Hello all! A quick roundup of progress and happenings at the Wisconsin Computer Club's Central Wisconsin CRT Preserve, we've rescued a LOT of sets and passed a ton of them into the hands of collectors and enthusiasts!
A look at the wall from last weekend, though things have changed a bit since then as I'm trying to organize things a bit better.
We've gotten a lot of these smaller black and white sets from the late 70's and early 80's. They're good for Pong and some other oldschool "aesthetic" games (Star Raider leaps to mind), but I've got more than we'll ever use at all of our shows. They're tougher to rehome as "usable" sets as most folks seem to want them strictly for decoration.
They do look kinda neat for other things though too.
VGA monitors come in and head back out fairly quickly. This one spent only a week in the Preserve before it headed back out. I use a 2010 netbook to get a VGA signal to these for testing, thus the odd proportions.
