I notice that the retro-gamers have some interest in CRT televisions, but so far as I know a plasma TV is just as good as a CRT, so far as that goes. A lack of latency and motion artifacts is the goal. In direct view video there is CRT, plasma, LCD, and OLED. ALL flat-panel TV's are either

I have what I believe is the 55” or 60” model of this in my garage in the FL house. I rarely use it, more because I rarely work in that garage. It’s a beautiful TV, built like the proverbial brick doghouse. Mine started ghosting ever so slightly some years back, and TV technology having moved

I think you told me that back when so I bought one of those spring drivers 7mm but the nuts on the big hose clamps are 8mm. I just used a wobble extension and a u-joint and oriented the clamp screws so I could put the socket on. That part was actually fairly easy once I got the whole thing

I just realized - the key to R on the M119 MAF is a new boot and a 1/4” 7mm socket on a long extension with a wobble. Or, if you want the purpose-built tool that makes it easy-peasy (to tighten the clamps, that is) get one of the 7mm sockets on a long springy extension that can flex. Those make

The cabin's CRT TV crapped out last month, and I had my son bring it home. Zenith model B25A11Z. He said the vertical deflection shrank down, and then there was a loud noise, black screen, and bad smell. I don't want anything newer down there, as this one's nearly theft proof, so I'd like to

Well I found the problem and it's the ham-fisted mechanic who was working on the car (that's me). The intake manifold runs down between the engine and the radiator and converges at the throttle body which is near the bottom of the radiator. Hard to see around it and hard to reach it from above
