How to repair CRT cataracts part 1 of 7

This video was recorded on 8-3-08. I have made a 7 part video to demonstrate the concept of CRT cataracts. How to identify it, and repair it. The CRT chosen is from a 1967 RCA Victor CTC-25 color TV receiver which uses the 25AP22 CRT. This is a procedure that I developed and has proven successful many times.

@GEARHEADGUY92

Thank you sir for contributing your useless commentary.

At first, I figured you were some punk smartass kid. I come to find out you're a 57 year old man. Kind of embarrassing how immature you are. You're comments are a total insult to my intellegence.

Actually CRTs are useful because they don't have fixed resolutions and don't scale images. That alone makes them useful for older pre-HD media and most game consoles. They also don't suffer from the many problems that LCDs STILL suffer today. Not only that there have been MANY CRTs (such as the Trinitron G520 I'm using) that do ridiculous resolutions and have higher picture quality and instant response times than ANY other display type.

@GEARHEADGUY92 : Ever hear of a HOBBY? The pleasure of breathing new life into something old and fondly remembered? Apparently you lack the capacity for appreciating those kind of activities. To each his own.

Tube TV so it's worth it. Now if it was a solid state maybe not so much...

Cool vintage TV. I have a 1979 Sony MEGA Watchmen portable analog TV. It still works, but I don't use it. It's only analog. =(
