I’ll do it where is it
Richmond
perfect, let me know when we’re going
saturday I’m going to the botanical garden with @physical and tuesday I’m going to cuba with my wife’s family so ideally plan around those
oh wait and sunday I’m going across the street to help the diner staff strip it
I have a couple medical appointments tomorrow or I’d say do it then… maybe like, early noonish on Saturday?
oh fuck who shut down?
I’ll uh reach out to this person then lol
slickity’s
owner got an offer to buy the place out and figured it was now or never
I’m going to be spending a significant part of the next 3 days with them before I fly out but I think I’m basically free right around early afternoon on sat and sun, mornings and later afternoons are blocked
loading SMPTEColor.png and Monoscope320.png onto my iPod video to function as a reasonably pocketable A/V tester for the CRT
I think that was genuinely the dumbest thing I’ve ever done, shoutout to @Felix for helping me get a stupid goddamned untested $3000-in-1993 super trinitron into my house
hurt me more
lmao I should’ve gotten you to take me home via Home Depot, having to wait until I can get a working electrical cable tomorrow is going to kill me
in any controller rooms
they abandoned them every 3-10 years, most of second hand retro market or museums were from here. Even now, could still buy whole new monitor on the professional market.
UPDATE: turns out there is a very poorly matched for the cable type DIY NEMA plug sitting in the bag with the (fucking gigantic) remote, so this thing has probably seen use in this country at least
remote has a dirty but largely uncorroded battery compartment which is sadly missing the cover, but if that’s the worst I see I will be doing very well for myself
Jimney christmas that’s huge.
there were actually fewer stairs up than I thought but I might’ve blacked out on the way up
the only way to recreate the feeling of playing PS2 on the dark brown shag pile at my Nonna’s house is to scale up her Trinitron to nearly the largest they ever made commensurate with how much I’ve grown since
also to buy a hideous rug
12 years ago Muji sold delicous brown shag carpet rugs.
