Did some moving around in the house over last weekend....
I work from home for a company in Phoenix. This is where I now spend my working day. Kind of enjoy it

OOoooooohh!!
Love yer little Sony 301!! Is this the one you fixed up and then sent ME the doner parts? The one you sent me got MINE running pretty good (after some more recapping). Only a very minor linearity still exists (and goes away after like ten minutes). I hope yours is still running tip-top. It's the only set in this pic I could have in the space I have to work with. I should post a pic of all my little tiny sets up and running...but most you roundy purists will likely just crap in my Cheerios at the sight of about a hundred very small sets running with the same picture.

That's the one!
It still works well on cable, but on the agile modulator the reception isn't that hot. Picture gets kind of like a ruffled potato chip. I can adjust it out pretty well though. Are ya kidding?? I'd LOVE to see that! Of the sets on that wall, all of the color rectangulars work, and the 9T246. The Motorola portable lost signal, so I have some tubes to test.

Very nice tomatoes you got there! I could never work at home because I'd be way too distracted. It's bad enough for me at work now with all these websites and forums!

Very nice! Is there enough juice to run all of them at once?

Oh sure....I have the outlets on that side of the wall wired to one breaker.
It's not distractive if you discipline yourself, and work within your own quirks. For example, I could never work on a TV while I'm working, because I'd have to leave off right where I'd want to keep going, have to start and stop constantly, and I'd get frustrated with both things. That, and since I absolutely hate having a messy office, it forces me to finish things and reassemble them

That was only of that one reference design "cheap chinese" set. It's sort of a subset collection....all of them in one place. There is like 30 of those now. Getting hard to find different ones I don't have now.
It's hard to take a pic of a bunch of running sets. I seem to always have to go turn ALL the contrast and brightness down to almost nothing on all the sets.....or they are just a bunch of big white lights. I'm not at all a photographer

Like my remotes, your collection of those little sets thankfully wouldn't take up a lot of room. Always a good thing. My remotes could be considered a sub-collection, but I have a lot more of those than TVs.
I had a thought regarding the problem taking pictures of running sets: increase ambient lighting. My cheap camera sucks in low light. Last edited by Jon A.; 09-07-2013 at 06:10 PM.
