Photo of inside of CRT

[Thomas Veik]

Anyone know where I can get a photo of the inside of a CRT? From the
front as if the front glass were removed? It would make interesting
computer wallpaper don't you think?

It would be a lot less interesting than you think. Mostly,
depending on just how far in you "dissect" it, you'd see
either the shadow mask (which will look pretty much
like just a large expanse of sheet metal), or, if the
mask is removed, you'd be looking down the
throat of the thing and seeing mostly glass covered in
spots with a black material.

Hmmmm,

Well I have a hammer here and a camera!!... heheh. 17" ok? Yes, that would be an amusing
wallpaper.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but it's a good start!! Basically, you want it to
look like the front glass is missing, heck, just animate electrons trying to fire at the
glass

Alternative suggestions:

- broken glass
- inside of monitor with whole CRT removed

Both are rather easier than a picture of the inside of the CRT funnel...

I've also thought about screen failures to be used as a screen saver
(mangle the image to typical poor CRT look... bad convergence, fuzzy,
retrace lines, pincushion/barrel distortion, nonlinearity, missing
color, slight rotation... each rather more than a decent CRT would do in
a random combination of strengths).

If done well it could really look like a broken monitor...

Hey, I like that idea even more. Lots more detail.

That is a good suggestion!!


OR!! How 'bout Microsoft's newest screen saver:


Blue screen VXD fault illegal operation CNTRL-ALT-DEL any programs not saved will be lost
screen?!??! heheh,

That would freak out all the people you work with at least, seeing a blue screen!!!!!
hahah.

ok, now back to work ;(

There was one around about ten years ago that showed the inside of an
AT-style computer - power supply, disk drives MB etc.
I would have added a gerbil on an excercise wheel

For extra funkiness, make a video driver that does this in real-time.

Extra credit if it could be set so as to undo bad convergence/retrace/
geometry/...

Or make it blur and shudder when coming out of screensave mode, a la

degaussing.....

WARNING if you want to break a CRT be sure to breal the tit inside the
base FIRST to relieve the vacuum, or the tube could implode when you
crack the bell.

Yup, trying to cut open a CRT (or even just cutting or disturbing the
tensioning ring) without first releasing the vacuum, is a very painful
and messy way to be nominated for the Darwin Award. (g)
