Any CRT experts? Decased a 32" Sony Wega Trinitron for arcade

<< < (2/5) > >>

Yenome:
want to come do the same to my 32" jvc :P i been wondering bout a mirror cab as a possible build. tho i would think with the right orientation and windows rotations you could get it to display right when reflected. tho i have never tested it.

So I put everything back together, fired the tv up and my yoke switch worked!  The tv should work perfectly for a mirror cab since the display is correct horizontally, but flipped vertically.  That's the good news!

The bad news is that the TV's colors are pretty jacked up while it's on its back facing upwards (the position it needs to be in for my cabinet).  When I move the monitor into it's standard position (facing forwards, not up) the color shifts to be a bit closer to the right colors, but it's still wonky.

I was hoping that the degauss coils would auto-correct any color issues when the TV is fired up, but no luck yet.  The degauss coils are very close to their original placement but not exactly... is that a potential cause of this?  If so, would removing the degauss coils and just manually degaussing this set be a realistic solution?  Pretty frustrated right now to spend this long prepping the TV/case and then have the colors be so messed up.

If any CRT gurus out there could help me out I would be forever grateful... this is driving me nuts.


Yenome- I didn't have any luck messing with just windows rotations... I don't know of any video cards that let you flip the screen.  From my experience they just rotate it, which will always leave you with a backwards screen unless you somehow used a 2 mirror setup or something.

Welp, just bought a "GC Throsen 9317 High Power Degaussing Coil" for $55 shipped... hope it will do the trick. -> http://www.frys.com/product/487898?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

The degaussing coil should take care of your color issue. It's a good
Tool to have. I use a bulk tape eraser.

The width I can understand. Far as I know, the monitors in any kind of cabinet are attached brackets to rails. In your case, you could've made brackets to attach to the tube eyelets, or just go eyelets straight to rails.
