   Gah, for the second time this year: A CRT with no vertical deflection!

   Why does this keep happening to me? Why do all my 30-40 year old electronics keep breaking?!

     okay when I googled the model number of this 1988 CRT, the last thing I was expecting was to find the product page from the manufacturer, who are still around.

     it's a useless page, but still.

     I need an adapter that does HDMI to that 10-position card edge standard for tiny monitors.

     I'm sure there's very good reasons why this doesn't exist, but I still want it

     maybe I can hack together a circuit to drive a TTL CRT from a Glasgow

     @mmu_man I can't find any consistent documentation!

     here's an example pinout: https://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-monitors/OmniVisionMonitor.pdf

     @niarbeht yes! it's more annoying with me, and harder to fix

     @foone Have you been 30-40 years old?

     I think you can answer your own question.
