View Full Version : Baby CT-100 maxm 04-12-2005, 11:35 PM You all will probably get a good chuckle out of this, but...for my English class at school, we each had to write a research paper on a topic of our choice. I choose the development of Color Television (In America). We also had to creat an art project to go along with our papers, so I decided to make a little RCA CT-100 TV out of wood. So here you go: Charlie 04-13-2005, 12:30 AM He'll grow up to be a big CT-100 someday! Btw... very nice likeness! Eric H 04-13-2005, 01:33 AM That is very cool! Can you squeeze a small LCD set inside there and make it work? Aussie Bloke 04-13-2005, 03:02 AM Hey great choice of project, good onya :thmbsp: ! You did a fantastic job at it too and it's a work of art! I agree with Eric, you could squeeze a little LCD set inside it and there you go a functional baby CT-100 :thmbsp: ! Cheers Troy frenchy 04-13-2005, 03:28 AM How big is it? Maybe you could even fit a tiny color tv chassis in there with a real tube instead of an lcd? andy 04-13-2005, 12:53 PM --- heathkit tv 04-13-2005, 04:42 PM Ct-50? Charlie 04-13-2005, 05:06 PM Ct-50? :rofl: That was a good one! :rofl: maxm 04-13-2005, 05:25 PM It's only about 8" tall, though I might be able to find a REALLY small screen... old_tv_nut 04-13-2005, 09:10 PM :thmbsp: That is soooooo nice! Sandy G 04-13-2005, 10:33 PM Now here would be a project-Panasonic made a 1.5" color Crt set in the '80s. I know-I have one. No, it ain't for sale, but every so often one shows up We-Know-Where. It would be just SO friggin' KEWL to mount one of them little guys in a cabinet-I don't know if it's quite the right scale, but you could prolly take a bit of poetic license. Panasonic also made a 2.75" version as well, but it might be harder to make fit. Even if you never do more than this w/it, you've still got a REAL work of art, IMHO.-Sandy G. frenchy 04-14-2005, 02:09 AM Were there any real old camcorders or home video cameras that had built in color crt viewfinders, or were they all either black and white crts or color or b/w lcd? You must need a microscope to see the phosphor dots on that 1.5" screen! Pete Deksnis 04-14-2005, 08:00 AM Maybe we can come up with a 1.5GP22 for the little guy. You've earned an A+ for sure in this classroom! RetroHacker 04-14-2005, 11:55 AM Wow - that's awesome. I've used the expression "watching a little television" before, but I've never seen it taken this literally. Nice work! -Ian Tim 04-14-2005, 12:43 PM Great job. Did you start with a solid block of wood? maxm 04-14-2005, 07:32 PM Great job. Did you start with a solid block of wood? It is parts all glued together, it basically started as a blank box, and I slowly added the trim, cutting off thin strips off wood. I was working off a picture, having never seen a CT-100 in person. I'll be on the lookout for one of those little Panasonics, I would love to make this a working set! John Folsom 04-14-2005, 09:58 PM Let me echo the sentiments of those beofe me. That is really cute! you must have put a lot of work into it. You need to come voer to my house and work on some of my bad-dog cabinets. tubesrule 04-14-2005, 10:51 PM Outstanding job on that cabinet maxm!!! Panasonic did make view finders for camcorders with their 1 1/2" color CRT in the 90's. The problem is the tube is fairly long at about 4". You might want to consider something like this: http://www.hammacher.com/publish/71930.asp?promo=el_video It's not quite as cool as using a CRT but would fit easily, and has an outstanding picture on it. It's not actually part of the watch band, and is just the little rectagular box. Darryl andy 04-15-2005, 01:40 AM --- Kamakiri 04-15-2005, 06:11 AM If you ever decide to make more, I will buy one! NIPPERTHEDOG 05-06-2005, 11:26 AM maybe I'll make a mini ctc-4 for my girl's dollhouse. :yes: :lmao: :banana: |
