Silvertone Streamer: Give me your quirks; for they are my features
summary
A 1950s Silvertone gets an LCD behind its original face with custom 3D mounts, a microcontroller (CircuitPython) reading analog voltages, a Node.js server, and websockets to a static page driving HLS.js; physical controls are a 10-pole rotary switch for channels and lamp switches for four feature toggles. Three.js shaders recreate scanlines, barrel curvature and horizontal/vertical hold drift, matching NTSC oddities like 525 lines and a 39-line invisible raster; the build streams live and the quirks behave as promised.
