 Welcome back good friends. I hope I hope this day finds you wonderfully and Amazingly in a good spirit from maybe a little left over from the Christmas spirit Today is a special a special in the bunker. That's right Let's see what we got going on here. Well right now the danger zone the danger zone is Where Cole is but that will be the overhead the overhead view For today's show. Thank you all for showing up. Welcome to the CRT restoration marathon of 2023 The year's coming to an end. I don't have much time left At least not for 2023 out there. He has there he is going back there Probably gonna go pee on something. He's been a little bit of a but head lately. That's our old friend Cole Hello, everyone Welcome in Me just finalized some things. We're in the bunker today I appreciate you all for being here and if you could do me a one big favor And that is to please drop a like on today's stream if you are able and that will help The algorithm that will help the people to get notifications that we're live And look, this is probably gonna be a long one I'm intending for it to be a long one now. There's a possibility We get cut short but when I say short, it's gonna be at least one CRT We're gonna try to get done just as in case there's an emergency will stop but aside from that above my head right here Both my head that I'm holding up. I've got three PVMs two of which are scheduled for Restoration and repairs the one on top There is Sony PVM. I think it's a 1953 MD and Why this thing's got tons of issues? So I've tested it the one below it Right here is a 1340 One I believe are four zero. I can't remember that's actually one that I own and It's been partially restored so I Still have the deflection board to work on on that but it has had everything else done to it and finally But more importantly, we have this lovely thing right here above my microphone side head and that's the 1353 MD I think that's where I want to start. I think that's where I want to start today. So I'm just gonna get things ready here. Hello to everybody. Thank you for coming in again What a wonderful day wonderful opportunity to come here live say hello to everybody It's been a few weeks. I have been on a trip to The lovely town of New York City specifically Manhattan, and I did have some fun on that trip That was a family trip a few days before Christmas not on Christmas specifically, but I had that Christmas here at home and actually my family I sent them off to be with the in-laws They wanted to go for a trip and I said hey go ahead. I've got too much work really to do So anyway, I know I saw a mark in here mark. I did get your 1405 done yesterday So that's good news. I've got the file partially put together, but don't sweat it I mean, I'll get you that file over Around New Year's I'm not really worried about it. I'm just trying to get caught up So that one's done, but the ones you saw in the rack of the ones we worked No, actually didn't race actually didn't have time to go to the moment. Hey, thank you southern coast How's it going with the $5 super chat? I do appreciate that today. Yeah, it's been a while So I did have a chance to go. It was a family trip. So I did family stuff. So I went to My son he's 12 years old. He's really into basketball first off we were in this Manhattan area and We were able to walk around pretty much from there, so we walked around to Rockville Center a lot. So I did actually post an awesome picture of a CRT I found in a boutique at Rockville Center. So we'll talk about that. I went around Rockville Center and I went inside. I think it was like the NBC studios and or where you get to go to the top of the rock or something they call it and There's this tiny boutique. I can't remember the name of the shop, but it's right next to I'll remember the peak store Which is like the Hello Kitty store I have a daughter. So she had to go to the Hello Kitty store. I look right next to it while I'm sitting there outside waiting for her to shop and In Rockville Center right next to it is this little boutique. I think there were selling shoes and other high-end things I couldn't go in the shop because there was a sign where the Person who owned it or was working was gone for a temporarily time during this maybe for lunch or something and So I did snap a picture of me but next to this really cool CRT He did have one working and then a couple others in the shop and so that was an awesome find and then I Saw something interesting in the Puma store down there in that area where they had all this Advertising in the store about Dexter's laboratory a collaboration. They've done and they're using in this video loop. They're using the completely clear prison CRT as this Video showing Dexter's laboratory and then it poofs into a shoe or something and I'm just laughing thinking there's no kid Who is actually using the prison CRT in their house? But it's part of the marketing. So I thought that was pretty interesting. So That's what I've got again. Here's our lovely rack Here's our buddy Cole over here in the danger zone And so as we get in and you help me out with those likes we'll See how things are going. I want to make sure that Audio levels are okay. I'm probably Be a little bit once we get started because I don't want to be overpowered by that background music I know you guys love jazz and you probably missed it, but heck Don't worry about it. It'll just be faintly in the background. I hope So, yeah A nice lovely couple days. My son is really into basketball. So we went to a Knicks vs. Nets game in Brooklyn and boy, whoa, that was an experience trying to go and Be an out-of-towner and we hopped subways and whoo man. It was funny I got so stressed out finally got down there we barely made it on this train that goes from Grand Central Station right next to where we were staying straight to the Barclays Center and We got down there and like it was six o'clock. So we got on the train. It's firstly. It's packed and This is after going through and scanning my card went multiple times anyway That all went fine, but the next day we tried to go into Brooklyn again and man I took directions and somehow ended up at Central Park the night with my son and So that was not our intention So we had to hop back on the subway and I mean we were riding around for an hour or plus just lost on it so that's that's always a fun thing and then I Went ice skating with the family in Rockefeller Center Plaza, whatever that ice skating rink is in front of a Statue of Prometheus, so that's where we're all at And that was so fun few days drove up drove back. I'd love to go and hang out more in New York It's a fun place still to go so anyway You know if I'm really gonna get some work done, I need to get started. It's already 12 30 So let's let me do a couple things here. I'm going to Slowly use the sleight of hand to adjust Things back kind of the way I had them before I switched over to the cold cam and That's where we'll do it And that way because I didn't want you to have to see This this arm in my face when we got started today. Okay? So I'm gonna try to go with the all gray here Keep keep all the shadows out of the way and I just need to Flip the video so we will get it going on folks We're gonna get in there and we're gonna we're gonna go over to the rack and we're gonna check it out I'm gonna do some shout outs to you guys here in a second. So let me roll that Matt do that We'll see how everybody's doing here All right, Southern Coast welcome in Rob Kat headland 88. How are y'all doing Ronnie? Yes? Thank you for being here Matthew Reeves welcome in. Thank you glory who retro and Stefan welcome in yes welcome back James Boone. Thank you for coming today. Good to see you back Chameleon 2606 hello to you buried bits Bunking out is right mark. Yeah, I saw you here and I've got your pvm done. I told you that already but That's all good. So Tookie dookie welcome in Koala koa good to see how you are having a wonderful day and are ready for an amazing New Year's and Let's see race and Roni welcome back Andre, thank you the retro Bristol Ian welcome in Giants orbiting. I don't know why I said like that, but Dr. Claw welcome and Edward sneaker creeper welcome in Andre. Thank you all for being here today And thank you for doing your part of hitting that like button and now we can get into these Amazing CRT. So one of the first tests Is if you want to see what and cheat and see what's the hey Belmont welcome back, buddy if you want to see and cheat what The 19 inch looks like right now you can go to the Twitter account X account and see the post but Let's oh, yeah, awesome Xbox. Let's go ahead now and Power up these CRTs and see what we're looking at You see how bad that looks I don't know if you can really even see from now you can't see from there. So it's it's this one's in rough shape, too It's got the red green and blue lines in the picture so we've got vertical blanking issue and That's on both of them and it's also got like some vertical fold over there and where the Geometry is really messed up. Hey Daniel. Hey time Marcos welcome in Masters safer. Hey, buddy. All right, so That's what we're gonna start with because this will I mean this restoration package, which is normal we'll fix all these issues and So if you have a PVM you turn it on which is very common with these that you would see These are red green and blue lines And you see some kind of warping on the screen. It looks monkey Especially around the corners This is telltale sign that the caps are bad now. It's warming up so that some of those issues are starting to get less prevalent But it's just a sign that these have bad capacitors and again, this is part of a capacitor kit I've got it already here. So It's gonna be some Something like this Something similar to this capacitor kit right here Oh Well, and this is this is pretty much the whole board. You notice I have some notes here where there are some things I change modify Because this is every time is a work in progress. There's the back, which is a got the cap kit for the Power supply so if you need like copies of this go to my patreon page Which is also linked in the description You can join up and you can follow the link in the pinned post at patreon And you'll get part of our discord and you can find all these cap kits And you can print them off from there under the important links tab on discord So that's what we're working with I've got all my capacitors over here my shoulder I've got my tools right here cleaned up ready to go and What we're gonna do It's already growing back you think yeah Thanks, Daniel All right, what we're gonna do is we're gonna take this thing. We're gonna start taking it apart to begin with So we need to probably go over here. I'll leave the cameras the way they are and we'll adjust something here in a second Once I get this off Well, here we go. Let's let's try this for right now And you can watch me pull this Rear off All right, there's just six chrome screws right there and Then you have four in the back Thank you, Edward. Oh this guy's taking some damage. I'll show you hopefully closer here, but there's a big break Comfort zone All right number one number one We're finally Getting the rear about off here It's 1235 Streams been going for 18 minutes so I think you know that's about two minutes of work we've done so far really and That's about it. So we're taking that and We'll see how long this takes so long this takes me this one Has a ground cable attached There we go So the inside of the shelf right there See that See that So you got to disconnect it. It's connected up here on the frame And yeah, it's broken Plastic is broken friends see that right there. It's a huge crack Now I actually am in a in possession of a clean good one of these Back so we'll replace that when we're working on the shell But that shells busted right here and I've got a replacement. That's a 1353 so that will be a good good thing to show you Get that out of the way and now We have access to Everything back here. Oh, there's a screw That should not have been there. That's weird. So that screw came falling out Makes me wonder if someone's been in here before Everything is connected properly So We can Which one should we do first which board? Which board would you folks like to see done first? Let's start with This power board right here. Why not because it's right here and Then we'll do the neck board and we'll finish with our deflection board since it takes the most effort to get out Of its house And we don't have to discharge anything yet this will have a few daughter boards in it But primarily, you know, you've got the button board power supply neck board input card main deflection Processing board in there with a couple daughter cards in it. So that's that's primarily the amount of boards you were looking at taking out the screws I'll do that This Then we'll lift up Disconnect Disconnect up here Okay, so this one does have Something that's a little bit of a pain and I do have to actually take this shield off To get to that one final cable. There's one small cable in here So I'm just gonna go ahead and do that because I won't be able to get the cable undone till I get this off. So Pull that screw is like Super stuck There we go. This is just some crazy plastic rivet deal There you go get that shield out of the way And There's the last cable because you can't just pull it out. It's it's got it's got a cable binding holding it. Oh Yeah, thank you Daniel So we've got a good audience today 61 already And I just want it's gonna be like ours from now We're actually doing something exciting That's if you haven't already, please hit the like button for us If you want to go on and share it with anything on any platform, that would be awesome, too our supply removed here and Let's just Move this to a stable position That's good That's good And let's go over here to danger zone Take a look at What we got here Okay That's right snuffer stuffer. Welcome back. Let me get this out of the way and Yeah, let's do it just drop the mouse Hope nothing bad happened. All right We're going To get this Board out of here and for that capacitor kit, right? Here we go for that capacitor kit, let's look at this this is documented on there somewhere but this board Gboard tends to Very And I think that's why I've got a couple of renditions here handwritten Because the last couple ones have varied a little bit So I'm gonna have to just go through and see we're gonna remove and replace It looks like all of these more than likely I think I have a filter cap even in this size and and I don't think let's see. This is thankfully a later Model because there's no screws in it, which is good Because there's no reason to have screws in it Most of the time but the early ones really had a lot of screws in it. So I'm just gonna pop this free. It's got a tab here a tab right here Stick your finger in there and just push it up top. There's one Okay, down here. There's one Whoops and yep, sometimes the plastic is just too old and A little snap on you and that's okay. It's not Not the end of the world, but that one did break off and then There you go Pretty much it right there Put that down at the shield. Let's get let's get looking at this now. I have uh I have I have to tell you the truth. I have actually seen some sparking with this board here The last couple times I've worked on it. I don't I'm trying to get rid of that shadow So bear with me as I set this up In the correct spots here. I think I'm gonna do something like that Yep, that's better Okay, that's a little bit better And I'll bring in more light as needed so we can try to Work through it like this Highway to the danger zone All right. Well, let's just get into it and remove capacitors and we'll see Which one of these capacitor kits we're working with and I don't even care if I have to rewrite the book, right? If I have to rewrite it, that's generally what happens. I get a fresh pen And I write it all over again In this case, we're gonna use a pencil We're gonna go through some lead Now this thing's gonna be said to one of the lower temperatures And uh, we're going to do this now. Again, I've actually gone through here and had Had some of these fire off like zap Let's see if we can like short any of these capacitors and get an electrical electrical zap What have I got that's good A good nice piece of wire or something We'll see So let's see if we can make anything pop These are some capacitors over here, you know, just like You're just gonna ground them together Put them together It's like these big ones down here like this Right between these two It's big one Sometimes It only happens when you're not when you're not filming, right? But I've had it happen with braid solder braid or solder wick Where it will jump a spark and really scare the dickens out of you. Some of these other caps can do it too It's big ones Nothing exciting here folks Oh, come on. Something's got a zap today I'll have to go get old zappy the guaranteed zapping crt By the end of the stream if we don't get any zaps Maybe there's just not enough likes for the zap demons to come off the board. I don't know What do you think? Anyway, that's pretty much all of them You just saw me if you want to do that like I know this is not the safest thing. This is a metal And a plastic end and so, you know Nothing exciting yet. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll just zap while I'm working on it here Let's start removing removing the caps Let's go down here with c618 which might be a 50 volt 10 According to the list on my left Like the sound Do you like the sound? Of a solder sucker in the morning All right Rise thumbs. Yes, I rise from your grave. This is a 50 volt 10 So that's confirmation on list to my left that run for the good start here 50 volt 10 And uh, that's number one Let's move on Now if you're, you know, if you're if you're not in An expert level It's okay to go in here and reflow solder Before you do this With fresh solder just to make sure everything Uh, it will flow better if you reflow it first And the parts tend to come out easier, but It's a marathon. We're trying to get things done here Right see 619 Buyaka Buyaka 619 50 volt 220 50 volt 220 we are on the path of greatness here everybody We are two for two We got the luck of ramus stereo on our side 616 should be a 50 volt 47. Actually it's going to be lower than that that's What we're gonna have to do is we're gonna have to trust Trust the cap kit trust the cap kit But it's always great to verify things you should never just trust the cap kit Never just trust the cap list always verify And when in doubt just go with what's on the board Unless you know somebody did something wrong and you're undoing their bad work All right But that's not what we're doing. We're just going back and Fixing what sony did. I bet you a lot of these caps are going to read bad when we test them here in a second Don't you worry on this first restoration. We'll do it for you all folks 35 volt 47 Now I upgrade this to a 50 volt no problem. Remember no problem Increasing that voltage folks. There is no problem increasing that voltage. Take your time though while you're doing your work Give yourself all Day if it needed all right now we're going to take some fatties out Oh mark. Well that depends on my my mental And uh physical health because I can go too far where I I get physically exhausted and and uh It's not good for me So I don't know. I mean Most I've ever done in a week might be six or seven just because at that point you're just so tired Because a full restoration takes time I'm not planning on doing the whole adjustment phases On camera for all these I'm getting them back to the point where they're hardware done and then I'll I'll come back and adjust them because that's going to be too difficult to do on stream and too boring for everybody See six three two except for like the major adjustments six three two six three two six three two One sixty forty seven beautiful beautiful one. That's the right. That's the right value good I'm just making a tack tally mark here. I'm like my catalyst every time I remove something and it's good and it's the right thing that I remove Wonderful Wonderful everybody we're going to take the big The big one out and I try not to get burned out right too much, but It's gonna be stressful sometimes It's not like You can't like kind of it's hard. You can't take like a mental Break while you're working on some parts of it You got to be sharp and kind of focused most of the time So Plus I try to do things of course with the channel and social media And stuff to grow the brand. I also want to do some other things I want to do like classes, but I feel like that's going to be something Again that I'll talk about more and like what's going on with the channel. I'm going to do an update video to that I'm going to do a health update video coming very soon Um 25 volts 1,632 625 Good good good right on track 627 and then 623 Let's do both of them Well, I don't want to actually mess up and I'm sure that this is going to match at this point, but we're going to take out 627s 50 volt this is a big one 50 volt 1000 629 right no 627 Oh, nope. That's on here too. So there's 250 volt 1000s That one right next to it right 629 623. No, that's the one we're on. This should be a 25 volt 330 Hmm I may you know, I think I've got that cap But just in case I don't we'll keep it tested and make sure it's good If we need to oh, yeah braid bits, it's cool. Yeah totally You guys can use the chat 25 330 perfect So you guys can use the chat up to your convenience talk about whatever amongst yourselves There's always a good chat going on But also this this shows perfect for leaving on the background while you're doing something else or working Got nothing else going on. Let's do it together Let's hang out together 636 636 is a 50 volt 47 right up in here and we've got our 50 volt 1000 over here. So let's remove that. That should be 629 629 now the factory did do something over in this area because it's nasty nasty Get some flux on it But this board when we go through and actually restore it, we're going to reflow solder on all the through-hole Components also that's just also part of Also part of the cap kit or the restoration packages We're going to go and reflow solder on this entire board just to give it extra life Durability 50 volt 1000 and I want it to last for a long time for this person Or whoever ends up getting it Let's go with 630 and see what this is on the edge There's 630. This should be 50 volt 10. Let's see 50 volt 10 and this is an example Of a poor capacitor kind of that's sandwiched in with a lot of these I mean poorer brand With a lot of these high-end ones that sony was using jammie con Hey jammie con right just that sounds funny like it's almost jamaican jammie con 50 volt 10 85 degree caps and not very good But this capacitor kit Is uh right on the money with all the caps we've pulled so far Got three more small ones over here. Let me go ahead and get rid of this 636 right in the center Right in the center there. I'll try to get you a little closer with you increase your lighting a touch See how that looks Who that one gave me a fresh fists fish smell. So this one's probably cooked This 50 volt 47 is probably a cooked goose because it's stunk 636 That just should leave two more and then our big fatty Two more 633 and 636 No 634 634 and 633 sorry Couldn't read it. That one's loose that one's loose There we go 50 volt 220 This is a big old elna cap That's right 634 right on the money ugly elna cap A lot of elna caps here too Those are the ones that just they just didn't hold up as nicely Rubik's and nishikans Uh Usually do the best, but I've seen even those go kerplunk Panasonic's do well I'm not like a capacitor snob as long as it's One of the decent brands And there's plenty of documentation still well one. I'm okay with using other brands. I use seen it when you use worth It's a good brand. I don't have any problems with them And this one is a 50 volt 100 633. That's our regular cap and then I'm gonna pull that big sucker out if we can 50 volt 100 pretty generic cap there the last one's this big one How we doing out there? How we doing on viewers? How we doing on stuff? We got enough people here? This one's gonna be tough you might have to go in and Hit it with some extra Heat look how big that is we're gonna get in here though and try it Get in this gracious. I mean we're on here for a long time. I'm gonna have to turn the heat up The heat is on The heat is on It's on the beat. Yeah, most of these caps are Like these are 85 degree caps. I'm going up to that 105 degree caps In every situation every single one the half of them are like that on this board already the other half of not now this big one's a filter cap that is a Nishi con and I've got the heat up more. Let's see if that helps if I can get any of this Molten down in here. Let's try the other side first. Maybe we can do a little magic So and it's not gonna hurt it to have this heat on here. I mean it's not even making it's just absorbing it I think you're gonna get molten though. I think we're gonna get there Oh, yeah, you hear that breaking free Not enough though. I'll probably introduce some fresh solder here. I will Let's turn it up even more man. This is This is the ground flight side. Let's see if we can get anything Oh, there we go. We're getting a little molten here. All right. That side is broken free. Okay We'll get down here on this side. It's like riding the bull use it like that There you go folks slipper on out There we go Perfect, right? Lovely Squeaky squeaky wheel Squeaky wheel gets the grease isn't what they say There you go clean holes undamaged Looking good, right? Cool. Let's see what we have here For replacement parts because the capacitor what's this one 560 560 this elna. I thought it was Something better 560 85 degree 160 volt c621 Okay, that's right squeaky cap does get the hat go Now I should be done with my Boy, this thing's got a lot of solder in it right now. I should be done with this thing I'm gonna go ahead and try to clean it a little bit But till we get to the next Till we get to the next part. I won't need to remove any capacitors. So This is still hot Very hot actually and leaving it heated up. I'm just gonna try to See what I got going on in here Looks like I'm clogged to all high heaven Goodness gracious Definitely clogged. So when you get clogged up like this Holy moly that's super clogged Here we go I'm gonna take this tip off. I'm gonna be careful because this is all very very hot All right, look at that. Ooh, look at how built up all that solder is in there So I'm gonna put my suction chamber back in You see that that's so much and you can stick this other one down in there. Okay There we go. Cleaned it out I just don't know about this end Boy, that's this one's got some junk in it too junk in this trunk. I don't know if I can get through it Oh my word It's okay. We're gonna we've got Plenty of ways to get around it. We can it's trying to get through there. There's something stuck in my tip It's definitely not let me get push this cleaning rod through You gotta be careful because if I my hand slips it'll hit that tip and it'll burn me Hot diggity Because this ends all good This is literally an issue with this tip becoming clogged So let's try one thing where we'll I'm gonna try to add some solder to this tip and let's see what happens It's sucking it through but just barely So sometimes you can stick that in there You're gonna stick it Try to punch punch it through if not, we'll have to get another either tip or something part of my language for that piece of trash just is That's what happens sometimes these tips are trash They don't last forever That one is definitely garbage So I've got some others I I knew it was giving me some trouble Man some of these just look awful These are other ones. Let's see. This is I know people love Here we go. This one's getting cleaned up. All right. This is a good tip Now this thing is going to be hotter than a firecracker. So You see there's a very small lip in here That's supposed to slip over that and it's going to be very hot So I have to do it quickly like that and not burn my hand I didn't burn it. So don't worry That's gonna be okay Now You get that old tip off there Don't actually touch in it You guys just watched me almost burn everything up my hand, but I didn't do anything. Look at that. That's what we need nice clean tip so Good, baby. We're ready for the next job on this one As soon as we clean out the chamber Now we're going to turn it off though And let it cool. Let it cool down folks Let's see what we got Nice hunk of old solder there. All right. All that should be good Everything in there is good. I just changed this ceramic filter last night after the last job, so it's ready to go and I'll set this on the ground I rave away from everything so it can cool off And it'll be ready to go for the neck board because we'll have to remove a couple parts on that and that's What's going on? All right Just making sure everything's going good Our stream is still up if you haven't already, please folks hit the like button for us so that we can Maybe get through this next portion without having an error happen Now again when I normally go through I'm going to do this in the first one But I'm not going to probably do this on the next ones I'm not going to test all the capacitors after I remove them I will the first time so So good Let's do it I need to see first if I have A replacement for this one More importantly than all of them probably And what's the other one? There's another crazy valued one Here just hold it. I also have There was another off-value 25 330 Let's see if I can find those All right, I got an upgrade here available I've got a 53 30 from michigan And the other one is 165 60 165 60 Definitely don't We don't have 165 60, but I've got 200 560 So I actually have some there you go. Hey amus Good to see you today. Yeah, I do have some replacements here Let's just go ahead and install those first before I do that We can test while the tools get ready. We can test the uh old capacitor And then clean a little bit on that board Let's see what kind of readings we get on these Old caps folks. This is what people always want to see, right? Now this this tester I'm using Is supposed to be able to test circuit while they're in circuit caps So you don't have to do it like this. It's just to me it makes more sense If I'm removing them any way out and just test them out of circuit You probably I probably could use a better tool It's just this one's handy right now And it's going to give us a pretty decent reading. So the red Red is positive Black is negative and this is a 330 micro farad capacitor And it's reading Should get a low reading on this which means it's good If it's a 0.1, it's good. So if you had to go back and use that that's not a problem cap It's usually the smaller ones. Let's try the same Same test on this one a little bit wider again Low asr these caps are still really More than likely good. This is the GME ESR meter All these are reading really low. That's a thousand. Let's see this other thousand So this one's reading up It's a 0.5 which at a thousand micro farads. That's a bad rating. That's a red That's how you use this it gives you a scale And it's red. So this one's actually bad But the monitor still would power on But that one cap is bad. This is a This is a 47 all right, this is 160 volt 47 micro farad capacitor It's up here. Here's the 47 range. It's in the yellow ish So it's suspicious. It's about to move into red. So That's pretty much bad Let's see what this one reads add to this one's a 50 volt 100 100 and this is in the red Red right here Definitely bad Our high esr, you know, not not really good to be in spec. This one is Again, it's 220. So it needs to be low. It's up here in the red bad 220 bad All these other bigger or smaller caps are starting to see a pattern here. They're starting to read bad It's another it's a 25 volt 1000 definitely bad two ohms. That's really high for that On esr meter and let's see this one is a 220 again Still 0.7 bad Anyway, you get the idea So if you're going through and you're like servicing this you don't always have to change the huge caps because Those big filter caps tend to last two to three times longer than everything else 2.0 for the jammy con 10 uf that's actually still green but barely it's but it's close enough to be suspicious It's one off and that one's bad 3.0 for 47 That is bad There's another 10 micro farad 4.0 for 10 micro farad. That's high 2.5 for 47 that is suspicious almost red. So basically all these other Messeters all Let's say All these right here wrote red bad. Okay, typhi. Welcome jq's. Hey, okay So that's uh That's it. Okay So let's see here Let's see if this reads anything Yeah, see the replacements are just reading low. Anyway, these are the ones at point one But these are the high Micro farad ones. So these sorry these are So you can see it these are reading low replacements are reading on the zero Point one There you go. Now replacements will read higher Also, that's why you have this range right here. That's why when you look at this uh graph or this tool it has this range because You're allowed to have a higher esr Let's move that from the play field for a while I'm going to go ahead and install these two since They are here Everything's good got my snipped got my board And actually I'm supposed to be taking pictures of all this because I forgot I don't need to do that for the owner Of this So excuse me for a second while I Snip some photographs of the board being serviced because that's a service. That's a part of the service. I could Say hey, you know your Stuff was featured on this live stream, but I don't want to forget what I've Supposed to be doing. All right Excellent Yeah, definitely is considering also that this pvm is from I can't read from here. Let me see. This pvm is from 1996. So it's It's pushing pushing 28 years 28 years So it's really a miracle that these are still that good kind of after 28 years And that some of them probably would be fine another 20 25 years These guys this probably would be fine There you go. Now. Let's uh Let's get back to Our cat business since I've got the pictures taken The big one Is right this in there This can't be higher than this heat sink. That's the only issue So I might have to improvise a little bit. No, it's gonna be Right on the heat sink will not be Too tall. Okay I don't mind if it lanes a little bit though No, the heat sink will fit fine like that and that's 621 right in there This is a better cap higher tolerance To heat higher voltage lower esr or lower There we go. Snip off those ends And add some good amount of solder here. There we go There we go. Hey How you doing Jeff? Good to see you There's our first one the other one that was bigger is see 623 Which is right next to that 632 This is 623 632 is A different one 623 is right there we go It's a little bit bigger and just fell out A little bit bigger just fell out here in my wild welding style solver got 623 in here. Let's there we go Touch it up this too It'll clean it up. That's all you see there's the flux residue From the solder rosin core solder There we go. All right So again, make sure when you come in here and you're double checking your work Make sure you got the right caps in the right spot and that their polarity is also correct So and coal hey man snoring now Let's get the rest of the capacitors All right My capacitor kit man here. Let's get going. Let's get rolling Why don't we go with these big ones 50 volt 1000s? Let's see if we can find those There's one So Nishi Khan, what's the other 50 volts? How many of those are there? There's two And these are going to be the expensive caps you start buying these kind of caps and they can get anywhere from Three four dollars up to like six or eight dollars depending on all the different stuff you decide to You know buy into Especially when you get into the better brands and the ones that are more available six two nine and Six two nine and six two seven. So six two nine is right here And six two seven is over here. Let's get this one out of the way the one that's right next to Well So buried bits You know, there are things But it's mostly solder because that's the things it's mechanically breaking down. So that's why I go through and Sotter stuff. I go through and check solder integrity. I go through and check old welds Or soldered points whatever you want to call them Um, and then as far as like if something's working fine Then you can visually inspect something but if a part isn't burnt out And there's really no, you know, a lot of these are not Don't have like a life cycle similar to a They will have a life cycle but not similar to a capacitor capacitor is the shortest life cycle of these kind of components and The electrolytic ones to be specific because the solid ones They can go bad too, uh, but that's more of a troubleshooting issue Okay, that's more of like the monitor shows issues for routine maintenance. I just have my own kind of Package that I offer you could go do as much as you wanted You could take those meters You could take tools And test every part that you want On these boards almost You could test with a tool And so it's really whatever you personally it's like If you go and you get a An old car you're a car guy you go buy an old vehicle That's like a classic. Are you gonna sit there and Test every single component with a tool to make sure it's still okay Okay, it's fine. It's just you know You'd have to be like I would offer that but then you know you're talking about somebody Two to three times probably what the monitor would be worth at this time and This kind of work we're doing right here will make this Go another 20 Years which is which is good, which is good enough. I think and then After that you bring it back in and maybe just do this again And it keeps going and going and going and then maybe Four or five cycles of that maybe something starts to burn out as far as resistors Diodes things like that. Let me make sure I get the solder done on both these six two seven and nine six two sevens looking good So six two nine. All right, let's keep going That's our 50 volts got six two nine six two one Six two three and six two seven all changed 25 volt 1000s So you have 16 volt These are the 25 by 1000s, I believe Yeah, I got a 20 red one here Well, yeah, of course, so that's like I was saying if I go through something won't wobble If if you reflow solder on it that's going to prevent all that so like I mean maybe like a A heat sink would wobble or something but that doesn't matter. That's not going to affect performance Six two five There we go six two five is Reheavable 1000 I'm going to put a couple extra ones in here before I actually Close it off We got this one up top 160 volt 47 And we do this one 636. I like that whole bunch there. That's a 50 volt 47 I know we got another one of those Getting it out gets you a little better view if I can get something To hold the board and then I'll just solder upside down, right? Here's I can do it do some light maybe some folks paint folks mold clay And some folks whatever Whatever the medium you do not have to solder like this Let me find that some of the method of parts Installation and soldering works for you And heck sometimes I change it up and do things differently. I don't always do that stuff the same every single time There we go morning Keith How you doing? Everything looking good so far We've got Streams going good. At least that's what the OBS reports telling me as far as bandwidth All right, I've got a 50 volt 47 That's over here We've got I've got two sections left. I've got two three over here and three down here So let's see. We've got the 50 volt 47. We need a 50 10 and 52 20 There's a 50 10 Big ol 52 20 right there And these are going Over here in this area six one nine We're in the stereo cap this one is 50 47 And six one eight is 50 volts. Oh, I'm off the screen. I'm apologize Things like that can happen Things can happen Things happen. It's all right Everything's good. There we go That section of goodness right there right up in there right up in here If you guys been thinking about your goals for next year, right? I mean does it seem silly to be 40 and still thinking about goals for new years? I don't know Sometimes it seems silly sometimes not Hello of our act door so whatever Whatever you may feel like is your goal. I hope you achieve it This is the year For me, I'm gonna finally continue on and get in the best shape of my life physically And I need to do some things to help my mental health a bit too Because I'm not gonna lie. This year has been trying There's been a lot of things going on that I think that You know as men in society we get a lot of pressure put on us for things and I don't know You got to take care of yourself too As well as bear the brunt of a lot of responsibilities Otherwise things happen like you lose you lose sight of What you're doing you lose sight of everything and you end up working just too hard or whatever working not hard enough or Whatever the world can be And people react differently to it that for me. I was I was reacting to criticism and stress At this time last year by working like harder Than ever like working harder than anything any time I had ever worked in my entire life and just going through and working as hard as I could with the business and It put me to the point where I got myself Sick and then ended up in the hospital, you know And that changed like that changed me a lot on realizing cues from my own body, but also realizing just how Important getting yourself emotionally right can be And you know mentally that sucks past. Sorry to hear that man We've got a 50 volt 100 here. That's going in six threes three And then six three four And we'll have the last one six three four and then we'll go through and refill all the solder on the board Except for the points that we've already done Show these new capacitors There we go one more to go six three four 50 volt 220 let's take a second don't leave the capacitors anymore for now Let's review and what i'm gonna do is just quickly check the capacitors and make sure They're all good as far as Polarity the right caps are in there And set around everything looks good From that end All the solder looks good from this end. There's a couple up here. It looks like I didn't Reflow Now that beep don't worry that beeps not your tv that beep is my soldering iron indicating that it's warmed up All right, everything's good the cap gets done now. We can move on to the solder reflow I'm gonna go through if some things are not as concerned about I mean these are connection points But you don't want to hit it too hard or too long with the heat Because you'll melt the plastic And you'll cause them to shift The actual connections and you don't want to do that so kind of alternate between parts You can see how I went because if I hit them both with heat at the same time The piece could actually fall out of the board if the whole thing is hot Molten solid or the molten Sotter's not hardened yet Okay, you get that relay And let's keep it to this side of the white line The floor now No funny how solder means just attracted to your face That's why you gotta use a fan most of the time and I use a fan most of the time. It's not even the solder It's the Rosin core, you know evaporating And that's what's left on the Board is that residue But we need it flux. I'm sorry flux residues. What it all is evaporating flux flux residue And I also don't do every point if there's not an actual component in the point then its point was to literally Point less to solder to it. I'm also not concerned with the some of the points that are like holding in to place The Heat sinks Is not actually voltage pass through Unless it specifically looks bad on most of those things again. I really won't be concerned though with most of that Even some of these are bracing points What a great way to finish out 2023 in the bunker So when the next couple weeks coming up I do plan on doing a shop tour video for for 2024 obviously considering 2023 is dead almost not dead over just about and uh So look for that that should be fun to show you a lot of the things that are in here because there's a lot of huge crts in here right now and A lot of things going on And then um, I'm gonna do an update on My kind of health situation, which is not something I normally talk about. I think it's been a year But it will be by February And I thought I'd do an update as to what like things have been like for me over the last year And just do that because I believe or not a lot of people still come up to me and ask me a lot of questions About it a lot of people still watch those old videos showing me talking about health problem like that And so I feel like if uh, if that if my story can be helpful in any way to somebody then I'm fine. Plus, it's for some reason the most popular video I've ever made as far as views And there was no special Editing or anything in it obviously Which is me sitting there talking But shop tours should be a lot more fun when you may look at for that kind of a thing. This is a transformer right here And this is one of those items that can make noise and break down some people asking About stuff that can cause trouble that you might have to replace transformers and something like that Inductor coils those can break down, but those will cause a problem. There are noise before You know It just fails it will or you'll be able to Tell something's not right with the crt and that bubble one Oh, it's popping Oh, yeah Yeah, I need to do more of that stuff. I haven't done anything of Both sides of this place because I mean I've been here for a while now, but there's so much stuff I wanted to do showing off this retro House I live in and I never really got around to it yet. It's been it's like well, what point do you say? Okay, am I ever gonna do that because it's been Now three years since I've Moved yeah, that's a spark or anything. Look at that It's like farting solder fart Soldiers bubbling and farting on some of these That's crazy. I don't know if you can hear that probably can't but it sounds like Gas That's wild It's just a bunch of resistors diodes, I mean A two-parter Actually what I want to do is show everything. I'm gonna show the garage area. I'm gonna show the storage area the storage unit I'm gonna go to it all It's gonna be a long tour It I'll do it like once every year because I did do a shop tour last year That's how I started off last year. So why not start off this year with a shop tour also All right, so we've gotten everything On this side of the white line over from here All the way up to there Now we can get this whole area right in here Let's see now go from Autumn to top There's another transformer Don't do like that. How's the music? Have you heard anything tacky yet? Sometimes Christmas songs get passed in there That's the same thing with me Belmont. Those are the two test ones I do all the time the thing about that people don't know about The reason I use The metroid so much is there's a lot of the the There's a lot going on and just the entrance video just like the teaser video when you start that game And most of it's dark And so if you turn the lights out if photographs excellently are really well You could really take good pictures of that game And it's not, you know, you try to think of a different game, but then you try to oh well You can't act you have to play the game sometimes it is bad Just start up screen And so it's not helpful. And then of course the only one I actually play most of the time is the 240p too sweet Like I really enjoy playing You know Mario Kart and stuff like that on the original Super Nintendo and it's not like you can't really photograph that nothing ever comes out that great of that Another one that's fun is To photograph from the super nintendo Let's see, I would say Super punch out that one's a good one. What do you guys think any games you like to Do yeah, plus you get mode seven 240p test suite is awesome though. That's the one you play Let's give it a some of this extra in this mini Sotter braid I accidentally ordered the thinnest solder braid size one. I actually ordered size one. Look at that terrible The tiniest solder braid, but it helps me clean up Clean up stuff I've been trying to find more old media, you know to watch on CRTs because I have a hard time even picking games to play anymore So I'm like, well, let's just I'll just watch something while I think about it Last night I busted out the untouchables. It's one of my favorites kind of silly And like as I get older, I realize it's a little bit silly of a movie some of it is but I really Spent so many years loving that movie. It's just Back in the day. It was really great the untouchables the story of Alphonse Capone places where I get too much solder and them look good So much easier using that solder braid on some of these boards than Even the fr 300 especially when you're just touching things up like this. It's handy as it gets you Experience right with solder braid or wick. I don't want to keep calling it braid So how we doing? What's our time on me? We're only on the first stinking board on the first stinking monitor We're up to an hour and a half. Yeah, it's about right I have been going really slow. We're gonna take it a little faster on the next board Oh, I almost made it boo boo Almost heated up two of those legs to the point where that part was going to fall through All right, that's everything and the primary now we're going to go over here and Flow into the secondary area Secondary area of the power supply, which is this smaller area We'll just leave it all on the screen here. All right No, I've made videos in the past if you have an issue Where your pvm won't power on this is one of the first things to check is this power board, right? Then I'd probably move on to the neck board and just check for Cold solder joints because at this point that happens so much And that can cause the crt to not turn on So I try to try to devise what what's actually happening, but we can test The output voltage from this cr or this board right at this point right here with just a meter And I've shown how to do that And then if you have an issue with that you can track it back to Probably a capacitor or one of the ic's Transistors is probably blown out Which actually happens too Then you just replace the caps and the transistor transistor slash ic and you have power again or voltage regulators. There's those in there too, but There's a lot of those kind of ic's that's listed on the board as and Those will go out and cause issues. All right continue on this is Again a connection point and the reason I'm refilling these connection points isn't so much obviously heat it's because of stress from Me pulling that cable in and out it's good over in this area Making sure I miss anything important. So like these ic's these little voltage regulators one of those will pop And you won't have 15 volts you when I have five volts something will be off on the dc power That's all nasty. That was done before I was here that bit of Free flow All good all gravy. Let's go over here. So I don't miss anything down in here. We'll just hey p o 17 I saw where you got a new pvm That's pretty good Right everything going right with that one Yeah, I need to take a break in one minute just to Answer this message about my son. He wants to come over He wants to come back home. He's been at his buddy's house Hanging out for a few days and his buddy wants to come over here And I don't care if they do You don't care Oh, yeah, and if you don't have power to it's smart to check the fuses to see if one of those is blown for some reason Which a voltage surge can below these fuses And sometimes they're glass So you can pretty easily visually check them, but you can always check them with a multimeter And sometimes they are not glass not on this board, but other boards will have solid Surface mount or mounted through hole fuses I've literally bought pbms that were like 50 bucks years and years ago And it was just a fuse So you get it Change the fuse starts working again Getting about sick of this stuff Good thing we're On the last bit of reflow here, all right Everything yes, yes, yes, yes, yes Up to the top Let's do it Let's finish this Let's finish There we go Simple matter of cleaning it. That's it. All right. All right, great Let's clean this board up fully recap gboard fully solder reflowed And it's been an hour and a half. It's pretty slow, but Yeah, I know when you're doing it like this. That's a slow steady pace Now let me get my cleaning gear Clean this thing. Oh, thank you. Pio. It's awesome I appreciate it Yeah, if you need some stuff, um, I know you're working on that thing. I've got a bunch of resources on those 8 inch pvms. There's been a lot. There's a lot of issues and you can go through and Do a lot of work on them get them really nice No kind of stuff that needs to be done to them And that's actually something that's a good example of things that have to be done more than cabs Most of the time it's cab stuff, but the 40s or those eight series. They do need a lot of things else like You know solder reflow, but also they've got variable capacitor potentiometers that are on there that affect the color on ntsc and pal and composite video and s video and you've really got to service them Change those pots those little pots also It's looking good in the neighborhood and I don't like to use tons and tons and tons of Alcohol on my board when I don't have to but see how nice that comes out and clean. I mean, you just saw what I did Didn't take a lot of effort didn't take a lot a complete soaking in Nice approval just to actually like that much And sometimes you do have to do this multiple times, but thankfully this one's not too bad. Here we go Here we go There we go down at the bottom I also don't like to waste a lot of paper towels. That's why I use old old beach towels But I'll warn you don't ever Wash your beach towels with your clothes after you clean them And use a bunch of chemicals Even if it's just ice-probe alcohol, it can have a funny effect of the other clothing This is and I wish I had more of it This literally all I have left is about a quarter bottle of this 91 and I wish I had higher obviously a higher content 99 will be ideal But 91 is almost just as good almost I'll take this other brush kind of Brush over the board again And then I'm going to take some more pictures of it That's it should be good. Look at that. Yes That's what you want to see right like that Nice looking board. I haven't seen they're looking good excellent Well, that's another thing. There's like Yeah, I know that's funny to do Belmont. I get I always forget I might need to order a bulk off amazon so Yeah, a lot of times you'll get in here and you'll start cleaning stuff And then it'll start revealing more dirt that's on there and you end up cleaning a long time This will reactivate a lot of that If if your board's heavy on it then be prepared to clean more But this one didn't have a lot of that stuff on it So you can tell I didn't have to do a ton of cleaning I try not to add a bunch of extra on my own either That's why I don't use I mean, whatever you do to introduce more flux and stuff. It's just more stuff. You have to clean also so Anyway This one's looking good. Let me take some pictures of it and then And then we could probably test it And there we go. I can put it back in this I'm gonna blow I'm gonna blow and brush this off Bracket season old paintbrush Let's get a lot of that Settled dust and dirt out of the crevicells Crevicells Folks if you have just joined us you're in the heat of the battle We are conquering every crt we see in sight And we are on a sony pvm 13 53 md And if you love crt's then make sure you smash the like button for us So that more people will know Where to go today And what to watch on this fine friday Afternoon All right There we go let's Oh There's one thing I might have forgotten to put over here and that's my air Let's see Man strong got a strong audience today over 60 people hanging out good stuff Let's get this back in the bracket. This is gonna go down like this up top Still got some actual fluids Fluids around the bottom So i'm gonna put that in the drying tunnel. We're gonna relax here for a second. We're gonna put that in the drying tunnel Oh man, yeah somebody's got a I think I think at this point with we're like Not going to be You know, and it's fine. This isn't the kind of content that Is going to be mainstream anything really probably ever CRT restorations That's okay. We got our underground Club Hang out Fixed up. So what I've just taken it over to my High powered fan and I'm just blowing off any remaining Liquid that's on there from the alcohol. It'll help it evaporate super quick Get a glass of water here We'll put it back in here and then we'll power test it and I think it's gonna be fine But we'll do that and then we'll move on to the net board because I could see that net board's nasty That should be good. Let's go see good. Everything's dry now perfect And I need to turn that fan off Since I forgot to do that I'll go do that but That should be It sits in there like that Snaps into place And there we have it And now we can't put that shield Can't put that shield On here because we have to connect this Wire and this wire this wire for a test. Oh, excuse me So let's move over. Let's move back over this way I like it Back in Rotate over and give her the old test run For fun It doesn't really matter how I plug these cables in here as long as you're plugged in And I don't have to worry About them perfectly being routed Because I'm gonna need to put the shielding back on there anyway At some point And we've got Button Big Gausser Power in and that's everything. Look at how easy it is to connect this Time to test the CRT Now we're not gonna have any change to We're not gonna have any change to our geometry problems or our other issues you saw With Blanking vertical blanking lines that we're showing up This we've not addressed that issue yet. We've only addressed The issues with the power board Which probably wouldn't show anything visually unless we saw Some type of breathing pattern happening on the screen And I'm just taking a second to clean up some stuff Here we go. All right Let's do it Let's see We have we have power. Let's see If we have an image Oh, we do Yes with our same problems I don't know Let me see if I could zoom in for you Maybe able to see it better my camera just That should show you something there though. See how we've got uh If I just pull up We've got red green and blue lines here. These are the vertical blanking lines. We're gonna fix still And then check out this big curve. We'll here Well, it's hard to see but there's a big curve on both sides here And it's starting to move as it heats up. See how it's doing that See that that's because the caps are warming up and starting to fix the vertical pin Whoo All right enough enough it works. It's fine. The power supply is good Enough torture Enough torturing us This poor soul All right about this sweet sweet shirt I got here, huh? All right next we're gonna move on to the neck board Okay, so Strap in neck board time Kids are on their way So we may have to take a break Just a temporary break when the kids get here But that's one board down we got two more to go now the neck board It's just gonna come out Here we go. Sorry to keep you in suspense Here's the neck board and it's got like a The spacer Just came off with it. Let me show you what I mean Thank you for the compliments body blow biscuit Here, uh, that's what I was talking about this There we go. I'm gonna go put this back on the crt. That's the little Spacer And then we'll service this thing Man, whoo, that didn't feel good Yeah, so this thing is why you gotta get your tet in a shot. I guess right because oh I always get poked by stuff like these old This slipped in my hand and this old resistor Just Poked right in my finger So the resistor ends so long on these stupid neck boards, too So the big concern on this neck board is not Well, that cap does not look good, but there's two caps on here. There's one right here And then there's one right here. So we'll change those But it's the same thing solder solder solder solder integrity Especially look at this I mean, you can already see where it looks like garbage. Let me get something to point it out Okay, it's starting to get real bad up here Focus focus girlfriend Look at this Like that's that's gonna go And when there's go g1 When something goes like that that's gonna cause major issues. That's what that's what the big issue here is On this board and get you out of the zone Where you'll only see That we'll also remove this so we can get in there and reflow the solder of course that broke That's always broken every single time It's just a safety box, but I wish it would never fall apart. It always breaks though. It's just old plastic So I don't know that it's gonna be possible to remove With solder braid because this braid is so tiny Maybe I could remove these two caps with the solder braid Solder solder solder solder cedar solder Twitter x x twitter tomato tomorrow. Let's call the whole thing off You say tomato and I say solder I just don't see this as being Being enough this is for like super tiny stuff Oh, look at that. Can we get it? Can we get it? Yes, we got We're about to get this one We're about to get this one with this tiny solder wick It's so small. It doesn't want to suck up any solder That's fun So I might just pull this guy since I've got one leg free If I just pull out that second Leg and then they're both out right there Actually, I was able to get the majority of that solder. Let's go ahead and see if we can clean that Go ahead and see if we can clean that off There we go. Look at that Oh great How great is that we just use that size one? That's the tiniest solder That's the tiniest little Look, this is called the soter wick the soter Soter wick everybody's saying solder. Why is it called solder wick? Why is it called solder wick? Is it soter wick or something wrong? That took so long to pull that little 16 volt 100 micro farad capacitor, but it was just so worth it. So let's see if we look at the List let's make sure we record this. I know it's on here 705 Is a 16 volt 100 micro farad This is one we're going to upgrade again See seven one three. Let's surprise ourselves. I'm going to bet I'm going to bet that it's a 250 4.7 micro farad maybe 250 10. I'd rather it be a 10 Because I have more of those I believe in stock, but I have both caps actually here or something Not too concerned. Oh, this one's got not much solder on it 254.7 All right, we got one leg Broken free right there Let's see if we can get that other one One two break free One two break free Here we go, baby break free Got a lot of solder built up on this tiny little needle I just thought I was getting a good deal because I was like this one's twice as long as the one I just bought or three times as long Oh, yeah, it makes sense. It's because it's a size one. I'm glad I didn't buy a bulk of them Of course, that's a problem when you buy certain things like from Suppliers and you don't like I think I've read all the fine print on here Right, and then you're like, oh crap. I didn't read every bit of fine print on there All right, I'm just reflowin so that I can come in here. Keep this leg up and just I'm just gonna pull this thing Like that And then I'll come back and clean this Look at that. There we go so now our holes are Good and cleaned up. That's just some flux around there because those are covered in flux also Now We'll replace those two capacitors and then get to the solder reflow Got to take some pictures first So I don't forget that This is another day working Just another day Here we go 250 volt 4.7 I'm gonna upgrade this to a 25 volt 100 micro thread They were back to soldering or soldering solder Never heard a good song about solder sounds like a good country song something about soldering, right? She soldered her way right back into my heart. I don't know some stupid like that And that's it. That's all you got to do for that cap replacement. There we go Now I'm gonna go through and reflow solder on this board Gosh, look at all these points though. So this one does take a little time So just strap in and relax And I'm gonna take a second to do this right And you'll see a lot of points with bad-looking solder on this board. This board gets hot. It's small and the solder Where's that on it who coal is sleeping now right behind the crt Yeah, there's a lot of spots. You'll just notice I'll just start to develop what looks to be a impending cold solder joint on these boards Very much so So I haven't tallied it up yet But I'm not sure How many crt's I Restored this year, but it was a lot Probably I don't know. It's not the most. I think the most would have been the year before but It's pretty close so that's some big jobs come through that were full recaps this year crt's like the like the fw 900 and the d 20 I had a couple of those that had to and then the Bang and ulcin those ones are mostly a hundred percent recapped for the most part So those take more time than just something like this does this take a lot more time Like that bang and ulcin was a nightmare for the most part. It had so many boards in it. That's sometimes Sometimes those points get a little too close and that's when this is handy Just get a little bit of that solder out of the way Get too much This is going to add so much life though to this crt And it's in dire need of some tlc Right you saw it We can do it We can rebuild it We can make it stronger with better technology From the 21st century We can you do our part to save for the crt's for the next generation of analog video enthusiasts There we go Did you ever think you'd be sitting around watching this this right? Is it youtube a wonderful place still? Where else could you go for? Action like this Nowhere, that's where See it flow. I need to get you guys a better camera so I can or me a better camera for you And they can go real close and look at this stuff nicely much better than what you're seeing now All right, I got a bit over I did on that one Goodness, this one's not wanting to close up on me. There we go You're like, why do I keep watching steve? But I can't stop All right, we got this section down up here Got the neck Socket Going through and do some of this maybe I'm getting here better Who can get you a little bit closer to the action If my board would stop moving Goodness, will you stop moving board like a jump in pcb? Hey del Merry Christmas. Yeah, I got your package. I've been waiting for you to show up so I could open it Live on the air Happy new year Merry new year Happy Christmas Happy holidays Happy holidays Let the merry bells keep ringing Happy holidays To you and that's it. You just heard the latest singing of a Christmas song because all other Christmas songs and holiday songs have come to an end The day after Christmas the radios stop playing them till next November till November till next year Friends So maybe del once I get done with this stuff, we can open up your gift. I can kind of guess what it is Which is going to be great if it is what I think it is. But either way, it's going to be great Whoa, how exciting we got it. We got it like 60% reflowed. Yeah Brother Gross nothing makes me more disgusted than old nasty solder that is gonna oxidize and break down and cause An open circuit I hate to me. It will not happen to this crt today We are gonna do it all folks to prevent that outcome I hate more than old nasty Unleaded still give me that lead free crap of the smell I just love the smell of Hello. Hello People definitely have me on the background today. I can tell I'm the background noise today That's okay because I can't really pay attention to the chat when I'm looking at the solder When I'm looking in the solder zone over here That's all right. We're gonna we're gonna be Finishing up this beautiful man. I was there stupid diode Almost push it right through You know save the day Save the diode save the day all this Good good good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. We're almost there. I just got like this little area You know, why don't they teach soldering in school, right? Think about how much better people would be better off people would be if they knew Or at least had it like one class Introduction to electronics or something Maybe a little bit about it Or at least they had like a chance to try it see if it's something that they liked without having to Invest in the tools You also have some experience to help there to teach you Warning about the safety Things you need to know but It's needed Get the get the solder back in schools get soldering back in schools, baby Okay The kids need to know how to solder one of the fundamental skills in life If I didn't know how to solder I'd be doing an entirely different career path Retro tech university sign up starting 2024 The soldering academy soldering 101 The master class would be the graduate level class would have to be taught by voltar. There we go I believe that's every bit Corn yep, that's true I also think there's a stigma still with some trade jobs where people just don't think that They want to pursue them Yeah, Robcat most people probably do learn how to do it. Just like it's like yeah from their parents or from well, I've why I learned how to solder from uh experience mostly and Just like this good old youtube Years and years ago. I can't even remember How long it's been we're gonna go straight for the clean now Straight for the clean 99 Because there's so much too that even I don't know about solder It's like well, I wish there was an expert that I could go. Yeah Like what what instance would it be better to use that tool or that type of solder? that Makeup of solder for example or something. It's like everything. There's got to be a specific job where it would be better and Like well, you know if you had this type of solder Right now But what you're attempting to do that would actually be working better There's just so much unknown Things that it's like kept a secret like you guys wanted me to teach you my secrets What about the other secrets that I don't know yet? Right Hey dupes don't be too afraid of it Well Don't underestimate it but You gotta know your know your crt a little bit A lot of a lot of them have built-in Bleeder resistors and a lot of them don't it's a whole different ball game Well darth actually if you get you don't always have to flux up solder braid if you buy Really good solder braid that's already fluxed And it's the good quality. That's the thing if you buy the good quality the right one Which is like chemtronics it'll already be pre loaded with flux and It actually Just like the solder you don't have to add flux to it. You just use it and it's it's already got it in there It's very nice I'm going to be out of isopropyl before we get done with the Main board. I know it. I'm gonna have to use like the hardcore cleaner electronics cleaner The wd-40 branded stuff, which I hate to do but Gotta do it sometimes Tube and yoke secrets, right? Yeah, that's where the magic happens Legendary videos by pay school Plus, you know, you learn so much from experience, right? You can it's easy to learn It's easy to sit there and watch a video and You know stuff temporarily I say I mean because I forget so many things I mean, I've done so many videos sometimes I forget I've done a video on a topic When it comes to crt repair and then I'll look it up Like how to do something and I'm like, oh my gosh how embarrassing I've already made a video on it at some point in my life But that's one of the things to do is you do that so you when you do forget it You can go back and go. Yeah, I've watched this video of myself And it'll tell me how to fix a problem. I got everything nice and cleaned up here. I'm just checking to make sure nothing's bridged Super clean. We're gonna go and hit this with the throw this in the wind tunnel again the wind tunnel and we're gonna Get it nice and dried off And then plug it in see there's still some stuff up here in the front Actually, I'll just go ahead and a little blower action Get this Cleaner then we go throw in the wind tunnel to get that Those leftover bits dried out all right So while we have that going on I move this camera somewhere over here something like that Because I'm gonna actually sit here and probably clean this area up a little bit Yes, sir It's your night bro tonight It's your night where we at today How are we doing out there? We are pushing two hours On a marathon gosh, we got to keep going we got to keep going folks We got to keep moving All right I think that should be good for our Here we go make sure nothing's in the wrong spot It's all good baby cleaned up and there we go. Let's reinstall it There we go there we go folks we should be able to pop a power cable in here make sure that Give me a second. I got a visitor Sorry about that Perfect stall right to make you wait. I got it My son made it back home. So we're all good everybody see it Let's do it right input There we go, right I guess you call it progress, but really it's not uh The image doesn't look any different At least not really Wait, well Do I see? Yeah, I still see I could I thought for a second they went away I thought for a second they're red green and blue blue lines and white, but I didn't think so It was like that's not possible There we go All right, so That board's done That board is finished now. We're gonna have to take this All apart again Is we're gonna have to it's gonna be a while before we run out of test Now that we're on the main board here This is the cap cap We're working through Right you want to see that There we go A little bit of notes there The best thing to do when you when you actually take this monitor apart is to try to pull this whole board in a bundle There we go We're gonna disconnect that we're gonna disconnect over here There's a function yoke This one can be stiff You know some of these It's like something's been in place for 25 years. It doesn't want to move easily So many ground cables so many ground cables Looped up We're gonna disconnect them from each other They are not coming with us Just move that back There we have it. So we're gonna Discharge now Bleeder resistor no discharge There we have it the crt is going to be a lot more front heavy now with only The tube holding it in place so That's how you do it though. That's the best way is to get this whole bundle out and then you can extract This primary board from this bundle Correctly without damaging anything Let's see Thank you. Tuki So this is daughter board. This is our primary board And let's just go ahead and get things out of the way So this is the neck board where it connects into the main board here and sent the data into the Picture information to the neck board and then we have the high voltage for the neck board coming off the Flyback transformer back here right here And we will Just be removing stuff. So I'm gonna leave those cables attached to this neck board since I've already serviced it And then we can remove You get a little bit higher view. We can remove this input board next And when we remove the input board, I'm also going to remove something else. Oh, and that would be This connection the red cable connects over here So don't forget that that's where this one connects into I'm going to remove this whole daughter board right here So I don't damage it while I'm servicing everything All right See you later if you need to go come back del come back later. I'm just kidding. Thanks for stopping by I'll uh, I'll be here hopefully a while Because I've still got to do the cap kit on this board after I get this out and then clean it and Put it back in test it and then clean the crt fix the shell And get it ready to adjust. So there's still quite a bit to do There's our input board Now I'm going to keep this bundled together And my neck board Let me move them out of the way and Some of these other things don't need to be in the way either And here we go now there are some screws Holding this in place So we don't want to forget those screws and actually I'm going to get us a bend to put all our screws in so that nothing happens to them But we'll get these Let me uh Yeah, let me uh Let me find it here. Let me get this board out after I get these and and that's a good intermission. You're right Let's do it. Let's get these out and then we're gonna go and check out del's package Because then I can remove then I can get this screwdriver out of the way And there's three just um in sequence along the top of the boards here that you just saw And then there's generally one at the flyback Oh this Flyback cage is already bent a little But there's not one on this flyback. That's the missing screw. That's the screw that was tumbling around Thank you They handled it all right. They manhandled it like they always do All right, I don't know it seems like It's coming out free There we go. Okay, perfect. Yes We're good out of the way Intermission right Let's check out del's gifts Should be helpful because this is next, baby There we go Spent up a little okay, so this is good. This has got bad caps in it. We know that We know that because Every time we've turned it on it's giving us a bad image. I'm just cleaning up a little bit getting my junk out of the way So that Can open this gift Oh, no, where did it go? Oh, there it is Look at that. Look at that one Doesn't that just excite you? Okay Let's see what we got here because I got friends in low pay fears I got friends in low places and high places And I consider del one of those high places friends I don't want to dox anybody accidentally and I don't want to mess anything up Cut it off the screen. Oh, look at there. I almost cut it Oh Look at this Folks, this is exciting. I've been looking for these suckers for a while and del you sweetheart. Look what he's got I know it's great. There you go Check out check out del's channel. You should if you haven't already, please do And subscribe del's gonna come on and Do some stuff with me. We're gonna use these amazing amazing 31 and 23 the two most popular Uh, crt's for like arcade tubes for my Boom for my uh bk 467 tube tester And I believe this one right here should plug right in to an example. This should go right on to The tube you flip the neck board off. This would click onto the tube that's in my I think it's the one that's in my crt that's in the mvs machine I have the neo geo four slot And this is another more pop also popular. It was the two popular Adapters these look great Great job. I don't know if you made these or if you just went out and bought them and And did it or if you get if you put them together for me, but if you did that's awesome. Thank you del Nice this is gonna be awesome That's awesome. So the only uh, I don't have to use the I can use these instead of the generic One that takes forever that you click to each thing so Very much. Thank you, sir You're too kind That's such a nice thing. I needed it so bad Now Yeah, they're handmade for sure Everything in this zone, you know, these are You got to remake things awesome Well, thank you very much and thank buffet or buffet However, he goes Where she goes by So the ones the ones there's two there the the reason we're seeing the Red green and blue lines On the picture are specifically these two caps right here. They're bad And they'll fail and that's what causes that line to go out. This is it these two And then other ones that are part of this are going to be part of the vertical circuit, you know, probably these are bad These four will get changed also And a few more down in this area. This is all Um This is all going to be taken out because these are bad. That's what's caused this issue So that's what we're going to have to do. We're going to have to remove Those bad bad boys the bad caps And to do so We're going to use We're going to use the FR 301 Man everybody we are on hour number three We have just passed over hour number three if you Have been here the whole time then you're crazy. You're crazier than I am and I thank you and I love you And if you're just joining and you haven't already, please do us a favor and hit that like button because The stream will either get stronger or weaker as time goes on as time goes on We will end up with more viewers or less viewers My cap kit list is right behind me And there's one that I'm concerned to make sure I pick out the right one The berries this is the 16 volt 1000 version Excellent I just see 522 So let's Go ahead and get some caps out of here. Got my cap list This board's bigger a little bit more awkward to deal with And sometimes we probably are going to need to add a little fresh solder to some of these Look at that. That's not good. That is good There we go So we've got 16 volt 1000 We're getting all these up here See the problem though Is I believe that my tip is just too big on this This is a different size tip. It's a little bit larger The tip of my fr 301 now and it's not wanting to cooperate It's a little more difficult to use 2500 that's correct. Yeah, this is bogus man my my tip that was working earlier was the preferred tip So I may have to take an intermission again and actually uh Go find my other. I have a second FR 301 with a better tip on it My traveling. I don't know. Maybe we can make it through this Maybe we can make it through this. All right. I'm just Don't want to Show you guys something that's bad and Do any damage and I won't but Makes it harder talk about using the right tools and the right job And then you go do something like that steve It's just I can't get it really that close to it. I have to keep it a distance Tip touch. I'm getting pretty close to touching that tip. Everything's good so far though. I mean, I haven't like done any bad thing All right, it's 596 is on the list So we gotta go over here and sometimes you just gotta Add Love juice A little love juice in there And you a little fresh love juice. That's the horizontal pulse cap That's the one we're removing right now folks Is a horizontal pulse cap I'm bobby. Dang it. I told you I told you a hundred times bobby. You gotta hold that solder and iron Still son Sometimes you gotta rip those teeth out and rip them out. It's number five We're making headwinds. We're gonna remove this one this one These two and this one right now and then this one too. I'm gonna move that one Let's get all those bad boys out of there How damn it bobby If you want to smoke cigarettes like a big man I need to make you smoke another pack of cigarettes son I don't like this big fat tip, man. It's one of them bad ones. Look at that. You see that There's electrolytic fluid that's come out of it and uh right here Scratch and sniff baby. You want to know what it smells like? Smells like a gas station bathroom Like Stupid dude come on Give the people what they want problems not so much like The tip the tip as much as it's The fact it's just not enough solder used in the original installation on the caps and It's almost like a guarantee you have to use more sometimes and It's better to just be safe. We've spent also Clean that hole a little more That's what we've done So that's definitely at 584 was bass was way bad Little way bad. Sorry, which makes sense. That's part of vertical blanking circuit and it's gone bad All right, I'm not gonna play around anymore. I'm just gonna Go through here. I'm going to turn my soldering iron on and I'm going to add this extra especially to these small ones That's Four that are coming and this one's coming out run. This one's coming out 79 is coming out. We're going to change a lot of these But they are in some tight spots. So you definitely You don't want to slip up So many caps. There's so many caps in this kit so many on this board All right, that should be a good place to Help and that should be good and helpful Start start extracting man, I still can't get like I still can't get that to come out beautifully like the other boards But I absolutely want it to be like Gorgeous. It's a lot of finagling and goodness. Come on. Don't give me that. Don't give me that crap There we go I didn't want to come out punk You little punk. There's 588 50 volt 10 I gotta get this other one out Tip, you know 590 50 volt 2.2. That's correct. It's quiet out there. What's going on? What's happening? 1504 Zone list it's gotta be there we go. Yeah, some of these will not be populated on some boards and some So if you look at If you look at the cap list and you're like missing one or it's just not Not populated on your board. Don't worry. Don't add it. Just Keep it with what you got Different build outs. We all good 50 volt 10 perfect So this whole block up here is going now all the caps in this area Let's see Now we got to get these ones over in This portion of the board Yes See this is Well, this is what happens with this board. I always forget this board does this it has like one Like you'll get one leg off super easy like the positive one and then the negative one is just such a pain it's like Holding on for dear life and you have to keep using more and more and more and more flux because you don't want to burn A spot on the board or not flux solder But it's Completely normal to have to do it over and over and over again like that Keep redoing it redoing it redoing it redoing it because again It's just it's got too much heat dissipation like through the whole board 25 volt 1000 Get these other ones 50 volt 100 perfect Oh, that's good. This one's tough. It's like got caps surface mount caps and resistors All around it On both sides of the board. That's why I don't recommend this to be done by just anybody 15 which one was that? 15 18 Yeah, exactly And then there's these heat sinks that are actually attached to the grounds that are just sucking up a lot of that heat Right next to it for the vertical circuits All right This one and this one these two for sure since they're right next to the heat sink they're going I'd like that's a good example right next to a heat sink And that's actually the wrong cap leg. I think no, it's not Oh, never mind. See there's a Sometimes you hit the wrong leg and you'll think you're another tight one See five seven seven On the list 50 volt 10 perfect Got this one right here too right next up to that heat sink again And that's What's absorbing so much heat is that not this time before I Put it over it's usually bad Let's make sure we're holding the right part Five four one See five four one if you have been chosen for extraction Let's go You just got to take your time man. Look at that. What? I'm not sure. This is the best way I've found to get rid of these things I don't think 581 if 581 isn't a kid That's all these in this section all these this this whole section is now removed down here too So now a lot of these are not gonna mess with again down in this area There's not good to the heat or took up circuits. We're worried about Let me see where Where we should move on now So that's 20 capacitors and then there are Some down here that we're going to remove two So we've gotten 20 out and we're going to remove this one this one this one And this one so for 24 in total On this kit So I don't think we're going to need to change Anything about our process. I think we can make it the rest of the way Let me get this big 509 out of here. There we go 506 Now I'm using my FR 301 as an iron and That's the soldering tool isn't that amazing? 509 506 is now going 506 506 506 there we go Now we've got There's this one. I didn't even see that 592 For a second. I thought it was an inductor But I'll tell you Excellent One two three. We've got one more to get I've 34 One did just fell Fell through something. It didn't come all the way. Okay. I was like, what's going on with this thing? I didn't I thought I heard it fall. There it is 250 volt 22 Now let's fill those holes up There we go Hey, Jake. Thanks for coming in Sorry, you couldn't hang out, but you can come back To the stream later And see the epic conclusion of us fixing this Fixing this pvm. Hopefully it's Hopefully we'll get it But that's all for this kit. It took about 30 minutes to pull those caps 24 About one cap a minute. That's not too bad Definitely not the best time But we can jump right into the replacements now As soon as I take some pictures Thank you all for showing up today. Thank you for hanging out and just having a good little time just you know Working on stuff it makes so much it makes things so much more fun And I hope that kind of if you're like on the fence about doing any kind of work like this This will help you to decide whether you know what maybe I should just Call steve try to figure out How to do this either by letting him do it or by Maybe training and getting some advice and getting myself able or you're yourself able to do it But I think that anytime you get to see kind of behind the curtain get to see these things actually being done It's helpful because let's face it. There's a lot of there's a lot of gear. I don't work on Oh, but don't mind your sweetie. You're good. Thank you um Yeah that Ronnie That one is There's quite a lot of caps in it. All right, let's get this guy Ready So we'll just read down the list and as we go I'm gonna install the caps and And that's just how we're gonna do it. I'll get like a stack of So these are 25 volt 100s Right here, and I'm just gonna start filling those in In some spots like 206. What else we got 2507 isn't another one Should be around here right there. Thanks. Absolutely And thank you Belmont. Yeah, if you want to go see some more stuff, you can follow me on twitter I do post more there More frequently than really anywhere else online. I don't use Facebook or Instagram anymore even though Instagram is the number one whatever It's like tick tock man. I'm just not I'm just not Not into it as much, you know, I've never really been in a tick tock, but I've just never There's the only two I can really work with Is that and youtube? And then of course the discord server for patrons and patreon itself So that's actually four social media sites and then I don't know how some people do all of them by themselves. I imagine they have help But for me it's it's a lot to Do all of them I think I do pretty well What we've got maybe this year we'll be able to expand into some other places on that 1517 I'm looking through my capless now for just some For some places to put capacitors now It's 1518 25447 This is what you end up doing Where is that capacitor go 1517 right there? Okay Yep, that's it This is the This is the part they tell you that's the fun part, right? I'm just gonna bend these legs over and again. I'm gonna pump in all the five 25 volt 100s that I can find That's one two three and four so far 586 That's not in That's actually it So there you go. That's all the 25 volt 100s. I mean Thanks, Ronnie. Yeah, this is where all this stuff goes and I don't actually make them. I guess my life's definitely crazy Give me one second All right, gotta love it I don't want to start seeing stuff I don't want to say I just want to solder Bang on the drum all day No, great. Now I sent the wrong person a message. Oh, that's one All right, all right, cool. Yeah gotta love that It doesn't matter, you know, I tell people hey, I'm doing this. Just give me a little bit of time unless it's a serious emergency Serious emergency. Just leave it be. Let everything go. Don't worry about it. Don't talk to me till I tell you it's okay I'm gonna be on there for a long time And it doesn't matter doesn't matter nobody takes me seriously Nobody takes it seriously Again, I'm using All better caps as far as as far as rating For the temperature It's all good. It's done. I'm gonna be on here all night working on this thing in the danger zone. That's the plan We want to be here all night Just soldering all day and all night longest solder session in the world Now We're done with those four and we've got 20 more Let's see wait. These are 25 volt 47s. There's one of these possibly Two just one Okay, and that is C 15 18 This is the one that has surface mount chips and capacitors on both sides around it like it's surrounded folks and The sound's cutting in and out Let me see Sorry about that if the sound is cutting in and out. That's no good. Let's see what's going on Testing one two testing one two. All right. I think we're okay. At least the software is telling me we're okay, but You know if uh, if something's wrong Do not hesitate to let me know That Is how you do that It's a tight tight little spot No, if it's if there's an issue, please definitely inform me I know that a good portion of uh I mean if I don't get told I won't know there's a there's a report on here that tells me how this Stream is going, but it doesn't tell me if uh, I mean that gets hard to tell if there's an audio issue All right That's 14 That's that one Now we can do 50 volt 50 volt 100s. Yeah, this one's a 50 volt 100 number 579 And we're done with 579 That's it That's only 50 volt 100 We just have one About 50 volt 220 And then we gotta have at least one of those 50 volt 220 Wait a second that gummet. I didn't check this I knew I pulled a 50 volt 220 out of here. Goodness gracious All right Well It looks like I did right I should have I should have checked I knew it was gonna happen So there's a variation Because is there even a 220 uf on this list? See 595 There it is. Okay. Good. Yeah, I was like man, I know that there's one over here That's the only one right there We're gonna put that big ugly one in there There we go Now we're getting places five Look how big that one is I think that'll give us a little bit better performance. It's about three times bigger than the old one A lot more heat will run off on that thing See we need a 16 volt 1000 16 volt 1000 to go in this spot I wonder how many times the jazz playlist has gone through. It's about three hours of music. So we're about to probably Repeat some tunes here But it's hard to tell It's hard to tell if the sounds and songs are different Okay, so that's a couple more in place. This is our quadrant up here done And uh, that's a deflection zone right there and now We need to get some of these other ones filled in. This is 1504 But that's a 50 volt 10. I'm gonna start grabbing those 50 volt 10 will be one that we'll see a lot of multiple 50 volt 10s Right there. I'm gonna stack some more of these Another 50 volt 10 will be 588 or five. Yes, 588 Okay, let's see if we find any more 1504 577 did I find it 577 57581 what's 581 577 is the last So that's another three and I promise we're getting through this you all are amazing Anybody who's still out there hanging out. Thank you You're a legend absolute Legend of the crt ballgame. This is like a live stream For a video game like that My life in gaming does when they do those long live streams. It's like that one. I can't believe it Like a whole game. I just guys do that every week. Awesome One Area welcome in we're still going Still going. I mean Still going it is four hours. We're coming up to I've been able to do it This is like the 60th live stream. I've done this year in 2023 and it's by far the longest Let's trim these legs We are moving doesn't anyone said that there I'll just sit there right there As I go touch up with these welds Oh my goodness. We're almost 100 likes That's awesome Where is Zez? Zez isn't here yet Zez is probably sleeping Over there in Estonian time. We're almost 100 likes man. Awesome. Everybody smash it if you haven't that's great gosh It's been so quiet. I didn't think anybody was still here, but we are really still cooking I'm just joking Now Let's do a little housekeeping. I'm going to go through my list. Check off the ones I've changed out Because I did all the 25s did 206 507 Did that one Didn't do that one no no No That one yes Yes, okay Okay, we're moving along. I know that's some of these All right, let's go with the 50 volts. Let's get these tiny 50 volts done We've got a couple of 0.47s to do and a one those are in the same vicinity So let's go ahead with these 0.47s And these are the 50 volt 0.47s Thanks Richard thanks, uh, here's I'm surprised Still wants to grow Let me make sure I get this in the right spot before I blow it 529 529 man, this one's this is where It would be nice to have like tiny hands so these big fat fingers and you're trying to thread Thread capacitor uh legs through the holes and tight spaces Fat fingers fatty fatty fatty fingers There's five two nine. Let me check that off. So don't forget it So you're four seven. I know I saw another zero four seven five oh six Five oh six, which is like over in this this area five oh six down here Let's get that one in and we keep zero one in and we'll be done with the 5047 Another thing is these legs will like bend and twist out only sometimes. That's no fun Well, that's a 50 volt one Five oh six. What are you doing in there? Isn't that right? Make sure this one you have 50 volt one No, that one's right All right. Well the 50 volt one goes over somewhere else 523 We'll just go ahead and 523 and then we'll make sure we get the 47 So I guess a one must have fallen in my 47 my zero four seven pit I know I actually grabbed a one That's why you got to sit here and always check yourself. You'll make a little mistake and then the monitor will go Like what did I do? All that from that little capacitor All of that trouble man It's about drinking time It's about time to crack the seal Fresh bottle of bourbon for a friday Isn't it? It's the weekend Who's ready to party? Who's ready to party party? all right There we go 506 5 29 and 523 that's the three we just did 506 523 There's nobody else been here today. Unfortunately I should have told some people if they wanted to come over and hang out, but I didn't want to put any pressure on anybody. I know how it is right now hall laser you know busy You know I'm just grinding We're doing it. We're getting them in there. We got one more down here, which is The next section let's see Okay 100 volt 2.2. So we're gonna upgrade 2.2 goes in 590 Yeah, so there's one 541 is 0.47 So we're gonna do that one 4.7 I don't even know if I'm telling you the right numbers here, but trust me. I know I have the right Stuff in my hand Sometimes I might just say it incorrectly We're just doing it one cap at a time Well two at a time. I guess technically great Yes, they're awesome drop those likes remember that Liking the show does help people to get notifications after the fact once we're done here. It'll also Help your algorithm reminds you to watch the rest if you missed something on it and you want to see How this all concludes but you can't hang out for the next hour because what I'm gonna have to do next is Just check my work First And then we're gonna clean this board and then we'll reassemble this crt and give her a test run That's good So I want to pierce the one we got to do that. Next I'm doing them one at a time. This is uh This is what the marathons are like It's like slow and steady Pace yourself Get through it But it does take me longer To do it on a marathon on this camera Today has taken me a little bit longer than normally I'd say what's 581 581 It was a 50 47. Here we go. We go. There we go some lovely Joints there lovely solder blobs lovely Cookin with gas now So that is five four seven five 50 47 4.7 all the sevens. All right, let's see here. We've got one done Now we got to get some 160 volts You know 162.2 and 164.7 there's a I'm going up to we're gonna do this. We're gonna go 250 I've got a 2.2 right here. We're gonna go 250 We're gonna upgrade that one Those are the bad ones Look how much smaller those are though. Man. These are just so much smaller So much smaller than the others That we were replacing so 572 again. This is the vertical blanking cap and five 572 and 584 so 572 Is on the inside of the heat sink And it is going to be a 160 volt 4.7 We're going 252.2 Oops on the 584 and we'll get both of these in place. Hey, thanks. Congratulations, jimmy Way to go It's always great fixing something. I tell you that's one of the things that people probably don't talk about enough Is just the sheer amount of joy And pride In a good way that you'll feel from fixing something that you you weren't sure to begin with you really could fix Once you do that and get it accomplished. Wow, there's like what's one of the best feelings One of the best good feelings you can feel anymore, right? It's like scoring the win in touchdown or a winning goal Whatever It's beating an opponent. The opponent is So I love to hear stories like that. So if you guys are working on stuff and Getting it working or whatever if you have any trouble come and talk to us about it. Let us know what's going on Maybe somebody can help you So he's a good place to exchange ideas All right Got a two left In the top quadrant quadrant Quadrant So we've we're all I can't believe we're we're coming down this Final stretch looks like we only got five more to install One two Three four five. Yeah, that's it Whoo Yes Yes Yes Oh, yeah Southern coast that's the field co good. Sometimes that happens over time Where buttons won't respond and you got to use Just some cleaner But you got to take the thing apart to get to the actual parts that need to be cleaned All right 250 volt All right, so we've got I know what this is going to take care of two of those caps Then we got a two we got a couple other high-end ones. I'm going to go ahead and Pull them out This big boy And here's what I'm doing. I'm just pulling these caps to the side getting them ready getting them ready right here There's three. I've got two more to find Uh, 25 1000 which we've got here and one more 160 volt 100 volt 470 That's one hot dog That's 560 Let's see if we've got that 470 Interesting All right, we'll have to see if I can find that and let's let's install the rest of these four and we'll see if I can find that capacitor Of replacement So that might be why I've gone one too many caps in this kit. I might have taken one out. I wasn't supposed to Because it's normally a 23 cap kit at least that's what it says on the paperwork here so five three four Two 50 22 five three four and down Big fat legs on this one trim them The reflow just a couple more just a couple more You can see the light at the end We're close How about it? You guys helped me get to a hundred likes today We're averaging 25 likes an hour that is awesome You guys rule And now we got to be close somebody Who's going to be that like one hundredth like Who gets to say I'm the one hundredth dragging rights for days Now this is ridiculous. I'm going to have to pull out my little solder wick because If you look down here, there's actually not Beautiful now We go a hole now I'm gonna have to give him any free stuff. I'm just kidding Ariel we do need to get that I need to get that done with you man. I'm so sorry. I've been so just swamped with garbage this extra stuff that's slowed me down this this winter It's like every time With anything so we're gonna get all that stuff done So that you can take care of all the merch Because I don't even sell merch right now with the I mean there's something available, but it's not yeah We got to get it all done just through you some good stuff Oh, we got well over a hundred now. You guys are awesome hundred five I just checked swell good I know we've been talking about some special stuff. I didn't want to do normal Everything else aprons, right? Let's talk about a little bit here. How about that? How about a specialty? Sotter man CRT solder repair man apron isn't that cool where you could stick tools in it? Going back. We're going old school there Aren't we aprons are gonna be cool. All right. I'm trying to get this second to last capacitor in here, and then we're gonna go on the hunt for a hundred volts for 470 micro farads Really only shows you 92 that's crazy. It shows me 105 on mine. I don't know Maybe like youtube doesn't think that Maybe youtube thinks that 13 of the likes are illegitimate and it won't show it to you until It confirms 15 likes That would be good. All right time to hunt time to hunt in the Big box of capacitors. I don't know if there's One in there. Let's see. All right. Here's the tub that I have filled with other capacitors. We're looking for something big here 250 volt 25. Oh, see I got more than I knew I had here 50 volt 330 25 2200 gosh I don't know if I have that big Big chungus Well said that will let us behind. I mean that's not even in the kit. So we're gonna stick the old one back in Because it's not I don't even know why I removed it And I don't have it and it's not affecting anything. It's a filter cap However filter off the h2 line. So there we go everything's in There we go Now somebody took it away, I guess or it's saying my like doesn't count sometimes doesn't like my count Doesn't let my like count Since I'm not actually watching So one thing I'm going to do is I'm going to reflow solder here, which is the main that's the flyback transformer Okay So we're going to solder I'm going to reflow the solder there also But then it's just clean up and test That's so great Yeah, so the cool thing is is like when you guys hit like it does again help The show get pushed That's really the only thing that helps the show that I found to get like More help from the algorithm is from you guys watching just watching it and actually clicking like All right, there's that one's done. We're gonna do We've got another transformer and inductor that we're gonna Go ahead and do this is This one's going to get it This is like a Potentiometer actually right here inductor coil Anything that could vibrate Should be one more transformer somewhere All right At least yeah It's up here. Sorry. We're gonna do this one There's a couple inductors right next to it that we're gonna also flow Because I have seen those go Start to wear out and either vibrate We just don't want to do that and make some like high-pitched noise like Still fud This diode looks pretty sketchy Should be good just Now you get started and you don't ever want to stop because I'm gonna keep flowing. All right time to QC And turn that off Time to quality control check everything I want to make sure I didn't Put a capacitor in backwards or a wrong capacitor in so Before I clean up. I'm gonna check stuff and then we'll clean and then we'll photograph Everything we're all good. Everything I see Is correct. It's installed correctly And we're all ready And it's always smart to just check stuff. Just check it out and make sure that Because I've made mistakes you could make mistakes. We all make mistakes. We just don't want compound those mistakes So I'm pretty much just going to be cleaning off I guess this end of the Of the board more than anything that I actually put the solder on which would have been this side As you see it's facing down That way It's been too much time cleaning extra More than we need to scrub a dub dub. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh my goodness my uh Cable just for my camera just obviously took a dive I shook the table too hard killed it Let's see I might have just totally Oh I think I just totally smashed it That's funny It totally just took a nose dive. Thankfully, this was like the cheapest camera I had Then let's see Let's see if I uh If it's done for Yeah, I think it's I think I killed it. That's why you know what's a live show Things happen. Thankfully that didn't smack the CRT We'll see. Well, I just put it all together backwards too No, let's see if this doesn't last it's like the most durable The light's not functioning. Well, I think I just killed I think I just killed the the camera That's messed up. Let me try to plug it out and plug it in All right We'll see let's see Hey You gotta love it. Look at that thing It's tough as nails It's tough as nails. That's too funny Well, that was exciting nothing like Nothing like a little excitement Especially when you've been just cleaning a circuit board. That's not exciting. So you gotta have something fun to happen All right too funny Too too funny. Thank you Thank you everybody hit the like button just like rob cat Help the show Help the show survive another minute. All right We're all good told you we're fine We're gonna be good. We're gonna go through it We'll make it But we're going to have to go to the wind tunnel now to dry this back the way off Excuse me for one minute as I go through this in the wind tunnel. All right So the good thing Is we're getting close to done Even though I did just Almost bust that camera Um, we're gonna finish cleaning up. We're gonna finish getting this thing back together I'm gonna test it make sure That we have gotten rid Of all our issues, right? We got to get rid of those Geometry problems. We got to get rid of those Red green and blue line problems So that's what we're working on. So we're gonna get that once it's through the wind tunnel. We're gonna get that over here Back into place And we'll get it cleaned up. So I'm gonna take A little bathroom break A little bathroom break go to the bathroom get check on that wind tunnel and we're gonna bring it back And install it. Let me get the screws because we do need some screws. Okay Definitely aren't gonna be doing that Ronnie All right, let me grab that. All right folks I need to take some pictures of this bad boy And then we're gonna install it All back in there. Come in Cole. Come on Cole wants to come back. He's finally ready to see if we are successfully able to Fix this circuit board Fix this circuit board. All right. Thank you all for hanging with me in this long lengthy stream See everything Worked out or not Brush off So that dust Don't want it to look bad in the pictures Now we're gonna prove Stream separated. That's a pretty good one For a second there. I didn't get it. You know For a second there you went over my head Okay, all right. Well, that's all good means we can Piece everything back together Get everything ready. I think that's good Now what I really would like to do is Blow this thing up just one more time With this guy it's finally time to piece it back together Of course, we've got four screws to put in here There's three short ones and then there's one that should be going in Into our fly back hold it into place That one's a little bit of tricky one. It's down here And this is the screw that was floating There we go. That was the screw that was floating around so it's like somebody had gone in and unscrewed that Pulled the board forgot to put it back in all the way or Unscrewed it lost the screw and then I was like, oh, what am I doing? Then got a couple more Screws one right in the middle. Here we go There we go. Look at all that perfect four screws in this board Good job dupes. Look at that You've got the courage The computer monitors can have a zap and arc you got to watch those fly backs. They can be a bit tricky they can actually burn out and arc and Split more common it seems like then regular TVs Silly dog Comes in here and wants to chew on his bone for one second Then wants to cry Okay Now um, I want to re-piece all this back together like this We're gonna just do a little light cleaning on this Shell just to dust off any debris that might be sitting on here That's what i'm doing right now And then we're gonna put this input board back in place And then we'll put the neck board back so we'll Slip that down in here that could be a lot of different things But it's always good If it's something that you didn't pay a lot of money for and it's something You know, you can always use it as a learning experience too Instead if you figured it out if you figure out what's wrong with it you get it working It'll be an amazing accomplishment and make you feel Like a million bucks, but Either way Um, that's the positive way to think about sometimes if even if you can't get something completely fixed Get an experience inside a crt and getting it, you know, just getting it get comfortable with discharging It's always fun It always sounds funny Sorry my 10 year old brain Okay, there we have all of that And that's how we'll do it. We'll take all this back like this. I don't like these little clips because they've just Worn out their welcome little clips We'll have to put all that back together Later all the clips and everything once we get it all finished. That's when you worry about putting back all that other stuff All right Here we go So what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna switch this camera Over I'm going to Actually use this camera I'm gonna do that and then I'm gonna point this camera over here Since I broke the other camera We'll just do that And we'll reinstall it Well, let's go for it folks. Let's go for the reinstall I'm gonna blow some of the dust out of here. There's not really much What we gotta do is we gotta put all these connection cables Just watch Because this guy Wants to be a little bit of a pumpkin Not follow The exact path to greatness Here we go Come on All right, there we go We're getting there. We're almost there a couple more ground cables All right Add a little grease All right, what do you think is it gonna work? Is it gonna work? All right, that's everything now. We're gonna give it a big test to ronnie All right The moment is here Whoo, here we go. Well, it's live tv It's live tv and Guys, it's we're on five hours. We're up to five hours. That's how long this all is taken So let's just hope I didn't do anything wrong Because Because I need a break because I need a break I need a little break So that means I needed to do everything right So i'm nervous I'm nervous But I think we're good. I am still nervous So as I clear up my work spot Get some stuff out of the way Just uh Give myself a break In case there is something wrong. I don't really want to Think about it just yet. So i'm sorry to make you wait another minute or two as I put up And clear off my workstation With items I won't need But that's what we're gonna do That's what we're gonna do. So if you haven't already go for it. Hit the like button. It might be the last The last opportunity. This might be your last opportunity of 2023 to click the like button. That's enough That's enough. Let's see. Let's see everybody Let's see how we did All right, here we go. Here we go. Everything's ready. Everything's plugged in I hear it. Everything's coming on like it normally should Gosh, I'm nervous. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, yes Ha ha ha ha ha Awesome awesome. Let me show you why It is so awesome It is awesome because Because everybody there's no more red green blue lines and Our geometry started out perfectly red green and blue lines are gone. So if I go over here to this no more No more retrace lines. Didn't even have to make an adjustment The red green and blue lines are gone. They're out of there. Let's go to under scan. Let's go back here And then now this is this video. I'll go to under scan And they're up here. This is poorly adjusted, but they're up there where they're supposed to be Awesome Look at that under scan adjustment. Looks awful. Okay. Well, cool. Woohoo is right Holy crap that took a long time. Man. I thought I'd get done with more than one in five hours Folks, I really appreciate your dedication You're awesome. Everybody Everybody's come in. I know like toky doky has been here since like the beginning I think you you for sure have I know some people have come in and out Ronnie. Yes, you've been here too Robcat has been here a long time Let me see Now this is gonna need some adjustment Obviously But uh for now it's it's right where it needs to be hardware is good We'll let it run for a while Let it run for probably an hour or two heat up all those caps make sure everything is good And then you can go in and start considering it ready to be adjusted It's gonna get a slight calibration for things like focus Um, I'm gonna do screen tilt going to do geometry going to do convergence static dynamic As well as like corner convergence and then aspect ratio for geometry and then once all that's said that's pretty much where I leave it and I'll do some color checks Because it's got to be at least within a certain tolerance for color not spot on but Hey, it's here. This one see this one doesn't the color Doesn't exactly seem right to me on this Okay, cool everything's performing right but yeah, that's That's a full day's work. Well, not a full day's work, you know, maybe another hour or two But that's how long these take man There's no like secret Now I gotta clean it and do those adjustments and put it all Uh, put it all back together So, yeah, you're looking at five plus another hour and a half six and a half hours Now I could have done it in five and a half hours if I wasn't streaming maybe But wow kind of shows you how much Work really goes into it. And then if this is this is one that had no problems What if you have an issue that causes you to troubleshoot for an hour or two? It's just said it's more to the job All right, but I'm happy I'm happy and the same thing was wrong with the big one It's the exact same repair for that the big one Uh, but this one's, you know Pretty much On the downhill side of done Uh, but I'm not going to start a second one because then I will be here at this 10 p.m And I'll be exhausted So guys, thank you. Thank you all. Hey You all are awesome. Thank you so much for being here with me today. I had a lot of fun. I didn't get to do Didn't get to do any streams Very much this month in the last couple weeks. It's been a lot of fun to do this And again, I will be working on some full-on episodes because those always do really much much better on the channel and uh Get a lot of viewers that way and then they come in and they can come be a part of this show and Anyway, thank you everybody. Uh, I think this is one of the first times Aside from the eight inch pvm that we've done the full like every bit of restoration on the hardware To get to this point. You didn't miss anything Oh, andre, thanks for being here. Anyway, everybody. Thank you again for being here Have a great wonderful weekend and happy new year to all of you because I don't think I'll be streaming again before new years, but Who knows, you know, you never know what happens. What's gonna happen, but Keep it Excuse me Keep an eye out on the channel. Oh man. Look at koala koa dropping a $20 super chat at the end and thank you so much koala Ben, you're awesome Mad scientist does it again. We get it. We get another one fixed That's we're gonna do happy new year everybody and uh, I'll see you in the next stream go follow on twitter and uh You guys be good to each other happy new years again. I just love doing this love getting to do it with you and uh I will be at a basketball game tomorrow JMU dukes are going for a 13th win In basketball 13 to know hopefully we can do it. It's gonna be a tough game but uh, I will be there and uh Until the next one, which I'm thinking next next week. We should be able to stream no problem No problem at all next week. See you next week. There it is The bunker's back next week 2024 first official episode I'll have to have something special for you more special than this. Look at randy. You're awesome too, man You guys are great trying to keep me from what not Not uh, not leaving You want me to start another one? You're tempted me I don't think I can do it. I really do appreciate randy and koala for the big super chats And anybody else who gave we had a couple super chats. It's awesome really does help You all are awesome And uh, I'll see you in the next venture the next crt. I really am gonna end the stream though Five hours. You did it. We did it
