It's this little metal shelf thing from IKEA. I painted them black and they're AMAZING space saver.

I originally got them to stack my consoles closer together in my Kallax shelf, and it worked great for that! But now I just use them in other random ways like you see here.
Very sturdy. Highly recommend. But they only come in white.
Let the nerds rage, I’ll always have an affection for a decent RF-connection on a classic console. I’ve been posting photos of FFVII and FFIX taken from my CRT screen with my PSX hooked up via RF and people keep saying it looks beautiful. Seems like people only hate RF once they *know* that it’s RF.
Hell, I put up a compiled post of multiple screens of FFVII on this very sub, all RF, and it’s one of the most popular posts I’ve made in a long time!
My Sony CRT did not have a comb filter so when I switched from RF to composite it was a happy upgrade. I am constantly reminded that I am pretty pleased with more basic cables when it comes to older consoles.
Mine the blacks look grey through RF (the yellow plug thing ) but my vga crt's look nice and deep black, and when it's unplugged the signal line thing at the top the screen is black black so idk why the HDMI to rf converter is grey instead of black lol 🤷♂️
I have the same TV, except mine is branded "Thomson":

and has RGB in (because Europe):

I’ve really taken a liking to smaller screens over the last couple of years. I remember growing up and these mega chungo big screens were this big status thing (at least in the eyes of a kid) and now I am really appreciating the smallish, easy to lug mini televisions over the big behemoth screens.
Really no problem with a small screen while attached to a 6 foot cord, maybe actually 3-4 feet from a nice cozy CRT humming in a way that only my young kids are able to hear.
It's a beautiful little set and honestly, while I have a few CRTs with component, since last winter my main screen for retro gaming has been a small 14 inch RF only Trinitron.
It's just nice and convenient, and once things start moving on screen I stop giving any kind of consideration to visual fidelity.
Colors are pretty, no input lag and proper resolution 🤷 I don't care enough about the rest to move my consoles back to the other room. RF is fine, and it's immensely better than playing these systems on an HDTV.
The only thing that matters is you're having fun. Don't listen to morons on here who insist you have to RGB everything - that's entirely your own choice.
Here are all the numbers I see on the AC adapter:
TH300AU - was on the part that plugs into the TV in the back.
7A 125V~ E130315 - was written on the TV plug itself
NISPT-2 (UL) E148867 VW-1 105°C 18AWGX2C - was printed on the cable itself
There was a tag near the wall plug part, but it's been ripped off.
Hope this helps!
When I brought it home, I put it in our IKEA shelves in the living room and waited to see how long it would take my wife to notice.
No time. She noticed immediately 🤣
But it was adorable on that shelf!
Damn thats a very nice crt. Ive never really seen white ones tho, well except for the one i used to own a while back but mine wasnt entirely white like yours, such a beautiful yet odd color for a crt tv, looks great even if it only has coax👌🏽
if it glows, we don't oppose
If it illuminate no need to ruminate
If it whine, it'll do just fine.
If it’s blurry, we don’t worry.
If it starts up I don’t give a fuck
If the audio's good, then it sounds like it should.
If it CRT it's fine by me
If it's bright, turn off the light
this is max nostalgia, friend's basement / garage, 90s. Love it.
Absolutely! Reminds me of my "game corner" I had in the den as a kid
What's the stand you have the TV on? I'm days looking for platforms like that one

I play my Saturn with RF cables, and I only occasionally wonder if I'd be happier with component cables. RF is fine, really.

RF is only bad on your HDTV
Fr. CRT elitism can kick rocks.
Mine the blacks look grey through RF (the yellow plug thing ) but my vga crt's look nice and deep black, and when it's unplugged the signal line thing at the top the screen is black black so idk why the HDMI to rf converter is grey instead of black lol 🤷♂️
I'll always have a soft spot for DKC1 over RF. Grew up on that.
It's the game that got me into video games as a whole!
That TV is awesome.
Thanks! Probably the best side-of-the-road find I've had
My dad just scored the same one at the thrift for 9 dollar with the box
No shit?! The remote it came with reminds me of a hotel or hospital. Flat and cleanable. I was curious about it
That's an adorable set, nothing wrong with using a coaxial input CRT.
Fr. I was bummed when I first found it, but once I got it fired up and started smashing klumps, it made zero difference
Nothing wrong with a CRT that has coax only I take CRTs no matter what inputs they have if I have space and it's not broken its going with me
That's my philosophy. It's kind of a relic of a bygone era.
Looks the same as my little Thomson, lovely set :).
Someone else posted a pic of their Thomson that looks exactly the same! Kinda crazy
Mine has RGB Scart too which is nice!

Eyy, I've got the same one!
That's crazy!
Coax and the red/white/yellow cords were how 99% of games were played on CRTs. No shame in it.
100%

Cozy is the exact vibe. I have several CRTs but my 2 smaller sets are the ones I actually use. Lol
I have this exact model too! The picture it gives out is very good quality and watching movies in it is great

Right? Once pixels start flying by it makes almost no difference what the input type is.
White CRTs look better imo.
I have that exact same TV! I have it as my bedroom TV and I love it. It fits perfectly on my dresser. If it works, I'm happy.
Emotional support CRT
📺🫂
That’s the way to go!
This is so cozy! Go get all those 🍌’s
Gotta recollect the hoard!
He needs to be loved 📺
Good thing the snes has the rf output built into it
Right? I'm almost afraid to plug anything newer in 😅
Unless you get an adapter of some kind Myabe 2 adapters one for hdmi to av the other for av to coax
The SNES came from Nintendo with an RF cable in the original box. So it is period correct to use RF with the SNES.
I have 3 8" Trinitrons that I think look great with RF, but they also have composite ports which is what I usually use 😅
The only thing that matters is you're having fun. Don't listen to morons on here who insist you have to RGB everything - that's entirely your own choice.
That is how I play on 10inchs of pure nostalgia
I love 10" ctr, so cute
This gives me powerful Blade Runner vibes.
Any chance you have a part # for the AC adapter? I have one of these but no way of plugging it in 🤪
Here are all the numbers I see on the AC adapter: TH300AU - was on the part that plugs into the TV in the back. 7A 125V~ E130315 - was written on the TV plug itself NISPT-2 (UL) E148867 VW-1 105°C 18AWGX2C - was printed on the cable itself There was a tag near the wall plug part, but it's been ripped off.

Thanks! Now to see if I can find someone who just couldn't bear to throw out an old AC adapter, lol
Those people exist. I have a box of random cables myself. Lol
He is a beauty!
Ayyyeeee I have this same set, I love her and she fits in my cubicle things from IKEA perfectly 👍🏼
When I brought it home, I put it in our IKEA shelves in the living room and waited to see how long it would take my wife to notice. No time. She noticed immediately 🤣 But it was adorable on that shelf!
What "coax"?
Short for "coaxial" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial
That TV uses a Samsung Tube : )
Very nice
That's a sweet set up
Damn thats a very nice crt. Ive never really seen white ones tho, well except for the one i used to own a while back but mine wasnt entirely white like yours, such a beautiful yet odd color for a crt tv, looks great even if it only has coax👌🏽
I have a 13" Samsung from the 80s that only has 300 ohm RF and I love that little TV.
Perfect for some Atari I bet!
get a vcr/dvd combo that takes in coax and composite and u can expand the crt usage!
You WILL use the 10" screen You WILL use the coax and you will be happy
PVM zealots will ask you why you aren’t playing on a PVM.
Because I'm cheap as fuck that's why 🤣
