September 2012 pickups

Wow! Zelda and Zelda alone make that WAY more than worthwhile.
So, that TV that I got weighs about a million pounds. Took literally 3 of us to lift onto a sheet of cardboard and slide it down into my basement. It's not ever leaving that room, period.
I'll post pics in a bit. Biggest damned tube I've ever seen, that's for sure. Gonna go play with the Super Scope. It's been like 5 years since I've touched it and I can't wait to look like a big big dork with a purple plastic canon on my shoulder going "pew pew pew!" ;D

Here it is.
It's not perfect unfortunately. I wish I could have done more thorough testing when I went to get it, but the guy didn't have anything to hook up to it. As you may be able to see there's some distortion. Look at the far left side and you'll see than the tiles run down slightly diagonally :-\
Oh well. It's still pretty nice for 40 bucks. The one I got yesterday works beautifully. Wish it was the other way around.

Pretty sure you can fix that by adjusting the yoke, but messing with CRTs is a whole different world haha. They can hold enough charge to kill a person.

Agreed! I already own both of them but paid way more than $2 for them so they are definitely going to be sold or traded to help buy some of the more expensive games I want that I didn't really want to pay a lot for.

You're speaking geek to me LOL!
It has a "tilt" adjustment, which I already tweaked, but didn't completely fix the problem. What's this technique you speak of?
