the very nice Trinitron
TTL/analogue monitor
A trinitron TTL monitor!! I had no idea such beasts existed! You've
just named my next Holy Grail to find.
The unit I have is badged 'Torch', who were a company who started off
selling add-ons for the BBC micro (including second processors) and then
made somewhat odd unix machines with a graphical front end, like the XXX.
The monitor is clearly a Sony chassis, although the input connector is
proabably Torch. It's an 8-pin DIN socket, 2 of the pins of which go to a
piezo buzzer in the monitor. This socket is mounted on a little PCB that
is then connected to a header plug on one of the PCBs of the monitor.
The chassis is 3 main PCBs (PSU, deflection, video) with a couple of
daughterboards. Being a SOny, there are some very helpful annotations on
the silkscreen, including things like the CRT pinout. It's one of the
older Trinitron CRTs with the coaxial EHT connector for horizontal static
convergernce adjustment.
Vey nicely made and easy to keep going :-)
