 Hey everybody welcome back today. I want to go over some finishing details on the 1943 MD Sony PVM that I just got done doing a couple of videos on and that monitor has been fully restored and it is finished and it's actually listed now for sale. I started an eBay auction for it so I'll show you that listing and I'll go through a little bit of the details in a minute or two but before I get into that I just wanted to go through I found a couple of or just one major document for the manual or that's the service manual for this monitor and this other little technical manual right here but it's not actually for the 43 that's not listed on here it's a 44 and a 42Q however this is the closest to the 43 MD manual that I was able to find or even specific details on it a lot of the things are exactly the same between those monitors and then some of the details are different however the internal makeup of them is the same so if you happen to have one of these two monitors or maybe even a 24 or 2042 then you're going to have the same kind of you know monitor as what I'll be talking about here so if I go through a couple of pages on here I wanted to show some more important information I'm going to zoom in and it's going to be right here where it says super fine pitch Trinitron picture tube so this one does have a 600 TV line resolution monitor that's pretty standard for this medical grade monitor and every other PVM except for the higher end m4s and the L5 series all the other ones pretty much have 600 or less TV lines now something else it's interesting it says here directly under that is that there's an RGB input yes there's RGB on all three of these monitors but apparently for the 44Q you do get component so you may get I have not seen one of these the 44Qs so you may have actually component switchable or a different component connector on the rear it says it's got a selection so it looks like it's a selectable one and then on the 42Q as well as the 43MB like the one I had been working on there is no component support so that's one of the major things on there there's also no support for audio on that RGB line so someone's asking if you could do something else well you can obviously feed your audio directly from either your SCART adapter or your SCART switch or whatever you're using you can feed that audio even if you're using BNC into a Xtron or some kind of other device you can feed your audio outside of that into a stereo system and just use something different besides the mono speaker on these isn't that great to begin with but that's pretty much the most important part you know it does do PAL and CCAM and NTSC and it does have external sync it has a couple color temperatures on it and if I switch over here and show you the exact listing here real quickly we'll look at some of the important things on here so the first thing to note is this is for the United States only again I'm sorry this has been this is going to be a real tough one to get packed and shipped right now with the things that are going on so shipping is still available it will be $200 to get it packed and shipped to you wherever you are in the continental United States it ends on 417 which is next Friday at 5 13 p.m. that is central standard time and pickup is available still so you will be able to come pick it up or I will probably just meet you at somewhere like either a grocery store or something like that if you'd like and be able if you're local to gallets in Tennessee then that's actually in the middle of Nashville kind of area north of Nashville but I did start this monitor bidding at $1 and it's up to 72 now it's been on there for almost two days so I just wanted to really put this as low as possible which is dollars pretty low so I'm sure that you know we should go through though and I want to show you exactly at the even at the end of this what's the major problems on this monitor first off if you look through the pictures which we'll take a closer look at here the sides here did have a lot of dings and scuffs which you can see that's a good one right there there's another one in the corner over here that's a pretty good scuff so there's paint scuffs on the shell and that side of the shell is not as bad and even if you look at say the front bezel or you're going to have you know visible areas where the paint's chipped off on the sides of these bezels I didn't repaint this there's a lot of like scratching like that now on the back I do need to show you this real quickly this was not a part of the repair videos but the exterior of the shell had some cracks in it in the corners here and even some of the pieces cracked off up up here you can see where there's some larger vents than they normally would be it's where pieces cracked so the what I did was I used some really high quality epoxy and I repaired those cracks with the epoxy so there won't be any problems with the cracks but they are visibly there there was some repair needed in each corner so there's the other corner it wasn't nearly as bad in this corner but you know that plastics almost 30 years old and it definitely had gone through some stress here's a quick look at the back again I went through a lot of this stuff in detail in those videos you know here's the things like you've got done the back coiler temperature as well as the vertical hold so there are some controls you can do for geometry back there just not very much again this one has been calibrated but there you go you got the this one just has the analog RGB input with sync and then it's got two line a's which are b and c composite and s video got a vtr and a digital RGB input which are pretty much useless so here's another closer look at that other corner scratch so you know if you wanted to get in here and paint it you could I thought it looks kind of cool cleaned up and still having the characteristics of the scratches on the stuff but here's one of the scratches that wasn't very cool and that is this screen buff scratch type it's very light this is with like a highly reflective light on it so I could get it amplified as much as possible I'll show you a video clip reel here real quickly just so you can see what I'm talking about on here we'll take a look at mr bald bull real quick and I'll show you this this scuff or scratch it's visible right here a little bit so if it's if you got a gameplay and it's very hard to see unless you're like looking right at it but here in a second you'll be able to see a little bit better but there's this little screen scratch on the screen this tube does not have any type of a you know protective lens or anything like that it's just got the glass on there so that is there you know somebody did link me an interesting post about how to repair that and I thought that was kind of interesting you know to to fix glass but it was a lot of buffing and you know a lot of chemicals and things so I don't know if I'll try that I'm not going to try it on this one but it's interesting to think that somebody probably knows how to buff out some of those scratches and things and that would definitely be one of them that you could try but it's not that big of a deal the next thing that is still obvious with this and I did go over this in that video I recapped and recalibrated the monitor but there is still some screen bow here in this corner slight bow remains even after adjustment and recapping so I went over that in that adjustment video but I also just needed to give you that information in case you're looking at this and you haven't seen that video there is that with the screen and the convergence was greatly improved on it but there still was you know a little bit of beam convergence not really much but I mean it's not like it's the it's going to be the super sharpest CRT you're going to find because again it's almost 30 years old but it does look great and so I'm just trying to give you as an honest and straightforward information on it as possible so again if you you know if you want to know that's that's kind of a little bit more information about this monitor now if you do have component and you want to get it into this monitor you can always get some other kind of device that just converts that component to an RGB signal and that will easily be put into this monitor and so I've got you know a lot of other things going on but I wanted to give this quick update to that monitor so I'll put a link in the description and in the comments below on the exact listing for this monitor and again its shipping is available and so is pickup it ends 417 and thanks again for watching I'll see you guys next time with some more retro content
