 hello hello yes we are live today hello hello excuse me yes hello hey Keith thanks for showing up mark subtle mega cards limonardo thank you Stefan C this is gonna be really close to that 1440 QM it's like the American brother or cousin of that CRT so yes PO 17 another great CRT enthusiasts welcome in live thank you for coming Patrick McCarthy hello to you hey Brandon Kelly I'm having a great day thank you hope you all are too they horrid welcome chameleon 2606 thank you thank you all for coming this is great so yeah I'm having a fantastic day I'm just having a wonderful day actually so I'm very happy to be here I know that's kind of cliche a thing that Louis always jokes with me or says about you know just being so optimistic but actually today's been a really great day so what what I can tell you is a couple things let me check my audio a little bit to turn that down tiny bit I don't want to be clipping out on you guys I know sometimes it's it's a new setup so I can have a couple things off here but we definitely have an unboxing you see a box right there in front of you and what else has been going on that's been so great well first off you know we did a little show Zez and I did called the cathode ray podcast and it's something that you know we hadn't done together in darn near two and a half months and so yesterday we had a new episode come out over on Zez retro here on YouTube and it's been a great episode it's a lot of fun sure a lot of people saw it because it's got like some of the best numbers we've ever had for the first day of the show hey demon child yeah so that was been that was an awesome run to watch that and see that because you know it's been a break on that show for a little bit we have reasons for that if you want to go see you can check that out first off if you're here and ready to have some fun hit the like button for me if that's possible I know sometimes you're not logged in maybe watching on the computer not logged in or on a work station that's fine don't worry about it but if you can it helps out a bunch so do that for me hey Travis how you been good to see you so yeah that episode came out very well received a lot of fun talked about some crazy CRTs that Lewis and I had been finding links for in China and man it's crazy we started talking about this on Twitter and I was laughing with you Lewis I was like my Twitter feed has never been more active and he thinks it has in the last 24 hours since we've been talking about these Chinese CRTs that are supposed to be new and it was even better because today a lot of the Alibaba links that we referred to have just gone a wall they're removed on my side of the world and in my region it's sometimes it says the sites down for maintenance when I click on them hey Brian Harman and you're good to see you yeah so excuse me that was a lot of fun just to poke around and see we'll see what can happen if there's any way we can import some hey you know me I'm all for it that'll be a lot of fun as long as it's not insane which I don't think it would be so anyway thanks again for coming that that was all fun and games a minute earlier this morning I had an incredible experience and hey I was actually able check it out I was able to get a whole video again done this week which has been awesome I've been back on that track of getting something out like a main good video every Friday so that was now this will be three Fridays in a row and I should have something ready for the Friday after that so we're getting back on track of getting a lot more content on the channel plus all these live streams this is now the 26th live stream of 2023 that's happened here on the channel so just I was very pleased in my thought process because kind of at the beginning of this year when I was planning this whole thing out I thought I'd be lucky to get honestly 30 streams for the entire year of 2023 and at this point we're at the point where we're already gonna blow that out of the water as long as everything is good it's only four more streams after this and it's not even August yet so plenty of time so that's all great and I got some more people showing up hey Edward Nando thank you thank you for coming Pepe Gascope was there something on fishy going on with the CRT listing this one I'm not sure if he's talking to me but retro mythologist thank you hello Brandon Kelly again thank you hey great I'm glad you've been enjoying it thank you for the compliments and so that's all let's see what else there's been so much other good stuff yeah today I the video I'm actually gonna be about I'll tell you just a little bit about it it'll be out tomorrow I just got my thumbnail back and everything hey Wolf thank you so this video I was actually cleaning up this whole spot my shop I've got a new storage space and then my offloading area I was cleaning all this out and as I was doing that I was separating everything and I found so many just wrecked PVM parts taking up huge amounts of space that had absolutely no there's absolutely nothing like beneficial for them to be here anymore these are things that I have so much of like it starts to pile up and it just gets in the way for the most part and a good example of some of the things would be like shells of the shielding for things inside of a PVM so you've seen a lot of CRTs get wrecked and shipping when they come to me and when that happens most of the time the seller doesn't want it back if it's bad enough I get stuck with it I break everything down but there's a lot of these parts that I just don't need and I don't really want to throw them away and that's kind of what this video is about it's all about kind of recycling and disposing of CRTs and all this stuff that you get stuck with if you're into this hobby you get stuck with these electronics that are almost useless and you might need the space I needed the space so you can make the best out of this situation by actually taking these to local places that will buy the scrap metal from you and if you separate it out you get a good you know it's not you're not making a bunch of money but it's it's it's good it's better than throwing it in the garbage having to go to the landfill if you go and take it to these places that bet there's a lot of benefits to that because they're gonna strip it down and reuse it so you get that element back into the lifeblood of the electronics and all new stuff and so it gets reused recycled and so that's kind of a lot of what's gonna be in that video showing you how that works showing you what you get when you actually do go to those recyclers and so that was a lot of fun I actually did it this is the second time I've done it locally here because I'm lucky I've got one or I've got like half a dozen of them within a half an hour but there's a couple of them within like five miles of me so yeah yes Patreon if you need a CRT I do have one listed there right now Matt Johnson and someone else if anybody asked about that and yeah the Alibaba listing yeah we don't know yet so we're still trying to work on that and figure out what's going on that's if it's legitimate I mean I have a legitimate business in the United States that could import a load of these CRT's and I would do that if I could the thing is with Alibaba we definitely know that I would need a local contact in China that was an exporter and pretty much you know I had to pay them to ship it in the United States I'll import it and actually there is an import here within like three hours of me because I am near the coast relatively so there are bays you know they actually do ship and see containers and things so that's it's not impossible and I think it would be an awesome fun experience I would make one heck of a video I know that like a whole series you can make a year's worth of content on something like that but yeah so I'm just gonna let things get warmed up I know I'm kind of talking my ear off but that all went well got that video done it said I'll finish up everything and have it going tomorrow to be out for sure no problem about noonish eastern standard time it will be available on the channel but how are you guys doing everything great out there everything sound okay if there's any issues with anything just let me know I can definitely turn down turn down the background music just a touch absolutely I do need art van delay he's an importer an exporter you know and he would definitely be importing CRT's in the year 2023 that sounds about perfect so yes you know there's something I had a little bit of a conversation with us after the show when I was discussing with Lewis you know a lot of times we talk and then we get to talking longer than after the show it was about like the collector the collector mindset and how I know for a fact like I've got it in my blood like generational collecting and I think I'm going to do a video on that talking about like my life and all this stuff hey 8-bit Esquire how you doing my friend thank you so yeah you know so I lost my train of thought there for a second but well the collector mindset okay sorry so yeah the collector mindset is you kind of you jump from thing to thing I know that I've done it a ton of times I've got so many different weird small collections of things I mean I'm talking about like a decent amount of comic books but I have a lot of comic books from the not a lot but literally two boxes and yet a estimate value would be like a couple thousand dollars on every one of them they're all from like the 60s they're those marvel like fantastic fours and spider-man's and not huge ones the biggest one I do have one big one but there's a couple that are worth a few hundred bucks and I've just got them sitting there I was into comics for like a year and a half and then and then I popped over now what was I into I mean and then like I've always tinkered with sports cards a little bit since being a child like in the 90s there was even a time in my years of early high school when I would go to a comic book shop and we would play magic the gathering of course too this was all stuff you know these are all different things that I've considered collecting had collections of and then other things you buy and you just don't like it all but you end up with some of them of course CRTs and I have a million CRTs and in there's always video games so you end up with all so much ridiculous stuff but the one great thing that I've personally been able to do to help me deal with it I know I'm gonna buy stuff I try to figure out what can I like get myself into you get yourself you relax there a bit I'll I'll get to my own I'll unbox this at my own pace okay so I I've been working on collecting stuff that's just like as cheap as possible that nobody really has a huge markup even on ebay for and one of those things I was going to show to you real quick before they do the unboxing I'm sorry it's been 15 minutes I know but I've been working on laser discs and I'll switch over here to the full-on base view for this yes hello my wonderful haircut here I have been working on a laser disc collection and this is just a portion of it but this is what this is what I've been working on currently the most and that is because I went into a secondhand store in Nashville when I was in town there a couple months ago and I found that or they were having a laser disc sale and I have a really good laser disc player and I found this set it was marked for eight dollars but there was a sale going on where it was 25 percent off and it was your lovely 007 himself Sean Connery the OG you know Mr Bond here and this is a cool three laser disc set I thought man dang for like six bucks how can I not how can I go wrong with this it has the cool thing about these is you know they have these inserts I don't know how many of you guys have ever even seen a laser disc but this particular collection a lot of them will just have the discs and like sleeves and nothing really special with them but this one had some cool stuff it has this cool this cool insert just like a lot of stuff you know from this 90s time period just love love this crap right I mean how amazing is that so this first collection it has dr know from russia with love and then goldfinger which are the first three and here's what the discs look like they come in a sleeve like this and they're these giant like they look like platinum records look at the reflection there and the crazy thing is that they got this cool analog video on here and they got really good sound like thx sound on these but they can hold about an hour's worth of footage so you know that's why you have so many discs and you have to flip them so every hour there's a there's an intermission which for me is fine I actually like having an intermission in my films so I don't know if anybody's still remaining here I know you look for a crt unboxing we're definitely going to do that here in a second but that got me into getting more so I did pick up and now look at the condition here and the reason this looks so good is I bought this from ebay I got it for $12 and I think that was shipped to maybe two or three more for shipping but this one is brand new like it uh it hadn't even been open it was sealed plastic so I could have maybe been ahead of the next water curve and just blown up my investment with this by opening it but I've been watching them loving that to enjoy them and um I'm actually on diamonds are forever but I'm waiting if anybody knows James Bond history they'll know that you have to kind of watch this other one before you watch that I'm going in order from one to uh to the last of whatever I get so uh that's the sixth they call the Connery collection but if you really know what's going on and you're in the real know you also know that Sean Connery was in never say never again way down the road like when was this one out 19 well 1983 and like the last one you only live twice or diamonds are forever was all the way back in like 70 um early 70s and then you had the whole Roger Moore James Bond and this he comes back and Kim base singers in this looks awesome I mean this was the last one I picked up I always try to look for ones that are in letterbox or not letterbox I'm sorry I love the ones that are like this because they're also in uh wide not widescreen they're in full screen so when you watch them on crt it's just a great sound amazing uh so that's the official seven that he was in uh but I also got this one which is just probably the coolest one I own right now I got it for uh under four dollars at that same store and it's golden eye and the cool thing about golden eye is if you watch the movie and it doesn't take you very long the very first scene with Boris and Natasha I think it's her name anyway the very first scene of them they are literally hacking computers using sony pvms pretty much exactly like the ones you don't know we work on here all the time exact same units it is awesome so it's like an m series or 54q or something you'll see a ton of those in that opening scene and then there's a bunch of huge monitors hanging from the ceiling and then all that gets blown up when the uh golden eye satellite system gets stolen and you know uh it gets nuked that site does from golden eye one of the first targets and you just see all those crt's explode and so it's really fun seeing to go back and watch now of course being into crt's but this particular one again spares no uh expense when it comes to the interior here just amazing look at that like this one definitely one of my favorites i'm so glad i grabbed it but very fun look at that there you go and the cool thing is this has so much extra stuff it has all the tv ads ever for it it's got 18 different tv ads and tv spots uh a bunch of things called the golden eye dossier it's got the music video from tita turner which is just awesome so a lot of fun collecting these things really good sound these kick the snot out of vhs players kick the crap out of them so that's a new thing plus you can store a bunch of them you know but all right that's been the uh that's been the fun stuff that's going on and so like my friend said mr apet esquire let's let's go ahead now and get this box ready and open her up and i've got a couple different views here i'm not sure exactly what will work best i want to be near the uh microphone so i can kind of monitor things and what i think i need to do is probably pull it closer here and i'm going to expand my microphone out a little bit like this i'll probably turn the gain up and then i'm going to use this look at this little old old timer want to be old timer pocket watch want to be we're going to use that and i might use this view i'm not sure uh i've got this view here so i'm going to try to pull that over here a little bit like where my hand is and then i've got this storage bin here so in case it's full of our favorite packing material packing peanuts in case it is full of that then we can easily uh dump it into this bin and i don't have to make a huge mess so that's kind of the plan now so hope everybody's ready let me see if this will do anything i can add some light that might be a little better there let's see maybe that'll help a little bit we'll maybe turn this one that way a little bit i'm not sure and i'm going to pull this over and uh let's see what else where is this this is the desk view so maybe i can just turn off the semi cam because i feel like this is actually pretty good because my other option again would be the other camera i think this is going to be better i know the shipping labels on one side of both one side of these so obviously don't want to have that be shown but good uh decent looking box here no real issues no problems with it so i was really optimistic that it was going to survive and be good uh but goodness gracious the funny thing is is i have another one that's scheduled to arrive any minute now uh any minute now i'm sorry i don't know about you but like that the air quality in my my area has been just a phenomenally awful uh from the forest fires and it's just been really hard uh to uh get through it sometimes outside i can't lie looks like we're going to be in luck here we don't actually have any uh we don't actually have any packing peanuts you could see that from oh that's great you can see right down into it you can even see our uh cold dog is uh his food back there looks good so we got some foam or not foam bubbles it's not very much of it though yeah it's kind of just that's two pieces that are out this is the third literally it's people just like throw it in a box the fourth piece and this one is half inflated half deflated i bet there's not 10 pieces of that inside here oh man so we may have a busted pvm still i'm giving it i'm giving it a little bit of touchy touchy make sure that nothing's busted real bad or anything a little touchy touchy and then i'm gonna pick it up and we'll move it and that's it look at that what do we think does it look okay here like i can't believe the level of packing her lack of i guess you could say and hey it happens i mean oh my gosh i got a really really lucky here i think hopefully right there's still power testing but if i switch over to the other camera view i'm gonna move the monitor over there so yeah there it is what do you think guys holy moly uh uh whoa whoa nelly that had a disaster a disaster written all over here box like inside the box there's one uh two three four more pieces so i believe yes i was right there's under 10 pieces of this and then this box thankfully the box is good here look at this the box right here it's going to be hard to see but it's a double wall box so it's got two walls so that's a higher test my goodness it can pass a higher strength crush test like don't you love it that the uh they they call it the crush test of course it's called the crush test what else what else should it be called okay so right now hey let's uh what i'm gonna do is i'm going to uh turn up the volume a little bit on the uh giz desktop audio for you and then i'm going to go over here in your picture and i'm going to set up this pvm and i'm gonna just inspect it real quickly make sure everything looks okay and then i'll set it up and uh we'll test it from over there and then we'll come back to the camera and and look over here and follow it up at the microphone so that's what we're going to do everybody hang out with me and let's go and see what we can find here all right all right let's see we have a sony pvm 1340 with a manufacturing date or year of 1991 get the old timer out here and uh this guy hopefully won't ruin our label built-in power cable looks good this pvm line as a built-in power cable but that's good that's going to be too big for my old timer hang on this one's gonna hold you can you know come over here let's put it up we're going to sniff that put that cable that's actually pretty clean and uh our input board back here we're going to plug in rgb the bottom and we also have inputs for composite video as video vtr and we have a vertical hold adjustment and a color temperature selector all right so adapter time it's adapter time and this won't work right now actually we got to modify the set to get the audio to work on rgb but we'll have everything plugged in for that nintendo up here you got electricity plugged in let's get it set up all right we're about to try this live for the first time here we go like it's ready that's all we need to do let's see what happened you can hear it we got led power oh yes it's true it's survived let's take a look at it this is wonderful wonderful wonderful see i knew it was going to be a good day what did i tell you good day good things are happening hey steven schneider sently deluxe thankfully no smoky no zappy no sparky not yeti at least hey mark hazy hunter thank you moncier mike oh wow you guys are wonderful for being here and hanging out thank you roll pats how's everybody else doing if i haven't seen you in the chat it's because i've been too busy a aka wavajak i have been too busy i'm sorry i had to step away from the chat for a second to open this box and hallelujah there it is it has survived and this has been one that i have been in search of for a while and for the reasoning not being because it's a legendary level pvm or anything this one is um i think i can probably turn some of these lights down a little bit this one's not particularly legendary for the fact that it's you know there's better versions of the 40 series by far this is actually the lowest on the wrong but it has a unique look to it that the others don't and like every other 40 series does not none of those other ones have the turning knobs on it and this was you know this represents the future they actually took this from the cheapest version and they took this into the future for the pvms that they would make for the next 25 years after this one so that's uh that's a lot of fun actually not 25 years would it be that's they probably finished i don't know 2009 ish pvms so uh 18 years i'm sorry i overestimated a little bit but yeah me too andre hey know them yes very surprised uh tv line count on this yes stefan c thank you um it should be about 450 and still good enough you'll see a definitely uptick in sharpness when you go to the next level ah but it's a good day things are happening so let's just take a look at this actually i mean look at this untouched let me fix the camera a little bit let's see here i should be able to give you guys just a better better view right camera control i can turn the autofocus off i can do it and if i do that tv the tv drive up easy time catching catching some scan lines let me see if there's anything else that'll be helpful i'm sorry this camera that's the thing about my show i'm capped out at 30 fps to broadcast here live i just realized i'm i'm cursed to stick to 1080p 30 fps which works with the crts and the cameras will work line count on a 14 l2 stefan is higher it is 600 lines and the other versions of the 40 series uh once you get to the 42 i believe it is and not know about the 41 i think the 41 stills a 450 line once you get to the other ones above that in the 400 series you get to a 600 line tube on that monitor also and then once sony got their m series which was the predecessor to the l series that's when they expanded it and got to 800 line tubes all right i think this looks actually pretty good let me see if i can see the monoscope pattern here and i'm looky there you got it right on your screen i may turn it down just a little bit but we're gonna go ahead and look at that this looks amazing this one has like i'm i'm shocked let me turn the t light above it off okay let me let me try to focus this up a little bit i can't really zoom in with this camera unfortunately the last one could but that's what kept causing my system to crash uh actually so let's go in here and we'll focus this a little bit see if we can look at that and that down a little bit i mean that like that just being delivered let me get this this light that's messing with it look at that that looks really nice yeah lower line count isn't always bad still looks good let's see if we can get a little bit better and focus those i don't think i can be just in focus perfectly horrible i'll give you some weird moirier patterns so we've got that screen i mean after recap this set's gonna look incredible impeccable it's gonna be amazing probably won't be able to see this too much on your screen but that's a good strong tube look at that yeah they all do look really good connery right good point great point you guys bringing some good bringing a game to the chat today it's awesome awesome stuff okay yeah let's put something on the tube then you guys have any requests to see on the game oh god got super nintendo here see you might have to focus that a little bit see i hate how the it's a little better should have a cap kit available for this already um one that i've published before on my patreon page and let me get in here and see if this one looks a bit better here we go yes demon child it not only fixes irregularities it'll ensure that you're going to have good performance for a much longer time thank you mark enjoy it too let's see what do i have over here that's ready to go let's we got earth from jim super street fighter you can see that my eyes are getting bad which can you see here you go here's something maybe we can get this to run nice star fox and i could do star fox looks pretty good i mean it looks better in person of course now i'm trying to make it feel good for you on the screen which let me see if any of this stuff helps at all we're getting tuned in there yeah see this this game has okay it's a good one to show off like there's a lot of games i try to find that just run good when i'm like like at conventions and things yeah you're right i should add it i haven't got light source the problem is i don't know if i can get one over there let me see let's see if we can add some light back there maybe make it better all right thanks euro i'll turn it down a little bit sorry it is loud you're right all right sorry about that yes the problem is i'm in the basement and i have some lights coming in from various spots it's not like i can i mean there's a couple windows back there the light changes over there lights are coming from different directions i kind of have to work around the space i do have good lights overhead but when i cut them off as you can tell like i just cut the light off me and i moved it over to the back of the screen i think it looks a little better all right yeah money ball yeah i mean it did look at keith it looking good man i'm gonna actually save yeah basement cave lighting i'm gonna actually save this uh to adjust keith and i were talking he has a new video you should go click on his name and check out this video where he shows you about adjusting this thing and that's what we're gonna do in an episode coming up but before that i've wanted i want to recap it because i was laughing with him saying there's no point in making me me making that type of an adjustment before i recap it this would be a perfect one though to work on on live stream yeah i think it looks a little better with the light behind it i mean again this is such a cheap camera i'm having to use right now you wouldn't even believe it it is like 10 dollars 15 dollars probably so nothing amazing at all and i actually turned down you see oh that looks good that shot looks good thanks for the tips pio oh well fun unboxing video today what do you guys think do you have any uh questions ideas wanted me to do anything with it you know um we have a little time we could probably pop the back off and modify it if you want and uh would you like to see that do you think we should modify it what it's a real simple modification let me make sure it's compatible and we'll see if that's a good that's a good way to do this gotta go over to the crt database and check out the sony page on the crt database database um this that's what i'm looking at over here just just to give you a heads up yeah that's what i'm going to do unmute the rgb audio jason i haven't got to see it yet too closely but it looks really great compared to a lot of other stuff that i've seen it's one of the best-looking ones compared to the last couple that have been in here that i bought okay we're on the crt database shout out to shout out to crt specialist andy king also for uh hosting all this great information let's go down here and we're looking for you know it should really be any of these 40 series ones right here and actually just so you can have everything i don't want you to feel like you're missing out on anything let me see if i can add add something here for you about that sorry about that that's not that's supposed to be that big but how about that how about that okay there we go so we're looking at the 1340 series not doesn't have the exact model here but that should not matter um audio for rgb inputs oh now this does not mention the 1340 but if i don't know so we'll have to see if it's possible and we can check it but there's a line on here that says like rgb audio you know and you just basically pull it i just clip it andy's pulled it here in this uh you can enable audio on rgb by simply removing the rgb wire on the q2 qe2 connector on the qe board so we're going to open it up and let's take a look at the uh you want to do that let's do this that's what we're here for this is what we do oh yeah this is what we do boom sorry about that burst on the audio all right well you guys know the drill i'm gonna have to set up a little bit better lighting let's start taking this thing apart then we'll break it down here on the desk and we're gonna do this modification okay sounds like that's what everybody i can bypass that on this one no i could use the laser disk and wait to the very end of the bond film yeah i did in 1942 hey i've got a surprise for you a bit if you're still here let me show you this i wanted to show you this maybe i'll just save it for the livestream i still haven't shown everybody what you gave me which was a beautiful gift i'll save it i've got something i'm going to get sent to you in the mail but hopefully you still want i don't know if you do anymore found it while i was cleaning my office okay let's remove the shell over here let's go over to our shop view and i'm going to kick the lights back up okay kick the lights back up i'm going to spin it around and we're going to take the back off a bit um now we're going to remove the qe board and do this modification you can see i'm going to get something to hold the screw i want to make sure this is in focus because i did have autofocus off let me turn autofocus back on hopefully it'll handle that see the garfield up there it smells like uh like really uh weathered leather like a leather jacket or old leather pair of boots or something it's the aromatic flavor of this particular pvm which is better than i could say some of them you smell they smell like fishy dead fishy crap thank you garfield there we go there we go hold this over here under more lighting now i'm going to see if i can show you something do you think how is that did that look good was that good what do you think well we'll switch over here now got the q one board here the q board i don't know what they call just the q board or the q one board on here but this one is different than the other one i wonder because there's a sink man i'm not seeing it on here unless it's well maybe it's this one see this baby this board's built to lift let me let me get you an overhead view let me get you an overhead view here let's cue one board hang on a second goodness okay and then bear with me for just one moment here i have to flip it i'm gonna flip it on you guys there we go oh i'm getting some glitch in here i'm sorry i don't know if it's it's going to hold together or not and now we might end up with some artifacts here i'm not sure what's going on uh the image looks a little bit sketchy right now so maybe i should i'm getting some interference here i might need to reset the camera pull it out and put it back in i'm not sure so usually this board looks a little bit different than this it's got more connections like something coming out of the side which it says you can by simply removing the rgp wire on the q e2 connector of the q e board and that's the q one the q i board and this is the q i connector right here see if i could pull my face over top of you there we go see me at the top of the screen hey so here we go this is the connector i'm thinking because this is the one um q 2 so the worst thing that could happen is it just doesn't work actually i'm sorry that's not the right spot that says this is the this is rgb up here but this is like the main connector i can't imagine that's the q5 connector q12 connectors right here video vtr sc and sy man this one's definitely built let's you know it's funny i actually have i have the board they're actually talking about in my shop i should have it let me see if i can find it i'm gonna go look give me one minute i'm gonna go look for this board and maybe we can find a replacement or a comparative model all right guys sorry about that i was muted yeah i apologize yeah i messed up there okay sorry about that there was a uh five minute you got to just see what i'm looking at and then now we'll talk about it okay so now we'll talk about it up top here on your screen this is from a medical unit so most likely a 43 md look at the back i mean look at it's got a ton more inputs right you've got rgb plus outs where you can daisy chain out and so if you have that monitor and it looks like this on the back this one's real easy to modify it's the one from the guide over here where it talks about severing this rgb line right here this connector let me show you on here he's talking about is just this one over here so you just on this model you just remove this and it's literally marked rgb here so like for example to do this mod on this one all you would have to do make sure that's rgb fourth one yeah all you have to do is this if your clippers were short that's literally all you have to do to do this mod okay so if i ever come back and look at this i will use this sorry if the camera is glitching i know it's it's been a little spotty this desktop one so like that's how you normally would do this modification we just did it and you go install it and then what you could do is you could see there's no input for audio where there's an audio input up here for video video which is two composites you have audio for your s video uh if you there's no audio input on this monitor for rgb well doing what we just did allows you to use this line a input and it'll put the audio into the monitor it'll do that now this board will there's nothing else you have to do that's it except install it but what else is on that line because i don't see like i said this 40 series you may not be able to do it now see i'm concerned that you know knocking this thing out on this rgb cable is not a smart idea like over here because only marked rgb is right here on this thing that's so i'm wondering if i could take like my multimeter and see if those those lines like are here's what i'll do i mean what else will we get to do i'll take this board we've modified and i'll strip these wires back a little bit and i'll use my multimeter and we'll try to see if if those are in line with the rgb on this connector right if it's our if it's the same line it'll be on a continuity meter let me strip this wire there we go there we go there we go we'll strip this side too because i don't know whether it's coming or going and then all we should have to do is stick a uh well if we can get something down in there should be able to get something okay okay so here's what i'd like to do the rgb line on this that's not even the right one which one am i looking at that's not gonna work mark the same is it rgb actually it is okay let's make sure that's yes it's right in the middle and it is one two three the eighth pin so you've got these five it's right in the middle right in the middle so this red and white one let me see if i get this it's in there i don't know we'll see if that works at all and then hopefully i could just tap this probe right here and see if it connects to either of these points here because i don't have the schematics for this particular monitor so we'll just do things the rugged old-fashioned way all right so here's my ends my leads to make sure that see that's open because there's no sound there look at that so this should be this should have no sound okay look at that look at this so we've got no sound on this end right you got no sound on this end for rgb but sound on this end no wait hang on yes that means it comes to that same path so maybe let's try it let's try it we're gonna just snip we're gonna snip that line on this one um the rgb line here which is also one whatever eight which should be this one right here and the worst thing like i said they could happen right that's rgb one yep same one that we're going to snip this one on our monitor we'll snip this cable and like i say if it if it's the case where we actually lose some other functionality which i doubt it is but if we lose some other functionality i'll leave it so i can come back and splice this back together easily and fix this okay that's what we're gonna do we're gonna snip that in half dreams come true thank you thank you thank you for everybody who's being here and patient with me it's going like smoothly yeah we're at an hour and 15 minutes sorry just wanted to check and see how much if i have any urgent urgent situations going on okay cool we're good we look good everybody out there looking good you guys doing awesome we're gonna get this now look at this this is all i'm doing this is like what are we gonna do to diffuse this one simple thing remove what instead just remove it from the header it's not really like that because this one doesn't come out of this board so i could splice it back right here so that's why i just i'm gonna clip it again this is non-destructive we can read we can fix this back it's fix this and and stuff let's just do it this is so good there we go there we go snipped snow going back now folks all right so now we will just take this and i'm gonna go back over to the monitor i'm gonna put you back on monitor view because we're gonna install this right here i'm gonna go back to shop view connery connery would be proud all right so the idea is just to go back and install it now let's see any picture and must be more vital it's not coming on the tubes on and see all right so back to the drawing board right back to the drawing board let's uh let's take a look here so this is our line that's severed this thing is really easy to take out so we're not really i'm not really worried about i'm gonna pull it i'm just seeing if there's anything else so obviously there's some kind of important functionality beyond just that going through there on this monitor so let's try re reattaching it you have an idea strip this away if you just do it like this right well let's just go ahead and reattach it yeah i don't really have time to sit here and do all that i was just hoping it would be an easy fix honestly because i just really need to take this thing apart i don't really want to do that the problem is on the other side it's all portioned in well so there's something right here but this is video vtr and then sc and sy and that'd be the only thing i could figure out maybe it would be on to be this line let's put it back together make sure it's still good let's make sure it's good here a little piece of this not very much so yeah this would deserve some more research maybe but i always told people i'm better just doing it not figuring it out most of the time oh there we go but it's worth a shot if you know well i guess it was worth a shot i'm not sure that this would have any effect on whoops any effect on the actual performance here of this monitor wouldn't suspect so it's just a small mend we need to make could take this a minute no because it's pretty awkward yeah see before i the guys before i go i can't like i don't have that much time to dedicate to this right now unfortunately to sit there and start probing it just yet i need to talk to andy king and keith see what they have to say because if they know how to do it already i'll just ask them that's good thank you for your help mr finger come on now there we go quick and painless because i don't think that's obviously not the spot i believe there probably is more information that's needed that's their voltage that's going to other places in the monitor or that would be the mod spot you know that would be the mod spot on the diagram possibly you have to look at like again the schematics for the 1340 there we go well see that's a good thing is that's a super quick hopefully fix and we can take this back and see that's a problem or if i did something else out i mean there's always a possibility on this particular monitor that i left a ground point out but not particularly that particular ground point that i did leave out shouldn't make any difference but you know there's also the question of can we just stick this input board in it and would it work with that other qd input board anyway i doubt it um i doubt it yeah this is this is one of the ones i know that like keith bought an actual copy of it so hopefully we can get it let me go over here let's install this dr wangam yeah see it's there definitely a vital part we just proved that right so that can't be severed hey james thanks for coming no keith it's 91 it's a 91 1991 it's got the knobs this one's saying this one is a little different it's the 1340 so let's see yeah we're not getting the audio yeah the chassis looks the same i think it would hurt it if i stuck a different board in there that is modified i mean it's just it's got the same and out right what if i stuck this one in there that is modified do you think that will matter hang on what if i stuck one in there from a 1340 something else you think that would there be any possible way for that to harm this if the pinouts the same at this point it's just this has extra features but damn i don't know anyway we're a plug that didn't blow the thing up um maybe we'll just we'll save that the audio works yeah um if i plug in another console let me show you yeah it's definitely got the uh audio working on this is s video now which looks good too it's definitely uh one more thing i definitely want to show on this before i just fail on it uh that's i want to show you something over here let's see this if this works hopefully won't shock me so i'm going to show you something on the side of this towering it off for a second you turn on the music so you can hear me good all right we're going to take a look at no music right now we're going to tear a little bit of music maybe but i'm going to uh show you something i found out on this monitor and hopefully at least i mean this happened on the other one i worked on the 44 cube but again we just proved that might be different what you're looking at is this point right here this is where my thumb is right here to remove this screw the monitor should not power on i don't think let's see just remove that those grounds are out like that all that is in the ground point just a ground point let's see if this one turns on or not like the other one i'm sorry the focus maybe messed up hang on no it looks okay all right let's see if it turns on now no you see see look at that see how it cuts off immediately it cuts off immediately like instantaneously it's cut off it's all turned off point again just go in here and reconnect this ground point turn back around and that's it isn't that crazy isn't that crazy it's not wild it's not wild stuff all you have to do all you have to do is disconnect that one ground point i showed you on this monitor and it will straight up not turn on it'll do a split second turn on sorry split second turn on and then once it does that split second turn on it'll turn right off and you won't get it to power on until you connect that little ground connection so that's it that's a little fun we got to experiment some have a good time are there any i don't know if there's any questions or anything but it's four o'clock which is kind of my deadline kind of kind of coming up on the time when i have to i have to move on folks i have to leave you today but please remember there is the new video coming tomorrow definitely will be out just got to put some stuff into the title and the rest of that and if you need anything and you're on my patreon please send me a dm thank you everybody who's come today in the chat and hung out it's been some great talking there and guys i will see you all in the next stream but first you'll see me tomorrow and then have a great week yet i'll see you guys next time
