Cathode Ray Dude - CRD | Weird Stuff Exhibition 2 - Part 1 @CathodeRayDude | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
[This video is blurry and hideous due to a nearly catastrophic production failure, noted in the video.]
In this video I disassemble a couple of ancient video scalers and analyze their circuitry. There will be a part two soon in which I look at a lot of other devices that may be more interesting. Stay tuned!
