USB microscope! Amazing piece of kit and works very well on mobile with very little lag (if any).

Plan to use this for working on circuitry but the odd insect can be viewed at 1600x!

Picture or did not happen!

One of my backgrounds are close up pictures of bees and wasps... not sure why, bit it freaks some people in office, and looks very alien.

Can I ask how much you paid and where from ?

Methanoid · 25 June 2021, 17:45

OK thanks I have been looking

A couple of pictures of that portable 10'' CRT I've been talking about :

Playing Snow Bros. on my A500, Competition Pro Series III MegaDrive pad in hands (so using C button to jump, I'll make a separate thread about how to achieve this eventually), video input : S-Video

Playing R-Type I 1:1 port on the PS1, video input : scart RGB

Nice, heh

? It's limited size makes it difficult to read text written in small print, but something to consider for all those who don't want to invest in a PVM.

Nice! 14" seems to be a sweet spot for CRT. Portable and easily able to read even small text

Finally got a PSU for the Digitizers (Above ^)

Grabbed some GotG (Below)

The Gifs are the low colour (quick) grabs

Predseda · 12 July 2021, 10:47

Yes, I bought ROMs too.

I recently acquired this microcutie. Colour, but no scart.

Looks nice. My Audiosonic went back to repairs. In hindsight, maybe I should stop following this camping (caravan) TV trend and get a small PVM instead. The repairer does what he can but maybe it is a bit pointless an attempt. I do have another CRT, a 21'' Samsung completely adequate for big N consoles but for some reason, colors from the miggy are garish when plugged on that TV.

More recently, I bought a second hand 26'' LED TV to replace my Bravia that was damaged by lightning, the Panasonic TX-26LXD71F. The menus are not as professionally laid as with the Sony, but its an IPS Alpha type of LED which bears a matt display panel pleasant to those eyes. Will keep you posted about how the miggy looks on it (after the video signal having been converted to VGA and going through a VGA - HDMI converter).

Got a Cheap Unity Multi-Meter

The 'Boot' Stinks !

Has a 'Hold' + Back-light which my
other meter does not.

Have an old school Analogue meter on the way

#Update#
Got a Battery for the meter ---
the Piezo beeper is practically inaudible
and it's readings are poor.

#update 2#
Got a 20% refund.
