|
|
A youtuber and CRT gamer made a mini-documentary about the 4300, and his saga of finding one in Osaka and the logistics of shipping to the US, and tuning it as well. Pretty entertaining! Just about to hit a million views in 2 days. There’s still some CRT folks out there…

What an awesome story! Incredible dedication to our obscure hobby, amazing coincidences and lucky connections enabling the rescue of a one-of-a-kind unicorn of CRT technology by a crazy enthusiast who went to incredible lengths to secure and repair this amazing antique ... VERY cool.
The video has over 1 million views -- in TWO DAYS. Where did they find that many CRT geeks ??

I saw this too a day or so ago. I am sure it's being served up on Youtube by their algorithm to anyone who has searched for CRT stuff before, and being geeks we're all likely going to watch it. That will get it to 1 Mil views pretty quick I'd think.

Hit my YT feed too and i watched it. Fascinating story. I was a direct view CRT geek having owned a 27" Profeel monitor system back in the 80's and then the replacement PVM monitor, when a G90 was just a twinkle in the eye.
