Plastic case shifting as it cools
The real MVP of the post
This just triggered a memory of the smell of the TV cooling down Like a metallic smell with crackle of electric in the air. And touching the screen as it cooled down and you could feel little tingles of charge leaping at your fingertips. Thinking back now, fat screens were really weird.
Perhaps the smell of ozone? CRTs also produced a tremendous amount of static too. I remember playing with the static on my monitor when I was younger. CRTs were pretty cool. Very weird, too.
If you thought the static on the OUTSIDE was fun... Never disconnect a cathode tube assembly from the power board without discharging EVERYTHING first. It's lethal. https://youtu.be/a6FMpvs71pc
(Apologies. Idk how to do piped links)
(Edit: tracker removed. Thank you!)
Hey wait.... Yeah what the hell? They did do that.
That is one latent memory that I simply don't remember.
Basically the CRT I still use on my computer. Pops at least once a week and wakes me up.
Why do you use one? Just curious
Just thought it would be fun, it was only $3 at goodwill so there wasn't much reason not to.
Haha! What the heck caused that? It did happen often enough that I relate to this meme.
That was just the magic fizzling out after a long day.
The mini people inside must get tired of working all day.
Hv discharge from the tube/caps
I don't think we're talking about the same sound
Cathode Ray Tube love. Let’s have a little static when we touch it! ⚡️
Either high pitched whine or the HBO theme.
Not sure what this is referring to, mine make lots of noises but I wouldn't describe any as a crack
Not to mention the scart Cable, big cable going from tv to PS2. I had to move the tv.
Entering REM :)
Huh. A non-useless "nobody:". It's like spotting a coelacanth.
It’s still completely better with that cut off tbh
