Current Updates and New Ideas for 2022 videolabguy 2022-02-06 | Here is the latest update on what's currently happening with my video projects. I tell you about the state of the NBTV Dissectorcam, the Cartrivsion Portapak, my Hickok 760 flying spot scanners, the NBTV CRT Televisor, the Big NBTV Televisor and speculation about other potentially exciting future projects. I also offer some resources and materials for interested experimenters. I offer starter kits for the 60 cycle reference pulse circuits for those who wish to run their own Cartrivision cameras on DC power. I show a very common low cost crystal tester and frequency kit.The subject of numeric factoring is discussed in regards to deriving various frequencies for TV sync. Here is an on line factoring calculator to make your life a little bit easier:mathpapa.com/factoring-calculatorI mentioned that I had two future versions of the Ten Four Eleanore project. I go on to describe the standard definition video version of the device. I forgot to mention that there will also be ab NBTV version as well. That one will probably preceed the NTSC/PAL version. There are two learning areas for me in these projects. Writing the Windows APP in C# (See Sharp) and learning to send data to and fro over USB. The SD version of these project will key neatly into two follow on projects, an NTSC composite video encoder and a PAL composite video encoder. Here is an Ebay search string for the crystal tester frequency counter kit: "DIY 1Hz-50MHz Digital LED Crystal Oscillator Frequency Counter Meter Tester Kit". Paste that string, without the quotes, into the Ebay search window and Robert is your father's brother.Here is an Ebay search string for the DC:DC Booster I used to step up the 12V battery to regulated 18V for running the Cartrivision camera: "DC-DC 5V-48V Adjustable Step-up Boost Power Converter Module XL6009 US". Paste that string, without quotes, into the Ebay search window and Bob's your uncle.Here is a link to more information about many of my projects: labguysworld.com/LabguysProjects.htmFind my contact information here:labguysworld.com/Site_Info.htm
Cartrivision Camer-A-Thon, Part 11 - The Cartrivision Portapac videolabguy 2022-01-16 | The supply chain issues have finally come to an end. Everything I had on back order has arrived and the serious testing has begun. As usual, there is plenty of room for improvement. But, the first order level of operation has been reached. The system works as expected. We get a short demo of the actual recording which clearly needs improvement. Especially the audio circuit. The buzzing in the sound is coming from the 60 cycle reference oscillator chip required by the silly Cartrivision camera. The equalization of the audio can and will be improved. But, I think that it matches the video quality in its own way. What do you think? Leave a comment. A thumb's up will always be appreciated. Please enjoy this silly video. ~Labguy~Labguy's World on the web: labguysworld.com
Happy New Year 2022 videolabguy 2021-12-28 | This is my end of year video for 2021. We cover some future plans and look at a really cool digital video recorder made for transferring your old video tapes, capturing your video games or camera outputs. The ClearClick Video2Digital Converter. You can find them on Ebay, factory refurbished, for about $110. Happy New Year. May your next year be prosperous and healthy.
Cartrivision Camer-A-Thon, Part 10 - What we have learned so far... videolabguy 2021-12-13 | In this episode, we learn about the camera sync timing system and the issues it presents in using these cameras generally. I discuss several options for solving the sync timing issues and discuss making the camera fully portable and battery operated. Visit my web site for more information about obsolete video and television equipment: labguysworld.comEnjoy!
Cartrivision Camer-A-Thon, Part 9 - Crystal Oscillator Modification videolabguy 2021-12-06 | I demonstrate the conversion of the camera from AC line locked PLL operation to internal crystal oscillator operation. It was certain that the circuits would work. But, it is always best to build it and test it before bragging about it. In this case, the system worked as expected.Visit my web site, Labguy's World for more information about obsolete video technology. labguysworld.comEnjoy!
The Chief, Part 15 - More Improvements, part 2 videolabguy 2021-11-24 | Let's do a deep dive into some of the circuits, analyze some of the problems and look at some of the fixes. We do a review of the video amplifier and the frequency / phase equalizing circuit. BTW, I lifted that circuit, lock stock and barrel, right from the original 1950 RCA manual for the TK-1B monoscope camera manual. Moved it straight from a vacuum tube circuit and placed it in a modern op amp circuit. Low and behold, it worked! Second, we examine the electron gun blanking circuit in the monoscope tube. I prove that circuit is working correctly beyond the shadow of a doubt.Lastly, we wrap it all up with how I repaired the horizontal scan retrace issues. (I hope. You know how these things can go!)Enjoy!Visit my web site: Labguy's World at: labguysworld.com
The Chief, Part 14 - More Improvements, Part 1 videolabguy 2021-11-22 | In this video we will see what was required to repair the video noise issues and poor phase and frequency response in the video amplifier of my world famous Indian Head test pattern generator. We get to see a little more of the KOTV monoscope tube as well. Come along for the ride as I work my way through these various issues and seek solutions to them.Visit my web site, Labguy's World, for more projects like this one or to browse the museum of obsolete video tape recorders and video cameras.labguysworld.com
Cartrivision Camer-A-Thon, Part 8 - Camera 1 Repair, Test & Alignment videolabguy 2021-11-15 | We finally get a seriously good look at camera #1. It has cosmetic damage and some slight misalignment, but is otherwise operating quite well. I demonstrate setting vertical scan size and we have a look at the video. At least this video, as compared to the last several, has some meat on its bones. Enjoy!My web site: labguysworld.com
Camer-A-Thon, Part 7 - Camera 7 Tested and Aligned videolabguy 2021-11-14 | Another quicky video. I report on camera number seven's progress to this point. It is essentially complete. The video capture system is up and running well (enough for now). This project and several other projects are discussed and comments from my viewers requested. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. I aim to please.Enjoy.My web site: labguysworld.com
The Chief and KOTV Monoscope Tube videolabguy 2021-11-13 | I was lucky enough to participate in the recovery of the image from the monoscope tube that carries a very early station ID slide from television station KOTV in Tulsa Oklahoma. Their 75th anniversary is approaching and they thought it would be great to see the image from the tube that was discovered in a drawer of the back room at their station. A little research on the web led them to me and I was more than happy to lend a hand. As a benefit, The Chief got dusted off, fired up and got the picture out of their old tube. rest assured, there will be more to come on this topic.Enjoy!The KOTV article about their old test pattern station ID slide is here: newson6.com/story/618dac155fee180c0a90de97/piece-of-oklahoma-history-lives-again-after-original-kotv-test-pattern-discoveredMy updated article about The Chief is here: labguysworld.com/TheChief_001.htmAnd visit my web site in general here: labguysworld.com

Please enjoy this quick update and let's hope that next week's episode will have some meat on its bones. Enjoy!My web site, Labguy's World: labguysworld.com
Cartrivision Camer-A-Thon, Part 3, Circuit Deep Dive videolabguy 2021-09-21 | In this long awaited video, we will do a deep dive into the circuits of the 1972 Cartrivision vidicon tube camera. The video is fairly well detailed and 28 minutes long. There are typos. This is inevitable. An effort is made to indicate this in the graphic overlays as we plow on through this heady topic. Sorry for the long delay. I started a new job and the amount of spare time has been cut back dramatically. The graphics took a couple of weeks as I had to transcribe the original spaghetti schematics into Kicad in a cleaned up and much more logical form. Hopefully this video will make up in some small way for the unfulfilled Craig 6402 video series. Enjoy!My web site, Labguy's World: labguysworld.com
Cartrivision Camer-A-Thon, Part 2 videolabguy 2021-09-06 | This is a watch Labguy Work video where all the capacitors in camera #7 get replaced. It's along video, so get your favorite snacks and beverage and enjoy the show. If you have already watched part #1, then you know that there is no satisfaction at the end of this program. We will try to give you that in part 3.Enjoy!My web site: htttps://www.labguysworld.com
Cartrivision Camer-A-Thon, Part 1 videolabguy 2021-09-05 | Let's test a few Cartrivision Instant Replay Cameras and see how many of them work. In the follow up series we will then deal with each camera individually to repair and or align each one to full operation.Enjoy!My web site: labguysworld.com

NBTV DissectorCam Project, Part 11 videolabguy 2021-08-20 | This is a rather long "Watch Labguy Work" video today. I rework the hand wired circuit board for the camera. All aimed at improving the deflection circuits for more drive current capability. The purpose of this video is to provide an opportunity for people with little construction experience to learn a few new techniques that they can take away for their own use.Enjoy!My web site: labguysworld.com
Cartrivision - Behind The Scenes (Remastered) videolabguy 2021-08-13 | Here is a short film, shot in consumer silent 8mm, in around 1969 or 1970 at Barger Engineering by Peter Berg and provided to me by George Steber many years ago. Maybe located in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale or Mountain View California. The area commonly known today as the Silicon Valley. The VCR design team were comprised of a bunch of maverick engineers from Ampex and other VTR companies of the area. I share everything I know about this film's content, which ain't much I am sorry to say. I believe that the color process used in the Cartrivision format was designed by Barret "Barry" Guisinger, with whom I worked at Sony in 1983 to 1984.Enjoy!My web site: labguysworld.com
NBTV Update and WELCOME MESSAGE! videolabguy 2021-08-06 | A short message for all of the new subscribers and old. I checked the status today only to discover it was up to 3,066 subscribers. That's over 100 new viewers in the past month! All I can say to that is....THANK YOU!Have a great day!My projects at my web site: labguysworld.com/LabguysProjects.htm
NBTV DissectorCam Project, Part 9,- A Short Update videolabguy 2021-07-27 | Since there is not too much physical progress to report, Labguy dishes some flattery on his viewers and makes a mildly adult joke just to keep your interest peaked. Enjoy!Out of date and completed project updates can be viewed here:labguysworld.com/LabguysProjects.htmParticular projects are usually updated shortly after their video series completes. Those pages are very time consuming to hand edit in Notepad! So, I save that work for when all the work is complete.
Cartrivision User Manual - Reprocessed in HD ! videolabguy 2021-07-20 | A YouTube viewer, Jecababu Babu, has asked me to reload this video. He correctly pointed out that back in 2011, YouTube liked to over process our uploads to save storage space. So be it. I can't argue with that!I ran the original MPG video file through my Corel Video Editor with auto color correction turned on. This up scaled the image from 360P to 1080p. The original Cartrivision video was 240p at best. At 10 frames per second, as well. So, here it is, folks! It is what it is. Hopefully, it looks better than the 2011 upload. It certainly can't be worse than that. After, or even before, watching this one, you can see my original 2011 video upload here: youtube.com/watch?v=pXEiJ1e6IqkKeep in mind, this program was originated on 16mm film, transferred to one inch IVC or maybe quad, then transferred to a half inch mirror master tape for duplication in Cartrivision format. Then it sat in storage for who knows how many decades. Three at a minimum. It was then transferred to mini DV consumer format for me by a fellow with a well aged playback machine. Then played into a consumer grade digitizer on an old Windows 98 or Windows Vista computer and finally uploaded to YouTube back when they processed the sh*t out of the files to keep their storage requirements to minimum. So, the fact that we have a playback picture at all is a miracle!If you like the video, please leave a thumbs up. If you are not currently subscribed to this channel, please consider doing so and be informed of when new material is uploaded. Have a great day! Labguy Out!Labguy's World web site: labguysworld.com

NBTV DissectorCam Project, Part 7 videolabguy 2021-06-30 | Today's update covers a couple of minor issues discovered in the first phase of camera testing. It is suspected that the deflection is running a little bit below the optimum scan size and there is an issues with the back focal distance of the lens. The latter was not unexpected. Finally we take a mini deep dive of the deflection circuits as they exist in the first revision of the design. If you enjoy this content, you can find more like it at my web site, Labguy's World. Completed projects, as seen in these videos, are documented there in greater detail than in the videos. Especially when it comes to project details should you decide to make your own copies of my designs.labguysworld.comEnjoy!
NBTV DissectorCam Project, Part 6 videolabguy 2021-06-22 | Who wants some good news? Then you must watch this video. The Dissectorcam made it's first optical images today. We got a very recognizable image of Felix on the oscilloscope. The video amplifier only required a modest gain of about 100x (30db). Much better than the one million (69db) that I was imagining. This video is just to bring you all the good news. Thank you for following my projects. Stay tuned for more. Of course. The results of the entire project will eventually be documented on the Electronics and Video Projects page at Labguy's World web site. See more archaic video hardware there: labguysworld.comEnjoy!
NBTV DissectorCam, Part 5 videolabguy 2021-06-20 | A short update on the progress of the image dissector tube camera thus far. Circuits are finally being constructed now that the 3D printing is completed. We begin with the sync generator and go from there. I tell you about the current state of the project and then proceed to ramble about future plans and thoughts. Enjoy!My web site: labguysworld.com
CRT Vector Yoke, Episode 2 videolabguy 2021-06-16 | The XY vector deflection yoke built on a ferrite torroid is completed. I show the final assembly and then test it on my favorite CRT. Check it out. It's very satisfying.Visit my web site, Labguy's World: labguysworld.com
NBTV DissectorCam Project, Part 4 videolabguy 2021-06-11 | Tonight, we take a quick look at the progress of the 3D printed camera tube enclosure and the details of mounting the lens to the unit. I describe how I mated the lens holder to the third plastic segment of the assembly. That was quite fun and kind of screwy. (No pun intended!)

Tri_Chrome Videography Series #2. Lets gitter done! videolabguy 2021-05-15 | Labguy tries out the color filter he built in the part 1 video. The Sony AVC-3400 BW camera is used to take a color picture. We go through all of the basic steps required to go from an obsolete analog TV camera, get the pictures into our computer, process them to correct the various shortcomings of this method and then combine the separate red, green and blue monochrome images into a full color picture. This is not a deep dive by any stretch of the imagination. This video is purely covering the basics. It should enlighten many folks into how this can be done and hopefully inspire a few of you to give it a try yourself. I know that many times in my life, I would finally see how something, I thought was to complex for me to understand, could actually be relatively easy in the end.

Tri_Chrome Videography Series #1. Mrs. Muldoons Arts & Crafts videolabguy 2021-05-10 | Tri_Chrome Videography Series #1. Mrs. Muldoon's Arts & CraftsToday, Labguy builds a nice simple red, green and blue filter card for shooting some experimental color images using black and white television cameras. He reminisces about his third grade teacher, Mrs. Muldoon, and talks about arts and crafts which most schools no longer teach. Mrs. Muldoon did teach me how to fold a piece of paper perfectly in half, which you will see me do in this video. I didn't mention it because I take it for granted. Thanks, Mrs. M! It's a long video. But, well worth the watch because it is something different from the usual type. Get your Elmer's glue and blunt scissors and follow along... if you dare!Enjoy!My web site: labguysworld.com
Cathode Ray Tube Projects #2, Another Mystery CRT! videolabguy 2021-05-06 | Today we check out the 03M317GY three inch rectangular CRT from Thomas Electronics. A cute small tube with no data sheet.

Servicing My Shiba Soku (Asaca?) model 216/1 NTSC Color Bar Generator, videolabguy 2021-05-03 | This is a painfully long video about my favorite NTSC signal generator. If you are NOT interested in watching me work on the electronics and would rather just see the demonstration of this high quality signal generator in operation, then go ahead an skip to 50:20 in the video and Bob's your uncle.This color bar generator was manufactured in Japan circa 1978. I bought it from a low power television station in Oklahoma(?) in the mid 1990s. I used it for many years and then it ultimately ended up in storage for several more years. It was recently fetched home and it was determined that it was time to replace the electrolytic capacitors within. A total of 14 capacitors are replaced in this session. Fortunately, I don't show every one of them being changed. Unfortunately, I do show TOO many of them being changed. Once you've seen one component changed, you've seen them all. Right? No. Not really. The key detail I try to convey is the corrosion of the printed circuit boards caused by the leakage of the electrolyte from within the capacitors themselves. A great deal of the work was involved with scouring the corrosion from the copper in order to get the solder to flow onto it again. I am delighted to report that the results of my efforts were quite successful. This device will be able to provide another forty years of service.If you enjoy material of this subject matter, then you might enjoy a visit to my web site, Labguy's World.

All of it delivered in a delightfully silly, nay glib, manner by yours truly.Enjoy!
Cathode Ray Tube Projects #1, Testing a Mystery CRT videolabguy 2021-04-26 | Today, Labguy takes a break from the cameras and sync generators to play with a really cool compact "picture tube" that he has had stashed away in his junque collection for far too long. Time to fire it up and see if it works or is just another useless nick nack. The tube is the M1234P31 made by Electron Tube Division of General Atronics Corporation. This tube is a cute three inch by three inch blue/green phosphored type that is a mere seven inches deep. Utilizing magnetic deflection and electrostatic focus as well as having an aluminized phosphor screen. This tube would have made a very bright display with a very long service life and low burn in.

Denson Electronics Monoscope Project, Part 2 videolabguy 2021-04-23 | In today's video, Labguy kicks ass on the gremlins of the video monoscope. The poor fella (I am assuming it was a guy, you assume whatever you like if you must) apparently never got the thing working. He was obviously excellent at vacuum tube electronics construction. Troubleshooting video circuitry not so much. Well, it ain't actually easy after all. So no blame to you, sir. I hope you are still with us, still kicking and you see this video. You have been vindicated! It wasn't your fault!We get a quick lesson in how the monoscope functions, a demonstration of the two major problems encountered and their ultimate resolution. Labguy tells us about Al Denson, the proprietor of Denson Electronics, the greatest electronics surplus store ever! Specializing in used and scrapped video equipment through out the 1960s and 1970s. Almost every old engineer I know has fond memories of Al Denson and his gold mine. RIP Al, you were a hell of a great guy!If you like this kind of content, be sure to like and subscribe.
