Ben Heck’s mechanical television, part 1
Before LCD monitors, we had good-old fashioned cathode ray tube monitors and televisions. In an homage to that simpler time, Ben and Karen are going back to basics with a two-part project: a mechanical television. To pull it off, the duo used a trusty glue-gun, repurposed a drill and found an unlikely source for a spinning disk. Have you tried a low-tech project yourself?
