[@ordinalchaos]

do you have a link to that project page?

[@TaylorTheOtter]

Without reading anything, my guess is that there's a device (probably an arduino or something) that generates the lines on the crt. The spacing of the lines (aka the frequency of the video signal) are controlled by the 'strings' which are probably touch potentiometers. The thing he brings close to the screen is either a coil picking up the electromagnetic noise created by the crt or (less likely) a light sensor which creates the sound. Something along those lines.

[@UmVtCg]

Messing around with this without having a clue sure sounds like a nice way to get yourself killed.

[@TaylorTheOtter]

@@UmVtCg if you open up the crt, definitely but that's not necessary. What I described will at most burn in the crt screen or destroy your arduino. It's all low voltage and low amperage stuff so safe enough. To avoid any confusion and unnecessary danger, here's a proper disclaimer. WARNING: DO NOT OPEN UP A CRT DISPLAY WITHOUT BEING ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THERE'S DEADLY VOLTAGE LEVELS IN THERE.
