Rescued old CRT (imgur.com)

Rescued old CRT I put a lot of work in. Was totally dead when I got it, rescued it to be almost perfect again.

It still has an intermittent horizontal size issue and the power button has some cosmetic wear. But at least the power button works, it used to only work when you would hold it down.

Be sure to enable the audio for some good retro tunes coming from the monitor.

Wow that's gorgeous great work. I just picked up a Memorex MT1091 and when it arrives it will be the first CRT I've owned since childhood and I'm pretty stoked for it to arrive. Mines in working condition - bought it for use on a gaming test bench, but I definitely can appreciate the hard work that goes into these. Your final result is beautiful.

Wow that's awesome man. Glad you added the 'since childhood' part, I was feeling a bit old.

I've fixed up a lot of CRTs, but this one is kinda special, since it goes so well with the MSX system.

Indeed the color pallete, the geometry, its spot on.
