I picked a TV up in the trash today. The guts are well... unique.

It's as if they took a valve television and a silicon one and mashed them both up! The oil encapsulated flyback really got me WTF'ing.

So 4hv, what are your unique finds? Pics help

Wait, does it have tubes? Are the tubes big and fat? Then, it's just a very early 70's tv. It uses vacuum tubes for rf, and ss for audio output and slow switching. If anyone knows when they started using green perf bored, we could pinpoint the decade.

I fixed it smile

Although it's not exactly a remarkable television, aside from the odd electronics. Not quite sure what I am going to do with it...

Hmm I say build something else from its guts, however unique it is, it takes up space and really don't have a use today, unless you are a museum :)

I found this writing on a PCB that I find a bit "unique" Link2
