5.5" B/W TV as a kit

Post by mrtinb »

Hi.

Quite a few complain their TV has problems with the ZX81.

I stumbled over this 5.5" TV as a kit on AliExpress. It has both antenna and video input.

Maybe that could be a solution for some.

3 different sellers.

Hackaday had an interesting article about a similar kit and a video link to someone building the kit. The link is https://hackaday.com/2022/02/09/build-your-own-crt-tv/

Maybe not the best beginner project as it might have up 20000 Volt, which can kill you on a bad day.
