 welcome in today I've got an amazing just two-pack here of CRTs that I'm gonna display for you quickly run through with you I'm gonna show you some things on the inside and these sets have had some upgrades been fully restored and they're about to go to a good client of mine named Tony he's about to get these we're gonna ship them off today and I thought I'd give them one last look real quickly here and just show you the spectacular amazing things that can be done with just an 8 inch screen on the left we have this 8 inch professional monitor this is a 8044 Q PVM from Sony and it is running RGB right now through a modified Super Nintendo and just looks amazing and right next to it we have the Sony KV 8 AD 12 and it actually has been modified from its original composite video input mode to add an S video mode it has a much better image with the S video modification and of course we've got the best console in the world the n64 natively producing S video for this television here's a back of the KV this is the S video input right here it is additional I'll run through that a little bit more as I open it up and show you what that modification looks like on the inside first off this is inside the shell where I installed a little custom board that just allows you to do S video and then I will have a little breakout cable right here I did have to trim this board all the way down to fit in such a tight spot because that's to slip between these two boards right here we'll look at in a second but it's got a couple breakout points on this cable and then that goes around to the modification in there it's really a simple mod there's a speaker that sits over in here but in order to make adjustments you have to slip in to these little parts down here and under there and oh my goodness so if you want more information about this modification it's very simple you go in here and you tie a point to ground and a point to the composite video input and then a point to a chroma spot so you're going to send luma and sink in through the composite video input and you need ground and then finally you need a place to put chroma in and this bypasses all the filtering and stuff done by the composite video so if you want to know more about the modification and documentation on the actual CRT itself I will include a link in the description to the CRT database shout out to Andy Kane for putting all that great info together all right so just one more thing here here is this tube this tube is a 250 line tube which is a very nice tube a 20 and it has a bunch of other numbers down there but this is a tube that you will find in some professional video monitors that are 8 inches so it has an incredibly good picture especially now since we've upped the resolution with the S video input all right well here's our finished up cool little KV set and it's just running S video I did a color adjustment and adjusted just about everything I could get to on other things like geometry and stuff just using the 240p test suite now we'll warn you that you cannot get great edge geometry with this set it's just not capable of doing that but you can get very good geometry within the centers of it and also get colors to look amazing they really do have some good color adjustment on this set and that really made the set look amazing so this is you know the kitchen top special you might have seen these in the kitchen growing up they actually have an attachment where you can hang this under a cabinet before I get these things packed up and ready to ship out I'm going to run some final checks I may even run a degausing on them especially this one right here I am seeing a little bit of a blue hue over here that hopefully we can clear up yeah you can see how we did get some magnetism introduced over here it's got this yellow hue so we definitely need to pull out the degauser and try to get rid of that all right looks like we cleared that up pretty good didn't we I know the tube is scrolling there but I don't really see any purity issues anymore now let's check the other colors looks good it's super clean in here it has been again serviced and there are some things that were faults on this monitor and all those things have really been addressed this is meant to be opened up and serviced each of these boards can be retracted out and adjustments can be made on them the input board is back here this is our little power supply down in there is our board that has our flyback in it and then this is obviously the anode cap where that flyback goes into there's a little neck board all right I've opened these and made a couple of quick adjustments inside here but I just wanted to give you another view of what it looks like here's the board where you can adjust your colors and your sub brightness and things along that nature and then the other side again has those adjustments down in here for your geometry and things like that and so this has again been fully serviced and it's just a quicker look at all the hardware in there one of the cool things is you could set these on a video loop really easily now through s video you could also do that through composite but you will have a better picture using s video on both these CRTs now I will tell you that this one over here just seems to be a heck of a lot brighter and so whatever for whatever reason this is just pushing the heck out of the brightness and contrast even more I've really adjusted it a lot I tried to match the colors a little bit using phase and chroma which you can do on the fly here but if you're looking for sharpness and just a better overall picture you're definitely going to get that with the PVM but I will tell you this one looks bright and pretty and still looks really good but either way you go you can't lose with this 8 inch combo yes we have our two CRTs packed up in this lovely big package plenty of foam there's double boxing going on in here and then this is a double wall box and this is going to be sent via air mail no ground shipping here alright guys so I haven't had the best hair day but hopefully you enjoyed this little short video on a couple of really cool CRTs and if you did please leave a like and I will also leave a bunch of information in the description of the video thanks again everybody I'll see you next time with some more retro
