A plasma TV with tubes
 

Anyone know what this plasma set is with tubes??

Obviously just something someone cobbled together to LOOK impressive...but NOT functional.

Lmfao!!!!

Looks like a Photoshop brand!

the boards are samsung.

Very close! I used Gimp...Just to much time on my hands :D

Any ever come across one of the PC motherboards (AOpen and possibly others) with the vacuum tube audio output amps? I think their was a standalone soundcard that had them, as well.

I did that once. Had an LCD TV with a bad 150 volt zener diode. I subbed a tube (0D3 I think) and it worked. I didn't leave it that way very long, but it gave me the chance to see if the rest of the TV was working.

Undoubtedly it's a low hours set, the board is not charred from the tubes!! Ha Ha!!

In reality....there WAS talk about a BW plasma tv--no doubt it would have used tubes--in the late 1950's. It was not called plasma yet-but used gas discharge to trigger phospor for the raster and had x and y electrodes in a flat sealed panel--to drive them.(like a modern PDP). But nothing ever came of the announcement evidently.

Saw it in a 1957 or 1958 RE magazine.

Next up: a plasma roundie.

Roundie SCHMOUNDIE!!! Get a glass cutter and be the first on your block to own a TRIANGLE TV!!! :D

SR

That would be an Interocitor!

I have one of the Aopen AX4B-533 motherboards with the Sovtek tube. It was a really solid board but obsolete now and sitting in a box on a shelf.

A hoax.
