I have two questions for the net:
1) I have a number of old mechanical tv tuners and composite
video monitors. Can anyone point me to articles or information
on what I need to add to the tuner to build a free standing
device which puts out composite video?
2) Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the mechanism used
by the electronic home game version of 'Wheel of Fortune'
to capture the phrases from the TV screen?
From just looking at the box it appears to have a lens
and photodetector on the front-- but I haven't been able to
figure out how the data is encoded and sent. Any clues?
Replys to me please.. if there is an interest I will post it to the net.
Thanks,
Mike Barnes
