Just recently, I went to my local electronics recycling center, where I found this perfectly functioning Sony CPD-200ES CRT monitor! The unit itself only has a few marks on it, which obviously doesn't have an effect on the functionality. Bought it and took it home for only $12.50.
HEHE SIX SEVEEEEEN
I've seen a lot of people post about watching TADC on their CRT TVs, so I decided to connect my Emerson EWC13D4 to my PC so I can watch TADC on it! I found the TV at a recycling center recently, and it has a built-in DVD player, but I had to use the AV inputs to connect the CRT to my PC. Credit to Glitch Productions.
I recently saw a Facebook Marketplace listing in my area for an Apple eMac G4 CRT. Would it be fair to give the seller an in-box, used flat screen iMac as a trade? I'm not exactly an expert in Apple products, so feel free to let me know your thoughts!
Earlier today, I brought my purple RCA E13700 CRT TV to the first annual Burque ByteFest in downtown Albuquerque! The event also had a bunch of other really cool entries, including an iMac G3, an Apple IIC, and even an ADM terminal!
Just recently, I finally acquired the speakers for my Windows 98 setup! Everything has been tested and works perfectly!
Models:
PC Tower: HP Pavilion 6330
Monitor: Sony CPD-200ES
Keyboard: HP 5181
Mouse: Logitech M-S35
Speakers: SUN-691H
After getting a pair of speakers to hook up to my Windows 98 HP Pavilion, I'm proud to announce that I finally have a full, entirely retro setup that I can show off!
The PC is an HP Pavilion running Windows 98, undated
The monitor is a Sony CPD-200ES, manufactured August 1997
The keyboard is an HP 5181 multimedia PS/2 keyboard, Windows 98/ME era
The mouse is a Logitech M-S35 PS/2 ball mouse, ~1990s
The speakers are the SUN-691 wired speakers, undated
Everything works perfectly!
I just recently acquired these vintage Harman/Kardon speakers and was wanting to know if I have the right power adapter for them.
First picture shows the speakers' power input port (15VAC, 1.1 Amps), and the second picture shows the output of the power adapter (15VDC, 3.2 Amps).
My question is, will this adapter be too much power for these speakers? Please let me know so I can decide whether or not I'd have to buy a different adapter.
Just yesterday, I picked up this lovely, fully functioning HP Pavilion 6330 off of Facebook Marketplace! The seller was unsure if it even worked, so I was mildly surprised to find out that it works perfectly!
No, I have not been able to test out the SpongeBob game because I don't have the CD to boot it up yet.

No, I haven't been able to play the SpongeBob game, as I don't have the proper CD to boot it up.
Earlier today, I got my first retro PC tower! The person I got it from didn't know if it worked or not, so the fact that it works perfectly came as a surprise!
No, the SpongeBob game doesn't work because I don't have the CD for it.
Also, thanks to everyone who gave suggestions on my last post!
Just recently, I went to a local Savers thrift store, where I found this working Panasonic RQ-121S! Unfortunately, a few of the parts are missing but the unit still works perfectly! Notice the pre-1971 Panasonic logos printed on the unit itself.
Just yesterday, I found this portable reel to reel tape recorder at a local Savers thrift store! Unfortunately, it was missing some of its parts, but it still seems to work perfectly! The unique thing about this unit is that it has a built-in AM radio which still picks up stations! The recorder also comes with a detachable microphone, which is shown in the last picture.
Just recently, I acquired this lively Sony Trinitron CRT monitor! It works perfectly and it doesn't have any damage or yellowing at all! Manufactured August 1997.
Just recently, I received this 3.5" CRT TV off of eBay, in working condition with its original box and accessories! Unfortunately, it doesn't have any ports, so I won't be able to connect anything to it for now.
Last picture shows the ACN-3500 compared to a typical 5" CRT set.
Manufactured October 1990.
Just recently, I went to my local electronics recycling center, where I found this Panasonic PV-M1357W CRT TV VCR combo unit! I bought it, took it home, and plugged it in. It works perfectly, even the VCR!
Just yesterday, I received this Action ACN-3500 off of eBay, complete with its original box and accessories! This unit is now my smallest CRT, having a 3.5" tube.
Last picture compares the ACN-3500 to a typical 5" CRT.
Manufactured October 1990.
Earlier today, I received this lovely 3.5" unit from eBay! It arrived in perfect working condition and even came with its original box and accessories! Unfortunately, there aren't any built-in ports to connect things to, so I won't be able to show anything other than static on the screen.

When I was at the recycling center recently, I also managed to pick up this TruTech DVD player combo unit! Unfortunately, the DVD player doesn't work, but the CRT does! Uniquely enough, this unit has three sets of AV ports, two inputs and one output. Manufactured July 2007.
