Where did the LCDS/CRT Blog go? 4. Final shiny things!

Apologies, I had to take it offline.
I seldom update my Blog but I post plenty of shiny stuff on Twitter here:

In the meantime, and to counterbalance the bad news, here are some shiny things I’ve made during lockdown in no particular order:

  1. I have to be honest, I’m disappointed that you had to remove the blog. Was there any legal reason that forced you to or is it that you just wanted to? IMO no amount of pretty pictures can replace the technical info about how to apply the experimentation you’ve done to add curved acrylic to lcds. Sad to see the shift from blog to twitter as well, I don’t use twitter as it’s not an effective way to go into technical detail about projects.

    1. Hi, it is quite a long story but a well known technical site wrote a really lazy article full of errors and completely misrepresented the project, When I challenged them on this, they became really REALLY unpleasant. They resolutely refused to remove it so I removed the content they were linking to. Sorry, I didn’t want to take the blog post down but they forced my hand.

      1. Thanks for replying. You gotta do what you gotta do, I do appreciate at least knowing why. Anyway keep up the neat work and hopefully you’ll be able to get back to writing blog posts every once and awhile, I enjoy them quite a bit.

  2. Thanks! I write my stuff with the assumption that it might help someone somewhere (My day has been saved many times by the information on an obscure blog somewhere). It’s nice to know you enjoy them! 🙂

    1. Is there a way that you can make the CAD files to the CRT lens available? I would like to use them for a retro computing project that I am putting together

  3. We are interested in your method for the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, UK. We have some round CRT tubes displaying 0’s and 1’s in memory on one of our exhibits. Trouble is, the supply of VCR97 tubes that still work is a bit tricky. So simulating it on an LCD behind a round cut out in the panel of the desk top unit would be great. I see that you have had problems so are not able to show what you did. If you could PM me that would be great.
