nice tommy..

Wow, someone had tons of fun back in the day hacking that SX-64! Nice restoration!

Be careful the bios battery. It may have leaked. :) nice video, thanks.

how long ago was the c128 retrobrighted, yellow again..

I used to repair those style monitors back in the day - they usually where connected to Point of Sale PCs (usually a small form factor 386). I have a VGA model. There where also more cube shaped cases designed to be stacked and they where usually for CCTV installations so you could have 1 monitor per camera.

You’re not allowed to show your NINE INCH on UA-cam! I, know I got suspended for a week for showing my 10 inch

These small CRTs were sold with Point of Sale machines. I used to go to a Linux User Group in 90s and one day someone came in with a PC and one of these monitors, he had every GUI you could think of ready to demo

9 inch monitors in monochrome were often used as a Display for electronic cash Registers, you can still wee some old Models in some Shops Here in germany...

If it hasn't been said before, do not use IPA (or any detergent) to clean the back of the screen. The coating is really easy to remove accidentally and is vital to the operation of the tube

I wonder if that would work with an Atari ST, too?

nice monitor tommy...i am so glad it worked!!!

I love your videos, but the way you are trying to discharge the CRT moving the wire next to the screwdriver is wrong and dangerous. If anybody copies it with a charged CRT it can be harmful. Please be more careful with what you show regarding CRT discharging. I also suggest you include a brief text explaining the dangers of this in any other CRT related video. Cheers!

I think the original use case for a monitor this size is for a point of sale/membership computer, as it was from a sports centre they would need more information on a screen and this would fit the bill from the 1980's. I remember the news agent I worked for had a similar size monitor for their subscription/delivery computer.

Какой няшный мониторчик :)

Holy moly! Hong Kong looks amazing!

Listening while I work on a document I'm doing. Always good to see you in another video! Nice looking little display. It would be worth doing the geometry adjustments to make the most of it, though. Looks like a great display for use with CP/M!

I have two crt monitors. 1802 and 1084 S. They work very well. But I guess I'm old. Monitors tire my eyes. I don't use them anymore, I use modern monitors. I keep them for nostalgia. Nice video, thank you very much. ❤

I see it has a Chunghwa Picture Tubes display, they opened a factory here in Scotland near my home with 20 million GBP grant and packed up 5 years later when their Enterprise Zone status was about to expire so that they wouldn't have to pay rates or tax.

Very nice video! Love old computer monitors!

With mono DB9 (or rather DE9?) I was thinking this was an MDA/Hercules monitor. They should run at 18kHz, so they might not catch the horizontal frequency, although they might as it's not that far off - especially if this is a duo-system monitor as I suspect. Also the pinout is different, the video inputs exclude each other. There is a Mono Video In on the MDA monitor though. So in order to get the grayscale you got, this monitor would have to have either the RGB lines all connected through resistors or use the mono video signal (which the C128 actually provides). So either this really is a CGA mono monitor, or it's an MDA/Hercules monitor that has CGA compatibility built in. I would totally try this monitor with a Hercules card. They're pretty abundant, especially the late 80s ones, they're really small and always have a printer port and 64k of RAM, usually as two 4x64k chips, sometimes eight 1x64k chips.

So cute! :)

Yep a very suspect design since there is no separation between high and low sides (spark gaps).

Hi, could you recommend any solder wire brand??? Because I bought some on AliExpress but crappy compound gives awful results, over heating pcb and components...

I found someone who created a USB-C to DIN power Adapter for the 1541 and 1581 drives, you only need a proper USB-C charger, works fine on my 1581. The 1581 only draws 1A on 5V max. so no actual reason to damage a 2A PSU, maybe that had a fault already, or why did the fuse in the house blew as well, the fuse in the PSU should be faster.

Only trash from temu 😂😂

Use plastic tools to open, not metal 👍

If I remember correctly, it was a cheap Chinese psu or charger that set "Mark Fixes Things" house on fire a couple of years ago.

I think I'd much rather buy and build in something halfway decent like a Meanwell RD50A or RD65A and know my precious 1541 wasn't about to be cooked by a really cheap self oscillating PSU with some very dubious clearances on the PCB

There’s a company that makes a heavy duty PSU which can drive both a C64 and a 1541 from one box with two cables.

I love the blue led if I had that it would spray painted black case it would be cool as hell

I thought the power supply to the 1541 was internal

Sadly, manufacturing in China is not subject to the same regulations as in Europe and varies from superb to suspect. I bought a PC sound card on eBay which simply buzzed with the activity of the processor.

Wow, thats not good Tommy. Good that your house not is in fire. Good luck wishes. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands

the component (with 4 legs) between the primary and secondary side is an opto coupler for feed back for controlling the output voltage.

Looks like a Meanwell unit is in your future... hope this didn't damage your drive.

I've had one like that before, they're often sold as IDE power supplies. From memory the switching transistor blew in mine but it did the exact same thing as yours. Blew the fuse and burned one of the primary traces, can't remember if it also tripped the breaker. Looks like on yours the octocoupler had a misshap but the result is the same 🔥

Half an hour to get to actual gameplay footage.....HALF AN HOUR....... And then we discover it's closer to plaything THROUGH a C64 vs ON a C64.

Well, this is not bad at all and I wish you show less products in one short (if this will benefit you) or put a link to the product for more details.

im on your side tommy ..nice stuff..

the MC68000 does not have 16bit address bus, it has 24bit address bus but the data bus is just 16bit wide, meanwhile the registers are 32bit.

Trist med temu sellout. Håper du bare sletter dette og vi later som at det aldri skjedde

Oye... unsubbed.

I'd like to know more details about how that differs from the C64's original CPU, oh yes!

Ttevligt med lite Atari 😀👍

Its basically remote desktop. It works using dma, its like nuvi but the video is being rendered in real time.
