Update - SOLD (before I could even post about it 😅) Enjoy Tim!

Sharp 36U-S60 - Serviced and RGB modded

Rarely have sets for sale myself. This just happened to be one that fell into my care that was in disrepair. Put some time into it, and the picture quality on this massive 36" bubble just goes to show it was worth the save!

🔸️Massive 36" bubble screen, but light enough that 1 strong person can move on their own, or 2 people can move easily! 150lbs
🔸️SCART RGB modded for super crisp gaming. Want close to that PVM level crispness on a larger screen?
🔸️Tested and replaced bad caps
🔸️Replaced damaged power cable with a new one
🔸️Cleaned inside and out
🔸️No scratches or chips in glass

Never personally owned an SNES... grew up a SEGA kid 😅

Wanted to pick one up as a “garage test unit” for CRT mods - something that could take some abuse and that I wouldn’t be too worried about. So I picked up a rough salvage unit off eBay.

Let’s just say what started as some basic repairs turned into a full overhaul... I got a little carried away. But this thing came out looking fantastically sharp 👌

It’s a 2-chip model, and I wanted to clean up the picture more like those coveted 1CHIP models, so I also installed the ThunderTechnologies SNEdge GitHub project. I added some RGB before-and-after pics of that enhancement, and it’s a night-and-day difference!

I also grabbed a cart that would allow me to run 240p Test Suite for my purposes - will pickup some official games locally soon.

Recapped, reflowed, new fuse, new back plate, tons of clean-up... then I decided: why not a new shell too? Fancy garage unit now... lol

CRT spotted in the wild! Looking for model info...

Owners seem to be hard up for cash, might be able to negotiate taking it for a very nominal amount. 😉

Quick update on the broken dinglehopper. All's well!

Everything is dialed in, and finalizing the rgb mod now - but here are some composite pics to enjoy in all their glory!

This dingle-hopper broke free of the thingamajig... I wiggled it around a bit to make it feel better, before removing and applying new stickygoo. Still a little ways to go on it

Finished up all the painting with my Dreamcast shells!

I wanted to give them a proper level of prep, paint, and finishing - with some designs that would give them a 'semi-official' release type of appearance.

I'm very pleased with the results from this initial test batch - what are your thoughts?

Bottom labels for them should arrive next week, and just have to create some files for cutting new feet and felt pads to give it a 100% finished look!

Will post studio level pics of each as they wrap up, and list them for sale on my Ko-Fi shop soon. I'll open up a 'custom request' option for others in my shop pages soon

Special thanks to my guy Anthony Rasile for the clear coats! They worked fantastic

Okay I lied... JGR I have to hold off on - I need a transparent purple shell for my idea there, and they are sold out everywhere 😅 Thought I had one.

So instead, Shadow joined in the mix!

Most all graphics stages are completed - clear coats coming up next! I'm thinking matte/satin finishes for these. The color shifting space theme will get a gloss top though - and that one looks soooo slick

Honestly, even if these don't sell - I have no problem displaying them in my gaming room 😂 But can't wait to show you all the final results!

These completed shells will have an estimated price point of $250 - That's also installed, and shipped back to owner (US shipping included) Will post them up on my Ko-Fi shop page just before sharing the finished versions!

Not the most expensive for custom shells, but right in that middle ground. I would prefer people owned and enjoyed them after all. Each limited to 1, so I can finally move into my custom VMU project! 😁

Last update before the finished versions will be shown and posted for sale! Estimating 1-2 weeks as I want to have all finished before sharing

Sonic
Knuckles
Tails
Crazy Taxi
Resident Evil
JetGrindRadio
and a Space design

Shadow will be in next round - his shell was too damage... 💔

I decided I'll only make one of each design - that way I can take other requests and keep designs fresh! (TBH they're a lot of work, and not even to the graphics yet lol)

Price will include installation and return shipping to you in domestic US - you just ship an original to Clearwater, FL for the swap! (sorry, will not be shipping the shells only)

Awesome opportunity to have other services applied if you want any upgrades or mods done! See other pics for examples

You can always message me for more details 🤙

Sony KV13-VM20 VCR Combo TV

$899.99 + shipping!!!

Calling all influencers and price triggered enthusiasts - looking for a new crt???

Kidding of course, it's not for sale before everyone goes all bonkers on me... 😅 Just showcasing the restoration!

This was my first attempt at restoring some cosmetic damage to a TV shell. The top of the case had a cord chemically fuse to it during storage with the previous owner... I wanted to fix it up to add this set to my own little collection!

Pictured the process of correcting and paint matching the top. These two rattle can colors worked very well in achieving an oem look! Finished it off with some matte clear. Very satisfied with the results - can't even tell the damage was there!

Recapped the power and deflection circuits, reflowed the neckboard, and gave it a thorough cleaning including the vcr heads of course. Little bit of picture tuning and this little guy will last me a good while!
