Ah, television in 4:3, just like God intended.
So how hot does it get?
That table though… look underneath and tell me who makes it.
more than looking good, playing old games on a CRT is especially great because of the reduced input lag, making games like Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! significantly more enjoyablethat being said, you should consider adding an NES to this setup
Looks cozy in a beat down kind of way. That your home or some kind of hobby project?I have an idea for you if you want. The building I'm staying in is 100 years old. Same sawdust insulation in it when it was originally built. This building is both stupid hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I've no money, but I think I found a way to make wall insulation out of scavenged plastic.The theory is, take two sheets of plastic and seal them together to make an air pocket. Could leave it at that, but my idea is this. Stick an air valve in the plastic and suck out 80-90% of the air between the sheets. Vacuum or near vacuum makes a great insulator because there's nothing to conduct heat.I've been building batteries out of screws and nails of two types and using water as an electrolyte to power smaller things in the house. Dunno about you, but I don't count on power grids very much lately. If you want, once I've tinkered with the prototypes a bit and find out their duration limits, I could give you specs on them. Good chance you could power some shit in that shed with it.

My plan for this little building is to put up a cementboard ceiling, then paint my walls with Rova Shield, then insulate with cermic fiber. If you have a metal roof you can also paint it with a solar reflective aerogel. Unfortunately mine is tar shingles.
