 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome in today. Hey, welcome back to the bunker. It's Thursday Pardon me We're here at our normal midday scheduled time. I know it's 12 30 and What else have you been waiting for but this lovely lunchtime special where you'll get to sit around with you? Good old friend Steve here and we're gonna get back to basics We're going back to the classroom and so I want to first off say a huge shout-out to the people I already see in The chat and I see we did have some early people show up. Thank you very much and if you could Please just do me one small favor today, and that's hit the like button so that everybody else will know that class is in session and Professor Steve has on his serious work shirt today as ready to Walk you through a little bit of a restoration process on a CRT PCB and this is kind of a good starting point It's one of the starting points. I always Well, it's one of the points I always start at let's say when going through a restoration And it's something that is going to be affecting every single CRT out there on this planet So thank you. I see all of you coming in saying hello. Hello to everybody. I'm gonna do some shout outs here in a minute Thank you so much for again taking this Lovely time out of your schedule to be here today and join me for this journey now As I do that I do want to have a special again shout out before I get started with the shout outs to you in the chat I have a shout out for how about this teachers if you are a teacher I Want to say a special shout out and thank you to you because You are the hero. Okay, you are the hero. Look my My crazy school district decided. Hey, you know what would be fun. Let's have a school day in the middle of the week after Halloween and You think okay, maybe they just don't have extra days in their academic calendar to work around it Oh, no, we have two random days off from this next Monday and Tuesday coming up For scheduled teacher workdays So instead of you know breaking that up and given those teachers and kids a chance to sleep in and relax After what's possible. I mean, let's say is there any holiday that's more? Impactful to sleep schedules when it's during the middle of the week in Halloween, right your kids staying up They're eating sugar. They're crashed. They fall asleep and they're a wreck to wake up in the morning and it's it's like hell Hell on wheels, baby, you know it if you have kids, you know it if you don't you were a kid You ate some candy and you did this to your parents. At least I believe you probably did. I know I did right so hey Shout out to you teachers who had to get up and deal with all those cranky kids Because the only thing that left me some peace of mind was knowing that I got to drop my kids off at their school And I wouldn't have to see them again till about three in the afternoon once they had somewhat stabilized from The shock of being woken up early in the morning after Cracking out on some sugar, right? All right. Well, that's the special shout out. Thank you all teachers Everywhere in the world everybody has teachers just like everybody should have CRTs So thank you all so I'm gonna get here. I'm gonna drop some shout outs here So some early conversation going. Oh my goodness. I cannot let's see. All right We got Steven Norton first up. Hey Steven. Good to see here Andre. Welcome back. Always great to see here in the chat chat Excuse me Chris Broome. Thank you for coming Ronnie S. Good to see you demon child Cozy cathodes welcome back Jonathan Pottle W. Morford Brian Harmon Robert Coutilier About cab time Jeff. Hello everybody. Thank you all for being here today and thank you For saying hello in the chat and look you can go ahead and say anything you want to really in the chat That's that's cool. That's with the program. So it's really a A chilled out place to go in there and enjoy yourself So as I said, I'm back in the in the classroom if I check over here for a second the cold sleeping somewhere else I know he's asleep But he's not in this room. So if he comes back in I do have the cold camp set up We'll check on him and I've also got a desk cam set up where hopefully I'll be able to show you Just a little bit more on this PCB that I'm working on So that is all set up. Thank you everybody for all the amazing things. You're saying there in the chat really appreciate it so let's get let's get relaxed here before we get started and There is one more thing that I will tell you about as we let the show kind of warm up and we get ready for our main topic of the restoration and First off, I'd like to show you these things. Everybody's probably seen these things in ACRT that's that's a PVM or something if you have a PVM or You know, you've seen a PVM. You've seen these these little badges now. This one's tore up pretty bad I'm pretty sure Cole got this one got a hold of it and chewed it up a little bit But this one came off the front of a 20 inch I believe it was an M series 20 inch PVM where it just it sits in the slots in the front with those two Extensions on there. I believe this is like aluminum maybe or something. I'm not sure because I don't think it's magnetic at all Hey Kevin, thank you for coming welcome in yeah, so This is the original and this is for a 20 inch and then under that I have a 13 inch now This is not the same size for every single one of these okay This is a good condition when they came out of a 13 inch some of them vary a little bit for example If you get the 20 30 series, they have an indention That varies and so does the 40 series if you get a 13 and 19 inches of those they have an indention in the plastic and There is can vary a little bit so those can be more of a pain in the neck to deal with if you're missing your Peace there and what I've got here is a is a gift. I got from my friend and We'll just put his info here. I talked about him briefly graphics gear see there graphics gear I hope you can see that pretty good, but he does these cool overlays really high quality overlays for controllers. This is an example of an awesome one that I've I'm getting ready to use for Link and Zelda and Here we go. This is what I wanted to show you. He sent me these which are prototypes of just a peel-off and print Version right and then it's got I believe a little overlay on top of it. Maybe but I Was gonna say that's about as good of a Swap out for some of those that we can find so that is cool because I'll be able to use these There we go and if if you know if you're just looking at my screen right now It's probably difficult. It would be probably difficult to see and tell which one is which right? Anyway That's cool. So that's that's just you know, that's just cosmetics But it does it does make a difference to some people to have that little badge on the front So it's nice that we can at least find some way to maybe reproduce that at least I'll be able to offer that to my Customers, I don't believe that Sony would probably be too happy if these were for sale So that they're ever gonna actually come on sale, but if you do want to go check out graphics gear It's at g r a f x g e a r on Instagram Twitter and Facebook or graphics gear calm some shade I can only see the website there check out the other things They have on their website. Can you see it? Can you see it there? Cool. I think you can All right there. There we go. I think we finally caught it right there in the middle. All right Thank you for sending that in and I will be testing that out. I mean it should work fine It's not gonna be perfect, but what can you say it's better again than having nothing so welcome in Raceroni welcome in Luis and and Welcome back anybody anybody new welcome in and It's Nine minutes in it's nine minutes in. Oh, I do have maybe one more thing. I did buy I bought a Couple of CRTs. I'm going to pick them up tomorrow from an estate sale Locally I always say locally. It's still an hour and a half away. Hey self-elected So I have to drive an hour half a way to get them, but it's and I don't know why I bought them It's $30. It was two of them. There's a Montgomery Ward CRT which I'm kind of interested in and it comes with paperwork. It's from the mid 1980s and Then there's a portable color both of them are color there then there's a portable TV and I also bought a camcorder and it's gonna be a VHS camera basically So there's a JVC camera that I bought that I can film straight up VHS tapes with if it works So I bought a bundle of those and that was the real expensive thing the $60 buy It's how much the auction got up to I could not believe how high the auction got up to well for the There were a bunch of VCRs on there and they got over $50 for VCRs now. They were nice ones, but still crazy What's up snuffer stuffer welcome in cadet? Yes, sir. Let's get going everybody So that those those things are going I'm gonna go film a little bit of that Tomorrow, but the crappy thing is is I keep having to use my phone to film because my dog on it my RMA is still going on or my return with The good old boys the GoPro they still got my camera they said I'm they said I am approved for a replacement but They're just taking their sweet time getting it to me All right We're gonna get rolling here. Hey Daniel. Thank you for coming. All right, everybody. Here we go. All is well All is wonderful. Let's do this. All right, we're about to get started here. We're only about Just over 10 minutes dr. Claw. Thank you We are just over 10 minutes into the show folks. I will put a timestamp below That says this is the point where the main topic is going we're gonna get class started. We're going to Take a look at the seaboard, which is what I have right here and for anybody who's seen a CRT with the back of the shell off Okay, these are on the back of the tube and this is the CRT socket right here And that's where it plugs into the tube now That's plastic with a bunch of connection points that connect to those individual points on your tube into the Electron gun and then all the electronics for that are built on to this small board generally And then you have connection cables that go out to different points now We'll tell you this is a high voltage board So you do not need to play with this board if you do not know what you're doing first off second off This is safe because all the powers turned off And you don't actually have to do the discharge procedure on any CRT to get this off if you can if you can get it off and removed It's okay, but don't do that while obviously it's turned on because there's high voltage going in the back of this at these points And if you do this or something you will burn your hand up, okay? so with the Now that I've put the fear of God in you all let's Let's talk a bit about What's what's the problem with these boards generally speaking now if you have this this is good Okay, if you have a CRT it works fine, and you're like man, I'm concerned about it what do I need to look for on this circuit board and This is a good one to look for because this one is one that tends to develop problems And it's easy to get to okay And it's it becomes easier to see those problems the more you familiarize yourself with it. So if I switch over here Now this is so first off you look here on this side of the board all right and There's some components here that like again if everything's working and you're not troubleshooting this for an actual problem We're just talking about like a restoration process, which is happening on this set right now I'm looking at this set and just from looking at this board You can tell things that I told you see how there's there's actual burn marks where it looks browner and darker Where my fingers are on this board and that is literally from the high voltage and the heat that's coming in and out of this neck, okay? and What that does is that just To get to break a long story short What's happening is that heats up in this area and the first things that wind up going are these really heat sensitive Components and as everybody knows the heat sensitive components on a board like this that are gonna go out most commonly and Most frequently would be the capacitors these electrolytic capacitors Now sometimes you get a board like this that will have a dozen electrolytic capacitors. Sometimes they'll have zero and This particular variant only has two we have one over here Then one over here So we're gonna do even though these probably are okay. Maybe we'll We'll pull them and maybe we'll test them if we have time afterwards But we're gonna change them out anyway because it's just two of them And it's part of this restoration package to just change these two out so no matter what we're gonna change them Okay, now everything else is okay on the board and doesn't need to be changed, but over time Just like those capacitors The solder itself on this board and I'm sorry my clip camera will glitch out from time to time but The solder on this board itself will begin to break down and that's just from again heat High heat and then contracting and being cold high heat cold high heat cold High heat cold and that's why they call it a cold solder joint I'm gonna try to get in here close and focus in on The back end of the neck socket, which is one of the places that develops cold socket or cold solder joints Right around where you see The curve on those points Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he'll maybe they'll come in later Daniel the Belmont probably has to go back to work today Might be nice over in Look at that H. Look at that H2 though Do you see right between the H2 and the 6 how it looks a bit funky? It's it we need to make sure that Eventually that solder will break down and you'll lose continuity there and you'll end up with problems. So hopefully My camera won't end up with too many problems and I get to focus again. Okay. There we go. So as a preventative measure I recommend at least Going in and reflowing the solder on these high heat element and points. Okay but You can't go in and just do it with Extremely high heat you need to make sure your solder isn't too turned up because you might melt something inside some of these Components down here if you hold it on there too long So you want to make sure your solder is good your temperature on your irons good minds it. Let's see 650 650 Fahrenheit Hey shadow mass welcome in James Boone. What's up? Thank you for coming roll Pats welcome in Rockhound. Thank you. I do I mean sometimes it damages the board, but it does not you know, it doesn't really matter Because the the points that are burnt are literally dead space on the board. It's just Just plastic Okay, so Now I don't You know if we're if we're trying not to spend a thousand dollars on our tools all you have to do is make sure you have a good soldering iron and some good solder Wick right here solder wick This is the one I've been using Chemtronics Size number four and we should be able to remove these two capacitors pretty easily with this solder wick. Hopefully So I'm gonna start over here on this side see 705. I'm gonna let my iron warm up and Just touch that solder there There we go Let's see if we can get that good And flow And it's all right if you know you need to see look at that most that just came right on out Let me see if I get closer. I don't know if I can see here. I'm trying to do this Get you right in here see 705 So you just saw it. I mean it wouldn't see what's loose now. I've got that one leg free now if you really wanted to you can go in here and put solder on in this ahead of time like fresh solder and It would flow better more than likely Whoo but But when you've done it this many times and you got that magic touch You've got that magic touch and Then you just slip that little crap pass that are right there out and There we have our first little victim a 16 volt 100 just a little fella and That's it They're damaged right see the boards fine and really, you know just it If this is this is again, this is the cheapest way like I mean I don't even think this is more than $15 for this whole reel of this stuff. Okay, and then Just make sure you have good decent solder and a decent iron. I mean my Iron is it's definitely expensive, but it don't you don't have to use that iron You can use you know, I use the other HACCO for a long time, which was that this is just over hundred dollars usually that Then that FX 888 Then you just like snip off this bad end and toss it out excuse me and again, that's the first capacitor so We didn't even have to use our desoldering gun so you don't have to have that right you don't have to have that to Just do this job and What we can do is we can replace this capacitor since we don't want to just Forget what the capacitor is actually have a kit here in front of me Guys, how we doing out there? How we doing? I know it seems a little quiet Is everybody just enjoying the smooth jazz and watching? Watching the professor here work We've got We can do a We can do anything. That's a 16 volt 100 or higher. I think I'm gonna upgrade that to a 25 volt 100 Because I think that's what's here in my kit of goodies if I can find it There's a 50 volt 100. Maybe I don't have a 25 volt 100 in here Thought I would have interesting, okay No, that's not it So I probably just this was a Okay, I've got them right over here though now the one I had just pulled was a 85 degree 16 volt 100 okay, and You know people like why do you use worth capacitors? They're worth the worst good capacitor. Okay, they make good capacitors for this stuff Okay, it's okay We've got 25 volt 100 micro farads, so we're upgrading our voltage, which is perfectly fine We're going up to 105 degrees So we're getting a better rating Capacitor with the higher tall, you know, it's all around it's better It's gonna wear out and it's gonna last a lot longer than that one did now and look that one lasted since the Mid 90s or early 90s, so we're gonna just slip those sexy legs In the hole there. Can you see that on your screen? Goodness, I mean I can zoom in and it might be okay or it might be just Dirty looking it's not too dirty That's tolerable, right? Oh Hang on let me my iron has a safety mode where if I just leave it alone it turns off I'm gonna give this a little tack just like that Then I'm gonna snip that leg off there Snip the other leg down. That's kind of like the cheating way to do it right you get one Well done and come back and reflow that one And perfecto Just like that We've installed our capacitor and see if we can double-check that right our negative leads to the negative on the on the board the level of pressure I Mean I don't put like pressure on it per se as far as you don't want to press down you you got to let the heat Do the work, okay? On any of these things like we're gonna pull the C713 next I'll try to get as close as I can without like making you nauseous even though I might already be doing that Lift this up a little bit, but it's it's just about getting getting the point that you need hot enough and Just enough time to liquify it and then get that you know, I don't want to hit the stupid mouse and keyboard With my elbow while I'm trying to solder All right, so let's go in here and I mean, I'll just tap this with some extra solder so it stands out a little bit more Yeah, you don't really want to add pressure. That's a because you don't want to Slip see the problem too is if you add a lot of pressure your hand can they get wait. Sorry. I'm off-screen So if I added a lot of pressure and then I slipped I Could go down here and scratch the board with a big hot iron And if you do that with a board that's newer than this you'll knock components off and cause damage and man Come on, baby. Come on back to us. This is as bad as an 8-bit Esquire video There we go Now we actually got it super zoomed in there I don't even know if I can get it up that high Can you take me higher Do-do-do-do-do-do-do Are there any Are there any Creed fans still left on planet Earth Are there any Creed fans still left? Oh my goodness this guys They're so big crazy enough when I was a kid in Nashville growing up in high school My buddies and I went to see that concert That like it's the place where currently Currently the Nashville Predators Hey PO 17 and James welcome in Troy Branch. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Do your doctor welcome in Well, let's go there we'll make our escape come on let's go there Escape Can you take me? All right, my voice is killing me lately Too much talking over the weekend. Anyway, I went to this Creed concert and We felt like such dorks even then like we knew we were dorks for going to the Creed concert Like half the kids in the school were making fun of us for going to it Oh We're like dude we like create the kind of like freshman year I think and what a reflow that such an embarrassing time The dog snoring baby So now I'm just gonna start trying to get some of the solder off the board with this With the pressure on and the creed in the brain This one's a little bit more difficult because it's like right up against the board mostly on the other side Get a little wiggle see if we broke it for you on that side. Oh, yeah Okay Can you take me? Hi, yeah It's like VH one and and the end of the VH one slash Hey Stefan welcome in man Dr. Claw. Yeah, so Let's see what else I thought there was something else funny about the Creed story I can't remember I Know maybe it'll come to me. There we go. Sometimes just give her a little wiggle there You can see that both sides are free. So just pop out pop out that hole Look at that another 85 degree cap. It looks a little toasty 250 4.7 uf Now that one we might have here in this kit. I can't believe I got this to actually I Bet they do man the year of Scott stat Yeah, I heard him coming out like on interviews talking about like being abused and stuff as a child which sucks absolutely sucks, but Like there was a time When like hey that guy just came off as such a like a door like a ass anyway I don't know how the hell getting in the topic of Creed here trying to just work on some circuit boards, right? What else can we talk about let's see we're looking for a 250 volt 4.7 So goofy, I probably don't even have that one in here. Let's see. What's this one? That's a no 250 volt 2.2 And oh all right guys 250 volt 2.2. Yeah, I must have had like the worst picks on Capacitors here to rework with because I've not found anything in this to go kit that I've actually been able to use Though there is two fifty four point seven. I think Is that right? No, that's fifty Here we go I wonder I wasn't able to recap anything over the weekend. This is our replacement 105 degrees Celsius Same rating sexy old Nisha con girl here. There we go Of course, I'm the one who started singing you're just like we're all just living through the psychotic Episodes I have in my own brain. I just get to pretend like it's normal since I'm just talking to you on about on and on and on about it with all of you out there in TV land Now I'm gonna show you something that I'm gonna do on this particular cap because it looks like I might have some leakage I have some leakage So we're gonna dab that we're gonna dab that a little bit with some cleaner I love the folks out there. We're just gonna we're just gonna stick this and submerge this amazing q-tip down here in this Lovely mixture of isopropyl isopropyl alcohol here, and we will take this lovely little saturated Saturated device and we should just take that down in here, and we'll just give a little dab right down in there Right in that little nasty place right there where that capacitor once sat because it sat there for 30 years And it did leave a little bit of residue, you know and sometimes you just got to get in there And you know after like grandpa goes and uses the restroom You can tell you're gonna have some residue left over and you're like granddad Good grief granddad could you've just like maybe made it all the way in the toilet? Not like 60% so you have to get out the big wand just like this You dab in those extra corners and you get it ready because you know your boss is coming over in about an hour And he might have to use the bathroom, and you don't want him to come in after grandpa and see all that residue So we'll get all that cleaned up Nice and sparkly just like that nice and sanitary good enough to eat off of all right guys Is there anybody left now? Did I just run everybody off? Huh you still here can you drop a like for me if you haven't already Folks if you haven't for goodness gracious for goodness gracious sakes drop a like Drop a like on the show for us. We all need it every episode relies on one thing One thing only and that's your lovely likes We need them here to Continue on on this learning experience, which it is for all of us to see how much cleaner that is I Told you just sparkle that thing right on up Okay, there we go There we go That's right You know you only get to see this stuff live I don't even have a clips show yet You know I need somebody to step up and and take all the goofy stuff that ends up happening on this show and It make pretty good clips channel Maybe maybe something will go viral. I don't know I'm too busy working on the CRTs to mess with that though. There's more important things for me to do Right like cleanup grandpa's residue there. I am. I'm even a poet. Did you even know it? now When I put pressure against these points that for example, I'm just trying to hit the lag of the component And then a little bit of the pad Okay, I'm not trying to hit all up in the area that's green at all. I mean, I know that sometimes it sounds obvious We're gonna leave that green alone and sometimes you just come in and you just touch the component leg If you're just refloating solder, you don't even touch the pad or the board. Just touch the top there Okay So that's it That fresh solder on that Now obviously we'll come in there and clean that back of the board, but we're gonna Reflow solder on the rest of it first Okay, so we do have a focus Knob that's popped off of here. Now. That's not that big of a deal. It's not that big of a deal these are Adjustable from the back so as long as they're still working. I wouldn't even adjust this from the front really Because it's it's too hard to get in there under the neck of the dinner under the tube Okay There we go About a bing So we've done our capacitors. Let's double check over here. Yes, we've matched We've matched the correct thing. We've got negative to negative right there. Okay Professor whom welcome in? Jaikun wants H stat That's the horizontal static convergence So as you spin that your colors Horizontally on the entire screen. I know my fingers look terrible your help your colors between red right if if you're looking at your screen They'll separate red green and blue horizontally Or they'll come together. So it's just an alignment thing Okay so now we've replaced the capacitors and Like I said, we need to come in here. The hottest points are going to be resistors attached up here These resistors definitely this neck socket. That's what we're going to start now. You could You could get in here and start removing solder and sometimes that's required sometimes. There's really crappy solder in here It's been reworked. It's not good and you need to just remove it. However, Sony didn't normally use bad solder and So I'm just going to reflow and retouch up the solder with some fresh solder And since I'm like going to be flowing a lot of solder here. I'm actually going to turn on this to make some of you guys happy I'm actually going to turn on my fan and hopefully my The problem with the fan is that it's just so darn loud so maybe the voice Filter that I have on You can't drive it you could drive it repair CRTs at the same time you are you're better than I am Joe Ray six. All right, I'm gonna put this back up here. Yeah, don't solder and drive Don't But you can drink and solder I've proven that So I've got my four You can drink and solder. All right, so I hope that the effort. It's just super loud. It's like a buzz saw right in my face But I'm gonna get in here and touch it up and it should suck all the fumes and look this is just What is it? It's not actual lead that's being produced here. It's the There's rosin in the core of this solder. So that's what's smoking We don't actually have a tough temperature or the ability to liquefy lead Okay, or I mean sorry vaporized lead And that's it G1's done I'm not gonna come over here. I'm gonna let that cool and I'm gonna switch sides And that is a strategy that you want to employ. Okay? You don't want to heat up one side too much See you'll get situations like this, right? See I told you how the Solder just kind of falls apart and like we can get in here and We'll just remove a bunch of it and this happens Okay So see there I mean that one didn't really come together very well But we'll try to get it try to get it back No problem you clean the tip and that's not a burn mark. That's again vaporized There we go. It's flux I'm gonna go back here and put a little more in there I like to have a little extra on there now You can't you cannot hold heat on that very long or you'll melt you'll start to melt that actual neck socket right in there So we're gonna go now. We've got It's got a good weld at each corner. Actually, I still need to fix this a little bit more if I can because it's Bad spot there There we go Okay We'll skip H2. We'll go to see one. Come on board. This isn't really helping hands Let me see if I can get my helping hands To actually help hold the board But just to show you To There's no harm on that scrape all that Residue off if you clean it Look at that. So that was that one that looked like it was burnt, right? And again, you know you just rework it take your time Because sometimes you have to do it two or three times to get it right or get it But I consider perfect enough There you go See how that's all gone. I mean sorry right there's where we're looking at H1 See how that looks like there was burned there. It's not burn at all. See that's the new joint That's the new joint Not like that old joint. Okay, let's try to Let me try to use some helping hands here see if this will help at all All right. How are we doing out there? That's right shiny Are you guys able to see everything? Okay? All right guys awesome. We're doing good. We're doing good. Hey, I want to say thank you everybody This is the time where We're gonna continue working down this neck board We're gonna finish up this entire CRT socket and we're just gonna grind through it Hopefully and then we'll move on to some other points I'll show you on this board, but please if you can do me a huge favor if you've not done it already and you can you are as good old sheriff Cathode ray justice would say you are a member of the retro tech county community If you are able to hit click the like button, please click the like button for me. We've got a good 53 likes here Let's try to get it to like 65 by the time maybe I finish this we'll get lucky But that does actually help the show a lot and I don't like currently I don't have any You know sponsors or anything for the show I'm just relying on grassroots movement of everybody who likes the show to actually engage with us here and like and again feel free to comment and then talk along with everybody as I go through this and We'll just have some more fun all right moving on Shameless plug and beg you just heard it For all the audience to participate So I'm gonna hit up I'm actually hitting up this this leg of this capacitor and as I do that It heats up this but I don't want to go right over here and do this one Because then this might still be hot and the part could just slip right out So that's why you never want to go back to that You got hit up a different component. That's right. Do your duty snuffer stuffer Nice one headlamp Moving over to this g1 spot. This one's not Not cooperating perfectly. It's got a bit of an issue here. Let's get some of that out start over Okay, I may have to lift it up Maneuver it around a little bit. Sometimes you just got to move it. Oh don't get too hot to trot there tried to trying to use gravity To help out and then my helping hands are not being helpful Come on, baby. Give me a good good cute joint there. You're just not doing it Sorry everybody. I know I'm off screen a little bit Still trying to get this one to Clean up It's just some spots that just do not want to cooperate no matter what you do does happen G1 is just um Cranky so let's go around we're gonna hit some of these other spots. Maybe they'll be a little bit more Cooperative sometimes, you know, most of the time you don't have to hit it with that much but this Let's let's screw this. This is this is actually a good example of bad solder on this neck board Because it's just like immediately Falling apart and it maybe we'll just we'll just get rid of all of it and then try Let's see if it looks better works better We'll get all of it off this color Oh, see there. That's all of it off there for the color Color green we got all of it off. Okay Hey See if this helps any now might I don't want to actually test gravity too much on the end of That I know it's just not going to be helpful And it's never going to work. So let's try to get sorry. I know folks. This is live. Remember we're trying Trying let's see if I Turn that down a little bit if I can get you in there good. All right That's a pretty good view. So I'm trying to go over here where that Get it right there in the middle That color green is Right there I think we got it I think we finally got that one I'm gonna let it cool down a second. Okay Because that that was a big heat intense hot moment, but That one looks really good now. We saw how much trouble we had there now. It's perfect Look at this three. I mean they do look if you look at the g1 The kg h1 become much better those joints look Those welds whatever you want to call them I'm gonna actually redo this other g1 because I don't like the way it looks Sorry Sorry, not sorry ugly solder blob That's hot. Oh, look at that with so much solder there So much in that Looks pretty good now actually funny enough Looks better after it. Let's see Still don't like that ugly little thing It's doing but It's going pretty good The ours are some intense hot moments, baby Intense hot moments not meant for children Or actually it is meant for children just a bunch of man children and a couple girls But mostly man babies. Let's go over here. Yeah, this is a joke I should have grabbed the 301 just because it would have been easier, but again, we're gonna We're gonna maintain our dignity and our challenge Son of a biscuit. It's hot. I think that's about all of it Let's try the same thing over here with this son of a gun. It's no better It's hot to the touch though. I'll tell you that It's hot Flooded and hot The 301. Yeah, well it's that's for the babies, isn't it? We just got to go with the real challenge here So let's see if Removing the solder off the h1 and g1 Will help us any gosh this ugly old g1 go, baby go Go ninja go ninja go. How about that? How about that crab apple? I know that's the thing the 301 isn't that's why I wanted to do that. This is Definitely entry-level cost-wise. Okay, you can use this stuff in practice on any board That looks similar to the one I'm working on and practice practice practice all day And if you become good with this, like I said, you could do most of these jobs without it Without the 301 temp is at 650 Fahrenheit Ronnie so Wow Obviously, we just needed to get rid of that old nasty solder to get that to connect And kind of the same thing there. I just flood it And that's what I want those nice pearls right there Give that girl pro necklace. Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to say that So that's good Okay Lovely, so we're down to these three What time is it? We're doing good Absolutely if you haven't what do you guys we got you guys a couple more chances here to click the like button I'm going to take a second to see let's see what we're at Oh 62 we're so close to 65 you guys are awesome. Come on. Come on. Let's get it Let's get it get that like button you can do it You can do it watch just like I can do this you can do that You can do it Just give it a happy little like right? Let's go back here on the other side Get the other side of there Gotta get that 30 year old solder out of there because it's just not helpful today It's gotta go It's being forcibly removed Look at that clean clean clean clean Removal Right there just using The solder wick, okay right there Give her give her a little edge here now. You know, the thing is I may be better off if I used a bigger tip Since I'm going at such big push portions here portions portions. Look Going for some big dabs here but that went way cleaner on these when I've When I did it with the uh removing the solder all these We're going to do this red. We're going to do this g2 We'll do this spot all the same way and then finally this g4 spot And then rest of the stuff shouldn't have a problem We'll just reflow in the solder, but if we do we'll do what we need to we'll We use our solder wick You know, I just really liked this pencil tip since I started using it It's just it can get into so many tiny spots. It gets super hot at that tip Before then I used chisel tips But I've really just come to love this one And it's my go-to and that's nothing there's no reason, you know, like Whatever works for one person Where that doesn't say it has it's the same each of each of you will find I think when you use tools There's certain things that you most maybe are better with or you're more comfortable using And that that's okay. That's why they make different tips And there's also different jobs where you may need a different style tip But for I think you'll find that some people will Pick a certain style and use those as their go-to For the majority of the work they do Hey, you know the rules no crts will be left behind here. We're not going to do that We're going to save these bad boys There we go Lovely Now there's no way Yeah, race see Um, and honestly, this is the only one with the pencil edge when I like when I wouldn't work on things in the booth I use my cheaper Hacco to take with me And that has the knife edge or the chisel edge or whatever, you know, depending on how you want to call it It's not It's a little bit diagonal, I believe Or no, no, it's actually a chisel edge. Sorry. I don't use the knife chisel. It's a chisel So it just depends. Yeah, it depends on the job. There's going to find some where you're going to need more I just found that with this iron I can do pretty much all I need with this With this tip 90 of the work I need to do I can accomplish with this particular Set up here. Now this one is going to need a little bit more heat Since it's on that plate there we just got it all off Just got it all off Pretty much all of that I think let's see anything else off A little more not much. There we go There we go Absolutely Thank you. Thank you everybody. Yeah I mean And you saw you saw this it it doesn't happen the first time a lot of these took me A lot of these took me two or three times to rework Okay But obviously I'm slowing down too because I don't want this whole thing to get too hot I don't want that plastic to melt It can withstand heat, but it also I've seen a melt And that one's perfect right there. I think I've already said that it's 650. It's it's just maintained 650 My iron does not change from 650 unless I need it To be really hot to remove something that's on a ground plate That is on a big board Yeah, Ronnie if the board is terrible like you'll come into some boards where No matter what you do you go man and occasionally the spots will vaporize They just literally burn up and then you have to run patches It happens But it's just dependent on the quality of the board and solder and The quality or you know how how it was stored can depend, you know What kind of elements was it exposed to as it was being stored can impact The breakdown of The board itself So we go we got the g2 cleaned up And while I'm sitting here with this I'll probably go ahead and just clean that g4 up So yeah, even I will burn a pad Even I will screw up a crt and not be able to fix it That's why I don't tend to Take broken ones On too often unless I know the problem with them. There's some Some people ask me to work on certain monitors and They don't know what's wrong with them. And I just don't I don't do that for everyone I don't just take on any jobs because sometimes you just never can tell you might never be able to figure out What's exactly wrong the best thing to do is to try to maintain them Uh while they're mostly working and fix them and they're mostly working And keep them going And then, you know, like little problems you'll fix before they actually become a problem Like something like that was starting to develop. Well We would have repaired it By doing this maintenance Again, this is not as good as the others. We got flooded there. That's good Then we'll hit this g4 kind of gonna hit all the pad sides just to Get it flowing get a nice flood Not enough flood, huh? Okay Still not enough on the flood. Okay Really doing annoying Look how much I had to pay on that little bugger It's ridiculous Ig mick talk and mick not it just depends sometimes you'll find that One is easier than the other It just depends on where and what you're trying to pull now. This whole thing is going to need a good cleaning, right? I'm going to go through here. I'm going to I'm going to tap solder on some of these smaller points. I was telling you about There we go. We'll get a little bit off of that So I had just too much Too much solder on there. Okay, we're going to go down here. We're going to like everything that's connected To these points we're going to get A little on there This one here So here Done that one and done that one and come over here Do this And those are pretty solid Really just do that Moon and night probably You know, I didn't even think about it. It's probably ingrained in my brain. I was I was an earlier adopter of aquatine hunger force It's always been a Kind of cultural impact on me Probably full of the one liners that are stuck in my brain Yeah, baby. Here we go. We're getting good You can come back if someone look like they're ugly. You can come back and redo them. It's okay You don't like it Just making sure that everything's going to be solid Remember i'm switching up as I go. I'm switching up. I'm not hitting the same component Back to back because I don't want the component to fall out of the board Which happens if you Lookify both legs of the same component simultaneously. We'll just fall right out So that's uh That's really the majority Right what we're going to do now Because I'm going to go through here and I'm going to clean all this off and then I'm going to let you take a look at this and then You know for this job, I will actually do that to the entire board okay, but Uh, I might run out of time So I'd prefer to actually clean it and let you see what it looks like. I'll turn this noisy fan off. I'm sorry. I don't know Hey, can you guys tell tell me? Did you hear my fan at all? Anybody let me know if they heard my fan I'm suffocating Exactly Whatever. I mean, they did anybody go. I haven't seen it. There was a movie A mononite's or a We heard it. Okay All right. Well, it's off now Sorry for the buzz Sorry for the buzz There but you can see all the flux residue that was liquefied. It would have been up my nose Ah dad gummit. I thought that was supposed to knock out a lot of that sound But oh well, I apologize folks I'm very sorry What can you say? Like everybody's saying in the chat they they're used to it Gotta get that ultra hum eliminator Profile setup for OBS every time I get my OBS desk settings perfected my windows pc crashes And then I have to do it all over again Look at this just that nasty residue getting on there, baby You gotta just get in there and get that granddaddy's cracks clean right in there. There we go You know I want to leave that stuff on there Drop a like drop a like for me folks if you haven't already this is the This is about the fourth time I just have to say though Thank you everybody who always does leave a like because your like literally turns into One like turns into 10 viewers Um for this show And really that's that's more than I can do I can't I can't even spread the show like that Like my one like would get it maybe 10 new views, but if if everybody else chips in does that little thing it does Even on the back end You know even after the show is done People tend to come in and watch it for the first two days They watch the playback a lot for the first two days And I know that the Fact that you hit the like button it definitely helps them get notifications that A new episode is out. This is a third third stream this week on the channel The third bunker show this week Well, man, I cannot wait to go on the road and pick up those new crts tomorrow. It's gonna be exciting It's gonna be exciting It's gonna be so much fun Get to go buy some new crts or already paid for them. Just get to go pick them up. That's right scare away the normies No Are any of us normies anymore who's who considers himself a normie? What is a normie? Whatever was a normie the philosophical questions that Only a thinking man can endure while he listens to A jazzy playlist. Hey one more update too. I forgot to mention this. I've been just so busy the last week Leading up and then the week after of course a convention But I mentioned in the stream two days ago with zezz on halloween About the story of howard and how howard had gotten And Given me that crt you guys saw in that one that episode the kv woodgrade 13 inch Anyway, howard actually reached back out to me And we're gonna try to get together. I'm gonna get back with him to get on the uh Get on the show with the two the three of us and we'll do some hanging out and some talking some more But he definitely reached back out to me after the episode Uh, so that's awesome gave me some Updates on some things. I screwed up, but that's okay. We'll get him on here. We'll talk about it some more with him and uh That should be fun experience and talk to howard and see what he thinks so Howard, I'll follow up with you. I promise. I've just been too busy here Trying to have to get this one Finished up and cleaned up and you're starting to see This look really nice, right? Of course, it's got the Liquid on there. We might do that one more time and then I might get the I'll get a fresh one here and we'll wipe all that off You got to get thousands and thousands and thousands of these little swabbies, right? so there was uh There was some really cool stuff too that I keeps running in my head and it makes me really happy Um And it was it was at the show When it was mostly some saturday mostly sunday when it was slower, um But there was a like I told I told a little bit about this in a couple streams ago There was a lot of kids at the show that were actually super interested in crt's and uh You know, there was even one guy who had He'd been just he loved crt's and and he was a teenager. He worked at an arcade And um, so he was super excited and was talking about things on crt's that I knew he was going to be uh, yeah, he's already talking about things at a high level. That was the I think that was the most Interesting thing to me was um that Kid was very smart and knew a lot But there were other also younger kids who were who would have been in elementary school age and They said that they had been talking about things in their science classes uh like magnetism and And electromagnetism and things like that So they were super interested in crt's and I think that their teachers must have used crt's in some way To teach them because they were super interested at the game show and uh They came in and you know, they looked at the stuff and they would they would ask me questions about things that only Would be high level questions Where you actually have some knowledge of what's going on in the machine And to me that's that's the crazier thing. How about that people that have never they didn't grow up around the machines But they still love them and they want to be there and see them That's really why I mean think about it. I don't really care. I mean, it's awesome But that's the reason We've got to keep the machines alive because It's going to inspire the next Person, you know, here's the thing We're probably not going to come up with a tube solution in our our lifetime from us If there's going to be a somebody who comes out and makes a viable like new tube Um For a crt or crt tube itself It's going to be somebody from the next generation of people that's going to figure this out. I think So that's what we've got that's what we've got to keep these machines around so it can help them to study Because there's a lot of science That's going on inside of a crt It's a beautiful machine beautiful machine, but I'm preaching to the choir now and you all know that You all know that so I've I've gone through just checked all the points here with my tweezers kind of brushed off anything that's left on there and take a A little brush here ESD brush and Do that give it a little soft brush Give it the old soft brush buff off treatment There we go about that What do you think What do you think of that? Look at that compared to way we started. Look how beautiful that neck socket Is you think we'll have any issues with cold solder joints there for 30 years? No way No, no, no, no Look at that perfection Bam, baby There we go. So that's the kind of these this is vital. It's big The rest of these joints don't have to be that crazy Like that that's fine, right the rest of these things. These are a little bit. Let me get in there Yeah, those ones are good. See that's that's good. Thank you. Thank you everybody So, what do you think? What do you think do you think that? Watching me Work through that a little bit may have helped a little bit. Maybe he gave you an idea of what it actually takes to kind of Do that now You can see unfortunately, I've got tons and tons maybe I'll flush back flush back to this one I've got tons and tons of flux built up now on my neck So I'm gonna I'm gonna have to like scrub in there Again after I get done refilling solder I'm gonna have to clean like in here because I don't want that to get real sticky. That's gross But we will Finish up with this board and I should do it. So yeah, I hope that I hope that this was helpful in some way help somebody maybe get over the idea of You know, I can remember that for a long time. I never understood how solder wick for example worked So just I feel like sometimes watching somebody actually use it Now the thing too you have to remember if you buy bad solder wick It's gonna suck. So like even if you have the best technique There there's no way If you have bad equipment bad solder wick if you have bad stuff like that Then you could have the best technique in the world and it won't help you like You would still struggle If it was bad didn't have a good Ability to do that. That's why I try to show you too a lot of the things I'm using So you don't have to waste your time and your resources Let me just clean up a little bit stuff out of the way And I just want to again say thank you everybody for joining me on this wonderful edition of the bunker Where again, we get back to some basics and I know usually this show is yeah, I think we're doing good I think we're maintaining some consistency on things for sure on a schedule But also, uh, it's good to have some episodes be A little bit more serious a little bit more educational And then also have other episodes be a little bit more humorous and a little bit more fun And just a mix of both things. I think that's okay anyway Thank you all very much And uh, if you want to get more information or need direct help with anything Please feel free to check out the link in the description of this video We'll link you to the patreon page where you can find assistance and a whole community of people dedicated to crts And that membership starts as little as a dollar a month Anyway, thank you all again for joining me today Um, I will see you next time which will be next monday on a special edition of the bunker About noontime monday, so have a great weekend and I will see you folks then If I can find the If I can find my mouse have a great weekend
