 Hello. Hello, everybody. Thank you. Thank you for coming in Are we all doing today? I've been having an interesting day, but I'm excited to be here on a show with all of you on The bunker welcome into the bunker Now I'm just finishing up putting some things together. I was definitely wanting to have a show today, but Kept seeming to run into some roadblocks, so Bear with me as I get things ready, but I do have a fun show planned And it's one of those things that took me up to about the last minute To actually finish, but I got it done. Hey everybody. Thank you. All right. I'm about to do some shout outs here in the minute Because it looks like we got some people pouring into the chat. Thank you all for coming today. Happy Thursday to everybody Hey Delusional my buddy. You're here today. That's awesome All right guys Daniel Gonzalez. Thank you for coming Robert Thank you for coming W. Morford. Thank you for coming also Curtis Hamilton. Hey mega cards. Thank you for coming Jake Scott. Yeah ready to get zapped PO 17 Of course the best CRT's always said what that's a pretty good like rhetorical question PO 17 Why do you think something about being the best also leads to? Being the hardest to deal with or having the most problems or whatever and So I thank you all first off for coming into this wonderful live show now I know that there's a portion of the audience that comes in that's new every time Thank you all for coming in and dropping by and checking out this show First off if you do like this show, please hit the like button for me First off because that does help the reach of this show It happens normally every Monday and Thursday, but I do try to bring this show every week Twice a week to you here live where we'll have some cool new tech thing or not really new retro tech thing and So that's what I've got today today. I've got an awesome PVM that we're gonna look at a 20 L5 and it's actually here in the studio here in the bunker with us all so we don't have to worry about Going somewhere else to find it because this is about as big of a CRT as I will carry down into the bunker I don't like to go much bigger than that. Hey clash and Hello cozy cathodes. That's a cool name. I like your little Your your picture too because that looks like it looks like a CRT projector Which actually I have here in the bunker too, but as you can see maybe if you're paying attention There's Cole in the background. Hey Andre He is obviously rowdy today, so I don't know whether he looks like he may be going back. Let's see. Yep. He's back Okay, look he found something to chew up wonderful So we'll have the cold cam going for a minute because I'm not sure what that rascals up to today and He didn't have anything to eat So I'm not sure what he found to chew up, but it sounds like it's a big piece of plastic wonderful Cole You've rascal. Anyway, thank you again. Thank you for dropping the like again that always helps out the show I really appreciate it.

I will be making new friends So please come and hit me up if you're gonna be at the show But one of the things I wanted to show you all today was something that I will have at the show And let me get back to my facial view right my beautiful facial view right here Move this because it's it's kind of in the way. All right Let me Let me check things out. How are things going so far? Everything sound okay? I'm imagining Hey, we're mailed out. Thank you. Thank you for coming in all the way from Brazil. I hope you are well Down there south of the border Hey juxtapause Buried bits good to see you in this morning now this my friend This Is a wonderful head-sized CRT right just a beautiful Piece of Sony hardware and you may wonder why is this on my shoulder? Well, this is going to be at the music city Multicon and let me ask you a question. How many of you out there? would Love to have this beautiful PVM working not a single problem with it It's actually let me tell you a little bit about it first. Okay, so this will be a chance to be somebody's out there who comes to this show and I'll tell you a little bit about it. It's the high resolution version of this PVM line. It's the PVM 8 2 2 1 I have opened this up completely cleaned everything checked everything out and everything looks great There's no problems on it. I even tweaked some of the settings got it looking great but this has a 400 line 450 line tube in it and This little beauty is a little bit more compact than the larger later series It's an older one. I'm not gonna lie this one is from 1986 comes with Composite inputs there and unfortunately. Yes, this is a composite. Sorry. It's a composite only monitor now Even though it's a composite only monitor someone will get to have this lovely for Working CRT for only ten dollars ten dollars Can you believe that? Someone will pay ten dollars and get to walk this wonderful service by me DVM now look, I didn't recap this thing I would be I would be like in for a week's worth of work then and go bankrupt I wish they did too, but it's still a cool little CRT even if you're just looking for something I mean this would be in and out Composite so few like a streamer and you just want to use composite video and have a way in and out to play games Well, you're I don't know streaming retro games This is gonna be perfect and ten dollars. How does that work? Yep raffle. That's right buried bits. Hello rollpads dwarf Gilius, yes, we're gonna do a raffle for this beautiful high-res now look if you're if you're Sorry, I'm probably knocking the crap out of the microphone if you're wondering. Yes, it's a CRT That has the same tube is like the high-end eight-inchers So I'm literally selling a tube that works that this tube alone is worth $200 in this set because it can go into like an eight zero four five Q So if you find one of those with a busted Tube or a missing color you can buy that for cheap and swap in this tube and you'll have to do a yoke swap but Think about that. So anyway, ten dollars raffle you get a raffle ticket and I Hoping that I can have like 20 entrance, okay Just to basically cover my time and the cost I have associated with that thing I'm hoping to I'm hoping to have 20 people Want to take that lovely thing home, but that's one of the CRTs and I'm gonna have Let me look at the list. I'll have four other CRTs at the show Then I'm gonna have for sale and those are all gonna be consumer CRTs They're all gonna be priced under three hundred dollars. They've all been serviced and So that's gonna be a lot of fun And I say three hundred dollars. They're all gonna be well under three most of them are gonna be under two hundred dollars Not even two hundred dollars, you know, so it's gonna be fun. No no shipping This is gonna be just for the show. So if you're gonna be able to be at The music city multi-con you can come see my amazing once a year live performance You know, I'd I'd equate the thing about to a techie version of oh I don't know the the old Gallagher show or something, you know, I mean, I'm not that funny or anything Yes ten dollars for anybody this is a this is an opportunity for somebody to just go home with a cool piece of hardware for $10 it's not that big this big and hey, maybe that's something eventually I could offer To the rest of the community sometime is a raffle like that. We'll see how this live raffle goes because I'm really excited about that and Anyway, I hope to see some people there. I hope that if you go there, you'll say hey, I saw this stream, but That's uh, well, we'll just have to see we'll have to see all that goes anyway That's what I wanted to talk about first off. Let's check back on Cole. Oh, he's passed out He's passed out. Okay, Tristan's game room. You got something Steve talks. There you go. I don't know. Look if you've got if you imported a pvm 1440 you need to check the power supply because if that's an imported one it may not be it may not be a A Compatible one with our voltage here. Yes, Cole is great Hey zero sleep this con is at Nashville, Tennessee and It's pretty cheap to go to if you're anywhere near that. It's not actually in Nashville. It's right outside There are still like discounted rooms available at the nearby hotels Which are not attached to this convention hall So it's wherever whatever hotel you're staying at they're all gonna be like not that Fantastic like the best is almost like a holiday in style thing. So they're uh, You know anywhere from $70 up to like 160 I think was the highest end room still available and That is a dog. He's sleeping He's black And he's sleeping and his name is Cole and it just felt like a lump of coal But yeah, he's out. He's a pug and I'm surprised he's not snoring He usually is snoring so that's where it's gonna be again. I hope to see some friends there and What we can do now is get ready We can get ready and get ready for our main topic so that was it kind of a good introduction that actually went way quicker Than I thought so you'll have a chance there folks $10 CRT $10 PVM working in person Anyway, thank you all again for showing up today I'm gonna put a timestamp of about 14 minutes right here for this Main topic on today's show which is The impossible PVM the impossible to service PVM. Ah Belmont, thanks for coming by So welcome into the show today It's again, we're talking about the impossible PVM the Sony PVM 20 L 5 and While it is a wonderful CRT. It does have one Gigantic problem with it that is kind of interesting because it was not much of a problem with prior models of the PVM up until the 14 L 5 specifically and Probably L4 if you see one of those Now what is this big problem? All right, cool Belmont. Don't worry about it. Don't don't get into a car wreck trying to Read the chat No problem. It's been great. The chat's good. So Let's look at now I just blew it I hit the wrong buttons all the time on the show. I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention Let's get over here and look at the file for the impossible PVM and What what is again making this one so impossible? I think you could tell from my Flyer or my sheet I have my calling my flyer my thumbnail Just look at the back of this PVM. So not only are they impossibly hard to find and Unless you want to shell out a bunch of money It's Impossibly difficult. It's not impossible, but it's a difficult. It looks like it's an impossible task to get in here in service This PVM right and what I have In front of you, right is a list First off, this is a list of a PVM parts repair kit That came from mr. Save on Pat and this was one that the client bought years ago Put in to an envelope or box never got around to doing the job themselves and then commissioned me to do it and I Want to show you why this one particularly? Is I call the impossible one because it's it's definitely a high-level one. It's taken me a lot a Lot of time and a lot of experience working on these things to really figure out Basically the best way to work around here, so we're going to roll through first off We're going to roll through some photographs here of this said PVM 20. Oh five and I want we're going to walk through the the claustrophobic kind of mess that this one is and With this parts kit a lot of the issues and And half the kit a lot of these issues come from the main board down here Which in the photograph is down in this section buried under everything pretty dense exactly Robert Good good way to explain good way to describe it, so we're going to go back here to the beginning Let's go back to the beginning. I literally just have been working on this the last two days and Oh, this is The 20 see the thing about the 25 30 is also a terrible mess because We'll talk about that the next time I actually have to work on one of those So there's the dog in the background sleeping still sleeping. Let's see what he's doing now. Sorry. Oh There he is. He's kind of snoring you might hear him Okay So this is how it came to me it works The PVM 25 30 though does have its own pain in the neck problems But I feel like people can get around in there so We're looking at the 20 oh five. This is the starting condition This is a picture of the overall geometry to begin with Looks like we do have a bit of a screen lean, right? It's a little bit leaning but that can be Possibly stuck with how the tube is lined up. We've got a magnetism issue in this corner Yeah Well pets you can see this pretty good as I zoom in say we have our red gun bleeding out Over here in this corner and if we look like even closer down into this zone just down inside our red area It's not it's it disappears by about this point. I mean it shines through a little bit See how it shines through up here in this edge Barely you can see it but she can it's definitely pronounced and this may just need a convergence strip in that corner So we can do that. I Have not done that yet or anything But that's how it looks right now and again, this is the density and What it kind of looked like because if it's not it was actually quite clean This bar tends to be broken every time and I took a photograph of it because it was broken in this section right here see that That's the deflection card That is hanging on the side right here That's the deflection card and then there's a separate board on the backside and all it has is two big inductors on it and That's attached to this plate this plastic plate or arm and that always breaks So it wasn't completely broken, but it was broken There's another picture that break in that plastic and what happens is this gets brittle over time Now another spot that always breaks is inside here. You can see right at this point There's a piece of plastic and arm It's a little bit difficult to see but it's it's attached normally to this Ring around the neck of the tube and it's broken free right there It's just a brace, but that's always broken also So when you when you get in here, it's and then this is such a cluster you have to either have done this So many times that you know where all this stuff goes Or you should do what I've done here Which I've even done this job a ton and I still came through and this is part of the job documenting So here's some more photographs of our deflection board. There's a daughter board that hangs out here. I Will point out one thing This is well, this is our neckboard and I want you to see down here. See how this bracket is like hanging It's just again a support. It's broken I want you to also look at yeah, let's see and that doesn't look too bad. Okay I'm just checking out that solder Here's our input board. I just wanted to take photographs of everything how it looked to begin with Now if we look at this is an interesting thing, I've not talked to you about This is the label inside of your PVM and it's on the shielding. You notice Whoops Get out of there You notice it's right next to the anode cap right here. It's on that shielding and this says your PVM model and then the serial number for it the manufacturing date and What you really should be concerned right with is this see how it says 20 L5 and then slash three So Sony went and made four different revisions of This L5 that I'm aware of The fourth being the latest which is around 2004 or five This is pretty late in the game since it's o3. It's a Number three and anyway the parts and this are going to be the third revision So they vary between revisions You'll get in here and they'll have different buildouts and some things aren't compatible So you need to make sure that you're not swapping parts from a three into a two without knowing if the part is going to work It's a little bit trickier about this that makes it another harder impossible thing to Just service Now if we look down at this Photograph it's really just a picture of the inside of the tube. I get questions a lot about purity magnets. That's a purity magnet That's a factory installed purity magnet right there and With that fact what that does is it just balances the purity on the back of your Tube or the front of your tube picture wise But it's on the back there So this is also a cluster this is look at this. This is the board that Is on the other side opposite of that deflection board? It's got the card slot which you're looking down upon and then it's just got miles of cables going everywhere Here's the power button right here and You know this this is a weak point on this see how it's plastic and it extends out this way that breaks Sometimes it's why you shouldn't really ship this monitor ever Unless you're shipping it like freight or air or something But even in air I've seen a break. So let's check in with our boy Cole How's everybody doing out there? Hope everybody's Staying with it. It's been a Again a fun little Roll here through this monitor if you just joined me now We're looking at the inside of a sony pvm 20. Oh five We're reviewing just how it looks going through some of the complexity of this monitor Just in case you ever wanted to know what it looked like on the inside and Yeah, if it breaks Let's say this arm broke what you have to do is you come in here you disconnect the switch and You pull this whole J board out. It's secured by just a Phillips head screw on each side of the switch right here and Then you can pull that out and pull the board out or pull the board out and you can get to the arm also from The front side if you need to get that out you can remove the bezel so Yeah, it's but this is kind of the way this is built. So something like that happens It's not a big deal The problem really is when you have to get in there and get in behind these other boards and get to the main board So I take a picture down here to show you this is how the board It's kind of an awkward board, but it's secured by these two screws down here on the bottom Level of the pvm at the shell level you have to remove those screws. That's how That bay looks and that's where you insert a card like the ones we've talked about before Hey, race, how's it going and quick box kwk box? Well, I don't know you should probably Check inside make sure it's not just a dirty mess And if it is blow it out with some condensed air if if it's working Delivering pizza as always. Hey, Jesse Glenn Awesome. All right guys do me a favor. I'm gonna give you my little spiel here Please if you haven't already do click the like button for me Matt everything was so awesome on the last show You guys really blew it out of the park. I mean I had over 2,500 views at the end of like two days and then 250 plus likes I can't believe it So thank you so much for always clicking the like button And if you're here and haven't done so already and are able to do so please do that for me and Every time you do that it does equate to 10 New views on average for the show and that's really helpful. It's more than anything I can do really the only thing I figured out that I can do is ask for that on an Recurring basis, so Sorry about always doing that what we're doing here is I've got this is how you get started. This is like the starting point I know right it's well Robert. I don't know why they did this I'm sure that it's something where they're like. Oh, well this it's like a revision where they do an improvement on the product and Then another improvement a little bit of changing something Yeah, the zap bread and you're probably right. Thank you Michael Yeah, the last show did have a couple anode cap zaps or anode zaps from the CRT tube, so that's definitely a first and probably Probably helped that show grow to the way it did so thank you anybody who comes in here always though So the first thing I've done is just remove this neck board and I want you to notice See those arms those braces. I was telling you about how they've both broken free right there Now I just pulled that off Slowly pulling back and setting it aside for the time being Then I'll remove that but I wanted to also photograph this cluster of cables Right there and then I remove the neck board Okay, and I think I hope I have a better photograph of this But the everything is pretty self-explanatory on how to disconnect Except for this portion right here, which I hope I have a better picture of Otherwise I may not There we go this Like all these are easy to disconnect. They're pretty standard But you have to disconnect this part which there's a tab on each side. You can see it really good right here, which is too Low and there we go. See how that has that hook tab right there Right next to my cursor right there. That's That's how that snaps into place So you have to push there's one on each side and you push them together and you pull up and that'll pop out and that's how you get started as you get that out of the way and Then you have to start going in here and strategically moving You just strategically start moving these cables after that point First one is this on the deflection card. It stretches all the way from this board over Yeah, my wife make him home. So let me warn her if she does come home that I'm doing a show here All right, so you look in here once you get that neck board off and you got to start to disconnect this cables That's just being documented because every time I remove something I don't want to forget what I removed but then you go in and you remove remove those screws I told you about down here. You just remove those this slides back It's got two port portions on the frame that it's it connects to there's no Screws or anything you pull them back and up and then you just remove move this out of the way and Then you can get to that main board But that's really what's difficult here is getting into the back and Getting that main board out which I kept you could see I kept the input board with it and Everything but you know these cables they stretch in there you have to remove all those cabling and This tube was a bit dirty you can see right there. There's some good nastism right there Cole is snoring away So he's happy he's happy Cole happy sonori Cole look at him So there's that The anode cap see I move that over to the side because you're not really doing anything with this bundle This isn't part of the servicing kit Now I don't want to remove all the cabling This is the most plugged in thing on this board So I set it out of the side and I brace it See how I braced it with the input board there and That way I don't have to remove all the cabling And then there's the main board But you see there's all these connection points all these are populated when you're when you're removing it So you have one not one of the not this one isn't one two three four five six seven eight nine Ten and there's two more eleven There's one facing a different direction. You can't see twelve and then there's like three or four more back here There's like sixteen connection points. Ah man Delusional seriously. We only got 13 likes I don't know though the light button thing has been kind of crazy if it's on the phone So if you're watching on the phone, I know it's not as exciting folks as me zapping myself, right? You're looking at now. This is The rest of this is going to be the pictures of me servicing this. Okay. These are the capacitors I removed from the kit This is each spot. This is a targeted kit So first I remove those capacitors. Look at that. How'd you like to remove that? Chinese thing from that this one's always fun to get in and out of there 48 likes. That's better. Thank you Curtis I figured 55. Oh You guys are awesome nevermind All right, cool. I Was like there's no way it's only like 15 But sometimes you get on there and YouTube will show it to you funny. I've noticed recently on the On the app oh Cole snoring away So if you get in here now now this is the One of the hotter zones One of these caps was not part of pets kit actually two of them weren't but I decided to change them too because they were looking pretty rough This one C6 24 and C6 19 alright, so What the crazy thing is though to think about I know not now because now most of these components In our modern times still have like a good 10 plus years of life left on them but Imagine the point when we're like 10 or 15 years from now when we're having a re-service a lot of these and Pretty much replace all the caps. Oh Wow, that's gonna be a Nightmare so these are these are the caps that were removed from this board think about it You got to do all that work To get it out and to replace these caps now. They are the most pain in the neck Caps to get to I showed you the spots where they were located one is located down in that crevice right there. You saw that So I take a picture of every single capacitor that I replaced. This was the same section Where I replaced those four? Because we only replaced 10 of them that Slip that little beggar down in there It's a tight little fit, you know Tight like that virgin on prom night. Sorry. That's a little dirty Here's the big cap stuck in there. I went for an upgraded part there according to Pat So the thick wide-boy jammed in that spot. This was one that was replaced 1603 And the client will get this whole readout. We'll get all these pictures So they know exactly what I've done, right? I wish you could go into like an auto an auto Repair shop and they would give you Stuff like this where they did service to your vehicle and they give you like a pictures like this. That'd be so cool Yeah, here's a couple more that were replaced around this connector Very tight squeeze a lot of these are in the tightest spots. They're not even the big ones that you can just get to They're all the tight ones But we make it look like it's New that's my my goal is to Make it look fresh and clean and leave nothing behind. This is now we're looking at the neckboard and This is a resistor that's part of the kit. So if you have a problem With your PVM and you have an L5 and it's having like power issues always check this resistor It's our 705 on your net board It's it's a fail thing. It's it's like it acts like a fuse and It will blow out in a protection method to prevent other damaging things from happening to the monitor So it can blow out if the monitor goes into a fail-safe mode or does something wrong or sends voltage So there's a better look at the inside of that net board. See how those connectors go in that slot Everything else just lines up in there. It's pretty easy plug-in and slip out And that's after it's been serviced nothing really to do with these capacitors right now. Oh Really at the dealership interesting. Hey ever Everts. How you doing? Devon, thank you for coming There's a bottom side of that board. Where's our 705 there it is over there. So it's not populated yet So I've just removed it and cleaned it. There they go. There's the new there's the bad There it is installed Shiny it's better than my phone could pick up you could see this one though That looks like you could but you can't really tell except for that It's got a little bit newer polish on it that it's different than factory Hey negator welcome in. Oh, everybody's doing fabulous Thursday. Think about it. So awesome. We're one day away from the weekend We're looking at this amazing PVM I'm excited. I get to go to another home football game college football game this weekend and always excites me Maybe this time I can prevent myself from Cheering too loudly and pissing off my whole family and the section. Oh, man, I can be a real agitator So this is a bigger part than The position that you have to put it in so you can either crimp it the way it's done there It's fine to bend it in a fashion like that and install it as long as it's not shorting out against anything or in Risk of that which that is not That's the service board. It's been cleaned up and Oh Congratulations shadow mask. It's always awesome to get paid and Hey demo Kirby, what's up? Here's our big one the dboard now the good thing about the dboard is it's really easy to get to if you have a deflection problem And you just want to service the dboard you can pretty much get that out without taking the whole monitor part on there You can get to it by just Opening it up disconnecting the cables. There's a couple screws holding it into place and you pull it out and You can service it and then put it back in now what I will tell you is a pain in the neck are the daughter board the daughter board Sometimes it gets like so hardened over the years that I can never get I can't have the time get it out of its spot on the main board because you have to actually remove capacitors on this one and If you look down here, there's these clips and there's three poor put three parts where This is connected three different connections similar to what you see right here where it says this this and this and I believe That's probably coinciding with what you each one of those more than likely So to get that out you have to pull these clasps back because there's a hook on them that hooks into the card Pull it back pull it back pull it back three of them simultaneously and try to pull that card out Well, sometimes it's just stuck in there from the Whatever the heck they've put in there Sony flux whatever it was when they were building these things So most of the time I just have to work with it in the holder, which is incredibly difficult You have to be extremely gentle to be able to get those capacitors out On this board. There's four of them on the daughter court card that needs to be removed right there But you have to be a really skilled person to get those out while it's still stuck in there And I'm not trying to brag I just had to do it and that meant I used I didn't just use my FR 301 I've been using solder wick Okay What's up? Cause of all all screen tilts causing me a little safe little staff Thank you for coming but these pictures are showing after I've installed the new capacitors there On that daughter card The D1 card And that's the backside look at that So you have to get in behind all these parts without burning everything and damaging anything and get those caps out 1537 1531 1536 and 1509 right there And I did clean that better. It's just got a bad picture right there. Sometimes these pictures get funny. Ah, yeah See Well There you go. That looks better. It's hard to focus The focus the light so the daughter card has been done. It doesn't get every cap removed Now 90% of the caps on this board get removed and then I go through and check these But if you notice these capacitors that are staying are huge first off they're high Voltage, but they're very low capacitance like low 22 and 33 micro farads They're generally on Low low low on the esr meter. Hey snuffer snuffer welcome in ah Did you get that I actually oh my gosh what well, um Everett was talking about he had approached me about fixing the pins that had pulled out of a tube I actually we were talking with del who's a moderator delusionals arcade He uh him and another guy mike from a another youtuber work on arcade monitors And he was able to Fix a pin and get it to reattach to a tube So we need to figure that out because bob had the same problem when he was on the stream with me on one of the Bunkers a few weeks ago Any of these chips? I doubt it. I bet these chips are not available You know jesse if everybody dressed their kids up like a d-series people would like why did you dress your setup like a microwave? Oh No one would think it was a crt except for like a super nerd, which would be cool Hey pesadillo pesadillo. I'm sorry. I probably get that wrong every time You're having component input interference using composite. I don't know. I've never really heard of that I'm concerned with l2 possibly needing some servicing coming up and probably simply showing up some more um Issues as time goes on So we're getting to that age folks where that that monitors getting some age on there. Hey creeper. Thank you for coming in Uh, we're getting some age on that monitor Uh, so this l2s are going to start probably showing some weird issues like the other monitors did there may be some service bulletin about that too Well, welcome in if this is your first live stream. Thank you very much for coming. I love it when I hear that there's new people uh First live look at that kb. Thank you. This is great So people are always like, how's the stream going? How's the new show going people in the inside? There are other youtubers that are in the retro community. They're like, how's this live stream show going? and I was telling I was like, it's going pretty darn good I mean, I'm enjoying it a little saff. Thank you Yeah, probably buried bits Really? Yeah, maybe Most of these chips though are not available. That's why we keep that's why I keep uh dead boards and salvaged boards from busted pvms Busted pvms. I keep them so that if there is a chip issue where We'll be there, you know, we'll be safe for a while, but I don't know what's going to happen after, you know another 20 years So let's continue on. Where was I? Where was I? Where was I? Let's see. I think we were down here I don't know why it popped out like that. Maybe that's all the pictures I took. No I can't remember. I thought we had just looked at maybe this picture and I moved um For the dog. He's still here. Oh, he's moving There you can tell he's real He's not a puppet He's not some stuffed animal Go See he's right there Oh good boy. Yeah, he's impossible to see I'm afraid I'm gonna trip over him when I'm walking around at night in the house Ah, yes Now that is probably your problem Pesadillo it is it that can definitely add interference is a power supply Absolutely test them individually with other things always test your cables and stuff first and don't think it's your crt What's up crt's forever? all right So the power supply gets or not the power supply the deflection card Here's a close look at again tight squeezes on a lot of these capacitors But I do document all my work for another reason if somebody comes in and claims I I didn't do something right I want to make sure that I'm I'm safe There's another fun spot I'm getting these caps out without removing the daughter card But you got to do what you got to do. This is how the board looks after I removed them Sony does not do a great job of cleaning these but they did they did pass an inspection stamp right there Anyway, I've spent a lot of time cleaning that board. Here's all those caps I removed Or we'll tell you too. This one is going to be um, this board You really do need to use a method of reflow in the solder And turning those tools down to as low of a temperatures you can use them at kind of like my soldering iron I generally keep when I'm working on this at about 650 Fahrenheit and then on my fr 301. I'm using it on the very lowest setting and It will help if you can flow that fresh solder in there and wiggle use your solder Tip to wiggle those component legs a little bit get them broken free from there while it's all molten And that way You can get those out easier. That's why you see when I when I do this there will be some caps that have Some excessive solder on them There's the dboard back Um Cleaned it up. You could tell it's a lot cleaner. There we go. That's a good picture reflowed solder on these major components Here's the caps There's one There's one there's one It's hard to find. That's why I like it. I like to make my work like that like hard to find that I actually did it Uh Reflowed these and clean these up. They look pretty nasty these uh q 25 12 and 25 14 I would recommend going in there reflow in those There's some more caps replaced right there cluster three of those And I will go in sometimes and replace more than I'm supposed to on the list. I mean, I found uh three or four extras from Going through and doing my qc checks Okay Yeah, I don't like I don't want to have uh, but also I provide this to the customer because I want them to feel like They're getting a good value as part of my work, but also Um, they can go take this information and if they decide to sell this expensive crt They'll be able to show that it's been documented right heat wiggle and suck Oh, yeah, that sounds like a dirty, uh A dirty like 80s album From like motley crew or something Heat wiggle and suck All right Enough of me losing it there for a second And we have new caps installed Nothing really incredible to show here just again just It's another thing too. You can come in and you say, oh, I want to make sure that I installed everything correctly. There's reinsertion reinstallation Of that card I did take out that piece of plastic that was broken I Have you seen I wish I could show it, but I know I couldn't but have you seen uh I don't know. I'm calling events neil now like when he he does When he does this show he might as well be saying heat wiggle and suck because you know And you're like what All right, there's the reinstalled card. There's the finished up. That's the last picture And so that's it. That's all the photographs I have right now I don't know. I mean I I've got You know I've got to see the crt right here. Um, let's see. There it is It's been running this whole time It's kind of like the test run a couple hours. It's been running here uh So I'll try to not bump the table because it is on that's the tripod that's holding The camera that's angled over there and I'm going to turn that backlight out. I don't think that's helping any Good ever. Let me know it goes You're pretty send me messages while you're doing that Yeah Pictures do a tutorial. Yeah. I'm coming on and talk about it too afterwards So that's uh, that's oh there it goes flashy flashy flashy. See sometimes when it strobes, it just doesn't work on the camera So this is again, um after all that work. It's been working perfectly. Thank goodness. It's always stressful You know when you do that, uh, but I don't know what else to do about it I don't know how else to do it except that way Uh, but it's working perfectly. The next thing I need to do is go in and do some finishing touches Let's take a look at the I don't think that there should be really any change and actually I'm using component mode I don't think that there should be any change on the 240p test suite how it looks really as far as Um, this this was a really good condition one, but as far as things like that screen Uh, it's not been adjusted at all And it still has the same look, you know, it's not going to miracle Be a miracle fix usually now it's ready to go in and be adjusted, which I will I will spend some time doing that You know later on today and it'll be finished up but Uh, let's look at some other things Overall it's a good-looking monitor I do have the brightness tuned down just because Just because because because Because that's doesn't you can't turn the brightness all the way up and try to film a crt. It just doesn't work like that. You all know that Let's do that Mode seven, I love There we go. I'll trip you guys out for a minute doing that So that's pretty cool looking thing. I never thought about this So this is one of the things I'm going to incorporate in the middle of my presentation Ha ha ha Unfortunately these don't have an hours counter Devin, so we don't really know but Uh, you know, there's a lot of ways to trick and deceive an hours counter even that looks so cool. Anyway, sorry folks You're getting very sleepy You're getting very dizzy Anyway, that's mode seven. That's the cool crt and that's the entire Really servicing for the hardware on that repair kit. Like that's how it goes and there's one look at the coal cam and That's really just about everything I had planned. I know it was a quick Quick run through on the show today. Um, so if you have anything else we can Oh, yeah There's well a mode not a mode seven. Is it is it called mode seven? sorry Let's go back to that. See Yeah, it is a mode seven test it has On there if you go download download the most up-to-date version And and it should have the test in there So this crt, of course can do everything right just about that any crt can now I don't know why you'd really want to do anything beyond 480p on it now because you're going to do widescreen letterbox on a 4 by 3 but That's up to you. I don't I don't judge people and what they like to do Hey mason Hope you've been well too, buddy. Hope you're doing good. Good to see you, man I missed you at uh retro world expo We had a good time Oh tau is incredible I use the SNES version and the dreamcast versions too and I think that uh I mean, obviously that's just gonna be something on the SNES. I believe the mode seven Let me quick trip me out with that. Let's put something on there that actually shows up good I'm using component mode on here Just because that's the way the monitor was set up and my rgb cables starting to Litch out on me. So they needs to be fixed Here's some mode seven for you Oh folks, I want to say thank you so much for coming today. Please drop a like for me if you have not already Um It's been a really it's really a treat every time I get to a service one of these I didn't really want to make a video if you've gone to my channel You can see that I've got this like marathon up there For about a year or so. Maybe maybe two years now uh of like How many videos I've made on the 20 l 5 and I don't even know if that's all of them technically uh but But thank you. Thank you all for showing up today. Thank you all for dropping the likes. Thank you all for everything you do And yeah, if you do have so if you have issues, there's also parts to this kit that If you have a serious issue with the pvm you can try these repair kits because it does have a I see which is an integrated circuit tda 61 20 q And then so some of the transistors are available So there's a transistor on the main board that that can pop And then there's one on the neck board that can pop and I see And thankfully pat knows how to get a couple of those and that's why that's why his kit's important because he can still get those Chips and maybe that's what he's doing is finding them on holly express I just don't know Oh, I see There's no first stuff for I see You can't I can't make it look as good through my $90 streaming camera It kind of you know, I mean I can kind of make it look good Like this is about as good as I could make it look on a stream What do you guys think? I mean, what does that even look good from from that picture? Like when you're watching it on your compressed and I'll like look at it right there. See how it like mores Screen out Yeah All right, well Folks Cole's still here But he needs to get up He needs to go to bed or he needs to get out of bed go for a go for a run or something. Look at him He doesn't need to sleep all day. He's a youngster so We'll let his snore be the good farewell for today. Thank you all for stopping by And if you're just coming in late, you can go back and watch this whole video We pretty much dedicated this whole thing to and an impossibly hard CRT to work through but it can be done And I hope that if somebody's coming along one day They get to watch this before they try to attempt to dive into this thing Maybe this will be good for research for somebody or as always.
