Like vinyl and cassette tapes, cathode ray tubes are experiencing a comeback in some circles. Retrogamers want to experience old titles on the fuzzy displays they were designed for. And makers have been de constructing them for all kinds of projects: In January of 2020, we featured a vector graphics clock based on a CRT originally made for an oscilloscope. But oscilloscope CRTs are relatively rare, while analog television sets can literally be found littering sidewalks. So when I came across a listing on eBay for a cheap portable black-and-white television with a 5-inch-screen that looked in almost mint condition, I thought I'd take on the challenge of tackling this old technology.

像乙烯基胶带和盒式磁带一样，阴极射线管在某些方面正在卷土重来。Retrogamers希望在其设计用于的模糊显示器上体验旧标题。而且制造商一直在为各种项目构建它们：2020年1月，我们推出了基于最初为示波器制造的CRT的矢量图形时钟。但是示波器的CRT相对较少，而模拟电视机实际上可以在人行道上发现乱七八糟的东西。因此，当我在eBay上看到一台便宜的便携式黑白电视（带有5英寸屏幕，看上去几乎是薄荷的状态）的清单时，我以为应对这种旧技术将面临挑战。
