Hey everyone!
JAYSTEPHER with my latest custom build.
It is a Lego Television Set.
Here we have Jay The Surfer.
On the right-hand side, we have our controls.
On the bottom, the infrared sensor.
I used a few red transparent plates
and transparent brown flat tiles
to let the signal pass through.
This is a working Lego television.
I will demonstrate that in a bit.
Here's the LCD panel.
This took some time to center this up
with tiles and plates.
I used some slopes for the bezel.
We do have side-firing speakers.
I was messing around with how I was going to do the speaker grills.
They turned out real nice.
Here's the rear.
It's even flat tiled as well.
Here's the other speaker.
Let's slide these two levers in
to open up the back.
I did use some lattice plates
to let some air inside the set.
Here's the inside of course.
The chassis and the speakers.
This was a television rescue.
The chassis is from a Sylvania television.
I had two capacitors and a voltage regulator that went bad.
So I end up replacing those,
and the TV came back to life.
However the original cabinet that was with the TV
was brittle and falling apart.
So I thought why not make a working Lego television with the parts.
Here's the locking mechanisms.
Now there is risks when building with electronics
mainly due to static discharge.
You have to be careful not to build up a charge
and zap out our semiconductors
which are ICs inside.
One zap could pretty much cremate your semiconductors.
Here's the bottom.
It sits on four legs.
Now let's see this TV perform.
We have the wall wart.
I'm going to feed this through the hole.
I did not want to attach a panel on the back.
It would not be sturdy enough to press on.
The Lego bricks and plates that are used in the television are not modified.
Every brick and plate is stock.
So no plates have been altered in any way
or bricks have been modified.
There we go!
Feed that through.
Now I live in a very rural area.
We do not get TV over-the-air very easily
except for a roof antenna.
So I have to feed in a coax.
This can get pretty tricky.
Just like with the power adapter,
I did not want to mount the F-fitting on the back.
Now if anybody's interested in more Lego projects
that involves technology, let me know.
I'll sure make more of these.
This was a really fun project.
Very challenging.
Honestly this is my favorite moc yet
other my houses and bathrooms of course.
Making sure that this is getting locked in place.
It feels like it's taking forever to screw the F-connector in.
I think I got it.
Making sure that it doesn't fall off.
Let's close up the back.
Lock our mechanisms.
I don't need the back to come out.
Let me plug the TV in.
Okay!
If everything goes well,
this TV should turn on.
This coax is a bit stiff.
The front buttons do work.
There we go!
Turn up the sound a bit.
Let's see what's on TV.
It's got a nice picture
for being a small TV.
I don't get a whole of over- the-air television channels.
Seems like there's mostly infomercials on.
It is a nice television nonetheless.
Trying to find something interesting to watch.
We even do have a remote for the TV as well,
and it does pass through the transparent tiles and plates.
Very handy.
Really nice TV.
I hope everyone enjoyed the tour of the Lego Television Set.
Thank you for watching!
