it's annoying that my nice crt has weak connections on its input connectors, because who the fuck is gonna want to open it and fix it?
and it weighs nearly 100kg, so I can't mail it to them
I'm sure none of you are willing to open a crt
you shouldn't be
@onfy if you paid him, maybe, but I was more talking about how he's still alive and mostly well
gotta know which parts not to touch
@noiob yeah, obviously it's something people do, it's just quite rare is the thing
@onfy if it's just soldering the connector you're gonna be far from the spicy bits fwiw
@noiob yeah, but I don't blame anyone for not wanting to, besides, to get to the one at the front it looks like you have to go through a bunch of components
I'm also suddenly remembering the Chinese control board that makes your TV multistandard, that's probably more involved to install
@noiob ...also, since crts aren't common anymore, it's not something people commonly learn now. this is "the wisdom of the ancients," those who know it are getting old, retiring, dying...
@noiob and I'm sure he wants to fly to Canada
