Google Chromecast on 1949 RCA

[Penthode]

I thought I should share my photos of the old with the new. I bought on Amazon a Google Chromecast for $35. I can control it with a You Tube app on my Verizon Android phone and use it to surf the internet, view and Netflix and You Tube video.

For $32 on Amazon, you can purchase an HDMI to composite NTSC 525 video with analog stereo audio converter. It converts all the standard computer resolutions to good 'ol 525 video. The converter is fed to my RF channel 4 modulator.

What you wil see is the internet explorer, the You Tube navigation page and Frank Lloyd Wright and moderator John Daly from a you Tube replay of "What's My Line".

The Chromecast is a dedicated tiny (about 1 1/2 square inch) device which plugs into the HDMI converter (about 2 square inches) to form a dedicated low cost portal to all the internet videos for vintage TVs.

This is how it appears on my 1949 RCA 9TC275 (16" roundie).

Cheers,

Terry
