 What is up everybody? Welcome in today to a wonderful adventure into the bunker. I'm your host Steve Also known as the CRT wizard and today I have quite The CRT treat lined up for you. That is a live restoration of the Sony KV 35 v 36 that is a 1998 consumer grade Trinitron television That Sony made and manufactured and it's a beautiful TV But we're gonna go ahead and start with a long process of Restoring this set so that we could get down the line to installing a brand-new RGB kit in this lovely set all of which Shall be documented here on this lovely channel now do me a favor if you have not already Please drop a like for us everybody drop a like over there on the lovely like counter so that YouTube will let everybody know we are live and I'm just gonna check things out make sure things are looking good on the readouts we have everything looking squared away and What I've got for you is the first set of three boards now before I get jumping into this Amazing repair. Let me tell you a couple of Family stories family stories as we get everything ready here and we get things going Get cozy As we let the tension build. What should I say here? Hmm? Let's keep things keep things ah A little interesting. So what have I done? Well, I Made a mistake a Couple times this week first off check out this massive drink right yeah so dad mistake dad mistake number one was Accidentally ordering a fake Stanley because apparently an Eight-year-old girl could never be caught dead with a fake Stanley cup To drink out of Even though it's a third the price with no logo on it Doesn't matter because that was my mistake funny enough. So now I have this big lovely skin-hued colored Cup to drink from today. Thanks to that mistake and my My son is on the track team. He's in middle school and he ah Somehow I had turned in a lot of things to the Goodwill our thrift store spring cleaning, you know and as I did that I accidentally Donated his track jersey so lovely dad is on a roll here this week and I had to pay the school $30 for that track shirt Jersey so Anyway, make a make a quick little note of my confusion. I know right just read Stanley and sure It's a mute point Robcat The gal doesn't care anyway. Thank you everybody a lot of people here in the chat I really appreciate it drop a like again if you haven't already it does help it does help Actually even if you're watching a playback Um Hmm, what else is going on? Oh, yeah. Hey, race. What's up? Anyway, again, I'm working on this the ultimate goal is to get this thing. I Knew there was announcement. It's just drawn a blank in my head and I just remembered it This is great I have a big announcement that I'm gonna drop here Exclusively right now to all you lovely Retro tech people right off the bat Everybody who gets in here first. I got a super chat here from Jake is way black. Thank you Jake for the $10 super chat awesome He says hey, good morning. I have been using that PVM 1340 non-stop since it showed up Talk about a life-changing experience. I'm still blown away with the picture quality. Thanks again for everything Steve. Awesome That's so great to hear. I was so nervous. I Was so nervous I had to send that thing sometimes you get these smaller CRTs and you put them on you ship and They're going across the country and they don't always get Always get picked up for shipping and that's what happened with Jake's So we had to ship it actually through FedEx now. I thankfully I had a nice big Box that I could pack it in and And hey Belmont awesome. Yeah extra on cross-point no audio. Oh, that's fun. Extrons are always fun Hey time. Yeah, so the uh Jake bought the 1340 which had been restored on some live episodes a while back And we also did that like audio modification and heck I believe we even did like a CRT tube tester on that like months months months ago on a live stream and the Tube was just absolutely Absolutely Perfect on it What's up coaster awesome Ronnie? Ronnie Ronnie Ronnie. What's up? Yeah, so the uh the big announcement here. Look, here's the big announcement I'm gonna go ahead and tell you guys. Let me see Here's the announcement Breaking news. I've made a deal to actually have a panel a Panel this year at the Retro World Expo I don't even believe the Retro World Expo has released this information yet, but This is something that behind the scenes we've been working on for I'd say Literally just this week, so it's Thursday. I think we've been talking back and forth, but here it is Let me show you this right here in in lovely Hartford, Connecticut, everybody loves Hartford, Connecticut, right? Connecticut Anyway, I will be there hosting a panel. I haven't fully decided What the panel will be but it shall be Saturday August 24th, I believe yes, I will not be doing it Friday. It'll be Saturday August 24th And you can come there for that or you can come hang out the whole weekend I plan to be there Friday and then I will leave About Midway through the day Sunday, so I'll even be there Sunday morning So if you want to come by and you are actually in The area at all, please if you're gonna be at this show first off if you're gonna be at this show stop by say hello and Just chat with me. I'd love to say hello. I love meeting people in real life and You know talking about things and you know getting to actually experience your experiences Through whatever you may be working on, you know, whatever CRT may be coming across That's an awesome opportunity and I'm gonna make this one of those unique shows where you know, I've got two shows I do a year now Since I've added this one. I do the one in Nashville normally and that is Around I end of October early November the music city multicon which I will be at this year but this one has just been solidified and I'll be excited to be there I've been to the retro world expo the last couple years and documented my experience here on the channel So if you want to watch some videos, I do have some fun videos of that But this one will be my first experience as a presenter there So I'm excited. I hope you'd be there if you want, you know, I'll make it a memorable worthwhile CRT live in person experience that you're guaranteed not to see anywhere else. Okay Worth the worth the price of admission plus all the awesome games and things you can do in the exhibit hall Anyway, that's just the cool little pump up. Let's get in it. Let's get into this CRT. So Let me see if I can pull up Maybe some images of this whole deal for you Whoops and if I do that if I do that I Can pull up my timeline here from Twitter and show you a couple of photographs of this CRT because really it's it's in pieces right now It is in pieces and really if you guys if you want to know everything or get the quickest And and you want to be up to date the most the the free social media that I use Every day is Twitter and then second most would be of course here on YouTube But this is not something I really come on daily. This is more of a weekly experience sometimes multiple times a week but to get this You know daily updates find out what's really going on We're gonna go in here and go check out the Twitter timeline a little bit. Let me switch back to this other view for you and Here we go. I just want to show you a couple things. Let me First off Let's pause the jazz for a sec. Let's get a little bit more audio because I'm gonna show you these these clips I put up here first. This is let's see Here's the timeline First off, let me go back a few days. There's Bob will be a retro world. So will Tito from I Don't think I guess I haven't put it up here. So Tito from Macho Nacho will be there and I'm sure we'll be hanging out together So if you want to come there, you can hang out with all three of us and maybe other people All right, let's pull up using looking. Let's pull up hardware myself here This is is There we go. This is what I'm actually working on. Okay, this is The ultimate goal for this so I'm gonna be quiet and I'm gonna let this clip run Hey, everybody, what if I told you this little amazing looking piece of hardware? from Sunthar check it out RGB mux kit can unlock the true amazing potential of Huge Sony Kv35 v36 which has the chassis To add this scart in but look at this lovely kit again from Sunthar It's already pre Put together with all the resistors and looks like a diode in there and just needs a little bit of solder work to finish up and then you just use a connector and We'll be able to go in and add fork and scart and RGB to this set That only supports s video right now and composite natively and of course RF That's what we're working on. Look at that Okay, so that's what I've got here is this Sunthar kit. I've got it and I've not tried one of these yet. It's the first time but I did this is the one we're working on and before we get to that we're going to look at The CRT itself I need to get it up to Up to a Presentable place because it does work obviously you just saw the little clip. I showed it that was composite video Let me show you another clip this time. This is the back of the Sony Kv35 v36 And it needs a restoration prior to get RGB mods or modified. Excuse me But one of the things I've been really enjoying about checking out this particular CRT for the first time has been Kind of the attention to detail For documentation Sony had at this time in the late 90s. Check it out like the speakers here were tagged June 1998 but even better than like that. I have an actual label over here I didn't notice earlier on the tube itself From June 8th 1998 which is extremely cool. I've never seen that narrowed down to an exact date. So Realistically you probably could have used this information from the serial number This production date and this is probably like the tube type and found this exact Tube and like the information about when it was produced In Sony's data archives if they've kept up with that end of it But that's really cool and just a not something that I've noticed Sony do on all their sets This just must have been a really high-end Set for the 1998 year All right, that's what we're looking at as far as the inside of that thing in the back of it now Coast are asked if it's do I know the line count on that Monstrous tube and actually I don't I did not look that up yet So if anybody wants to know or wants to look that up and put it in the chat, that'd be helpful I'll read it out if it shows up. Otherwise, I'll make sure to look that up and And add that to the information for the actual episode I'll be making on this set because I'm gonna go through and do a similar episode on the restoration and then one specifically on the RGB mod to keep them to keep them like a little bit separate and And let's go ahead now. We're gonna go ahead get started here and actually doing some work. Let me Fix the desktop audio back background music engaged here we go Carcinogen, what's up? It is a fat CRT I this is like the one CRT. I've not tried to move It's it's a monster like ridiculous. It's over 200 pounds Here we go. Let's hit this off right. So the first board I've got right here is this power board Mrs. That power supply That's freaking awesome. Thanks for showing up, dude. Hope you've been well That's awesome. Is it fire So the red light is like a giant beam of thousands of you know voltage Beaming through the electron gun Yeah, we're recap in this piece. So this is yeah, the power supply from that huge television This one literally I Just pulled it straight from there. It's never been serviced and and this is just getting our wall voltage The interesting thing here is the wall voltage comes in over here straight off our if we're in the We're in the United States. So our normal AC wall voltage will come in here at 115 volts plus or minus AC We do have a fuse here The other connection points. This is just going to our degausser We actually have two degaussers for such a massive tube to try to keep the colors balanced So whenever you power this set on the first thing it does is sends a boatload of voltage through these two ports out to the degausser coil, which is that big huge copper wrap around the back of the CRT tube and That is going to give a big jolt and actually that creates a magnetic field temporarily that balances That balances out the The purity it makes all your screen colors look good Pretty much. That's that's a good way to explain it Then the rest of this stuff, you know, we're we're converting voltages got transformers there. We got Obviously some regulators to get us down to some usable voltage, which will all come out of this single port Right here and go off into the monitor because we got to have we got to have not two nine volt lines Some b-plus voltage couple grounds relay Yeah That's pretty much it. So what I like to do Good job, Belmont. What I like to do here is go through. I'm gonna. This is a custom cab kit So I'm taking these caps. I've already written them down and I've got this I need to power it up. I've got the HACCO today This is a HACCO FR 301 and what I'm going to do is I'm just going to remove these capacitors One at a time here You know, I am grounded. I have a tray Over here to collect my capacitors What else I need to tell you I've gone ahead and recorded all the values ahead of time To save a little bit. Yeah, you know, I actually haven't studied this particular Board as far as just pulling it. I literally just pulled it from the for the set there hang on Hang on one second Just caused that thing to Lock up Sorry guys There we go. Okay And so this one wow it looks like this one's been a little bit serviced before Maybe there's one of these capacitors does have some Some flux right there flux fluid twerk Only thing I do is twerk that for you. How about that I'll twerk the the hot end of that De-soldering tool and get to save that for the patreon account. Okay? Actually The person who owns is CRT is gonna be at the Retro World Expo So you'll actually get to see this live CRT most likely somehow if you really want to That's a possibility at the show. I won't be bringing it inside. I doubt But hey, you never know If enough people show up to help me move it C643 is a big one 160 volt 220 there you go Nishikon These look crusty. Look at this nasty Nasty poles right there Right there a negative pole definitely has some stuff. Let me Give it and give it this It stinks Yeah, it's not good That's another way you can tell them right Just smell it. All right One down these don't have a lot of capacitors or anything but This all the stuff these are not like these are good capacitors, but it's not anything that's that's high rated as far as The temperature rating that's all sitting around that 85 degree rating There we go 6010 that's 653 and If you want to after I pull these caps, I'll keep them in this lovely Tupperware tray This was like a little Napoleon Dynamite truck Tupperware tray. I found in my grandma's Stash of old items that didn't get tossed out From her state. I cleaned it up. I love it. It's awesome for doing these recaps They just don't make them like they used to CRTs or Tupperware But what I'll do is I'll hook up a meter and we'll check out the the quality of these caps after I pull them all So I'm not putting them back in they're junk either way I'm getting paid to remove them replace them and then install that awesome RGB kit 642 this one looks like it's the one that was replaced Because I see the evidence You know growing up. I always wanted to be kind of I'm sorry to check your ear off But I always wanted to be kind of a Detective of some sorts and I guess this is close is as close as I'll get To that detective work. Look at this. This is not odd. What is that? And that's investigating these old CRTs to try to figure out What's wrong with them how to fix them etc. What happened to them in their past lives and How we can clean them up get them great futures That's my investigative work So I guess my dreams did come true. So this thing. I don't know why there's green there That's either put there by somebody. I doubt it leaked out of this capacitor. Let's see Shall we doesn't doesn't Doesn't smell as bad as the other one. So I don't I don't know that that's gonna do it Let's bust out another one here now what you'll notice Sometimes your CRT will work fine and I've seen this especially in like BVMs and higher quality CRTs You won't appear to have any problems, but a lot of times there will be issues with all filter capacitors in your power supply unit, which is this unit and a CRT could still operate and function With a bad capacitor that's even leaking That's just a little guy Man the camera. Sorry everybody camera froze Can't believe I'm having this trouble me uh I Must have put it in the wrong. I'm about to go move it to a different USB spot shouldn't be doing all that All right, there we go come on now hang in there hang in there camera. I'm not even touching you Yeah, I'm getting some I'm getting some interference here guys. I'm gonna go switch that camera around Hang on a second. Give me one second here Okay, okay, okay. Let's try a different Let's try a different one Let's try a different one and I'll need to configure that video for you I'm gonna roll that around and we're gonna get back to work here There we go Welcome back Welcome back camera. So Get a little light there we go And I'm not gonna try I'm gonna try not to touch this thing because it's been awfully Uncooperative well, maybe that's just that USB was the only problem All right, let's continue on I'm I'm thinking this out. There it is. Let's do it again Let me let me cut the music off make sure that's not screwing up anything Let's uh Let's kill that music All right, we're gonna try to keep this running. Hopefully the ship doesn't sink Before I get this undone All right, here we go. We've got a few more capacitors here. I'm thinking this one's gonna be bad. It's pretty high on The capacitons 20 Let's see. What do you think think it's gonna be bad? So we're gonna sell it. You see how that just melts suck that up See The secret to using this tool is to not actually touch the board if you don't have to you just try to hit the legs of this capacitor up to make the solder liquefied enough and Then sweet swiftly Swiftly suck it out This one stinks. I'll tell you that much You can see you got a little little residue There left behind a little left behind there See what the next one does And if you really wanted to make it If you wanted to make the recapping process simpler on yourself You could go through and and reflow some fresh solder reflow some solder on these before pulling the caps now these are very small caps and The small caps don't usually leak more often than not they will dry out and You don't actually get leakage You just don't get anything they just dry up and and Stop working And they stop holding that Holding that energy A lot of little things here. I filter in the voltage coming off this I see which what is this? This is see this is like five volts, right? This is just a regular 7805 here. So You're getting five volts coming off somewhere between five and nine volts, right? Isn't that what it is? So this could be using different voltages just marked on the board is nine voltage nine voltage DC nine voltage the only background effect you may hear now is Cold the pug sleeping and snoring We go that's right dr. Klaw will come in We're having fun. We're removing Capacitors first and then that's the oh man. So there's not a lot of capacitors in this one We're going to pull these big two also if I can May have to use a different method. Maybe not. Yeah I don't want to mess up the tip on my HACCO FR 301 Instead, I'll try to do it another way One another way should we try another way? This way it's gonna Be a little bit trickier. I might flow a bunch of solder on them and just slowly pull it out Okay I'll set that up a little bit So I can get my hand under there flood that Flood this up Let's see if I can Okay, we'll get that one. We're gonna heat up the second side And the reason I'm wiggling those legs is I want to make sure I'm getting all the way down there Getting fresh solder float all the way down to the entire leg of that Maybe we'll try this method first Let's try uh See if we can use some just solder wick and suck that all up Got a good portion of it there didn't get all of it. It's very hard to get it all I'm gonna relieve some of the pressure Slide that guy down a little bit like that Just take some finagling here No, I'm hitting the other side. Look at that. Just suck it up Like a vacuum Excellent Now I'm slowly pulling that back on that one I'm letting it go And then I'll heat up this leg Back it out Then kind of go back and forth. Hopefully I'll be able to get it to just drop free eventually without damaging anything There we go Let's get this guy out There we go. See just like that Just like that Then we just clean these legs off. That's all just excess solder Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good thing. Hey try optimum. You had some trouble with your bvm. Did you try? You say you try reseeding the boards And an overload. Did you try the uh, did you try to reseed them again? Did you do that twice You got to make sure you do make them have good seating other if it's not re if it's not restarting Then unfortunately there is something that's shorted In there most likely and it's protecting itself from damaging other components Oops, I forgot to turn that off So the bvm's protecting itself From further damage Try it one more time make sure it's all really good seated solidly And uh, and if you don't get a power cycle like I said the best Honestly, the best way to figure out what's going on is to have a good working Version of that monitor With good boards that you can just swap in and out With your boards until you find the exact board where the fault is and then that helps you wire down which What you need to be troubleshooting on that board to get repaired Uh, it could it could be any little transistor resistor something Popped fuse, I don't know Okay, we got that big one out. See clean get out Get out of jail Let's see if I can That solder cleaned up a little on those legs It takes a lot of solder to really get those off. Look at that. It's a ton of solder It's just an unreal amount of solder. All right There's this guy Got one more to remove another big one and then I can really like clean this board up Put new caps in reflow solder on everything else on this board and um It'll be done and move on to the next move on to the next one Let me what if what if we did this a different way? Let's try a different way and see if it helps at all This time I'm going to reflow solder first on this big capacitor Put a lot of solder on that Let's get a nice and hot well this as EF lever was asking my temperature on my iron and for this hot work. I'm running seven 780 on my Celsius on my temperature reading Um, so it's definitely hot enough to damage certain stuff But this is a power supply or not Celsius. I'm sorry. That's that's not Celsius. That's uh Fahrenheit The reason I run at um That temperature which would be right around 400c on this one a little bit over that Is because it's it's very thick board. It's single layer It's single sided. It's power supply. So everything's thicker and and uh And so it needs more heat to kind of get out of there. Hey jake. Thanks for the next another super chat This is my 34 hs 510 has horizontal purple smearing to the right side high contrast texture sprites If you're having like purplish smearing It's not going to be a deflection issue at all I mean, there's a possibility. There's a power supply problem, but like I said power supplies aren't going to be like that direct If you think it's a bra, I mean I'd lean more towards the color board the Neck board Or the actual yoke As far as not being set properly or something like that um Maybe trying a I mean, have you gotten the the bigger The dog snoring his butt off Have you gotten the bigger or any kind of degausing coil and tried that at all? So if you have not you need to you would need to get a degausing coil the big one But I bet you've gotten one haven't you? Have we talked about this before j It could be that that's that's what I mean. You're right to think that that's a possibility It's not very common that that is the case, but of course you are also talking about a consumer set So like I say the quality level is not What we're used to on things like the professional video monitors So that means you're getting a step down in quality on like every every possible Place to try to save money I almost got this guy out There we go no harm another big fat capacitor out of there now put that in the tray here and Come it is. I'm gonna we're gonna I'm gonna shut my mouth for a little bit Let you guys do some asmr style Love here and I'm gonna reflow solder For you lovely folks on this entire board because it you know the process you do these There's there's not an exact like a science to the exact Like you don't have to do these in a certain Method a certain way. All right Jake when you do the degausing one does it look like it's making a difference temporarily and then it just goes back The other thing would be possibly um Yeah, I'm about to kick the jazz. Oh, what are you doing? What did I just do? Must be hitting a wire or something Let's get some music back here so we can uh So things can get back into the proper order here And then we will reflow solder. I'll be quiet. Stop it. We use stop it camera. I'm afraid to touch it because I think it's gonna Take a crap It's obviously having a connection issue with my cabling today We're gonna reflow this whole bad boy Because nobody wants to listen to cold snore. I have to listen to that every day all night It's terrible Hey, yeah, clever. I don't use no when I so this is this is flux core solder so it's actually releasing flux as it goes And as I use it And so I don't have to actually add extra flux I could just go through and do this now that you will hear a buzz A buff probably from the camera But maybe I could turn down my microphone for a minute so it doesn't act all psycho I'm afraid like my power line From my soldering iron is like touching the camera line Before it actually hits the camera on or the input on the um This is a crucial step to ensuring the longevity of your Device and power supply Hey Edward Oh, yeah, it's amazing It's like, you know the consumer thing is crazy because it's a it's a wild variation in the quality, you know You have really good ones and you have really really awful ones Just makes you appreciate those really good quality builds A whole lot more when you find them The resistor isn't nasty. Let's get plenty of solder Getting down here to the transformer I might need to go switch that camera angle lens again Her input. I mean It's always something So if you missed earlier, I am going to be Again live At the retro world expo that camera's driving me crazy. It's blinking right up in here Being a bastard Be live in person in lovely Hartford, Connecticut In august at the retro world expo And I'm going to be giving a panel Talk All about the crt live in person I will do a live shocking demonstration Of power and resiliency Resilience see is that a word? Just resilient Hey conference call The business world never stops So a little roadmap to the future here A little little slight roadmap To what's happening here and what to expect upcoming on the channel I do have An episode coming on an fw 900 full restoration completely filmed Ready to be edited and then I have this episode that will be done on this 35 v 36 kv Which is going to be a two-parter one on the restoration and then one Finally on the rgb mod That's a lot right there. That's three videos And I got some other surprises coming after that so We'll do three announcements Of the announcement in thirds as far as i'm concerned for the Upcoming episodes Yeah, the repair business is not like the real business. Yeah, tell me about it My wife works and the things they have meetings over Are bigger places It's astonishing So has anybody out there taken the Time yet to watch that Fallout series believe it or not. I actually did watch Fallout I remember shoot I remember Back in a long time ago playing the very first fall out and thinking it was just a weirdest creepy overhead game like overhead Just scary nightmare fuel when I was I don't know real young Not that young I guess pre-teen maybe and I never really played much past I played a little up to about New Vegas Never played anything after that But the show was really good. Uh, you know, it was first. I thought I was going to be disappointed with it But I was actually, you know entertained through the whole thing. So I went in the thing having lower expectations And I was actually surprised with how much I enjoyed Enjoyed the show a lot more than I thought I was going to Because you never can't tell you a lot of things you think Especially video game adaptations are Wondering if it's going to be anything Good, or is it going to be the original Mario Brothers So I enjoyed it not the show by the way, that's the movie I'm talking about for mario brothers mario brothers Do you know they tried to make Arnold Schwarzenegger be uh The bowser for that original one with John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper Like there were scripts with with Arnold Schwarzenegger involved And heck who else? I mean, I learned all this from what Dan Larson's documentary did on it recently Who else was in there? Tom Hanks Tom Hanks is the original Uh, mario with Arnold Schwarzenegger. What would that have been? like For an 80s movie Oh, man, but the the show's pretty good. It's on amazon and It's eight eight episodes I think And I see here's the thing too. I didn't I thought maybe And this I don't think this is really a spoiler So I'll say it I thought that um When I was watching it originally that it wasn't a A Wasn't going to be multi-seasonal like it was just going to be one one off and I didn't read anything about it. So I didn't have any idea and uh So basically I found out that that's not the case. I guess right. It's set up to go longer, which is great Good good stuff. It's a good show. So why not? Hey there If you haven't yet, please Drop a like on the stream Help us get some more folks in here Looking good in the neighborhood Oh, so something we'll probably do it at bob's booth bobby's booth bobby's Booth of boys is what it's going to be At the retro world expo I bet Um anyway, we're gonna I'm gonna break tools and I think we're gonna work on a crt there in the booth too Maybe The same job we're doing right now like recapping a smaller set like a 27 inch And then doing all this work And ultimately rgb modding that set doing all of it live. So you just come by Watch it happen and Come back later on a couple hours later or the next day and check out the finished product Yeah, robcat no kidding, right? Low expectations better to be Uh pleasantly surprised than always going with an attitude waiting to be disappointed So nihilistic to go in just oh waiting to be upset Pessimistic Yeah, jack and we're too happy here on crt jazzy island to be worried Now this is probably a doozy right here. Oh my goodness. Where are we? There we are I feel like I got too much solder down in here. Where are you? Mm-hmm Yes, sir. Where are there you are so Let's clean this guy up a little bit over here Oh, this is just being clumsy right now I'm trying to get this in there and Just gotta clip that bad end off There we go The problem was I accidentally put solder Bridged it between the middle Leg right there and the end leg on Let's just go in there fix it up like that What's up formally rollpats final boss. What's up? What happens you give up on the pats? To do to do the de de de de de de da Yeah Reflow and solder is the way to go on a love with thursday. Don't you know What the hell else have you got to do? Today besides what you're doing right now All right, so I will give you guys a tip. I don't know if somebody's talking about this or not I can't much to monitor the chat at this second but if you're working on a set that doesn't have a menu Or has a limited menu and is mostly reliant on potentiometers Or pots spinning for adjustment sometimes check those pots out Because they're just usually variable resistors, right? So A lot of times they will wear out and go bad over time also And in that 30 to 30 I worked on it the last video I did was about One of the major problems in that crt was the potentiometers on the adjustment Board were bad a lot of them had to replace them And once I did I could make good smooth adjustments. So if you have any issues with Spinning those potentiometers and actually getting a good adjustment The first thing to do is to of course do what we're doing today here on this board, which is Recap it reflow solder on all the points there And then try it again if you still have problems change the pots Or you can check with an ohm meter See if the pots are actually working I just tested them when you have the board out like this But those those can cause extreme issues with screen problems if they're not Maintained Maybe that's all the points on this half Actually this mostly all of it. We're over to this side Gosh, I don't know actually someone's asking if there's a way to get rid of a password that'd be difficult You'd have to check the service manual That would be my my biggest Advice would be to get actuals copy of the service manual or you might be screwed up Let's figure out which chip is running the security just by looking at it. Oh, that was dumb This is to cable suspension. Oh, that stinks though There we go All right, so about that I've worked on some Mitsubishi's that were older Man, I did a video on one a long time ago I think wound up being so gross had so many bad caps in it That had exploded And almost eating up the board it was like covered in a black ooze Disgusting A lot of these points have nothing Populated in them. So I'm not refloating solder on that was Take care of just about yeah everything That's all the solder reflow that needs to be done. There's one little spot. I want to touch up here just to make it look nicer Welcome to the jazz club everybody The retro tech jazz club Here we go There we go. Lovely stuff Lovely stuff Now to clean A little bit on this board and then we can Install the capacitors And clean it again Yeah, I was waiting final boss Moving next week. I'm moving next week. So that's gonna happen That's a secret video though Don't tell anybody Way back there is my brush. Let's get this brush Lovely stupid camera. Come on Stick with us Don't give up so easy Scott This is scott's tv dropping the 20 super chat. Thank you scott says see you at the retro world We'll stop off at the cardigan club to pick up the champ So he can uh Help us lug that sucker onto the floor This tv's heavy, buddy the champ The good old champ I wonder what happened the champ the champ Man, what was the champ's real name? Scott I can't remember See is he still alive Oh man, that was the best story ever We still joke about that Derek and A couple other guys hilarious Ooh focus, baby. Let's get some capacitors in here All right Here we go. Sorry about that getting a capacitor kit out here Actually, just the stock of capacitors. What do we got here? Get some low-hanging fruit Done Yeah, this one is massively heavy set the first one cc Some of these capacitors. I don't stock at lower voltages. So we're going to go ahead and upgrade them You go ahead and upgrade them 647 is the first Hmm What side did I start from? 648 646 647 right up top Go ahead and stick her in there And make sure you're on the right polarity Man, I'm sorry about that. The camera's still giving me trouble Today It's definitely not I definitely got to get my usb coordinated All right, we got c646 and 648 646 and 648 or 25 volt 100s Another upgraded capacitor Here we go. Here we go That's the right direction right direction Yes Both pointed down. Yes, okay. Now the next one Ronaldo Snipes You didn't have to do the five dollar super jet Scott. Thank you Ronaldo Snipes the man the myth the legend At the Carnegie club You used to be able to go to the Carnegie club couple years back The Carnegie club this is no small club Right I mean if it's named Carnegie, it's got to be something. Let's see the Carnegie club Of course downtown new york west 56th street Opens up at 2 p.m The lovely Carnegie club. Let's see what we can see here. So used to be able to take a second To let my my camera break in here. Check out the lovely Carnegie club So you used to go to this amazing club and you could buy the champ Ronaldo Snipes a drink or tell him you would buy a drink at his handler apparently would let him tell you stories about Fighting somebody. Let's see who he fought Let me see who he fought Right I'm gonna look it up so you you can hear more about my wasted time story on Ronaldo if I can type so This guy he fought somebody famous, right? Yeah, this is the champ Ronaldo Snipes did he lose the Tyson or something? Anyway, this guy was a real fighter, right A real fighter on Back in the day. Anyway, you go buy him drinks and he'd tell you about his fight career Can't remember somebody out here. He lost to super famous Larry Holmes, he's famous everybody heard of Larry Holmes Uh, there you go. This is all like 80s stuff. So he's a big time boxer there in the 80s Right Look at that. I don't see typeson's name on there anywhere Tim Witherspoon Anyway That's the big story was about him. So let's hope the camera's gonna React back anyway You could go to the Carnegie club and meet this guy and we had a good laugh about Scott getting stuck with a huge bill from him From him drinking Johnny Walker all night like the good Johnny Walker too. Not that cheap stuff Camera Oh camera You work fine. Sometimes sometimes you desire this game over Holmes, there you go. That's it. Yeah Man, he was undefeated up to that point And that went tko 11 rounds. So that was the one Right, it was the world heavyweight title. That's it. That was his world heavyweight title Fight it says the referee stopped the bout with one minute five to go in the 11th So that's what you could go. You could go buy the champ drinks and him and his handler would tell you the story about that fight And then you get stuck with the champ's bill at the end of the night possibly anyway Fun stuff see you hang out in retro world you learn all kinds of amazing stories Get to see some cool equipment Get to have fun you get to hang out In Connecticut You get to dodge bullets in Hartford, Connecticut What's not to love Really joking about that Although one day one year I did get an air bnb and it was a scary situation I was taking a shower And the shower There was this next to the shower a little window that was open and you could hear dudes making drug deals in the corner outside the window from the air bnb Oh Yeah Needless to say I only Don't use air bnb there in Hartford anymore a couple installs there good camp installs Okay, let's get this big one here What do we got there 250 or 25 which one two six one one 25 Volt 2200 Let's see if we can find those here's one nice Rubicon replacement These are the you know if you're gonna Make sure you invest in good capacitors invest in the ones that are the higher rated Like this one is Meaning that those are smaller capacitors. These are It's a bigger one that you can invest in the bigger caps lovely That's that whole area Hold it up to the light. Yep, then home Spot let's move down here 642 We'll get all these guys Go up a little bit Since the power supply I'm gonna use a better capacitor here for this 642 is a 16 volt normally. Let's go up to 25 volts. Let's do it for the champ Ronaldo and his one night against larry holmes to almost win The world's heavyweight championship So I will say like the next show that the um The show I do in nashville always has crazy like non Like actors will show up to that actors actresses gosh come on camera chill out for me actresses um Like famous ones dany trejo was there last year And uh this year like and always wrestlers old school wrestlers this year. They got jake the snake roberts I'm super excited to see that Super excited to see jake In the green room hanging out Maybe I can talk to him about ddp yoga a little bit I'm gonna go hit 641 next Not 641 661. It's hard to see those little numbers. That's when you can tell you're becoming old Yeah, so jake the snake. We'll see what he uh What he'll talk about man because that guy he had uh, you know a tough tough life Probably shouldn't be alive Still, you know, I was trying to explain to my son the terrifying Man that jake the snake was back in the day Right after he uh sick de cobra on television And made it bite The macho man right in the arm And so I was trying like oh, yeah, I can show you this on youtube. Well stupid youtube has uh censored it They have removed it So it's like censored every clip I could find of it was censored And so it took a lot away from the shock value Because he really bite the snake really bites him live when it's happening And like holds on to his arm this big huge cobra Slimes out on the stage You got to hear jake the snake story about behind the scenes of that too So hopefully I can get hit like he'll tell that story live um in his panel All right, this camera's driving me nuts everybody Let me go. I'm going to deactivate it for one second. Here's what I'm going to do Because it's really giving me Guff and then I'm going to do that and I'm going to come right back That's right plugging in a different port Okay, let's hope this will uh clear that up Ha more like uh You could definitely all right. Here we go. We're gonna get it No, it's not it's still doing it to hook on it I'm telling you what man. I'm about to just retire this pc When we move None of these things ever do what I want them to do There's always some issue kids are 12 and eight so Right at that age all right We've got a couple more down here to put in Big one What's that one six five three first? Let's go for six five three 160 volts 10 micro farads Let's go up. Let's let's increase that one to 250 volt 10 micro farad Let's give a little bit Of a power boost Right there to that filter capacitor Which is going off the b plus voltage. Let's do it Yeah, I know right have more issues with a new pc. The problem is you know what happened actually Funny enough window. This is I know what's happening Windows just did an update on the computer Before I did live stream And it wanted me to switch to windows 11, but I wasn't going to deal with that upgrade of course Right now since I said no I'm getting all kinds of issues And that's when the system starts messing up is after a couple those updates go through see look at froze again Literally as I'm talking about it This is this is got that's got to be it. It's a it's a bad windows update. I think there it's come back I didn't even change anything that time. It just did it on its own And that's what happened to the system last time. I wasn't the only one who reported it actually there were a couple of other log reports on Microsoft's website of people having the same issues with the equipment. I'm using similar like into not intel but um What's it? It's a it's a rising stuff and They were having compatibility issues of windows 10 Literally I guarantee that's what it is All right, what's the big one 643 160 volt 220 cars these are gonna be big ones that I might not have here 160 47 Yeah from vista I don't have 250 47 what does it need to be 255 60? I don't think I have 250 220 That's an odd ball Figure Oh, here we go. What's this one? I actually do have 160 volt 220 awesome. It's an ishicon Yeah, I hear you man updating windows is always such a lame experience It's not like it used to be where you would get excited about something like that Why is that man? Did I really install this one upside down or is that one just inverted? So this is where you got to watch the board. See how this one Is inverted this one capacitor Right here. See how it has the polarity that way every other one is pointing this way So for this one too, it's up. See they're all pointing down Even the blank spots on the board. There's another one these two are downs It's never fun anymore when like software and everything seems to update. It's really a sad thing you get Websites that you use for years like your bank's website when every time they do an update. What's more frustrating than that? And you realize that they've gotten rid of some of the things you used to like to use or search history urgent Things etc. All right There we go Motherboard always green not always but a lot of times it is sometimes it'll just be the discolor on the other side and What's it's not actually green? Um, what's green? I mean it is green But it's not like if all this was removed all these traces right here Would be copper so they would actually be bronze copper colored And since shut up camera. Oh, there you go camera. Just go ahead and shut off and since uh Since you don't want things to short out You paint it with a solder mask That's green. Yeah, it's actually a paint gosh this thing man I'm really just i'm really over this stupid camera and and all this windows stuff Let's do Let's check these two big capacitors. I don't think I have this 560 volt um The closest I have is is not high enough rated 200 560 and the ones that we removed were 250 560 This big old filter cap here now these Generally don't go bad. They're generally good Even though it's old Um, what we're gonna do is we're gonna we're gonna test it. I'm also gonna check my other capacitor bin And see if I have any of these high rated. I don't think I do but oh I do but look at the size difference here goodness gracious That's not even the right um This is the right size. It's just stumpy. This isn't the right rating. Is it 453 30. So no, that's not right And this one is salvaged from another device because it's so hard to find these specific ones And it's got a weird uh angled Input let me get down here Closer So we don't have any others of that here One more thing to check. I don't think it's in here 452 20 no No So let's check these and test them See what we got I'm gonna double test these things for you Lovely folks here out in tv land. I'm gonna double test them First thing it is. I'm gonna come over here and I'm gonna turn this camera off I don't want the I'm gonna use some tools that Shown before on this channel We'll do a quick test with the gme Which you can do these you can use these two tools in circuit Okay Oh my gosh Yeah, final boss. I did I watched death death uh death wish one And recently on uh For the first time I watched death wish one on laser disc. It was awesome That review is brutal crazy All right We're gonna go in here and I'm gonna change out I've got my lcr meter here Nathan you probably got a busted button That's probably all it is if it'll power on you need to just replace the button or you need to get in there and uh Engage the button permanently That way it just cuts on when you cut your power on but it's a button problem And uh, no, I don't do quotes over live streams. So That's only available. You can send me a message on this on patreon if you want for For a quote on something like that all right so I'm just checking it out here on this screen. I doubt you can see it very well I'm going to run the test uh negatives and positives here And it says we're at 500 Hang on Let me let me zoom in So you can see that a little better This is actually going to give me a reading and then I'm going to check again for uh Get a second verification and also check the esr on it 509 And it's Supposed to be 560. So that is really Really close to being um What what if If a crt uses higher voltage, what do you mean? Some of these crts can use different voltages if you put too much voltage Into it like from a different region. You'll fry the power supply and possibly other stuff It'll short out stuff because it'll send too much. It'll send over voltage and it'll fry Hopefully just a fuse but You never know. Let's check the second one also I've still got this and then we're gonna Then we're going to switch over to the other meter and get a reading on it too just to verify these are I mean, that's a better reading than I would get off new capacitors Here we go five ohs and let's say five oh seven Five oh seven right there Do do do there you go It's gonna the the too much the too much voltage thing It's going to go into the power supply first and it's probably going to blow up stuff in the power supply and the power And then it depends if there's enough stuff to stop it in that power supply If that voltage continues to go too high and surge throughout the rest of the monitor Yeah, it could blow out all kinds of stuff It could blow out the yeah, it could blow out the fly bag could blow out everything if it over volts Overvolted whatever. I mean if you're sending too much voltage out into the monitor that it's not calling for What you can do is you can isolate a lot of these So like this right? If I wanted to test this power supply after replacing everything on it You could inject power into it And then if you could get it to turn itself on Which you just power on the switch If that works, you know other ones have a manual switch. You can usually connect them to and turn them on And you turn the crt on and then you can just test this spot right here And and read the voltages coming off here or you could even heck test the voltages directly off the voltage regulators with just the ground and the other uh Other stuff you can check all kinds of voltages directly off this board You just have to be able to send power into it But then you know what's coming out Of the crt and going in the rest of the monitor if it's safe or not All right, let's let's pull out the other meter and take a look at these uh capacitors closer Okay, simple thing here This one's going to just tell me My esr This is 560. So hopefully what i'm hoping is i'm hoping to get no no reading I'm hoping that this just is at the very bottom where it's green Uh, this one's open negative and positive again On the meter and there you go. See it's a very bottom reading. So that means it's got very very low ohms And it's well. It's good Let's check the second one I know I just saw it flash. There it is zero Okay Nice. So these are good. They're going to go back in here Because those are going to be too hard to find and and those aren't the ones that are going to go bad anyway Those large filter capacitors night. I mean they can last 50 years sometimes And there's no point in replacing they could last longer three times longer like you could replace their um capacitors three times in your deflection zone and um You'd still have good power caps on those large filter main filter caps usually What's up samuel g Definitely tasty flyback. That'll get you a good That'll get you a good wake-up call all right, so Let's solder those back Before this show completely becomes unhinged And we lose all our street cred Here we go Right here. You're seeing all this live Then after this I will clean this board Show you the one-handed solder trick here from the crt wizard Yeah, baby solder with Two hands. I mean, but There we go Get this other leg tacked in back in business Yeah, plus or minus 20 so think about that. It's only gone down What I mean honestly you could buy it and it could give you those readings Like that we just got on this cap You could buy a new one and it would be intolerance if you bought a new one and it gave you those readings Oh my gosh, is that true sam? Did you really clean the board with vinegar and baking soda like a science like a volcano? That must have been fun. Let's get that down there we go and let that cool Pop that other leg on there Now see I want to make it hard I want to make it hard for like the next person that um Has to come and work on this and and what I mean by hard I don't mean it more difficult for them to work on I want to make it hard for them to realize that somebody's actually been in here and Them to think twice if it's it wanted to look like as professional As it did the day it came off the production line to do that. I need to clean it So it's not really a lot of tricks to this. It's literally going to be most Importantly using 99 isopropyl alcohol and a couple of est safe brushes. Let's get that ready Now you can also use things like you know This right this is a contact cleaner specialist quick cleaning electrical cleaner CRC makes electrical cleaner like this this stuff is expensive though, man This stuff is super expensive. It doesn't go a long way you spray it it evaporates quickly Uh, and you know, it's just it's too expensive It's too expensive So I just tend to use this well, this is not this is 91. It's actually 99 I just keep that bottle because it's smaller and I just refill it and then use an old beach towel And this is about the cheapest brush kit I could find on amazon Just an est safe brushes. I've added a couple of brushes in here. This is the important one right here This this junky toothbrush I could use a toothbrush also if you had one I wonder if I can get this in here I'm gonna lose my only other camera, right? So what I'm gonna do is just what? We'll get in here and clean this thing up. I'm not just looking my shirt, right? Come on, baby. I'm gonna lift them and mess the camera a little bit Gotta love live tv, right? All right, so let's just get in here And clean this I'm gonna show you this. It's not like tricky nothing really tricky to it We're gonna just Spray alcohol like that on it get it nice and saturated I'm just gonna brush it Like a set of teeth and they're you're Do that against the towel because you're gonna get a bunch of Flux residue on there Turn my head around so I can get out of the A big fat head out of the light No watch. I want you to watch All right, we're about done. That's really that's really All the magic you need probably Got the magic touch. There we go And I mean I know like a lot of people are gonna tell you not to do this kind of stuff, but they're all full of it, man It's like Oh, you could you can use this it's not gonna hurt it Just go around rub that a little bit and We're mostly there already Right there like that. Let's see. We're getting there. Everything's clean. We're gonna zoom in there in a second Now I'm taking just this regular brush no chemical on it. Just it's like a Wood handle thicker brush not in the kit. Honestly, I got this from I got this from a shoe shine kit Get rhythm when you get the blues Shine that shoe So when I'm not shining circuit boards, I'm off shining those shoes, baby And you know that white dust that everybody complains about on these boards Um That little brush right there that get that that get rid gets rid of all of it Okay, this and it's safe But you won't have that dusty brush or that dusty filmy stuff That you find because this was not a clean board it had dust on it. See it But look how clean it looks now right like How nice is that? Look at that. That's what you want to go for right beautiful solder points Uh Everything nice and clean And you can check everything out. Can you see it on the other side? Give it a second to uh dry out a little bit more You also can take little now this does have some metal So you don't want to use this while it's running but Well, it's sitting here. You can get in between these hard to reach areas Brush in there I also like to make sure none of these board components are shorted out against each other because that can happen when you're exchanging parts and Working on boards the board legs of two parts can touch like this And then if you turn it on they're going to be shorted and a lot of times Sony will design a board where that happens And it's two parts. It's not going to make a difference, but you don't want to just leave it If it does make a difference they try to put protection there sometimes, but Even in that case Again Don't want it to happen Don't want a short circuit anything Poor wizard good. Everything's good All right And like this power supply Look at this This power supply right here Um, there's a possibility. I know I wouldn't go by it completely, but it does actually say Down here in this corner 125 slash 250 volts No, it's probably not going to show up there very well for allegedly Right there. So there's a possibility of this set could naturally hold 250 volts And handle that through this power supply. It's just if this power supply can handle it and spit out the proper voltage Then it's probably okay. Um, I wouldn't There tell you to do that For sure without knowing but It's possibility Okay, so this is what I consider Kind of the finished Finished board there me Zoom into my face a little closer for everybody because I'm sure that's what you want to see now, right? Whoo, it's like a switch, you know, isn't that what isn't that what old slice to loans head? over the top Man back when like arm wrestling and truck driving was like cool I mean, could you imagine if they came out? I don't even want to give them the idea. They'll probably remake it Remake roadhouse remake everything. What a stupid idea Anyway, ladies and gentlemen I've had a wonderful time hanging out with you today That's Gonna conclude this episode of today's bunker show. I'm sorry. I only got to do one board the g board But you know, there's a good possibility. I could come back and stream some tomorrow We can work on these other boards. They're right here. I've got a weird Neck ish board called the wa board which controls velocity modulation your favorite crt feature and extended Convergence controls so that has Some capacitors on it. So does the neck board and These are going to get both completely reflowed with solder and then we'll bring down the uh The main board Oh, yeah, I don't know All right, sorry. I was reading something. Anyway. Hey, you guys have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day Hope to see you tomorrow. If not, I'll see you next week. I promise and uh Will Pizza with pick what is what it's going on here. All right guys. I'm not sure where the chat is at Pizza with pickles, that's all I see. Thanks again for joining me today. Everybody. Have a wonderful last year week I'll see you next time in the bench Adventure into the bunker. Jake you win. Thank you for being here the whole time. See you guys
