Currently obsessed with: All things Steampunk
from Curious ExpeditionsLately I’ve been wasting many, many hours browsing through images of all things Steampunk on the interwebs. This works well with my Etsy addiction.
So when I came home last night to find my television broken, I saw it as a golden opportunity to try my very own steampunk mod. Okay, I’ll admit that when I first noticed the power button was broken off I didn’t immediately see this as a good thing. Fortunately, Chris was able to open my eyes to the possibilities.
Worst case scenario: I’ll open up the tv and never get it working again. But as the tv was originally found in a dumpster, then sold to a friend who gave it back to me years later, it cost me a grand total of negative 5 dollars. While it would be missed, it would not be a great loss.
If everything goes well: I’ll have bragging rights to the coolest television around that only gets 3 channels.
I’m so looking forward to satisfying my anachrotechnofetish. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on my progress.
In the meantime, here’s some of my inspiration:
