A really neat mini-project.......

[Kamakiri]

I've been using a 15" Dell LCD monitor as a TV, connected to a Viewsonic box for the last 4 months or so, and the other day started digging out TV projects that I've got.

Ed (Roundscreen here) gave me this sad sack of a Crosley set about 3 months ago, that I really saw promise in. Got the chassis out to find a charred yoke and no tubes, so decided to have some fun with the cabinet in the meantime.

The LCD monitor is a dead perfect fit inside, even the height of the base is dead on! The cabinet obviously needs refinishing, but of course the flash really makes the flaws stand out that aren't so blatant in regular room light.

Some double sided automotive tape to hold the knobs on, and I've got a perfectly watchable TV set while leaving the entire cabinet and guts unaltered. Cool, huh?
