The second life of old TV





Once in ice cold winter time ... I climbed up to the attic. (We bought a house a few years ago, but not everything I found here)) And there is here is a marvel of engineering, 1964-1966 model year.
39 photos and 1 video.

"Holy wire," I exclaimed, "A grandfather will soon celebrate the anniversary." 50 years old. For TV legendary brand-record 64 considerable period and it would be sacrilege to just leave it lying around on the attic. So grandpa was officially dropped from heaven to earth. That's about what it looked like:

Empty-empty crate:

Appearance of the lacquer I immediately did not like. Take belt sanders and humming a song to remove the lacquer tree. Mentally, I can imagine at this moment the Pope Carlo Antonio Stradivari and other great carpenters.

Based on the pure innocence of children's sense of curiosity, I decide to look inside. And what do we see? And we see what we bought came to "Slando" 15 tidyuymovy monitor the latest generation of the sample in 2002.

So, we proceed to the assembly. It was decided the chassis, which was filling the TV used for other toppings. Therefore, the chassis is exempt from all superfluous. Turn off unnecessary, unsolder, bites.

Quite unnecessary throw:

But for us nothing is impossible. We climb into the coffers find a profile for drywall, drill and zaklepschik. With these simple tools and profanity in several stages fasten the panel to the chassis, sliding it forward about five centimeters. I forgot to photograph in a rush job, so just a photo tool:

We find in those same bins radiator for chip amplifier. Remove from some dead video card, just to drill holes for fixing:
