 Hey everybody, so today I want to talk a little bit more about what we're going to be doing here on RetroTech in 2020 and this is going to be for March and then I also wanted to talk about what monitors that not only we're going to be repairing and Restoring for the month, but also which ones we're going to be listing for sale and kind of which ones will not be for sale first up You might have already seen the first video on this monitor But this is a 14 N6U and there was again a little bit of a mod video that we did About a week ago. So this one will first off be Completely restored and future-proofed in a couple of videos and we'll also go through and show you how to calibrate this one Because this is not a monitor that I've really covered before So the in-series now will get covered this one does do RGB So that's kind of why I've been waiting to cover this particular Monitor more in-depth, but we're good. I'm going to show you the entire Process of Recapping we're going to do this entire board. We're not going to just do the smaller section of caps like you might have seen in some other PVMs that have been restored or future-proofed this one's we're going to do the full thing because there's not as many Capacitors than this. It's a little bit simpler of a board design but it does have a full on-screen menu and it again it does support composite as video and As well as RGB and then it also does 240p at 480 i resolutions really well so it's got 500 TV lines and Again, we'll do of updated with the full series coming on that one with the restoration and the rebuild process And then at the end of that one I will announce that there will be a sale for that one most likely through eBay and We'll just start off like the others that we have in the past where it's just it's you know probably a hundred dollar auction starting point and then whatever it finishes that is it finishes that but This one will be the first one the 14 and 6 u And then There's another monitor that I've had and I'm getting ready to restore that I've not covered yet at all either and that is a 1943 MD which is the predecessor to like the 53 MD and then like the 20 M2 So this one is going back to the early 90s and this particular monitor You could see on the screen just some of the issues that it has as far as like calibration the color All the colors are there, but they're just not set correctly. They've just drifted out over time The big problem too with this one is there's a lot of Convergence issues on the screen that are going to eventually have to be adjusted as well So after that in 6 u we're going to start on this 43 MD and we'll go through And I'll Recap it. I probably I don't know we'll see if I end up doing an entire recap on this one I know there's a lot of capacitors in this one. So I doubt I'll do a complete 100% recap on it, but we'll see and Then I'm going to show you how to make adjustments on it because this one's an internal Adjustment monitor. There's no service menu on it. So you have to get in and adjust Internally with potentiometers and using a screwdriver in the back. So as I said, it's a 1943 MD it was produced in 1992 so it's a very old monitor and It does support both composite s video RGB and this one does not support component though So that one will come and then the last thing I'm going to talk about is the 20 or five because look a lot of people have Been asking me Hey, is this one going to be for sale? And look, I'm just going to tell you right off the bat. It's not for sale and It won't be for sale But I will be going through and doing some videos in the next couple of months showing you what eventually is Going to be the fate and what's happening with this monitor but I'm not going to be selling it and I just want to say if you get a chance It's really getting more difficult in 2020 now to to find a good multi format Monitor especially a larger one. I've come across quite a few 14 inch like BVMs that are D-series or Even an A-series one but not so many and any of 14 L5s, but not so many 20 inch ones they're really getting harder to get and And There's just not as many of them that are out there that are for sale because a lot of people have gone ahead and gobbled I'm up and are holding on to them, which is fine, but Just know that if you find one you might want and you really want one You might want to just try to get it if it's if it's what you're really wanting It's just getting more difficult to get them but I Hope you can use the information from the L5 series to you know help you get your L series Calibrated and set up perfectly and maybe even future-proofed if you want to go through and order that cap kit I'll be trying to make a cap kit or you know at least some kind of cap Kit or list available to patreons for the end series as well as the 43 MD series then The L5 I Probably not going to provide a complete cap kit for that because again, there's some other parts and I would just for the most part right now say go with save on Pat's kit and I probably won't though be providing a full-on Cap kit for this monitor like I do the other one so That's kind of a little bit of bad news, but it's okay It's not the L series is something that you know the problem with it is the caps are still really good in most of them and their The caps that Sony used inside of them are really high quality especially in this L5 14 or 20 inch L5 so they will last a very long time and It's it's more of an issue of you know are the replacement caps we're putting in them going to be even better than the ones that are already in them So as of right now, I know that I Will I will try to service them on occasion, but I won't probably be Providing the cap kits for this monitor, but that's pretty much going to do it for this issue our episode That's what's going to be happening in March And I will again have some more other videos not just those two monitors But those are going to be the big projects and then again the end 6u 14 inch and then the 1943 MD both of those in March will be available An auction to purchase if you're interested. So thanks again. I'll see you guys next time with some more retro content
