If you have or find a Sima Pro Ed/it 3, without any bends or modifications you can make it look as if you have circuit bent it.

There are four trim pots inside this machine that when adjusted in certain ways will get similar lines and outlines to some more well known analog circuit bent effects.

There are three in a row closer to the bottom that will adjust the color and brightness somewhat. The one you want is the far left pot, turning it as far as it will go counter clockwise will start getting you these wonderful effects. Mess around with the trim pots inside and the sliders on the outside to find a nice spot you like.

I don't know enough about circuit bending yet to figure out how to adjust them without having to open the whole thing up, any ideas would be wonderful, but it looks pretty complicated in there.

The last three images are video feedback on a crt tv. I also used a composite video dimmer that is described by u/thunderfalcon_3000 | here and my shit visual of that here 1-5k potentiometer, try some out, works better with some tvs than others

thanks for the tip. I dont have one of those but ive tweaked around with those pots on other equipment before with some luck but forgot about it. thanks for the reminder!

Great tips

I’m curious about your last diagram that you made, the 2 inputs on 1 pot

What does that do exactly?

I’ve got a dirty mixer video with sound I’m working on, and would like to add as many switches without having to add power

One is an input and the other output. I call it a composite dimmer, it's basically just a pot in the middle of the signal with the pot "turning up" resistance. More resistance less video signal. Turning the pot clockwise turns down the brightness of the image. It messes with the color values a little bit too. I use it mostly in feedback loops. I'm sure you could put it in between one of the inputs and the mixer pot in a dirty mixer but I'm not sure how you could do it
