Hi,
Possibly not for this forum, but sort of connected with vintage TV technology.
I watched a video on YouTube last night about a 1987 Aston Martin Lagonda luxury car.
The presenter was showing us around its features and gadgets. Some of them were ahead of their time, including not having mechanical instruments on the dash. However, instead of the LCD screens, as used today, it had three CRT displays giving the usual information; speed, fuel level, water temp, etc.
I'm surprised nobody thought to use one as a reversing monitor, but there y'go.
Cheers, Pete.
