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.

nooooo too slow! i can't believe someone got this calculator for only $20-odd dollars. these never show up on ebay. this is first time my alert triggered since i started watching for one YEARS ago.

to be fair it was like 3AM when it got sold so i didn't have a chance haha

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.

Yeah, that's some vintage #FirstPersonCamera gear here...

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☝🏼

A bit of careful soldering, fresh capacitors, and another classic saved from the bin.
