 We have another one. Another one of the cheapest PVMs you're going to find on eBay and we're about to unbox it, but I'm not as confident in the packing job here, so let's just see what happens. Alright guys, welcome back today. Again, I've got an unboxing and this is one of these things I just continue to do to myself is just to see how good people actually when they sell you an eBay, what kind of good deal can you get? What the condition of their packing is and it's always something different and I think that I've kind of shown you that in the last couple unboxings, so we had a really good job packing on the last two 8 inch PVMs we bought, but this one, this one is not packed particularly, you know, wonderfully where I would consider it a good packing job, but just based on this outside box, let's go look at it a little closer. I'll give you some details on why. I think that now first off, if you're hoping for a Brutus sighting, Brutus is going to be staying inside today because it is extremely hot here in Tennessee. I mean today, the ambient temperature right now is right at, it feels like it's 105 degrees, but it's mid 90s 70% humidity, so it is a torture chamber out here in my shop with very poor, you know, temperature controls, which means nothing. No, no temperature controls. Anyway, let's get back to our box. This is the box. Now it's a Samsung box that was from a laser printer, a monochrome laser printer, so the size in the box is almost a 24-inch cube, but it's a used box and it's got gashes in it. It's not held up particularly well. Look at that and you know, here's another big gash inside of it and I can feel, I can feel the bezel right there. That's the bezel. Like I'm touching it with my fingers. Look at that. Right there. So right when I saw the guy from FedEx dropping this off from the truck, I was concerned. I went out there and helped him and the sad thing is, is you can buy a nice 24-inch cube electronics box that is double walled, brand new for under $8 US here in a store called U-Haul, which is where I got all these other boxes. You know, they sell these nice moving boxes and shipping boxes for only $8 about and that would have done a world of difference for this one. The reason I really do this is because I know that I can handle if I have to go through a claim with eBay. I've done it before and I'll do it again if I need to. That's kind of why I took the risk here. I knew that it wouldn't bother me. I didn't want somebody else to have to deal with that risk really and I figured that the way these were priced, that basically they were underpriced and I was concerned. I just let the guy ship it the way he did. He shipped them quickly. They did get here really fast. It only took about three days since I bought it and the price I paid for this was $200 US plus shipping and what we've got here is a 20-inch monitor. That's an insane deal and it's an Olympus OEV202 which is the equivalent or clone of the Sony PVM1953MD which is one of my favorite medical monitors. I was really glad to see it. It did have a picture of the screen tested as far as powered up and working like you know the normal screen for the service menus was pulled up and man I tell you if this made it we are really lucky. Look at this. I would never be able to sleep at night if I packed a 20 inch CRT like this but that's just me. We've got one nice tiny layer of bubbles, a little bigger layer of bubble and let's just see what happened. Alright so let's zoom in down here. I noticed literally no packing. I mean who does that? Seriously. Seems like the tube's still in spot. Now what has happened is we've got obviously these handlebars are bit. Now thankfully on this version there's metal so they won't break as easily. If these would have been the plastic ones they would have shattered so I can actually remove these and bend them back in place straighten them up and get them cleaned up. The buttons are disgusting. It's not. But yeah. It looks like we might have somehow had a miracle happen and might might get lucky so let's let's go right now and get it on the test bench and see what happens when we fire it up. Okay before I do that though let's look at this box real quick so there is that oh a power cable how wonderful. Anyway there's a just the bottom I guess from the leftover styrofoam in the printer so this dude's luckier than he knows I guess but anyways that was jammed down in there we got you know three six feet of big bubble wrap and literally like what maybe another 15 so like less than 20 square or 20 feet of bubble wrap and that's it that's literally everything that was used to pack this right there the whole shebang so I really it's a miracle this didn't get destroyed at least it's a double wall box but what a joke let's hope it turns on because it did say it turned on so there's still a chance something internally like a board was damaged but yeah that's it guys whoa and that's why there's so many of these that end up destroyed is they get shipped in these kind of type of boxes that gives it less than a 50% chance to make it here let's go ahead and start testing it the first thing I'm going to do is just simply power it on and we'll see what happens I have not tried this at all I literally just plugged it straight in and we'll see hopefully goodness we got power on we got a picture oh that man okay let's now switch over to RGB and see what it looks like alright I think I have a good sign here that this is actually in good shape we're going to load a game here and kind of see what happens wow yeah not even any screen burn or anything let's see if the volume will work at all on here oh yeah well there you have it folks look well I mean it was obviously this is a risk that wow paid off huge for me and deals are still out there but again this could have you saw that packing this could have been in a million pieces just as easily as it showed up like this and this one doesn't even look like it needs much now I will go ahead and put a cap kid in it and give it a full adjustment cleanup and restoration but man that's great all right there we have it another Sony PVM to get working on I definitely will be bringing you more information on this Olympus OEV 202 in the future so look for that to come soon in the meantime I'm going to try to cool off man I'm not joking it is hot out here I will see you guys next time for some more retro content
