Or tell ME how to make one? I just need one that can access a database and return an answer.
I'd like it very much if the entire BK Precision CRT Setup chart (with all the tube numbers and the CR adapter and heater voltage info) was in an app on my phone so I could just enter a tube number of a TV that I find in a thrift shop and it automatically tells me what adapter it uses.
I know it wouldn't get much traffic other than from us, but it would help some of us a lot. I tried looking up "how to make an app" online, and there is some info, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Doesn't need to be fancy. Just an input box with a "Enter tube number" and a "Search" button, maybe some results of tubes with similar numbers (perhaps one letter difference) for those tubes that aren't on the list yet?
Anyone that can help me figure out how to do this, or is up to it themselves?
