You should have been here last week I threw away a 25" CRT TV and a

I've still got a working 50" wide screen CRT TV that I can't bring
myself
to chuck out.

I say you're full of BS again.

We'll see...

I don't believe anyone ever made a 50 inch conventional CRT TV.

Grundig did.

Sure.

Fraid so.

Show us a link or picture.

And we're not talking about projection Tvs.

Duh.

Bit hard to for one person to carry tho and it is on the
other side of the world, so not actually that easy for you to get.

If they're not broken, they lose some of their glamour.

But are tthey still there? Where do you live?

One t ime long ago in Brooklyn, I had a date to go to the Bronx zoo
with
a girl. On the way to the car from my apartment, I found a small
tv.
We went to the zoo, had a good time, I took her out to dinner, and
afterwards she invited me back to her place. I'm so stupid I don't
know
what that probably means, but I really wanted to work on the TV in
the
trunk of the car. So I left her and went home and started in on the
TV.
It worked. I was so disappointed. Plus I think she was mad at me.
(I
guess I wasn't attracted to her because that didn't seem to bother
me.)

Or you prefer to **** with TVs, you deviate.



That sure doesn't look like a 50 inch TV. I had a 36" and it looked bigger. So, put a tape measure diagonally across the screen so we can see and take another pic.

50 CM
That is a 15 or 17 inch - 19 at most


Yes, the Aussie troll caught in another lie. Still waiting for
him to show us a picture with that alleged 50" CRT TV and a tape measure.....
Of course that won't be coming, he'll be back with the next stupid lie.


The biggest Grundig I can find in 89cm, 35 inch which would be similar
to the Sony.
Mitsubishu made a 40" but it weighed 750 pounds and the price was up
in five figures.

I agree, the Aussie troll is full of BS again. If he's not, then it's easy,
he can just take another pic of that TV with a tape measure across the screen.
I didn't know M made a 40". I had the first 35" big screen Mitsubishi,
cost a couple grand. When it died years later, it was in the era of rear
projector HD TV. I evaluated that, the cable company didn't even have HD
at the time, I decided to go with a 36" CRT, which by then was maybe $400.
Used that until LCD ones came out, came down in price and there was HD
on cable.

I believe Mitsubishi was the only company that made a 40 inch CRT tube
and it was the biggest they made.. Actually - upon doing some
research, they actually made a VERY FEW 61 inch CRTs but they had a
very short life and low reliability so were quickly discontinued.
I was wrong -Sony also built a 40 inch Trinitron and they built some
43 inchers that never got outside the lab. In order to safely support
the vacuum they were HELLISHLY HEAVY!!!

OOPS - my bad. but still not a 50!!!

I scaled it up from theAV plugs - looks like possibly a 40" - 4:3
ratio

The Grundig label scales to roughly 3 inches - and the diagonal
measurement of the tube is 12 times the size of the label - or 36
inches. By American sizing that would be a 40 inch - In canada it
would have been called a 37 incher, or possibly a 36.
Grundig used philips tubes. Philips owned Grundig from 1973 until
about 1998.

Its actually much wider than that. oddly wide in the flesh.

At home I had a card with a selection of thermal fuses, but I never

listed iirc. Or maybe getting hot made the number unreadable.

In addition, I was afraid to solder the thing in. The originals are
always riveted. I can't rivet. Can I solder?

This question was for when I get home. I'm traveling and don't have a
soldering iron.

I did bring a tape measure, a very small digital VOM, a shirt pocket
thing that opens to large and small, Philips and flat screwdrivers, and
a couple jumper wires.

Two years ago my roommate had me putting casters on a cabinet ,
replacing hinges on a cabinet door, a couple things I forget, and
replacing two 220V outlets. She thanked me over and over for the
casters and one other thing and said not a word about the outlets, which
would have required an electrician I assume, and a hefty charge.

They were right next to each other but on separate circuits. I turned
off the breaker for one and thought I had both. I should have checked
earlier. I could have killed myself. (One was there to begin with, and
when the owner of the building put on another floor or two, he bribed
the other owners by givign each of them two more rooms, and in this case
more electricity in a room she already had, so one outlet was on one
circuit and the other 6 inches away on the other. They don't have dual
receptacles here, only single, so it didnt' seem strange that there
were two of them.

Finally, I won't be able to buy replacement fuses at hardware stores,
will I? Just at a few online suppliers, unless I happen to be in the
same city where one of them is located?

I have to look at this thing in brighter light to decide if it's more
than the fuse. I'll get back to you all. It's perfectly clean inside
so I wonder what would make the fuse blow.

Yesterday I found two 25" CRT TVs in the trash, but I probably can't fix
them, or even carry them. Today I found a vacuum cleaner, and my
experience is that they always work and just need the lint removed from
the pipe. But I was walking -- didn't have the car -- and my roommates
have no carpeting, just tile.


It is probably a thermal fuse, that blows when it gets too hot, like
when you block of the air flow with a blanket.
