I've always wanted to do that! (for some reason)Make a cabinet, it will at least be a good conversation piece. Make a real nice wood one and lacquer it:D newhallone 07-15-2009, 09:33 PM That would be cool.:thmbsp: Sam Cogley 07-15-2009, 09:44 PM Make a miniature case that looks like one of those late 40s "suitcase" roundies. :D zenithfan1 07-15-2009, 09:50 PM Make a miniature case that looks like one of those late 40s "suitcase" roundies. :D Perfect!:D vinyldavid 07-15-2009, 10:02 PM iPod TV? :D 3Guncolor 07-15-2009, 11:04 PM Glad to know I'm not the only one to do that. firenzeprima 07-16-2009, 04:07 AM maxiscreen? Hemingray 07-16-2009, 08:42 AM Dollhouse roundie! :D Arkay 07-16-2009, 08:50 AM Yes, yes, a period-correct dollhouse roundie. Hehe, some lucky girl would have the only one in the world... and a WORKING one, too! By the time she is done telling her friends about it, she'll be hooked for life on how cool roundies are, and will do her part for the rest of her life to help to preserve them for future generations... :D Well, maybe not all that, but it would be a very cool little thing. Can't think of a better use for that tiny monitor screen! :no: :thmbsp: Sandy G 07-16-2009, 09:20 AM Figger out how to get it to go "Full-Screen", & then make a miniature Zenith cabinet for it...Always thought those pre-1951 portholes were just the livin' end of "Cool".... Duane 07-16-2009, 09:24 AM Don't play any "letterboxed movies"... zenith2134 07-16-2009, 11:06 AM Yes.... I have been.... In fact, just yesterday I built a small speaker box out of two 32-ohm Sony boombox speakers and a wood-reinforced cardboard shipping box driven by my pro-ject headphone amp (330mW per side at 32) Not bad driven by a lossless iPod... stromberg6 07-16-2009, 04:44 PM Your boombox speakers remind me of the cardboard "cabinets" we four poor GI Army roommates in Germany put together years ago (1970) using Warfedale eight inch woofs, and mylar tweeters. Hooked up to a Sansui 5000X, they sounded pretty darn good for little money. Still have the tweeters and crossovers. Kevin wa2ise 07-16-2009, 10:42 PM I did that back around 1985, using an RCA camcorder viewfinder. Mounted it in a small metal cabinet, with a rectangle bezel filed in the metal cabinet for the picture tube. Geoff Bourquin 07-17-2009, 10:13 PM about 20 years ago. Never built a box for it; I think after I got it running I tossed it in the junk box with a million other projects. 30-something years ago I took the tuner, IF and video modules from an upright Zenith chassis and put them in a small cabinet then used it to drive an oscilloscope. X,Y, and Z axis so I could watch TV on my scope in glorious light green-and-dark green. Eric H 07-17-2009, 10:25 PM Now you need to get a color wheel out of a DLP set and make a Color-Tel for it! old_tv_nut 07-17-2009, 11:05 PM It is so much longer than its diameter, I think it should be made into a miniature 1939 RCA with the vertically mounted tube and mirror lid. ChrisW6ATV 07-18-2009, 12:57 AM I have a box of old viewfinders, including one that is possibly beam-index color. Some day I will be "that bored" and do something with them. |
