 Hey Tony Thanks for coming in today, man Glad you could be here All right, just finished in getting some last-minute Stuff set here Let me know how my audio is. How does everything sound look? Is everything all right out there and YouTube live land Wow, I uh So I was sitting here, and I had the sketch the stream scheduled for Pretty much right after what I thought Would be the time frame that the pixel FX kind of YouTube Promotional thing just just went down and I Don't know if anybody's in here. Just seen that I'd like to see if anybody has any kind of reaction to that Oh It's The beginning. Oh, man the beginning I was waiting for it to come. I thought it was gonna be funny and I Should probably wait to have this conversation with Zez Since he literally ran a comedy company and still does comedy Work professionally on what his opinions are on it Because I think a lot of it kind of fell flat and came off You know the problem is you get if you try to be funny you got to be funny. I think so anyway great-looking products though So today you're looking at first off. That's the Sony 1340 from yesterday's live stream and I had a lot of people come in today yesterday's live stream and look this is the Third live stream I've done this week. So I'm sure there are people that are tired of seeing me So I appreciate anybody who's here today With me live. I really do Thank you for coming in and being here and joining us and if you don't mind I know it's gonna be a struggle for a lot of people to get notified when I stream this much in the week So please if you're able to hit the like button and I kind of go through what we're gonna do Today first off. I also have the not just the the monitor that you see there and the picture right now and It's the again 1340 from yesterday's unboxing that was live and Behind it, which you can barely see is a box. Let me see if I can show you from maybe another view and Box is right behind that lamp on top of that desk. So I will Be opening that box which funny enough That back over here. So you're ready That's going live. Oh, sorry about that. But funny enough that arrived That arrived here yesterday. There's a look at coal down there, too. It's nice sleeping So that arrived here yesterday that box did right as I was finishing up yesterday's stream So that's here now and can be unboxed. It's another eBay one and it is Not as rare as yesterday's one. It's it's a little bit newer. It's pretty much a more common PVM But let's face it Most of these are rare at this point. You can only find them in a certain you can't go find them in any stores or anything So it's not as if we're reaching when I say they're rare and I've also got a Little thing I made right here and let me show you a closer view of this This is a little device that It's a calibration device for this Sony PVM 1340 believe it or not You can insert this little device, which is a homemade Well, it's an input salvage from another monitor monitor and Then you are using a 25 volt 100 Microfarad capacitor to short out a point and it lets you do a horizontal Frequency adjustment and the reason that's important in relevant is because Keith a good friend Keith Rainey Actually had a video that he released a day ago showing exactly this process and if we Depending on how much time we have today. I'd like to go through and Try this what you do is you Use this you insert it in the chassis back here at this point and Then you can spin a potentiometer right in the shadows there And it's it's somewhere in this there it is that blue or yellow one. I can't remember which one of those two It is hey Don honk snuffer-stuffer. Thank you both for coming in and You can stick This mine's a little cleaner than Keith's because I had this salvaged connection part but I could stick this in that connection point in the middle of the screen above that chip and Short that circuit and then you can adjust This potentiometer, I believe it is and when you just that it will it'll look crazy on the screen So hopefully I can do all that if we want to go there and it just depends on how this Now this whole unboxing goes here, so I've got that already and I had a box of some other stuff here, but we can move that out of the way for a second so we're I'm gonna get ready and Do the unboxing probably first yesterday. I They waited about 20 minutes or so before I actually unboxed the monitor and Today, we're just gonna go ahead and do it and also I did say yesterday. I had a new video coming out I do have a new video coming out and but that'll be out I think tomorrow now since I have this video and so many people were There's a lot of other content that's been coming out today, so I'm gonna delay that one day And I thought I'd just stream here because there are gonna be some more Monitor and crt shenanigans in the spacemen because the kids are at camp And it's a Friday I thought it was Thursday when I woke up and then I was like, no, it's Friday so last chance For a good stream before the week is obviously over. Hey race of Ronnie. How you doing? Thanks for coming in and To celebrate the end of this week. We're gonna unbox this So I'm gonna get the monitor box down here set it up and as I do that I'm gonna turn up the jazz for you And folks, I'll be right back and And I'll switch over to the desk view and walla right behind me is this monitor Maybe I could switch spots for it You switch spots on it and our I know it's got to do a little view of me here and here We're gonna do this maybe Switch spots. That's a bit better Let's see. That's perfect. Okay, so as I initially look at this box as it came in It doesn't look bad But it's not double walled So that's not ideal if it was double walled that would be better. Hey the hidden code. Thank you For coming we See that's that's a problem usually is if you don't use a double wall You get more impact crushing on corners and things, but it feels pretty solid. It was definitely not Reused and this is way better than the packing I had shown you in the video Back about two weeks ago Where I unboxed for CRTs and they were some of most of those were a mess It's got my little old timer here. Oh Don't worry about that Cole. All right, let's see Well, it came with a power cable Nicely packaged there. You know good. Look at that standard power cable. Hey James Boone. Thank you for being here Lovely power cable there see Thank you for shopping Of course, it's a recycler This was a recycler. I had been Bargaining back and forth with for a while and they finally just accepted my offer Oh, they kept like they had this priced originally at 450 plus shipping. I know I didn't pay that much for it. Let me see Like in It looks like I paid 411 shipped with tax Haha, nice James great timing. Hey snuffer stuffer Yeah, this is not the free food box. That was the worst one in a while This is nicely done. Let me show you what I'm looking if I lean this forward Interesting thing is they ship this Backside up. So that's pretty good. Most people don't know how to do that And they used just some styrofoam here to stabilize the CRT It looks like there's a big piece of styrofoam at the bottom of the box So I think this has a great chance actually of being absolutely fine The bottom sides here, this is the top side of the CRT I'm just gonna slip it out Thankfully, man. We're good lucky like no no packing peanuts after that after that jump Vegemite sandwich or Marmite, what was it marmite? That's what it said in the video marmite on the box. Let's let's pull this out And I'll show you the PVM I got. All right. The packing is okay You know, you're still leaving a chance No damage because It takes a hard enough drop even in that kind of a packing. There's not enough on the front here not enough bubble wrap Kind of lacking in the bubble wrap There it is on the screen. It looks like a single layer of bubble wrap Scoot it back to there and I'm gonna cut this off I might use just scissors this time Since I have those here and the problem is you get into sections on This CRT packing where I get the front where this tape is there's nothing like I could I'm just rubbing plastic against bezel the There's still a chance. This should be broken. I just don't know This one does not smell good like yesterday yesterday's DVM smell like Shoe leather when I unboxed it this smells like your your Nana's moth balls And like the closet. Oh, it's not smells. They're not so good But that always beats the worst smell which is cigarettes throw that over there And Just smells. Yeah, what do you think Cole stinks doesn't it? Yeah Too bad you guys can't smell through the YouTube You can tell from him though. He smells it back. It's fine. A little baby on our lap here Buttons are good Tube looks fine Buttons good Let's see how the bottom did PC's gosh, I haven't had one that had an animal PC's it would be nasty All right, cool Bottom plastic is intact Something's rolling around in there though. I think no, maybe not All right So what I need to do now is go back over here and let me let me Revolve the camera around we're gonna set this up over there and do some testing Do some testing not a 14m to you. It is a 600 line I had to censor to the 14m to How about that for live TV? I just knocked over my coffee It's a 1354 q. Anyway, I was trying to be bringing in so you could see it and then look Look at me. I just I just spilled all my coffee So that's fine. Thankfully it didn't go into a computer or anything Dogs drinking it. That's probably not a good thing. All right back from behind the veil Bad day to wear my white shoes, too Hey, I Just thought it was funny some weird actually finally happened while we're live Even if it is just a spilled coffee No harm really Behind the curtain is my Laundry Laundry room Wait my white shoes off What did you miss I spilled coffee nothing exciting Okay crisis over Crisis over what I need to do is I need to move make sure I don't blind you move things Around over there Here we go. Okay I'm gonna start moving some things around over there No, it looks like a wacky view right now, and then I'll change the cameras up We'll do some testing on it from this. I've got to get the 1340 off first Okay One more work than I was expecting let's go over here. See how that looks. It's pretty good good things ready here We're gonna take a second get things ready. We're gonna Turn the power on Oh The mess or the magic I'm not sure what that one is. I actually have a whole bout book of them Maybe I'll bring that Show you that in a second. I Have a whole book of those posters All right, let's power it on and see what we got I'll be right over there folks. Let's power it on Let's go all shop view I'll shop you Wasn't supposed to happen see that Something may have broken inside So something may have broken inside Because Did you see what it did when I tried to power it on? It showed the red light and then it just went Like it's not there's something going on at the power block So let's go back over there Before I do I need to change up The settings on that camera a little bit So yeah that it wouldn't power on it started it started skipping a beat So what I need to do is open it up see if I see anything Um Since I paid full price for this I'm gonna have to reach out to the seller If if it's not something simple At all, you know because um Basically what most likely happened is it hit so hard in a in a FedEx ball during shipping that it would have uh Broke something inside which I did hear something rumbling around inside So we're going to take it apart. I'm going to switch this I'm going to zoom this camera out a little bit not this one but the Let me go over here to our Shop cam I need to get this Settings a little bit different on it Just because when you're running, uh, the funny thing is is when you're running There sorry When you're watching a crt you have to put autofocus off on any camera kind of unknown thing But we don't when we're not running it we can Set it back to a little more standard settings And autofocus will help when I'm over there moving it around a lot And I'll move the camera around. Uh, we'll open it up similar to what I did yesterday We're going to open it up and we're going to inspect the inside of it. So I will turn The music up now And thank you everybody who's been showing up. Uh, looks like we might have finally gotten a crappy one here so I wasn't expecting it to be crappy, but it's like I said the single wall box not enough padding Let's see what it's it's the inside secrets that it holds I'm gonna turn the tunes back up And I will be over there just showing you the goods on this. I'm not really seeing anything Sometimes the neckboard can be that loose. Yeah, goodness. This is uh People watching on a pvm. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm not really sure what the heck's going on here Hey koala Um, it doesn't look I didn't see any damage. Maybe it was just moved around. I don't know Uh, let's I'm gonna now I've got it broken out and everything reseeded. Let's uh, let's try to power it on Maybe it'll just we'll get lucky to power on otherwise. We'll need to test the power supply So we can do that too, but I'll have to set reset things a little bit in the studio here to do that Let's just see if we need to do that though So we'll go back over to the shop view I'm gonna get set up to do with power tests No, I haven't discharged it. I haven't even gotten into power on Definitely damaged or something. This is definitely an issue with the power supply. I don't know. Let's see. I'm gonna have to switch over All right. Here's our here's our monitor Right here, and I'm gonna have to lay this out And run tests on it. I just see this kind of rearrange stuff around here to do this safely and correctly Because it's not powering on it's it's Something that sounds like a relays busted. It's not going through it or something. It's Definitely something not right on here in order to do this, right? I have to power it on while it's over here But I just do not power the crt so I can I need to change the view a little. Let me move some things This like this I'm gonna flip the camera See I don't know if it's See on my screen sometimes the usb device looks clear. Okay Now sometimes these cameras can be a little glitchy at least on my end, which is fine if it's not glitching for you What I've got to do is get this power supply a little bit loosened up Then I can do the test There we go. Oh my camera my camera throws up top That's funny Hang on Let's see Oh my goodness Hang on a second Hang on a second for this activate See if it'll activate might not May have just lost my face cam for the rest of the show, but it's not too bad. I don't know what's going on really with it literally just It's not showing up anymore Crazy, but we'll see if it comes back if it decides to come back then maybe we'll be lucky Otherwise for all I know the crt my or this stream may just quit on us. I'm not sure Of course I was laughing with people telling them how good the week had been going yesterday And then now it's like today. He's already been off to a shinati start All right, we're gonna test this now to do this we need to disconnect these cables And Doing this Doing this will Prevent the power from going into the main body of the monitor here. That's where it all comes from I think the power supply gets the wall power it comes through And sends it out these so if I plug in the power supply I can test these pins and see what the voltage is On it with my multimeter. The problem is I don't think I have one of these power supplies if I don't Just to test the monitor in case it you know, but I may have one. I may have one here actually Oh, let's see It's a little bit different build out, but we'll we'll see it might be just compatible Sometimes they had so many different ones of these like I've got What I'm showing and Oh I've got this one which should be the same board pretty much Hopefully it just doesn't have a shielding on it. It's just fine Uh, it doesn't have that shielding plate because this was a different model for some reason. I didn't put it on this one maybe a little older And the connections have moved around a little bit. All right. Well First off, let's see. I don't know about that. I don't have enough time Those movies are so long. I have a hard time sitting through long movies anymore. I feel like such an old man now So g-boards what's our options on g-boards? We got a couple A little pulse. That's the only thing I'm worried about is the horizontal pulse. Is there a horizontal pulse on that? This looks like it's dead there Just hope that horizontal pulse wouldn't hurt the rest of the system I doubt it. All right Just looking at these replacement boards. So I'm going to test this here with my Altimeter, sorry that you guys have just been sitting here listening to me ramble on because my camera decided to die I'm gonna spam caller I'm wondering whether the sony cam is just dead or what because it's not activating at all Oh shoot All right, I guess I should stop screwing with that because Fortunately, I think if I keep screwing with that, I'm gonna lose the whole stream. So Yeah, the power is not working on here. So we're gonna do is I'm gonna put this over in Voltage mode, right? There's some dc voltage We can check here Five volts a and b Oh And then we got 115 volts 15 volts and then we got some voltages down here. We can check And it's going to be hard to actually see that But what I have to do is I have to plug the pvm in and power it on To do this test powering it on Unless this thing was just sent to me Like a bus, so there's four different models of this particular pvm Oh my okay, well, let's get this out of the way four models of this particular pvm. It's a 1354 q so We've got the power into this and um We'll just test this now. Let's show you Come in dc mode That's the ground trend to the middle. So if I make sure that all this is in the view of you Five volts there five volts there The very last one over here is 15 volts 16.94 that's all in spec. So it's not This thing's gotten some crack and something Most likely that it's not see the power supply is testing good so far Well, we should just be able to use the same ground. It's minus 15, which is normally minus 25 I know it says it's supposed to be 15 There's 11 volts dc Whoa Did anybody else see that? Oh, I accidentally touched something I shouldn't have but No harm no foul But that will uh wake you up this morning. So look, uh, I have no idea What got damaged on this thing No idea because the power supply is reading fine and turn it off But yeah guys I don't even have a face view for you here. Look I'm gonna have to switch the camera up and then do this give me one second All right Here's the deal That was fun. Here's the deal I'm not I'm not keeping this and I'm not gonna screw it up anymore right now The the thing I need to do now is file for the return This is not an easy issue something broke on the main board shorted out cracked Uh, it could be the tube could be the neck board I didn't see anything on the neck board, but that's always the possibility Uh, let me make sure that my camera's not still upside down. I don't think it is there we go. Okay So, uh until that I'm gonna put this thing away this particular one because again the tip power Supplies testing fine. So it's not a power issue And it's not an input board issue It's funny So yesterday everything was working I knew I told people on twitter to come check out this video because it wasn't gonna be like yesterday It never is like sometimes it's just bad luck after good luck. So we're gonna file For a return for this one because I bought it under the guys that it, uh powered on So I don't know I know Alex returning and then I don't know what's going on with the main camera here That one usually is solid as a rock never gives me any problems So I think my obs system is just starting to give me trouble today also. So it was an interesting, uh stream here and Hate to leave it there, but until I get this whole system So until I get this whole system straight and back out, I'm probably gonna just shut it down Um, so we'll call it kind of the short stream of the week But we did get it in and you did get to see the unboxing and finally something that didn't work out live Really, did you but you do get to see the finality with that little shock right there? At the end, but it's kind of disappointing um Yeah, I hope the uh The seller doesn't try to like cause a bunch of trouble and complain, but you never know That's why I pay with a credit card All right guys, I'll see you in the next one tomorrow. There will be a video out about uh, something different It's going to be a regular video So check out that and you guys have a great wonderful weekend. I'll see you next time with some more retro content
