I got a nice gig working for $7 an hour + all the junk I could ever want.
I intend to get a neon sign transformer soon. :D

Does anyone know of any cool things that can be done with any of this before I go ripping it all apart?
One think you might be able to see is a couple of things that are basically transparent LCD's designed to be put on overhead projectors and make them into computer monitors, I intend to make a nice projector with a combination of those and that mocrofilm reader, watch movies on the ceiling :D:cool:

Turn the CRTs into oscilloscopes.

Or, experiment with the flybacks.

Or, perhaps even use them as computer monitors....

That oscilloscope idea is a great one there... Ima do dat :D

I intend to use at least one of them as a parts source, and CRT monitors are SOOOOO last millennium ;)
I have a LCD monitor that I got today that I intend to get working and replace my current CRT monitor with :D

Plenty of goodies in there. Ive wrecked several microfilm readers, the magnifying assy is great for looking a solder joints on PCBs for dry joints.

That NEC monitor is a great boat anchor. You do any fish'n?

John
Wouldn't a CRT float because of the vacuum?
or is the glass heavy enough that it sinks anyway?

In any case, I think that the old TI monitor looks like the prefect candidate for an oscilloscope.

the microfilm reader would be work great as a scope if you can get it to work...
Better than a CRT?
(don't think it matters, you should see the inside of the reader... it's been outside without a screen on it since last fall... Parts buried inside are my only hope for it.)
