 Hi, I'm Steve with Retro Tech and welcome to Quick Talks. These are gonna be focused videos on one specific topic and today's topic is CRT convergence. So why don't you come a little closer to the screen and take a look at what I'm looking at here? Okay, so as you can see here, we have some pretty severe CRT convergence and What that means is just that our color bars are guns shooting our colors Separated those colors are supposed to be lined up Together those lines should be all white and solid and they should not be red green and blue And you shouldn't see red green and blue dots. So this whole monitor you can see the front here has some pretty fear convergence problems and We're gonna try to take a look at what's maybe causing that or what is going on I know with this specific monitor. It's just because that One of potentiometers has moved out of the way Also to note we are using a 240p test suite grid screen here to check this but after this I just gonna have to take off the back and Look around back there and see what we can do to make an adjustment and I've taken off my screws and my shell to the outside of the monitor and You can see The area that we're actually looking for today It's going to become in off the flyback here, which is this black machine part right here and You can see there's a potentiometer down here, but that's for focus. So maybe we'll cover that in another topic But if we follow the lines up here onto the back of this board This is what we're looking for This little black box here It's plastic. It's got that white knob on it And as you can see if we look from the back, it's marked H stat and that's exactly what we want We're going to try to turn that while our CRT is running and make our adjustment Looking at our screen. So let's go back and watch as I turn this Back in front of the screen now and you can see your convergence problem still there but I'm going to start twisting this and You can see it's just pushing those Beams back together so they're back In one solid place And you want to make sure your lines are all straightened out But that is the simple Adjustment to correct convergence All right. Now.
