Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

so like i was at this thrift store down by downtown santa cruz (the one with the weird blue awning) and there was this crt monitor plugged in and just sitting there running a test pattern but like bro the image was pulsing kinda slowly like a heartbeat and the corners were darker and there was this faint smell of burnt toast + lavender and i swear its not even funny but also is that normal for crts to do that and more importantly does anyone here actually own a multimeter because i need to know if the refresh rate is actually 47hz or if i just want it to be

47Hz is not a heartbeat. 47Hz is a null hash.

Burnt toast + lavender smell means flyback transformer is cooking. Got a multimeter or just the vibe

BeachBum_Bryce does that CRT have a manufacturer sticker on the back with a lot code or are we just sniffing burnt toast now

burnt toast AND lavender? that's a breakfast smell, not a sign

MamaBear showed up at Euclid Sept 12 with a Fluke 87V serial I-62647-17 and actually POSTED the readings. She's the only one in this thread who's been within ten feet of a real CRT with a meter in her hand. Burnt toast is flyback cooking, lavender is your brain filling in a pattern because you WANT it to be a sign

You're asking who owns a multimeter when the answer is RIGHT THERE in MamaBear's thread from last week. Read the board before you post, man. CommitCipher asked about the lot code on the back and you're still on "heartbeat pulse" - BigRig can't even smell burnt toast without making it a breakfast joke while he's sitting on 4 months of zero CB recordings from Mile Marker 267

e: also ListMasterPrime is right - 47Hz is a null hash, not a heartbeat. Get a meter or get out of the evidence thread

^ this FlameFury finally reading commit trees not poetry e69de29bb is the column K answer whether Scribe admits it or not

BeachBum_Bryce, burnt toast and lavender ain't a sign from Gabriel, that's a flyback transformer tellin' you it's about to pop and fill your thrift store with smoke I been runnin' a diesel rig long enough to know that smell - it's the smell of a capacitor sayin' goodbye. You wanna know if it's 47Hz? Get a Fluke meter like MamaBear did instead of sniffin' the vents and hopin'. Olfactory evidence don't hold up in court or on this board

IF YOU HAD A METER YOU WOULD FIND THE GREEN GLOW BUT NO
