sound intelligence for the basement and attics of the worldly concern : bulky old cathode ray television set are no longer useless ! And turning them into a retro rain buckets gimmick is easygoing than it looks .
Dr. Moddnstinefound a way to make a “ portable ” video from 1978 accept Chromecast , turn on mechanically when streaming to it , and launch a path to accommodate all the additional parts inside the original chassis . I find obligate to warn you though , it is very sluttish to fry yourself when fussing around in the cut of older CRT — and not a flying jolt either . These kind of accidents can be deadly so continue with caution .
As he explains in theextended demo , the mod involve a serial of transcriber to be wired together in the TV . First , there ’s the 300 Georg Simon Ohm twin lead ( the one that quondam rabbit ear antennae confiscate to ) need to be converted into 75 Georg Simon Ohm VHF . That signal runs into an RF modulator which outputs composite video . Finally , a composite plant to HMDI feed you the connection need to punch in a standard Chromecast . The operation might be a painful sensation in the ass , but it does n’t require anything you ca n’t find on Amazon . There ’s also almost no soldering necessitate .
Unfortunately , he does n’t disclose how the automatic mogul on unit of measurement functions — we’ll just have to nurse out for a new video recording some time in the future .
