    Seen some colour motherboards for sale recommended off the original link posted in that video. Thanks for going over some of the caveats of these. Not got any dead crts yet but hopefully we'll get some quality aftermarket solutions outside of 4K scalers soon.

    It almost looks like the vertical linearity is off. I’m guessing there isn’t an adjustment for it. Maybe fiddle with the vertical driver see if there are components that may affect the linearity. The yoke coils may be wrong?

  • @joseislanio8910
    @joseislanio8910 6 годин тому

    I was wondering about this project the other day. The board I bought is still unopened lol I doubt the problem would be a power supply problem, or a signal compatibility problem. It could be on the high voltage circuit, or, more likely, the circuit that provides horizontal and vertical signals to the yoke. The defect here is almost exactly like one I had on a security system CRT. Except that it would also distort the image a lot more. I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

For someone just starting out with limited funds should I spring for the Quinn or get this till I can afford a upgrade?

    Have you tried shooting to memory stick? It uses less compression in MS mode. If you’re shooting at max res and really want the photos to be usable that could be an option. When shooting to floppies I like how the compression looks on the 1024x768 setting better than 1600, plus you get way more shots per floppy (:
