MADE IN THE USA
OSC7.8
Homemade, not a commercial product.
This measures about 5" W x 6” H x 8” D.
The clear acrylic shroud and the plexiglass base are homemade.
The board has pots to adjust vertical & horizontal height / width, focus, astigmatism, brightness, and
vertical and horizontal centering.
Automatically sets for 50/60HZ. The display alternates every ten seconds between digital and analog
style.
Display also moves slightly every six seconds to help prevent "burn in" of the crt. The microcontroller
and all chips are in sockets for easy replacement, and all the components are replaceable/repairable
with some soldering skills and basic component identification.
This "old school" tech has been salvaged from obsolescence by marrying it to new digital tech.
It is an entirely homemade/handmade product, including the base and shroud, which I thermoform
from plexiglass stock, and the firmware the microcontroller is programmed with, which is my own
original code.
Below are the operating instructions. It can be set for operation on
120VAC (U.S. standard) or 240VAC (some other countries) It is an entirely homemade novelty craft
project from my workbench.
