Draining Philips/Magnavox Projection CRTs

This 13-minute segment shows the removal of discolored coupling fluid from a Philips/Magnavox built rear projection TV in preparation for disassembling and cleaning the CRT cooling chambers. This is part of a series of clips showing the entire CRT refurbishment process. This was a paid repair performed at a regular TV repair shop in 2004. This repair goes for around $300 even today.

Does this mess up the convergence at all doing it this way?

@lssu86 The convergence and focus may have to be adjusted on the colors that were disassembled.

Hey I have a Phillips Dptv335 65" is the process similiar to this?? When I go to the menu and I go to convergence, the blue doesn't show up, it only show a green cross. The tv looks blurry and the looks like halos here and there. Is this do to the fluid?? Thanks and great video
