La Philips P254 (1972) rappelle une époque où la technologie imposait le respect.
Pas d’annulation, pas d’automatisation.
Chaque opération comptait.
“faire un calcul” était un événement.

La Bowmar 901B n’était pas “smart”, mais elle était révolutionnaire : LED rouges, touches Klixon, et un cœur Texas Instruments.
Un ancêtre lourd, cher… et absolument mythique.

Who's got any tips on why the colour saturation on this little 7-inch TFT monitor is so poor? It was originally built for use in the broadcasting industry, I think, with its BNC and S-Video connectors. It could be twenty years old or more.

It's a RON-6070. I've opened it up to see if there are any obviously failing electrolytic caps, but they all look good to me.

What do you think? What else should I check?

(The image is otherwise clean and stable. I've been using the S-Video input with an Atari 140XE which has correctly saturated output over the same interface and connector on a different monitor.)

Suddenly a loud bang from the lab at the local #hamradio club ‼️ 💥🤯

Luckily nothing happened to the people in there, but I guess it’s safe to say that this vintage capacitor decided to quit its job 😂

Always wear safety glasses 🥽 when testing and troubleshooting #electronics, especially if it’s vintage gear where you have no knowledge of its state and health☝🏼
