon that's right hey I mean so hey salute salute thank you hey salute to you it's like everybody else out there Tony Escobar best gift I ever got Colonel E.H. Taylor amazing that guy has some taste Tony Tony Escobar's got some taste that is the best bourbon on the planet can't find it I and I and I'm pissed cuz I published that damn Mike Chi interview almost two weeks ago and I said guys if you see it in the wild DM me I have gotten zero DMs no one no one has seen this stuff but you said there was a giveaway wasn't there at like at like Buffalo at the Buffalo trace distillery no no no so I was showing you thanks Tony hey Perkin you're right ancient age was great great whiskey yeah so the I was looking at the distilleries so there's a couple of really good distilleries in Virginia oh yeah and and one of them has this bourbon and it's always sold out here so I'm trying to get it and it's it's about $55 but the thing is that if you live in the state you can go to the distillery itself and order from them and they can ship it to you in state so but the distilleries out of it well it's the same way if you go to the Buffalo trace distilleries website they tell you what they currently have in stock right at that moment so I looked in there and they had just rolled out Colonel E.H. Taylor so anybody who's near the I don't know if it's sold out already I didn't check it that was back when I sent you that a week ago but that's literally one of the hardest to get yeah hey James yeah everybody's in thanks everybody for showing up tonight yeah definitely there's about like button force if you haven't already and yeah we're both enjoying a lovely drink I actually got these amazing glasses for my birthday cool look at it it's got a it's got a blown-in mountain range it's the tea it's the Teton mountain range and oh cool and so there's four different blown glass mountain ranges on there and so I have a set of four of them that was a gift and you notice like as you get older you know people are always like what do you want for your birthday what do you want for Christmas what do you want I'm just like just get me liquor just get me booze man now I have yeah yeah it's all I want I don't give a shit and I always need more of it yeah I have everything else I could possibly want and or need except for liquor I need liquor and underwear those are my two priorities just give me those that's funny yeah that's that's kind of what I had been going for so for this I mean I wrecked and good this this year because everybody knew I jumped into bourbon recently and so they all everybody bought me something a couple bottles most of them so I raked in like your what was your your your spirit of choice before it was bourbon what was oh well I mostly drink beer and then for a little bit I tried to get into just like drink at vodka drinks but they don't taste like anything and I would just drink things I think and then get you know you get too drunk at some point yeah on vodka and and my instance was on a boat that was like a rental this boat was rented for my my wife's good friend it was her birthday and she rented a pontoon boat for the lake we were on or her husband did and he's a good buddy and they hired a driver and of course everybody's drinking and stuff and yeah I I drank too many like vodka cranberries and just or whatever that soda drink is like just soda water you know yeah yeah and I mean I was on the top of the canopy to a cannonballs to a cannonball splash splash my wife was pissed I was splashing her yeah I got I got to boat boat level Steve after that so yeah the boat always gets you so after that I realized I need to do a little bit more of a slow slower pace and I mean this is this is wonderful by the way if anybody was wondering it is worth $60 if anybody's wanting to know you ever get I think the most I bought a you ever drink Jefferson they have a they've got a bourbon that's it's aged at sea yeah I guess they just throw a barrel out there for seven years and yeah let it roll around in the ocean yeah and let it roll around the boat and evidently it does have like a salt flavor to it you know it has a salty flavor to it does I mean it's expensive is like I I think what I got it was like 85 bucks or 90 bucks yeah that's what I can't and that you know the in the guy at the liquor store he's he's very good at selling what he has I always walk in there and I asked for shit he doesn't have a brother and he's like but I tell you what I do have I just bought a barrel of this Jefferson at sea and he always like has samples for me try it out it's like the middle of the work day and I'm like okay all right fine you know and yeah this moment how'd you do that won't let you get samples that sucks go I have Virginia you living in the Bible belt that's your problem that's your problem man so you got the oak are you got to taste the sea you did you taste the sea it had a salty flavor to it I don't know if it was worth $85 or $90 whatever it was oh my gosh yeah some I gotta be honest with you just give me a $30 bottle of bullet I'm happy or a like $35 bottle of Buffalo Trace I'm happy you know I don't need the I mean this stuff's nice this is like 65 a bottle but it's not like I don't know it's not like oh man I can't wait to have that you know but the EH Taylor that normally is like $60 a bottle yeah they're normally not a lot it's they're not a lot but the markup has just been absurd it's like $150 now so I think even then at 150 I would still pay it so you still think it's worth that then yeah it's just good stuff yeah well I just sent you a picture while I was back at visiting my parent or my mother in my father in law yeah father and he pulled out this backer at Woodford Reserve and it was a craziest first off it's like a $2,000 bottle of whiskey which is nuts you can go look it up on but on on Woodford Reserve's website they still make them but it's it's got to be like $1,500 for the glass bottle or something because it's I don't know but you could I didn't really look up a lot on it but it was an in like an unreal I've never had a whiskey taste like that and it just it was it wasn't it was after you added a little bit of water to it just a touch and it would make a taste you could taste like charred so much charred like the barrel in a good way right but again I was thinking golly if you were to go buy that somewhere just like one drink of that would be like 300 bucks if you were lucky in a restaurant being maybe five or five yeah I was about to say right crazy so I was glad to be able to try it and try a lot of his say it's nice he broke it out for you for your birthday yeah 40th birthday right it's a big deal right you turn 40 once just all downhill from there I could tell you I'm a grizzled veteran at 40 like a couple months right for two months exactly happy belated birthday to you thank you so yeah before we go to off kilter here we have a wonderful little 15 minute discussion with everybody about whiskeys and I'm sorry we are going to get to the chat here so we're we're looking at it now we'll definitely get in for some questions but before we get too far into things I just wanted to give give you a chance to kind of tell us what you've been up to I know that first off congratulations on the awesome interview with Mike and that was that was awesome and big congratulations on a thousand subscribers to right so cool stuff I mean it's cool I mean it's everything you read when you start up a YouTube channel they say your first year like don't expect to get a ton of subscribers and it takes so long to build a following and yada yada yada and I don't know yeah the reactions been great everybody's been great a lot of people I'm sure in the chat subscribed my YouTube channel I think they're great I'm just just humbled that so many people took on to my channel and all the crap that I make I'm making the next the next video the next on trial episode is I mean it made Steve it's gonna top an hour it's serious yeah I've been writing this I said this in the interview like it's been almost ready for three weeks and I keep adding stuff to it and editing it moving stuff and I got up gosh there's only a little bit left so it should be done it should be done this week so wow I'm and you know I'm at the point where I'm like I haven't filmed I have filmed a lot of b-roll and I've sent you some of the b-roll yeah you know I've sent it to a few people just like hey what do you think of this shot and stuff like that and the reaction to that's been great so I'm getting the vibe that it's gonna be a big production and I'm thinking about doing a live premiere I don't know if you've ever done one of those sure where you could just watch it and you have the chat going on you could just kind of interact with with all the viewers and I think that I think that'd be pretty pretty sick but I just don't know I don't know if there's any analytics to where you know a live premiere is a bad thing for your video because there's yeah slow burn no it's not yeah it's not so much anymore they still do that doesn't really hurt you like that there actually was a time where you could use that it was last year but the algorithm was a little broken you could use premiere and you could get huge numbers to tune in to your channels doing it so they've kind of balancing back out where it's normal and it depends on the video and I think that a long format like that is great it's a great idea because you'll be able to be there for but you'll have to be there the whole video then that sucks I don't know if I want to sit there for an hour but well you don't really have to but I mean it does give you a chance to sit there and talk to people direct you on your channel which is cool and then it it shouldn't really hurt it once the thing is over it goes into being like a normal video so I'm toying around with the idea I think it'll be cool but I don't know man just a lot of a lot of big stuff I've had I think was last time I've been on here I think it was like the what was I even doing was a video or was it yeah it was something like that something like that so I put out a lot of stuff Neo Geo yeah I want to say maybe man I can't remember no do you know what the Neo Geo video we got we got stupid drunk that that video yeah that night I remember I passed out on the couch I like log gov shut the laptop and just laid on the couch I woke up and it was 4 a.m. I was like what the fuck be like is the camera still rolling yeah I'm you nutter because you you had all the you had you unboxed all that shit from god what was that it was from I don't even remember what it was like what do you go yeah it was all this testing but like what are you gonna use with this you're no idea oh man I had to send some of that to the scrap yard actually because it was just useless and worthless so that was kind of a bad thing that was kind of a bad deal for me to even do I should have dragged you dragged Keith rainy on to be like Keith can you explain what any of this shit does and Keith Keith I saw Keith was here a minute ago definitely I know I know Keith yeah Keith needs to come back on and to talk about color calibration more and stuff yeah man that was a good one yeah so that's that thank you so yeah everything good you got the new I watched the I watched the cathode ray podcast a little bit today you guys that's fine you guys were getting into it about the scalar wars and yeah and that PSIO and all that how about that how about the PSIO man all this stuff is yeah ridiculous I mean so ridiculous like that where it's always like that we're somebody's trying to hide like you are you know you're supporting piracy and then they're just doing it themselves we got a chat D DD X 2021 hey guys I'm new to CRT TV hey welcome to the club it's a it's a big rabbit hole man oh yeah it'll get it'll get you can't stop at one no you cannot you cannot so yeah there's a lot of a lot of stuff oh yeah the Jerry Springer show that was the one that was a real fan Felipe that was fun that's a good reference for you know what he's right because I just got the M4 and I wanted to show off the M4 yeah that's that's what it was yeah I wasn't drinking that night unfortunately yeah I think I was and then you were like you were getting into me off here you you were getting into it about the girls gone wild girl you met at a party oh my gosh I did I probably hired somebody like these other fancy youtubers to make clip shows I might actually get some funny stuff back here might actually have some yeah some funny stories that people people or not it doesn't matter we can all just enjoy it here live that's really the point that's right so there's a there's that I got here I've got a new video that I actually had to kind of slow down because I felt kind of bad Bob Bob behind the scenes this week he had to like refilm his segment for the for the morph announcement like four times and he said this rough cuts and this is funny this is funny so I I don't know about you I get on these stents where I'm looking at a countdown like how many days I have left till like a deadline you know and all I want to do is like work every day till I get the job done it doesn't matter if it's like oh you got it done six days early congratulations right right so I've got that thing going on so a lot of times I will just run run run I'll wake up early so I work at the house and I'll start going early and sometimes will be mid-afternoon I might sit on the recliner and I think I was listening to Bob's voice talking again like the third time about the morphine and I just passed out of the recliner with it going dude that so I don't I shouldn't say it but he said so he sent me the rough cut to the first one yeah and and it was fine you know and then he he sent me the you know then the announcement I think Dan said something like I'm gonna put out a I don't know uncompressed file over the weekend and I'll show it off and we're everybody like alright cool so then Bob's like fuck now I gotta re-record this thing yeah we recorded it and he was just rambling on and on and on I don't know that's what you gotta do right it's what you gotta do I told him I said Bob just just say like hey there's an announcement that we'll see stuff over the weekend I'll update you next week I'm like that would have been totally fine like I know I just I just tell me that's good I yeah yeah I I well I had this video that I shot and put together about highlighting a Dell PC CRT okay it's quick video it's like eight minutes but it's good run-through on this Dell PC CRT that really I had no idea about but it's amazing it's like a Trinitron yes yeah and it's like it's four by three and it's I mean if you find one for like under 300 bucks it's in good shape anybody should grab this get it it's a nice big one it's 21 inch viewing area it's got the same pretty much tube as the C500 which is 520 which is like the four by three version of the FW 900 okay so anyway yeah I had that I even wrote a review for it with it for retro RGB and Bob's like hey man I've already had to recut this week's podcast three times can you please hold on that article I was like I don't want to add more trouble to you so I will not intro gaming it moves too fast too fast for Bob Neil I was like don't worry I think the whole world can slow down and not have to read about this Dell 2004 PC Trinitron well I got one night did you see the post I made about the I've got a SGI Trinitron yes is that the same is that the same tube I don't know you know send me your model number it took it's what it's not easy to find I had to do some digging to find the actual stuff and I was a little confused by it when I first started looking at it but I went through and I went and I couldn't really find like good documentation and I could just find trails of like old listings for parts like the tube I was able to go find the tube where it was sold by Sony based on its part number and based on the little listing in the sales data I was able to find a little bit information more and then I was able to match the tube number to another tube that had more information from a more well-known Sony model so I just depends because they did do with Silicon Graphics they did work with them for a length of time where there's a couple different models so if you just it's a it's a GDM something I don't know it's a 20 inch it's it's gorgeous I mean it's a really it's you know what I really like it's got a it's got like an auto like an auto crop button oh really where it'll it takes the raw RGB HV and it just kind of just shoots it on the on the on the you know the surface of the screen and it may just be you know it may not be centered correctly and you could just hit this button and it just kind of bounces around the screen and figures out what the best you know what the best measurements are and it'll stretch it perfectly still at a four by three aspect ratio and right at the right resolution it scales just to the right resolution and it looks perfect I and I don't have a I don't have a PC for it like I don't I don't I just connect the Dreamcast to it I'm like this is perfect yes it's looks really nice but yeah I I don't know what I'm gonna do with it I know well I do know what I'm doing I'm gonna film a bunch of Dreamcast stuff with it and I'm probably gonna sell it that's I don't know man I don't have room Steve yeah don't like that I still gonna get this I gotta get this m40 of to get serviced I mean I just don't have room for and I've got one of yours here already so that special announcement special announcement tonight because you are my good friend you can have that M1 oh wow that M1 is yours you could fix it thank you if it's if it's fixable I don't even know fuck dude you've had that thing for four months hey yours your TV fill into the black hole okay like just don't all right just don't I mean no it's not there's no there's some D series you know I know like this like I'm gonna tell you something nobody will confuse me with like showing favoritism to two celebrities are my friends okay okay because unfortunately yeah like try for my life in gaming he dropped his CRTs were here 11 months or destiny FOMO's hers have been she said like a fucking D series yeah like a D20 and again it's like stuff where Bob is like here can you take this and work on it at some time and I'm like yeah but then I get going and then I get busy and I get all these hard deadlines for things and I just keep moving things back and what happens is these things just get pushed where it's like oh it's finally your you have to have a deadline for me to be like yes okay I'll do it I don't like this this month is yeah I'm trying I don't think that I'm one you can have it you could sell it you could fix it up and do whatever you want well hopefully I exit I think I pay well do a here do a video on it do and then and then you could say how sweet and kind I am because I gifted it to you and how I'm the nicest guy ever and how everybody should subscribe to my channel everybody should do that yeah so that's yeah that's those PVMs you know they're they're fine they're but that's what happens sometimes it just gets sucked into the black hole and I mean Bob said some that have been here for a long time to poor guy well you're about to see him so tell you're going to retro world yeah in two weeks what last year you stayed I think you stayed in an Airbnb didn't you're gonna do that again are you gonna get no no no no yes so yeah last year there were like literal drug deals going down outside my window and I was afraid like I was afraid mean streets of Hartford yeah I was afraid every time I was like every time I had to get in there and to an Uber I was like shit man I had to go back to that place and I got to run into my room as quick as possible lock the door and I mean there was like chains on there there was a cage a cage on the back oh god and it was just I mean it was a mess was it like your own did you like rent a room in a house it was a whole it was like a whole house okay it wasn't a house it was apartment on the first floor of like a building that was older but I'm in the inside of this place was nice usually I like to do that because I get I get used to be able to get a better deal on there and you could get like a kitchen you know full-size bathroom you get a deck you go out you know whatever right I didn't want to but this year I was like I am not going and staying in Hartford it was it was quite interesting because I when I made the video talking about my experience I actually went to the crime statistic websites and I was pulling up the maps and I found my building and it said like the most dangerous red crime zone it's like stay away from this block of Hartford Connecticut and Tijuana Mexico don't walk those places it's like when you play Sim City and you put up the crime statistics and it goes over your map and you know the high crime areas like molten lava yes it was molten lava and I had a mini van that I had rented that I was scared to death so I was just gonna mess with because it was filled with CRTs yeah filled with them so it's yeah unless the you know unless the hoodlums were pasty white guys who were into video games they'd be like who carries around these shitty-ass TVs you know in a minivan I stupid yeah well this was an even funnier thing I thought I thought I was you get some rags with the comments about you know I'm getting dragged left and right now I'm using my shitty MacBook webcam and it's a whole time it doesn't work yeah it does the work no the words the salt in the wound was fucking phone dork who I love who I absolutely love like his his videos like ten years ago were like the greatest things ever they still are the greatest things ever I know he's like dude you don't have to set your camera autofocus like what the fuck are you doing yeah hit the wrong button I'm sorry Mike was there and I was like fuck it let's roll let's just do it you know no but that's cool it's actually it actually was a good thing like it because it's a meme or it's like a joke yes yes Bob played up to it everybody's got it going I'm up and I'm gonna I'm dragging Bob in this next video by the way I got something to Bob so I guess I love it he can you he could yuck it up as much as he wants back to the long format that's lovely to hear oh cool that's koala giving me shit yeah it's a good dude yeah he's actually got so he said in a it's a 14 inch multi-format that was air shipped and UPS still screwed it up but man don't not UPS dude no we're waiting for we're waiting for them to say what they say but I was gonna say I don't know the tube was pretty rough on that one but that might be one that if the insurance pays them and everything we could just hook it up to the tube zapper and see if it actually helps it or if it just pops it was a 14 L5 he said yeah yeah but it's like the D I think it's like the Japanese one second D 14 L5 or something okay which I'm not I believe that's it all the but it's like it looks just like a 14 L5 I started you know I started importing all the Japanese PVMs and I think the I think the word is out now I think that I think that's over with oh man this are going crazy up so much yeah more than everybody's looking at that more than eBay right now I think right exactly well you know because that M1 I I literally just gave you I think I got that M1 for like 50 bucks yeah you know I mean it costs a hundred and fifty to ship so but still you know $200 for a I mean it's not working but I'm sure you'll get it going but but yeah those days are done those days right I saw I did see a fourth I last checked you know because I'm done with CRT I I literally have I mean you could see you could probably see something right over my shoulder here I've got a couple just they're just aligning the floor to my basement all around the perimeter because I bought so many for this video I think I checked like two weeks ago and yeah I think it was a it was either a 14L5 or a 14M4 and they wanted $750 for it and I was just like okay this is over yeah no more buying yeah like the jig is up okay so much so much for that yeah it's alright guys well I had I had somebody that wanted to buy just a consumer set this week on patreon and they they were like it's I think it's you know my dad told me a long time ago that what's the the grease see the whatever this the grease or the I don't know the wheel that squeaks gets the grease or something you try it I can't even remember the damn pun anymore the squeak the squeaky wheel gets the grease right so the guy the guy just kept on messaging me and over and over and I'm like I I was honestly running around my basement and I was like I was thinking of a CRT for him and I couldn't even find it and I forgot it was in my storage unit it was like and I was like holy crap I have like 20 over there in the storage unit and so that's what I did I went over there and got that but I had to ship that and it was it was a consumer set and I just I mean I packed it as great as I could put it in a double wall box you know put it all in this thick foam it's practically a box that's a one-time monitor box like the ones on wheels and if UPS screws it up then they're just gonna screw it up and they're gonna have to pave it but I'd still think they could do it you know they'll still be very possible that's what I was like just keep everything it's possible doesn't matter how good you pack it hey can I show can I share my screen is that is that a thing I don't real quick what happens when you do that yeah share permissions warning yeah you'll be fine screen yeah like I just need to move myself a little bit so it's not I don't want to throw no no you're perfect I saw something on your Twitter and I wanted you to comment oh gosh what is this no no it's not the big dick woofer yeah oh my gosh I know there was so many different in your work it's not gonna work so you had this little like I don't know this little woodgrain wood veneer okay little little 80s television like what is that that was in your storage unit yeah that's my sharp lini tron oh that's a beautiful so I found that set in my and my wife's old family business it was back in the props area is a kids dance studio it was back in the props area and I was like holy crap this thing's back here I'm just taking it and it worked it worked for a long time and then one day it just stopped working and I haven't gotten it open to figure it out so it doesn't it doesn't work but it was one of those ones that you could you could smack on the side it's just like that stupid space with me where that guy's taking a broom he's like what the side of the CRT and it just starts fired up so back when TVs were real TVs it's like dude that guy literally just has like a little solder point and it's like oh you almost got it oh shoot so funny that's a beautiful set I'm I'm surprised Bob's not like offering you no one can have it doesn't work I'm not I'm not getting out there's no point like I had a you wouldn't have something funny I did have so I have obviously get reached out to from museums probably four or five times a year half the time it's the ones I know and I do business worth normally other times it's referrals for new ones and with the new ones the new ones are always kind of funny because they don't know my pricing and sometimes you'll get these museums they're just like godly cheap or something and they think you're crazy but it's a museum and it's a business so those are like the people that I always invoice like you're charged but there was there was a one in Mississippi that asked me to get them a bunch of 20 inch or larger TVs from the 1950s or earlier and I was like my god I don't even think they had that many to begin with then and on I was like I can't really find that size but I can find you like black and white ones that kind of look like that they're smaller and they'll have to be rebuilt and stuff and I'm like these things are gonna be like a thousand bucks a piece and they were like oh that's that's pretty expensive and I was like well okay they're like here's the golden question you asked me I'm giving away a secret but they'll say oh well what kind of guarantee do you offer with them and I and then that's always like I guarantee I won't be selling you CRTs now because I do not how can I guarantee you know that's what I'm like with the other ones I've had ones shit one of them worked for like eight I had a museum by a PVM for oh it was over $6,000 and it worked for like two months and they ran at 24 hours a day and then it just stopped that's why one of those 20 30s 25 30s 25 30 yeah and I and I was trying to you know coach them through how to fix it but at the same time so I guess like surely hope and now they never asked for their money back or anything but that's why I feel I want to go back hopefully one day and next time and look at it but the same time it's like that's can happen that's why we're telling thing that is like notoriously pain in the ass to work on you know it's yeah no Steve warranty it'll pay extra how much for the Steve warrants oh I warrant that it's a fucking CRT and it just may die tomorrow who knows man they're something they're unpredictable man yeah so there's let me tell you something I found this funny list that you're worried I was gonna maybe tease out or say too much about your video but I think I just googled a list or googled like the best consumer CRTs what who is the authority on this there is no authority but somehow some some doofus with a blog gets his article put to the top and it's not it's like all just chopped pictures from like Imgur you know it's nothing good and it's the Toshiba 27 yeah and on his list is like the first one is it's a flat-screen Trinitron but it's like the shitty one it's not the good one like every FS it's like an FS 100 or so yes FS 120 that's the number one on the list and I'm just saying oh my gosh FS 120 and then you just gonna it's a good TV it's right but it's not the best it's not the best there's better but there's like a better one that if you want to say this is the best then they're like there's a better one of that but it was it just got to me thinking like I'm there is it's a hard to tell when especially with the consumer set which ones are the good ones in which ones are a kind of turds can you tell you look at you can you share the screen can you pull up the list can the audience see as well I would gosh I didn't even have the list let's it had so many ads I know you're forward here we go you're 40 and you can't work a computer I can do this right yeah okay just have to like wait a second here let's see yeah look at this and this is I mean okay oh let's see here how do I do this there's a button in the middle to share screen not on my I does it don't say share yeah let's see there you go see and it got rid of me best of both worlds yeah here we go I gotta put my glasses on now all right yeah I'm not sure what exactly I can hear the music now this the first time I put the music is a by the way it's not yeah you to put out that creator the did you see that the creator link worth with the music that you could they had all this free music for you that you could put on your videos and stuff have you seen this no but hang on a second I need to get you back on the screen cuz you just disappeared you don't you don't they can hear me okay let's see here well they've got a they've got something looks like what is that an M4 right there it looks like let's see if I can pull this up a little bit more I don't know maybe I can just go to full screen somehow pop out no wrong button okay all right let's do that I see you at the bottom maybe I can make myself small here you figure that out I'm gonna I'm gonna talk to the audience all right there we go there we go now we got it's kind of going and here we go yes okay P O P O 17 asks how do you both feel about people calling consumer set TVs or some fairly uncommon CT CRT's holy grails yeah that's kind of stupid yeah I gotta be honest with you Bob Bob called it he said it a couple years ago he was just like you know what the best CRT is the best CRT is the one that works yeah and he's in he's a hundred percent right the best CRT is one that you have and one that works and but these are pretty nice to although that no that's not an M4 what they have that's like a little no no see here's the thing 8045 there is that what that this this was just showed up for Retro Kingpin so they get some free love here for their list I don't know how this was this shows up first on the Googles in my area and so I was just looking through it and yeah here it is look at that's gotta be reverse order come on man you can buy these all day yeah but that's not go back up go back up to that to the the banner image though go go up to the top that JVC there that's the JVC I found at the the recycling center that had the burn in and I wanted it so bad but it had so much burn it was like a 750 line tube yeah oh such a beautiful monitor it just way too much burn in couldn't do it but anyway carry on sorry no you're right that's a good one the bourbons in me and I'm talking I'm sorry it's fine that's what we're supposed to do here so I mean right like if you're gonna ask honestly I mean and again we're just having fun here tonight but this this would be an acceptable and a good like level but you it's not it's not really fair to say that this is a grail unless it's like brand new but but at the same time like you said there's always you know you want to have one that works and there's all that definitely so there's not like we're not hating on people for loving their CRTs or for finding one and thinking it's amazing that's cool but at the same time it's in reality it's not it's a look it's a Trinitron right plus it's got component why that keeps going a while it's got stereo speakers which is nice actually or not you don't have to hook up any computer monitors or anything like that it's a fine TV I used to have a few FS series TVs and they're very good TVs but to put them number one is kind of is a bit is a bit much in my opinion yeah not to sound like a gatekeeper right I don't want to be accused of being a gatekeeper but now here we go 14 all right now we got an M2 all right it's kind of random well of course it's a PBM so yeah it looks good but the funny thing is to who fucking wrote this is there a byline go go up this is like I think it was AI right be an article son no reasonable person on this planet looks at an M2 and then looks at an FS 120 and goes I gotta have that FS 120 like no one oh this is fun I hope it's out I hope he the retro kingpin AI I want him to be watching this fuck you retro kingpin all right I'll say it Jvcd series next all right fine congrats you still have an FS 120 ahead of this what are you doing I'm not know why that all line D series what are you doing the 32 inch I've done a lot of that that one but this is another one that's confusing to me 400 or the 40 what are you doing it's not even look at the picture it's not even a darn no it's not even a CRT what is that it isn't it's one of those one of those slim CRT what is that it's but it's it's flat it's 40 inches and it has like HDMI and scales everything up to 1080 or something but it's so funny because it's just a generic picture from like the Sony the Sony like news paper and 2003 it's a Best Buy Sunday circular ad from 2002 yeah I tell you what with the baseball I mean it's you could put you could you could put a pen in Stevie Wonder's hand and he could draw a straighter line than that fucking TV there you go folks shows over shows over punchline exceeded there you go oh my goodness look at this for a time for the time this is offered blah blah blah be prepared what you prepared to pay well over a thousand dollars for these TVs I mean absolutely nobody is spending any money on that television these are these are the kind of TVs where it's like please please come get this TV you can find these well they try to sell them and it's like no I'll you know it's worse than those you know it's worse than those is like the 55 inch Hitachi you know projection TVs yeah that way like two tons you know that's an ikigami makes the list how about that yeah welcome welcome how many ikigamis do you have Steve well there's one over there and then there's a like a boneyard of a thousand parts of them I think there's just one working one here and it's a 14 inch one I hate to spoil it but there are no ikigamis in my upcoming episode but that's not for lack of trying I I want to wish you know you got one I could have sent you this one for I needed one well take a pictures of it for you well do you have a couple videos I'm just gonna steal your videos that's probably not good quality that's probably shot with my like 2015 cell phone have you seen my shit it's terrible okay does it matter focus yeah doesn't matter I never I never fucking said focus focus I never like Bob I know here we go now we got a contender here we got a we got an OEV 143 there we go yeah yeah yeah we sure do um what what do you know these stickers sorry I do not know why every time I click on that it's like as it's typically you'll what does it say you'll typically see stickers of the use on the actual monitors to not be used near flammables like what it cut this is like something I'd expect well that's AI to write it is that's AI speak we found the first AI CRT article or it is here's your here's your homeboy right here oh yeah 30 20 30 now I was about to buy one of these cuz somebody kept dropping the price on them I bet they already sold it it's like $400 they are asking plus 50 to ship wow no shit really mm-hmm yeah yeah I tell you what's beautiful is that that hitting of that 1920 I feel like I'm back I feel like I'm back in the prohibition era drinking some bathtub whiskey you know it very is that even wait oh this is a no this is the bvm 945 945 by the way wait a minute go back is that really the model number because I have a 9045 and it's not bvm it's pvm yeah there's some like that but there are there's a yeah okay let's see European one 20 this is a terrible come on come on dude there's there's a lot better there's this is not yeah I will say I will say as an owner of a 14 and six they're shit on a lot and they shouldn't be they're good monitors they're really really good monitors there it is the tea that's exactly the one I was looking at too damn that's a beautiful monitor the better one there's a couple better ones too oh no it's not this is the this is the 550 TVL model if that might not even be right that could be wrong there was another one is it the one that had the card slot in it that's the one on the back yeah now here's one here's a good one here's a good one any see and this is the high definition ht oh look a game oh hey an actual game but is that third strike it looks like and I don't know what the Sony high scan come on the Sony high scan oh man oh so of the is this all of them is a black yeah that's it no so she as fuck there it is there's the CC minus CRT everybody knows I feel about that one there's tries shitty as fuck tries there's a tricep he said I'm here to pick up my C minus TV he came about three weeks ago that's cool at least he had a good sense of humor about it oh yeah alright so of this list Steve where would be right no not good like what would I mean the best one if you could have one that was in the best shape would be this one oh yeah cuz this will do 29 inch 29 inch it'll do 480p there's a hundred inputs it's a great monitor but man those things people on these don't realize how many capacitors there are in them which actually do you want to see some capacitors everybody are we ready to switch over oh my god before getting excited let me see here before I get too much into that let me make sure this is some pretty lousy uh special effects for a show here so let's yeah we're gonna not watch ourselves but what I'll do is I'll try to get this list pulled up in the uh that I that this is the work I actually did today on the bank of Olson mx-5 uh mx-5 whatever a thousand I can't even think about it now oops just a minor observation that Steve's on incognito mode wonder what's going on over there that's not incognito mode that's dark mode isn't it okay I always try to use this dark mode because it hurts my eyes but I wish that's what it is I want to be on incognito mode I don't want you guys like looking at what I'm looking at yeah okay let's see look at this this is see I have my own record here of what I uh what I've been working on stream is still going okay so and I you know what Steve I'm gonna make a confession I kind of skipped around today's cathode ray podcast yeah um you probably got into this a bit with the bangin olfson but but who who does this belong to and do you know how they acquired it um yeah let me kind of scratch is it anyone I would know or is it just like a random no it's no one you would know it's just somebody that's a uh client that um owned it and brought it in nobody you would know just somebody from New Jersey named Raphael jersey so represent I'm from New Jersey represent man very nice I don't know what I've keep doing I'm trying to get the uh it's like it this is the tv um and these are all the photographs so when I when I click on him does it does it disappear like no it comes up is it oh it did right there see that's what I'm saying like it's disappear well no now I could see it right let's see every time I click it disappears look at that look at that look at all those imports at those imports all right all right hang on a second I've got to get this to where it looks better than this I can't I got to get this off the screen sharing and I'm going to do it a different way if I could figure out how to do stop stop screen sharing but I don't know if I can now that I've started scarred inputs man that's can ever uh yeah so I mean you got here's the smooth jazz you got the scarred inputs and I'm I'm just this thing had eight boards in it and this cluster is just the first oh oh let's see what what's going to show up next no battery there whoops is that what that is is that for a battery that's so this is what you find under those capacitors that's that's capacitor jizz right there did it come from did it come from the subwoofer is that no yeah yeah the subwoofers the subwoofers juice that out no man there was so there was a bunch of those hide in there that looked like that like capacitors or so many I have replaced I got it down there I only need four more to replace in it but it's uh it's all there gosh why is it not working there we go um there's the main board you see that yeah yeah look at all those cables stupid cable insane insane so this is another couple set of boards uh can you all right right now can you see the picture yeah I can see the picture okay okay because my this is this is board like five now right right now that you can see like the neck board right there yeah I can I can see the neck board okay yeah these are all the I don't know why it's just thrown all these pictures at a randomly I didn't get to organize them there's 95 of them in this folder oh my god so this is the main board decapped where I removed all like 60 caps from it uh let's see if I can find that's what it looks like with all the caps in it before god that's before that's after that's a laser active look at that look at all those caps all right all right now can you check the chat are we really on if people can see it yeah people were watching it yeah okay I just want to make sure because on my screens the people are enamored right now I did that or just your name right like don't get electron ash says cat and jizz is my weekend name sorry well you know you should keep your wang out of the dno yeah why don't you keep that to yourself electron ash oh there's the wangs there's there's the don there's the twin wangs I'm glad you liked my joke right oh there's so many good ones look at that poor one out for two random horses in Denmark I know I was like oh gosh by the way this is a terrible thing to say but I remember I remember being in high school and walking into some dude's house and they're saying they can't hold on they can't they're saying they can't see it Steve hold on that's what I was saying oh now I can okay you know what I was looking at the wrong square because I'm looking at the discord okay so now we can see it right so there's what we're talking about look guys I need to fix this because you guys need to see all these pictures I've got to get this off of uh all right I'm gonna turn off this thing uh oh hang on it's okay I don't know what what's all that all right I'm back right let's see I could yeah I'm back you can you see you can you hear anything I I can hear you I can see you I can so here's what I'm moving around shit there we go okay so here's what I've got to do I've got to move you a little bit around here and then I've got to put the square next to you so we're gonna we're gonna minimize that a little bit and then we'll try yeah hashtag demonetized you're right demonetized I know right we got demonetized in the first five minutes when you were dropping f bombs probably oh that you you listen uh slander slander you said that last time I said that last time it wasn't true so I'm gonna try to pull these pictures in the screen with us so that everybody can see them I'm going for my third drink wow I haven't even counted I'm just I'm gonna have to just go by the bottle all right just icing it and going okay so I see I'm gonna put you back here and guys you can see he's here we are gonna take him and just throw him in the lovely little background again and we'll we'll walk through these pictures together and we'll let Roger just be minimized for a second did you hear that yeah that was a good pop all right this is again what we're talking about I'm so sorry for the last five minutes of you probably staring at nothing so there's the front we'll skip through this is what Roger was doing over I did think he'd get to see this but this is the input board and there's actually three boards all bundled together in this thing and you'll get to see him broken out here in a little bit I'm just gonna move you there's the yeah the the capacitor just there's the capacitor all right there's there's that there's the main boards now this is the tuner board like it's also got some power elements in it and it was dirty but it was actually stuffed under where my cursor is like pointing in there it was stuffed under there it was like secret boards everywhere all right there's the decad there's it is this is the main board look at all those caps and then the last one was without caps under why that one get away there there it is without caps how many was that on that one board it was like 60 wow uh that was the most for sure on any of the boards now the other board would have been more there's the ding dongs on the uh back of the tube and it is a Hitachi tube so if anybody was wondering about it it's Hitachi so if you find a Hitachi CRT from the early 2000s it will have a similar look I mean it's got to sound pretty good no yeah those are what those whatever Wolfers or what it yeah I don't know yeah it's gonna sound great this was interesting though it was extremely slim it is wow for a 26 inch screen or whatever yeah super super thin look how thin look how tiny the neck board is and that's a 1989 tube the neck really yeah yeah the neck is so short yeah wow so that's uh how I mean how was the I imagine the geometry was pretty bad I didn't honestly check it too much the geometry before I uh no I just tested it and run for a little bit and then I was like I'm not even that worried about it I'm going to because going here and start recapping and then you took a bunch of dick pics and that was it yeah exactly here they are hopefully they don't pop up here in the middle of nowhere in my incognito file so this was behind the input board I told you there's sandwich together yeah see how they're sandwiched right there yeah there's the input board right there that black spot where the yep scarred is and the scarred input yeah and that's the back side and I just took these pictures so I could remember where to plug all these things into well yeah there's so many look at all those wires look at that as a mess the fucking mess I know I'm like do I think I can get this thing back together who the hell designed that thing man what the oh god more cabling that is so unlike a sony pvm right I mean because there's like a rhyme and reason to every wire and well this was the 80s so there were some that were bad yeah that's true that's true but yeah I just kept taking pictures of me unplugging stuff oh this was a nice battery what is that what's that battery there for to keep date and time information so it's there there's that nasty board that was underneath pulled out and then we're getting back I don't know okay electron ash says in 1989 that would have cost 975 pounds I don't know if that's like the introductory MSRP but huh so this I thought I had more pictures I do have more pictures I don't know why I went and loaded them okay so that was something I wanted to show some of the servicing I actually had done here down here the first board I got I did this bundle first first board I did was this top board up here that's the smaller one at the angle and it had to be recapped now this one this is the back of the skirt and it was just nasty oh my god yeah that was just how it looks so much corrosion look at that yeah it's just leaking gross it just had bad I don't know what there what was going on but that's what it literally looked like was that and that's known to eventually break the solder joints will break so there's that board with all the caps removed new caps installed right there and then let's see again the new caps there's the battery board now why don't you can you tell me like what it what the the shape of the tube was like when you first got it before you started doing all the recaps I mean what would it look like I mean it looks pretty good I showed it off some in the stream with yeah I played video of how it was no it was one I did by myself when you were oh you did a stream that's right I'm sorry yeah so you can see it in there how it looks but this this right here was on the next board and there was just random spots you'd find where they'd be a dead cap exploded and gone all nasty so all like that would have to be fixed now there's three bag caps that came out of that board the a lot of those caps weren't bad so that one that's the thing I told this guy a certain price to recap the entire thing and then another price to do this kind of a job and that's what he opted for where I would recap like about three quarters of it or half of it right and then go through and like this is a new cap I had to install from an old one that was bad this is the bottom side after I repaired all that this is the back side where all that corrosion and that's the cap that blew up that's what it looks like now after I fixed it all that's how you cleaned it up it looks nice yeah I had to reflow that solder and clean it out looks nice there's that battery again I ran some tests on it it tested fine so I just put it back that's the this was after the first run of reflow and solder I took pictures but then you can see here where even on these pins there was still some shoddy looking spots so I went and redid it again and uh you could see that there where I kind of did that on those fixed those last few and now it's I mean that's a night and day compared to what it was so that'll be good well let I mean so Bang and Oliveson like the only reason I know about Bang and Oliveson TVs is because Louis raves about them John Lineman raves about them you know they weren't sold here obviously so I the only the only thing I know about Bang and Oliveson is the you know it's like the high-end speakers you get in a luxury car you know I don't I don't know them much for TV like are they good TVs like are they yeah they're supposed to be like the high-end things like that's the thing that they went they went for thousands so they got up to like 10 grand I know some of their higher-end models in the 90s got up to like $10,000 wow and like they were supposed to be super just like all in one system it's what they came to stands and they came with proprietary hardware so okay so we we so in the 80s we'd compare this to like a like a profile monitor like a solid profile you know that came with its own stand and you could hook up virtually anything to it here's all the caps from that from that one board Jesus look at that wow that's all the caps from the deflection board hmm yeah I can't say I've ever seen a Bang and Oliveson so it's it's um yeah it was this the first time I've ever seen one and ever ever been in one and worked on one or anything and uh it's it's got I mean it's it's more work than a normal pvm it's crazy it's a lot of hardware I mean how did you how did you even source the caps I mean was it were they all pretty easily they're pretty easy honestly I'm going to put you back in here and we'll get you back on screen but it's it was pretty easy because you can still get the caps from from Mauser yeah and uh or digikey so you can get those easily but there were a couple odd sizes that I didn't stick that I don't store I have I had out of all the caps I replaced which was about a hundred I only didn't have four values I or two values one was like a 50 volt 330 micro farad and the other one was something even more odd 250 volt 33 micro farad and they're just different odd ones that I don't normally see but all the rest of them I just had here so I took them out of my stacks of caps and replace them from that so it's not uh I'll go back and after you know after it uh it's done I'll I'll refill the stock back stock here of parts especially after the d20 job too that'll probably run me out of like all my stock parts I'll say you'll have nothing left yeah that's usually what happens and I have to put in about an order for 150 bucks for the parts each time I'll want some month the first thing that that struck me with the bang and olfson was the you know they've got that the screen they've got the tube but then they've got another screen in front of the tube is that glass yeah it's glass so it's an overlay holy shit wow and I was talking to Lewis a little bit about this and um actually I had um I also talked to John Lineman on a one-on-one call for a while this week about some stuff and we were talking about this because he knows more about him than I did yeah and he uh there's one model that has a curtains like theater curtains that over yourself that go like over yourself it was fucking Danish they're so weird because like this and it closes a curtain and it's behind the glass in front of the tube those days and yeah they're they're super heavy TVs are super heavy so I bet oh yeah how did that even get there how did that even get to your I told well I told the guy he would have to bring it and um but I have to get it done by retro world so I can take it back up to Jersey and give it to him on the way so that's going to be the problem is I'm going to have to well it's not that big of a deal it's just going to be moving it for a second yeah because you got to rent a van for that right yeah yeah so I've got a van I've got all that lined up van life I think the thing that that you know because you got the tube and then you got the glass panel in front of the tube all that does is invite glare you know so you couldn't actually enjoy that television in a living room with a bunch of windows there's no way no there's absolutely no way you can tell so much glare it you'd have to be in a controlled environment it have to be in a basement it have to be in a room with blackout curtains like there's no way you could you could conceivably watch that thing in a normal viewing environment I don't know I think that the idea was to have bangs banging off and just design your whole house pretty much I mean just I mean right it's just like the classic Scandinavian just like yeah it is it's amazing we're just over the top you know but I mean that's cool it's cool you got to work on something that unique you know I mean never seen anything like that in the States yeah yeah well that's this was the one this was the this the funny thing to me is that if banging off so could have pulled this TV off it would be the one that everybody would want because there's a scar didn't put in its s video and it's nice and it's gaudy and it's um but the way it looks honestly is a similar to an arcade for a game experience um it's a shorter tube so it doesn't have as good edge geometry no I it can it must have terrible geometry I would think so that's really see when I start looking at that stuff I don't really get too worried about it till after I do servicing right I don't really want to adjust it I did that with one set and I was like god bless me why did I do that I did one I it was it was the one set it was the set that had like a hundred things wrong with it and I bought off ebay and I just made it a point to try to get it back to a point where you could see the game and it was in this not squished and stuff but then when I replaced the caps the values were so bad that it took me like twice as long to get it back to where it should have been if I'd have just left it alone and not messed with the geometry before I read because I made I just took to make it look good with the bad caps I made it I just stretched and yeah why even bother with the bad I just did it for the video and I was like why did I do that after that well it was took me forever I did the same thing in the tv over my shoulder here that's one of the consumer sets that I do a comparison with and I I went on ebay I didn't have a remote when I got I found it next to a dumpster so when I you know got it got the remote and everything and I'm like cool I could do the service menu adjustments I got it tweaked and tweaked and tweaked and tweaked and I was like all right fine you know what it's not half bad it's not half bad and then time passes I acquire more tv's I write more of the script and I'm like all right now I'm at the part where I need to shoot more b-roll with this consumer set that I adjusted and I turn it on and it's like even worse I'm like what the fuck and I realize oh this thing needs a recap desperately so I just I made the adjustments again I actually got it looking better the next time and shot my couple minutes of b-roll that I needed and like all right I'm done with this thing back to the curb you go but I will say for the audience that's watching I know you think that banging all of a sudden is a good consumer set but I am going I am going to show off in my opinion what I believe to be the best consumer set I'm looking at it right now the best consumer television I've ever seen with my own two not two eyes it it is just an exceptional tell you know what it is Steve you've seen it it is an exceptional television remember what it is oh I sent you a video of it and as soon as I sent you a video of it you said I I have to have that television you said I have to have it now I've got too much whiskey I'm gonna go back and you're probably right oh yeah yeah all right now you remember now you remember let's just say it's got it's got every input imaginable it's even got rgb um it's fs 120 yep it's it's an fs 120 I just turned the camera at the fucking fs 100 hey look at here I think that if I do this uh there oh no the dog oh what there's an fs 120 now there it is yeah there's an fs 120 in the shop right there so you know what it's a good tv yeah it's a very popular one but no it's I will say it it is a sony but it's a it's a beautiful tv I just playing with it I'm just like you you can you can do geometry adjustments through just the general menu like it's incredible okay it's incredible you could adjust you could adjust the yoke through the no way really it's yes yes it's it is the best consumer tube I've ever seen in my life I I like and now no one is good like five people are going to get it and then no one else will after after your video as you guys gotta watch the first five people it'll be like the whiskey drop you'll have to be the first five guys in line right here's the funny part is I am going to sell this thing and I'm curious how much money it's going to go for um and it's it's a price where I think I can ship it I mean it's only a 14 inch tv so I'm going to ship it um because I have I have too much too much space for it but um you need to I don't have enough space for it yeah you're going to have to just uh you're going to have to just rent a van and meet me in Kentucky that's what it is dude I'm throwing it out there man I'm down we're going to pick up seven hours from me that's fine it's about seven hours from me too it's about seven hours from me too yeah it's right in the middle we're gonna we're gonna pick up Zach we're gonna drive down to our volt are we're gonna go drive down to Corbin pick his ass up we're gonna uh get a room at like Louisville get a couple rooms that'd be like a good hub you know there's an Evan Williams in uh Louisville there's a distillery right there um and then we're gonna just we're gonna we're gonna paint the town man we're gonna hit them all we're gonna hit Woodford we're gonna hit Blantons we're gonna hit Buffalo Trace we're gonna hit Jim Beam we're gonna hit them all Makersmark the Makersmark distillery tour I've done twice it's the best distillery tour I've ever been on even though I don't like Makersmark I still think it's a great distillery tour um I think that would be fun I think if we did if we did like a live stream from that a couple nights like oh my god so many people would tune into that that'd be a blast oh yeah from uh I know but I don't know how I have enough problem getting the live show going from here oh we could just we could just record it you know yeah we'll definitely do recording stuff yeah would you like that would be fun I want to do some stuff like that I actually that was one of the things I had was talking to John about was trying to go over to Europe to do some CRT work next year oh Cole you are down here I didn't know you were down here international international Steve the international yeah Steve Nutter international man of repairs look Bob's in the chat he said he'd fly out and meet us oh yeah man bring Bob out that'd be fun yeah Bob look into flights to Louisville man we just need to pick you up at the airport that'd be fun just needs to do Bob I'm giving you free pub by the way Bob's giving me so much free pub over the last like two months I can't complain so I remember when you were nervous that I wrote the article about your and about on your birthday oh my my fucking Michael Jackson video yeah who would have that Michael Jackson video man I like that that's my I know I love that video but it no one's watched it and who would have thought who would have thought making a video about a pedophile wouldn't go over well but I don't know but you know it's funny you know since since Bob's in the chat Bob um Bob's a pro's pro because I was desperate like I needed I had it I won't say who it was but I had an expert witness quote unquote expert witness picked out and I was just chasing this guy down for weeks I was like dude can you just give me just give me two minutes on an iPhone like I don't care just give me give me something and I wouldn't get any response wouldn't get any response wouldn't get any response and I was trying people left and right you know I was just like hey can you maybe do this do that and for whatever reason people couldn't do it and you want to talk about remember Doug Flutie against Miami just like in the back of the end zone just like he's like five eight and he's like but just like the biggest Hail Mary ever of all time that was my Hail Mary was Bob Neil I was like Bob can you give me a couple minutes and and this fucker was like no problem and he just got up did it and within a half hour I had 12 minutes of video and he's like ah if it sucks let me know I'll redo it and I'm watching I'm like this is perfect it's perfect thanks Bob I'll edit it don't worry about it and I did it and it worked seamlessly and I was just like fuck that dude is a pros pro like he is really really awesome so I'm forever in his debt well but anyways yeah well I'll uh I'll I'll that's one of the things I'm looking forward to is hanging out the end of the month I'm jealous man I wish I could hang out with you guys well why don't you just come to I can't fly out to harford tell the wife hey listen uh don't know it's short notice but you got the kids for the weekend right you're good well that's what I was sitting down with my wife I was like yeah so like if I went to Europe you'd be with the kids for like 10 days by yourself yeah right right oh so cool I don't know so yeah Bob uh Bob did you see Steve's uh wood veneered uh sharp you I mean that that's your that's your tube man you got you got to get that you got to get that away from Steve it doesn't work that's our you'll fix it you're you're the I don't know I never I didn't I don't know anybody who fixes CR oh look look at him he's I don't know what he's talking about to hard for it I know I know you can crash on my floor you crash you crashed in my king size bed and that'll be really weird I did I'm not gonna lie I did look I went on google flights and I was like I have flat to hard for it and I looked and nonstop wasn't too bad it was like 400 bucks and I was like yeah you're probably so bad swing that but that's not bad maybe maybe next year maybe next year oh look Raphael is in the chat he said that he bought the mx in September 2020 oh awesome were we supposed to talk about anything else I can't remember not really we were just below me so it's like shooting the ship well you said well we're now wait a minute we said some of the best CRTs we went through king retro once yeah right clearly king retro the worst ones king king king retro was firing on all cylinders speaking of that that's 120 cylinders because back fired on all cylinders then there's there's the best CRT ever made according to king retro and there's cold just cold red dog hair and parking on it and he's got himself some some kind of poor layup from the the little girl's bed he's gonna rip the eyes out of it it's like a horror movie he's ripped the eyes out of every it's what he's doing looking at he's ripping the eyes out of that sheep don't eat those eyeballs oh he thinks he's big stuff staying up all late like this well we know the best CRTs we're looking at it right now but what about the worst CRTs what do you think because that was the title of the stream I know and we're we're we've bamboozled well I do believe that that gosh I hate to put it there but that I don't know man to start for me it's like you get into the flat screen stuff and it gets worse yeah especially when it's not a flat like a new like a brand you know or something that's just okay gosh some of those the ones the best place to find bad ones is the uh is the is the uh the CRT show I go to or the the the yeah there's a game convention that has a bunch of about a hundred of them set up yeah I know I wish I could pull up another screen and play through that video or something but that video was great I watched you that whole thing and I was like that thing's a piece of shit that thing's a piece yeah that's basically what it is is everything's everything's really a piece of junk uh there's a guy Eric in the chat he says those slim lg ones yeah actually they were they were slim they were slim uh sam songs uh those were garbage those were hot yeah yeah those weren't good I was trying to see uh like if I pull up that video maybe I'll just like play it and like laugh and tell you what I see if I oh yeah bob just brought it up the the samsung ultra flat yeah that was it yeah that's what I was thinking the the next the next on them were super short almost like that bang it almost looks like I mean there was like lcd's I think and stuff that was dlp tv's that were bigger you know it was yeah it doesn't look good at all oh no um let's see then you get into all the the digital crts with the hdmi inputs those are you know those are here we go I found it I found it let's see I know there's gotta be some bad ones in here that I can oh Matthew Reeves in the chat shitting on Orion listen listen pal Orion's not bad okay so here's well Orion's not that bad but here's here's like one I really don't like there's a toshiba that's four by three that's flat screen that only does composite and it has a dvd player vhs player in it so that's the kind of thing that would make this like a shit tv because for some reason they don't have even a component video input in it I'm surprised it even has a positive but because because a lot of those tv's with the dvd and vhs they only had rf because they were like why would you need the input because you already got the you know you already got all your devices yeah you got them right there why would you even need it you already got all your devices you need yeah so there's the the thing about like I know that you could say like an Orion or something like that's crappy uh but they also get the tubes in them are pretty good because you can use them for arcades and stuff generally so I'm looking at I'm looking at this video and it is literally half fs 120s the best tv the best crt all of this is literally the most prevalent because it's like that's what I'm just saying it's like oh another sony fs it's a 20 or a 27 if that's all I'm seeing right now and then it's connected to a nintendo 64 look at this oh look it's from two oh it's a 27 fs 120 that's literally what I'm looking at is a label yeah and every one of them is hooked up through uh composite video and every single one you're like you know if it gets over 27 inches the geometry is really bad yeah oh yeah well bobby dammit bobby you want bobby bobby there's a good one boom power there it is um now see and then there's some other ones like philips and rca made some that were good but you can't uh but they also made some really terrible ones yeah i'm trying to find out yeah there's a i'm looking at a magnivox flat screen one that was well i love that you're watching this video and none of us are watching it that's really good that's a great stream steve good job you guys can go watch the video and you got the guy who's just watching a youtube video on a live stream and then you got the other guy who can't fucking focus a camera during an interview two 40 year old shitheads who can't figure out the shit right i mean i don't know dinex you want to know shitty tell me dinex oh man dinex listen listen buddy listen i got right you see that that's a day woo my friend yeah there you go that's it suck oh that thing is going to make its debut and in a few weeks i can't wait it's got to shoot that a roll can't wait oh man no i didn't know that oh man boom how are that boy right oh that's funny yeah i don't know about yeah i that's probably the the hardest thing to deal with is later model tv's that don't have very good inputs but this guy got really excited about the day woo p o 17 day woo korean you know it's funny about the day woo uh i opened it up and it has an lg tube in it lg life is good life is good it used to be gold star yeah now it's now it's lg so i thought that was interesting it's a piece of shit but it is what it is yes we're just so we were talking about the worst so let's go back to that trip that was a you went to a gaming convention it was in like nashville or something wasn't it yeah that's one that's in uh it's in well it's outside of nashville and it's it's um around halloween okay all right and you looked at a a shit ton of crts in that little demo area and this year i think i'm gonna tear him apart you're gonna tear him apart you're just gonna walk and you walk around and be like i'm gonna take that one apart a little bit this thing this thing this thing's this thing's piece of shit why do you still own this like put it in the dumpster like it's not yeah it's not worth anybody's time i'm gonna go yeah because he always shows up with ones and in like five of them just don't work when they get over there but there was this one man there was this one that i loved and it stopped working the last time i was there it was a fisher a fisher a fisher fisher tv i was like if i and it had a bird is the emblem um the fuck is a fisher now i gotta google what is a fisher who in the chat has had a fisher electronic i had a quasar anybody remember quasar captain quasar from captain quasar remember him but no i had a quasar television quasar is your television what the fuck who owned that that's a good baby they had a good looking uh tube on them no that can't be right fisher no hang on i gotta get a sip of water to be right back that's okay take your time fisher communications i've never heard of this tv brand steve you made this up you absolutely made this up all right well he's doing that i'm gonna talk to the uh since i am a man of the people unlike steve nutter uh i'm going to uh i'm gonna talk to the people here what do we got hitachi was dope wish they still made home tech hitachi was never dope let's just be honest let's call a spade a spade what hitachi's good i've i i've still got a good plasma hitachi oh you want to get into plasmas i'm talking about like when i think hitachi i think those big ass 60 inch rear projection television that took up your entire wall like the very first hd television yeah those are awful yeah awful my my hitachi won't die i bought it in 2007 what are you guys talking about funai any funai tv is dumpy but they're fun to mess with what is a funai oh i think that electron ash seen fisher i don't know funai is just a brand well apex chinese crt has a panasonic tube apex my wife okay funny story about apex apex was a walmart brand yeah um and uh when i met my wife we moved in together uh she her tv that she had in college was an apex and that was my very first quote-unquote game room was set up with an apex television and i hooked everything up to that that thing all it had was a composite input but it was a fine little tv um yeah man apex tv's and you can find you can go on craigslist you can get them for free why not pick one up they're fine all right sorry dad still has a big panasonic rear projection tv in the living room you have an intervention with your dad i remember my mom bought you know that gosh it was a i swear it was like a texas instruments tv or something it was one of those rear projection hd and myse and i only think it went up to 1080i right right i don't even know if it had hd and my input in it but i think it did but man that's that tv that thing hated that tv um it's united states based subsidiary funai corporation based in torrance california makes markets funai products in the us strong with funai licensed brands including philips magnivox emerson radio and sanjo funai is the media supplier of electronics to walmart and sam's club stores in the us so really moral the stories walmart and sam's club i mean they're responsible for the downfall of the crt at least the quality crt i mean they they were put now just just garbage and someone put out an orion tv i remember for christmas one year i did get an orion tv uh from my parents i remember they got it at walmart i think they spent 150 bucks on it and it had only rf that was it in 1990 fucking seven it still only had rf and i i remember i had to go out and go buy rf switches for all of my consoles like n64 dreamcast well that wasn't out till 99 but later i had to get a rf switch for the dreamcast because of the shitty orion tv um yeah that was a piece of shit that was a really bad one i think we all can just agree that the worst crt's uh came from walmart i think that's pretty much universal yeah well probably so yeah the best crt is the fs 120 yeah the worst crt anything you buy at walmart um that's pretty much yeah yeah that's that that's it that's all that's i'm seeing sylvania in the chat that's a fun uh yeah i think they still make life bulbs or something that like what an evening what an evening man we've covered it all i know what do you guys want to talk about in the chat what's your keep giving us your terrible uh crt or crt experiences yeah you know we spent so much time talking about good crts we don't we don't really focus on on the bad ones uh but you know i don't want to sound like a gatekeeper yeah i know you know like if you if you if you're on craigslist and you're just looking for a crt because you want to play duck hunt and you you know you need a good 15 kilohertz too um just get whatever's available man you can get you can get the sylvanians you can get the orions you can get the quasars and all that shit just just pick it up you can get it all for free if it works great crt man go for it now speaking of rgb modifications yeah i do have to do an rgb mod on a large sony next month there's someone just mentioned that reminded me that now there's somebody that has a uh um a kit now a kit like a all-in-one kit board and everything to mod tv's and he's supposed to be sending me one so we'll see this is supposed to be for this television uh so i'm interested in seeing that it's hard some other people so they used it and uh so there is there you know what someone did bring up you know are there any consumer tv's that are holy grails my holy grail right now is a sony sw1 it only came out in japan it is a steve get this it is a 480i 16 by 9 television yeah they made a pvm of it too yeah they did and uh yeah they did it was a 600 line it was the sw uh something or another i can't remember but um but they made a commercial tube and evidently you could easily modify it to take rgb um i would love to have that tv just for the fucking just just for the laughs you know just like and i'm trying to think like what would look good 480i widescreen and i'm like maybe the we maybe i could play the we on it and it would look pretty good um maybe i could throw like some ps2 on there or some uh some old dvds yeah some laser discs some oh yeah some oh yeah some old laser discs there we go but what i want to do is i'm looking at my far wall back here i you you generally i mean you follow my twitter and shit like you you've seen i have like a corner where i have that kv 1217 the rf sony the wood veneer sony yeah with like with like i have like a couple shelves below like an atari and a famicom and then the other line the other corner i have all my nintendo tv games and shit in the middle i'm putting in a bar okay and with you know i can keep all my um you know all my my bourbon bottles and what not and then in the center instead of having like a big fucking you know flat panel television i want to have that 480i widescreen sony i think that would be so funny um yeah but i would i would figure out a way to like maybe it would be like a wall yeah like like like put it into the wall have it sitting on a shelf and then run the cable behind the paneling you can then have like a blow your hole in your wall just to add uh yeah and have like a scart connection sitting there and i could just pop a scart connection there i think that would be so rad that would be pretty awesome to have just a like a tv resisted something to have a weird just scart input on your wall somewhere like your fucking your normally friends come over and you're like you stick a nintendo into it they're like what the fuck it's super nintendo into it they're like oh that's rad and what's cool about those tv's is they are 16 by nine but you know they've got a 4 3 button so you can just switch it automatically to 4 3 um but they're tiny i think like the biggest one was i think the biggest one was 20 inches yeah i think i think they came in 16 and 20 inches i think those were the two but you gotta you gotta factor in the fact that it's 16 by nine if it's 20 inches you know at 4 3 it's more like a probably like a 16 17 inch tv so it's pretty small but i still think it would just for the fucking meme value would be hilarious that would be good i'm still i'm still looking for like the uh the shrek tv even that's pointless and uh i just want a five one for like three or fifty bucks or something yeah well i don't know man good luck with that like some grandma is gonna put it up somewhere one day maybe but people are you know those mickey mouse tv's and the batman's are terrible though they're terrible tv's but they're going for a lot just for the just for the the laughs yeah just for the the same thing with the when lazy game reviews put out the that hot wheels uh computer crt the computer monitor oh my god that thing shot up in value the second he put out that video um yeah the disney slash dreamworks etc tv's are such a meme i agree man like they're they're uh they're awesome what what's your guys's opinion on sharp tv's i mean sharp's just another it's just a fucking it's like uh yeah it's like another brand that's in that i don't know what to even call it there's not that many things that are like that anymore now you used to have your really high end stuff and then you're obviously slow in and i guess you'd put sharp in the middle you wouldn't put them really in they probably had a couple high end units but um i i kind of group sharp in with like it's just going to be your i don't know like magna box i would put them in the same like you're you're just your decent shadow mask tubes it's like sharp philips magna box the same company you know they're fine yeah you know it's just and some people really would rather have a shadow mask tube god bless you um uh sharp does i think sharp was one of the few manufacturers that did put out a 25 inch tube uh that you could use for an arcade monitor so that's that's one that's one good thing about them but uh yeah sannyo eric i see uh that's you're right it's about right there too um yeah yeah it's a minute it's they can look good but they could have good parts in them but i think also that the problem is sometimes you run into some that probably aren't built with the greatest parts right right so it's harder to say where it's easier to say oh well you know if you get a trinitron well you know you're gonna try to try and so you're kind of expecting a certain level quality right someone says you're getting a sharp it's not really sure what you're getting uh they're uh when you do your you're shopping um steve you you shop Japanese auctions from time to time yeah i've never bought anything off those well bullshit you've gotten imported stuff from japan i know you have but that was off ebay yeah that was an awful different website okay okay okay but if you ever if you ever look at japanese auction sites uh sharp in the 80s we're putting out these really cool um like 14 inch crts that had these really neat um just these really neat paneling they were like in bright colors or like red and green and oh yeah all these and and i thought they were just the coolest little tv i mean they're rf only obviously but um but i've always been interested in one of those yeah those are cool really cool well i mean sharp had their partnership with nintendo right yeah and you you know they had that sharp famicom tv right you know and you could get the famicom over composite it was wired internally for composite input it was really cool uh i mean sharp so good tv's can't go wrong with one again the best crt is one that works it's one that works on the one that you have yeah i've i've got a fw 900 up in this in the uh garage it's just parts it's like it might as well be the suckiest crt there is because it's if you look at it it's unusable it works yeah it's not fixable but if it did work it was you know it's worth five grand exactly but yeah well what's uh what's on the docket tomorrow how much how much uh we're about to be on two hours well how much time you ready to oh yeah i could probably pass out oh yeah sharp hat sharp hat ready player prime sharp had the linage that's the that's the linatron that's the tv we were talking about that you said bob needs to take of mine he does that's a sharp that's bob's that's bob's that's a sharp is a sharp tron it's a 13 inch it was wall of tubes his wall of tubes all right everybody probably gonna i'm probably gonna that's cool that's out here shortly before before my friend passes out we want to thank you all for showing up tonight and having a wonderful evening experience with us we will definitely do it again and it won't be probably two months again yeah man we'll be sooner than that plus here's the thing uh you'll get to see my ugly face again tomorrow in my new video which is like so much stuff some weeks i feel like i feel bad that you guys have to see me so much but what is can you give us a teaser yeah it's about a little it's old it's about at the beginning it's about the del trinitron that's right that's right and again i was listening i promise this is the perfect cheap if you're like the cheap crt street or the cheap crt setup that'd be most effective would be this monitor with a mister uh that monitor with a mister or or bob did i don't know if yeah his video a long time ago by his video a long time ago with an osse or you could do it with a retro or the gbsc yeah you're the gbsc you could downscale it that's scan lines that's it's got a lot of good options on it get the pvm experience for cheap there you go all right now uh you guys also make sure you go over and click on eight bit
