Signing UpStep 1Acquire crt monitor
You need a crt monitor for this instructable, quite obviously. However, they are easy, and relatively cheep to get. There are many places that you can find one, chances are, you even have one inside of the computer that you are using right now! Here are my recommendations for places to get one:
1) Most older computers are made with an integrated crt chipset. The last crt chipsets were released by Intel and AMD in the late '90s, so almost any computer of that age will contain one. Picture 1 details the correct disassembly of one such computer to extract the crt chipset monitor.
2) Lots of corporations and people throw away crt monitors that they think are useless. Go to your nearest recycling center and pick them up! Luckily enough for us, crt monitors are generally very lightweight, on average weighing 3 times less than lcd monitors. I walked 5 miles home with a 30" crt monitor, so you can too.
3) Make your own crt monitor by clicking on this link and then typing "how to make your own crt monitor" into the search box that will appear at the center of the page.<a href="http://www.google.com">Link</a>
Picture 2 depicts a crt monitor, it should be similar to the one that you built or found.

this looks pretty good but the schematic is way too complicated. I don't see any pictures of the final product.

Actually, just in case you didn't notice, FLUX 1 is on the left side of the schematic.
