 Oh yeah, it's Friday, right? So, it's Friday. It's Friday here live in the bunker. What's everybody doing? How are we all on this Friday? Are you ready for some like techno drop beats here? You got DJ Steve up in the top corner mixing the CRT beats here. Welcome, welcome in. How are you all? Remember, this is not my show. This is your show. This is your community, okay? How's everybody doing? Nice, Chris. Welcome in, welcome in. Thank you all for joining me today. I have an exciting Friday episode here. That's right. We got feeling a little hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. Like my mic is a little hot. Let's turn it down a little lot. There we go. All right, so I have a Sony in the bunker. That's right. It's this beautiful Sony KV, the Vega, 20 inch KV20 FS120. In studio, folks. Yes, please, a round of applause. That's it. Anyway, if you like the TV, drop a like because we're gonna tear into it. See what makes it tick. I finally have acquired all the hardware needed to accomplish today's objective, today's objective. And folks, our show today is brought to you by all you wonderful Retro Tech supporters over there on the Retro Tech Patreon. Thank you all, so many wonderful people over there. Help keep this ship floating, or boat floating, or whatever. We're going down the river of happiness here, saving one CRT at a time. And thank you all. Thank you all for joining there. If you want more information on that, you can check out the link in the description of today's live stream. Otherwise, sit back, relax. If you can't do anything else, just drop a like. It will help everybody know we're working on a flat screen. Not a flat screen, LCD. Forget about that. Don't even start with those LCDs, please. All right, this thing has a little bit of a screen jitter. If you watched what I posted on Twitter today, you would know that there was a little jitter on the screen. It's not much. I can't see it from here. Now I have, if the music gets a little too techy, I will change back to jazz, don't worry. But again, it's Friday, so we'll see what happens. All right, so first off, before I get too deep into this CRT, I had a request from a viewer. And that was, let's see, let me make sure up here. Buried bits, thank you Buried Bits. Said Steve, my 14L4 needs some advice. I performed the de-magnetization on the tube, but the purity in the upper right persists. Might be a small magnet required as a fix. Would appreciate any advice used. All right, so use the degausser ready. There's a degauss button on the 14L4, right? So that's gonna be there. Next thing I'd check is make sure that the gauzing coil in the back of it has not shifted at all in that corner. But yes, you can pull up a white or red screen, whichever on the 240P test suite shows the most color, impurity on it, and go behind there and drop a magnet, a tiny disc magnet. So that's my advice to you, friend. You can try to add a little magnet. Just hold it back there and move it around. Make sure it doesn't interfere with anything else. Okay, all right, let's get into it. Let's get into it, everybody. So again, we have this lovely CRT here. Who says I don't answer questions sometimes? Right at the hot top of the show. All right. So I've been messing around, poking around. There is a velocity modulation circuit in this TV, which I disengaged apparently just by going through and changing some things in the service menu. So I will show you that information I found over here. Pardon? On the CRT database under this television right here. If you look down, it says disabling velocity modulation. It's pretty simple. And then if you need a copy of the service manual, that is right here, and that tells you when you open that up, oh goodness, changed pages on me. You go to this page, page 19. This tells you how to get into the service mode, which is just pressing display, channel five, volume up, and then power while the TV's turned off. Then it'll pop up in the service mode. This tells you how to move things around, do things with it. Now this is the remote in the picture, but it's not the remote that came with my TV. But that one probably works. I actually have one of those remotes. Smasher Josh, thank you for the super chat. Thank you very much. What's your favorite SCART cable manufacturer? I get mine from RetroKB cables. Gonna get one for the Xbox, just RGB SCART. Not the YPB PR SCART. Well, Smasher Josh, thanks for the 10 pounds. I think that's 10 pounds, right? Or euros, I can't tell. Sorry, my eyesight's getting bad for an old man. So, I mean, you can't go wrong with RetroGaming cables because, well, and let me see here. Let me open a fresh browser and we'll see if we can't find something for ya. Cause I wanna make sure I've got them all right. Sometimes I forget. It's been a while since I've actually ordered some. In the United States, I like to order them from insurrection industries sometimes if you're in the U.S. And then, let's see. RetroGaming cables, of course, which is the one you mentioned. I just wanna make sure I got the names right, right? Okay. Yeah, they're a good one, especially if you're in Europe. I mean, I've bought plenty of their cables too. And I've never had an issue related with them. So, those are great choices right now, I think. Those are the two most likely that I'm gonna look to first. I'm gonna test it right there. So, they got some good stuff here, RetroGaming cables. Plus, you know, you'll get it. So, there you go. I use them. I've used RetroAccess cables too. They're good when you get them. And I think those are the three tops, right? Probably that would make one. I'm trying to, I'm not sure that if there's anybody I'm forgetting, I'm sorry if someone wants to mention it. Thank you, Smasher Josh Thones. Thank you, Buried Bits for the PLN-1199. Absolutely, you're welcome. Thank you for the friendly advice, Steve. You got it. All right, hey, race. Welcome in, Raceroni. Welcome in, CruiseBroom. Welcome in, Elegion Genouic. Sorry, I don't know if I said that right. Steph and C, welcome in. Ronnie S, good to see ya. Your community here, folks. Shannon Rice, welcome McMuffin. Welcome, Lepi. And Mega Cards. And that's everybody caught up here. But this is what we're looking at. This lovely television, lovely, lovely television. So again, guys, every time you guys hit the like button, it does help. It does help, it does help this broadcast kit. Pushed a little further out and it lets everybody know we're live. So last cup of coffee of the morning. It's still morning here, 11.30, where I'm at. But it's still morning. And I've got the studio ready. Nice, Corumbe said, hello, RetroTech. Thank you for putting that Twitter video earlier. I just turned off the lip velocity modulation on my FS120. Good job. Definitely helps. I mean, I think this one looks really good. And I did actually switch it over to movie mode. And then it had a really hot picture still. So I moved it over to movie mode, first off. And then I am using component input here with HD Retrovision Cables. And you know how they have a brightness selection on the side of the cable. It's just selected on the lower brightness. And it really seems to look good like this. Now, again, I can't see the jitters unless I'm looking straight at it, looking way close to the screen. But there's a jitter there. And what I'd like to do is I've let it run here for probably, oh, 30 minutes or so, maybe a little longer. We're gonna get in here. We're gonna turn it around and we're gonna open it up. I'm probably gonna recap it. I got a client who possibly wants to buy it. So I wanna make sure I can get it as good as possible. And I'm always honest, right? So if this thing doesn't, this doesn't work out. If it doesn't work out. Oh, thanks, Master Josh. Yeah, if it doesn't work out, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'll probably sell it at the convention if he doesn't want it after the recapping. But that's what we're gonna do. I think it looks pretty good still. I mean, I might even use it. I don't know. All right. Relax. Relax time. Everybody, remember, if you drop a like, it does help. It helps you. Everybody, remember, if you drop a like, it does help. It helps 10 new people come. Not maybe directly now, but we'll help them know, an algorithm know, to come check out the show. All right. I'm about done with this cup of coffee. I'm gonna get my tools ready. Yeah, they're all over here. Cole's in the studio, snoring away at my feet. So let me move this guy a little bit. Oh, yeah, look at that. We're gonna do it from like that angle. I'm gonna come back there and I'm just gonna tear that sucker apart right there. I think I can even add some extra light in there. Yeah, I got a light here and I got another light down at the bottom. Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready to be energized? What do you think? What do you think we're gonna find today? Are we gonna find a zap on this Friday? Are we gonna get zapped by the anode cap? I don't know. Let's see. No more delays. Time is now. All right. Thankfully, I've got my secondary microphone. How about that? I bet you forgot. No, you couldn't forget. So we're gonna power it down. There we go. Here we go. This has one of those big back sides. Man, it's super deep. Super deep. Hey, thanks for the super chat. HRCP typo. I really appreciate that. $10. Thank you. Just finished my first S-video mod. Thanks for putting out the content that got me interested in this stuff. Well, awesome. I'm glad to hear that. And I'm also happy to hear that hopefully your mod worked out. Thank you so much. And as everybody can see back there, you're looking into my spooky laundry room back there in the background. Hello. Wonderful day it is to be disassembling a CRT. Let me see if I can move this over. No, my cable. Hang on. Ben, get you some side view over here too. Right? It's just good old fashioned unscrewing. Sony was nice enough to put Phillips head screws in here. Of course, I think I've dropped every one of them. Here's what we've got inside of this. I've never opened this one. What if it's we got a smoker? Boy, that could be nasty. I might have to change a bit of plans for a minute. That would be gross. I have to go get the shop vac so I can suck it all up. All right. So if you're coming in late, you've kind of made it to the good part here. We're about to open up this KV120. FS120 for the first time that I've ever opened it. And again, the problem was a slight jitter picture. Slight jittery-ness to the picture. I guess it would be the best way to describe it. I think I've got all the screws out now. I do have one more. Oh yeah, it's about to spring loose on me, folks. So if there's some kind of grim one in here, it's going to get me live on camera. As crusty as ever. 30 years, not 30, but 20 years of dust, everybody. Let's see if I can get you a little closer to that dusty action. Gosh, there's a lot of caps in there, too. Look at that. There's the tube number right here for this flat tube. A51LPT50X, made in Singapore. Orange label US tube. Hey, thank you for the super chat. $5 from Jake. Jake is wee black. You look like you're about to conduct an interview with a neck board. Good to see you're working on consumer sets again. Yeah. Yeah, it's not... I have actually got to work on consumer sets a lot coming up. I have three large ones upstairs that are next on the list, and I've got to get all of them done. Looky here. We have a wedge that's fallen out. That was up in here somewhere. Right there is where it used to be. It's definitely had a smoker in it, because it's got like soot on it. Gross. All right, so I don't want to blow all this all over the place. I am going to go get, folks. I'm going to get my amazing shop back, but it's upstairs, I believe, to get this out. I don't know what else might get the job done. See that sucker? Get that stuff right there. Usually I would open this on the outside of the house. What else I can do? Just sacrifice a swiffer. All right, folks, please remember, always be safe in the back of the CRT, but always drop a like for your CRT repairman in case he's live streaming and he gets himself shocked, and he needs somebody to help. Just joking. All right. Wow, this thing is nasty. Well, you know, maybe we can get it out without having to worry about, without having to worry about it cleaning it up. I can probably take this out and get the neck board off, get all the boards out, and then I can take maybe the tube and the case down there with all the soot. Hopefully I can take that plastic part and the tube and speakers. I'll take that outside later and blow it off with the high-power compressed air, but I can take this. Hopefully I can get these boards out. And to do that, we need to... Let's see what happens when you discharge one of these bad boys. All right, I'm getting some tooling ready. I got to find that discharge tool. Oh, yeah, it's somewhere in here. I think I... Oh, okay, all right. Yes, okay. All right, let's see. I hope you're ready to see if the Sony... Sparks are not, right? Hmm? And that what we're trying to figure out today is the Sony Spark are not. And I know we have a lovely-sized audience out here. Can I please get a couple more likes? I need 40. 40 at least to discharge. 40 ounces to freedom. Come on, folks. That's only four more likes. Maybe I'll shock myself. Probably running no smart, maybe. All right, well, all I'm waiting for... Ooh, we got one more? Come on, we need three more likes. We've got 38 likes. 38 likes. I'm going to hook up to the back of the tube here. This ground. Right there. Right there. Like for the CRT Wizard so we can get this show run. We're at 44. All right. I had a little bit of a delay, so I appreciate all your participation out there. Now let's do it. All right. All right, let's go. If I can get you closer, since you did better, since you went overhead, over and achieved higher, I will try to bring you a higher experience. Right there. How about that? Cabbage fry. Ooh. How did I do that glitch out? What the heck did I just press? Wait. I swear. This is not... Oh, that's too funny. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Look. Look. I don't know what just happened with that. I didn't discharge it yet. I promise. I don't know what happened. Like, I mean, folks, I'm sorry. I did not discharge it yet. Okay. I don't know what that happened right there. It started glitching like crazy. It hasn't done that in a while. So I might have like bumped a USB cable. That would make sense. Let me see if we go back to it. There it is. Maybe I just got too close and like the... the zapping. Maybe like the energy was coming on and like... It was like about to jump into the camera and discharge to the camera. It was so close. I have no idea. But... Wow. Okay. Let's see what happens. Let's see. Let's come on. Whoo. This is... This is like... Let's go a little bit more of that jazz in here. Dang. I wonder. I wonder if the camera is going to work. Let me see. This is hilarious. Well, since that one almost blew the camera out and it like almost destroyed the entire stream. I'm going to be really like scared now. Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh my goodness. I hope we're at least at 50 likes by now. Golly. This is like... There we go. I think our camera is good. I think our camera is good. Oh, folks. I don't know what to say. Wow. I just want to say, honey, I love you. And I hope you take care of the kids. And I hope whatever man you find to replace me is not into CRTs, okay? You've put up with enough. All right. Let's do it. Of course. It's all for nothing. I got so excited and it's just a Sony. Typical Sony self-discharging. After all that suspense, I'm sorry. However, this thing is just disgusting. Holy moly is it nasty. We are discharged, folks. Discharged indeed. Honorably discharged. Now we can... Oh man, I'm getting the glitch again. I think it's got something to do with me whacking around the microphone, actually. That must be touching the camera or something. Let me see. I'm going to put that down and let that sit. I had to lose the hoodie. I had to get rid of my hoodie. It was going to be warm. All right, let's see. This is officially a first time for me. I'm going to glitch out again. I don't know what's happened, guys. I'm sorry. I do not know. I don't know what happened to the camera again. I'm sorry about that. Yeah. Let's see. Yeah, frozen. Gosh, piece of junk. All right. Let me deactivate that camera and see if we can't get it back online. Let's see. No, we're frozen there. All right. That sucks. That sucks. What's going on with that camera? Hang on. Sorry about that, folks. Dang. Let's see if anything... It's still frozen. Check it out. Guys, I apologize. I have not... I can't believe the camera, like, comes back for like one second. There it is. Maybe it'll stay. There we go. I don't have AT&T. I'll tell you that much. Well, I'll try to keep an eye on it and make sure that I'm not losing my picture anymore. Let's see. Because we're not overdoing the system. It's only a 30fps. No, it says it's 60fps. Maybe that's the issue. I don't know. I did change the settings to 60fps, which may be an issue. Let's see here. Maybe I can drop that down. It is. It's 60. Can't drop it down midstream. Let's hope it hangs in there, though. The thing is, I can't get this darn neckboard to budge. I've disconnected all the cables from it. To push something in there. Mold it to it somehow. I've never seen anything like this. It's like crazy. I can't get the thing to pry the back. I don't want to break the tube neckboard or anything. There's a piece of epoxy down there. I think for some reason somebody put silicone down in the neck socket on this set. I don't know why. Literally. It's crazy. I'll be damned. Somebody literally dropped somebody literally put solder. Or not solder. There's silicone down in inside. So you know how the Sony tubes have that little spacer? All tubes. You generally have a spacer. The spacer is there's dabs of epoxy in there where it's epoxy to the damn back of the tube and to the neck socket. So yeah, I'm going to try. That's what I'll try, Jake. I'll try to dribble a little in there. There's no other way. I mean, it's going to break. I might have already... happen, but I think that's just the plastic on the circle ring spacer. This is ridiculous. This has been the biggest pain in the neck so far, this little thing. Right? Thank goodness. It's finally off. Nothing's messed up. Looks like the pins are all good. Release switch. Thank us. Thank us all. Fantastic. The Mr. Room. Check this thing. Board is out. A filthy mess. This is the filthy mess here. Right in front of me. So much for that coffee. Let's see what we have here. That was a fun little 30-minute extraction. My goodness. That took a while. Look at this. Singular board here, basically, with the neck board attached right there. Hopefully, I can remember how to get it back if I can't remember how to get it back together. We'll figure it out somehow in the manual. Double-sided board. A lot like the PBM boards or TV boards. There's a hoof. That's right. You're the most unhinged place you could be on this Friday with me here in the bunker. Let's see. I mean, this is a lot of capacitors. Some of them probably okay. Some of them probably not. What I need to do now is get it cleaned up some. Dirty is all to get out. Let me add myself back up here. Hello, I'm live back with you up here up top. I need to wash this board. So I think what I can do is I could put that towel I had under this and try to blow this and catch most of it in the towel. Under this and sweep it off kind of. This area is all dust. You can definitely see it right there from your view. So maybe I can catch it over here where my right hand is. Thank you all. I know the music's probably been louder than usual, but there was a lot of... I didn't want you to have to listen to nothing while I was doing all that. That's right. We're back in the bunker. And we're using old things like that old paintbrush. That you thought was garbage. Well, you can use it to clean off your dirty old CRT surrogate bowl. Sure, people like... Enough, Steve. We don't want to hear you. It's embarrassing enough. We just want to watch this. And then people are like, what the heck are you watching when they're walking by and they hear the audio? Yes, type one in the chat if you like to listen to this show on mute. This is just tons and tons of capacitors. Of course, it's all one big board. It's got the power stuff going on. We've definitely got deflection going in here. We've got channel tuning. We've got audio, circuitry, all combined. And one solid block of hardware here on one main board with a daughter board attached to it. Again, it's real nasty under there. 1.5. 2. I guess I didn't say 2 then. Maybe that means you like it. Well then, you have earned another chorus or two for you. That's it's right. Having a beer already and it's only 12.20. Some days. Some days. Oh yeah. So I do have one cool thing I'll talk about. Man, you know I went and those of you follow things would have known that Zez, Louis, Zez Aran was in town a couple weeks back and we had a wonderful adventure together. He posted the audio version of a podcast which I shared that we did together the day he left out or the night before he left I guess. So that was a lovely two hour spot to check out. But I have a new episode that I've been working on and I'm almost done with. It'll be ready next week. It'll be ready before the end of this leap year. So before that 29th date it should be released. I don't think it's 27th to 29th somewhere in there. But I want to do it right. It's a special video to me. It's my adventure and Zez's adventure together and what I have recorded. It's 30 minutes. It's fun I think. Should we go by quick? It's not a typical style video because it's got two personalities in it. Right there the whole time. It's fun. Too bad Zez and I are not close geographically. Or we would take the world by storm. This is like... Dusty baby. Yeah I do this full time R&R. That's wise. Some people call me a daddy. Daddy rip off when they ask how much I charge to do this sometimes. First I am the top of my CRT game today. And these days. So I usually get ones that are like hey man I think needs to be fixed and I want it going forever. Or I want to try to fix mine and sometimes I can. Sometimes I've had a good run of fixing things lately. Can't lie. Okay look at that. A thousand times better I can breathe. I can breathe safely. Here we go. Look at this. This looks like some decent stuff here. Now it's still dirty. You can see that. Well that's a lot of shadows maybe. Man this stuff. It's just wild. Our main Aboard. Look at all this. This whole block in here would need to be replaced. In the name of science what are we doing? In the name of science. In the name of what am I doing here? I mean am I nuts? This is a lot of capacitors. Well maybe I am. Let's go for it. I'd like to replace these guys. I bet they're nasty. Skip pen and paper. And we are ripping. We are going full on Steve the Ripper mode. Bet to rip it but into this. Let's get this FR-301 up and running. Gonna get rid of the towel here. There we go that should help a little. This is gonna be awesome. Let's do the awesome bit now. I need a piece of paper. Alright Aboard away here we go. Let's see what we can find out. We can find something out baby. Golly Miss Molly look at the back of this board. This looks like some nasty solder. You know that nasty solder right there. Yeah so here's the deal guys. If you want to make sure that you make it to the show that's probably the only time I'd recommend you've hit the notification bell. So if you do that, I'm not going to tell anybody to do it. I don't even use the notification bell myself. So I don't tell people to normally do something that I don't even do. But if you want to be knowing when the show is live that's the best way because it's been relatively the same time but the days, the days have changed a little bit. I believe that's six on that board. What did I say? Six or eight. Looks like it's six to me. Six. Six 34. C634 is our first removal. Is 25 volts 47. Okay let me get my tray. There we go. Where are those helping hands? Those might be helpful. Going back to that same spot again. This time for the little neighbor. C635. It's a happy little capacitor. 50 volt 4.7. Sticking into my arm with a stupid neck. I have a pretty little capacitor. Thank you for all your years of service. But we do not need your jammie con goodness anymore. Let's see what we have next. Gosh I seriously cannot tell if it's a six or an eight. Okay it's a six. I guess that looks like a frickin eight. C647 let's see what the other side says. Gosh this is like I've never seen anything like this. Crazy close. Thank you. Thank you for the five dollar super chat. Hey Steve there's a massive JVCI art on Facebook marketplace locally for a decent price but it only displays green. That's hard to say my friend. Could be a dead IC on the neck board. Could be a blown tube. Probably not a blown tube but could be. And I don't know about how. I have no idea about the rarity of that. That particular component on that neck board. And I'm not trying to be a jerk but stuff like that. People trying to sell broken stuff like that they should just I mean what else are they going to do with it. Why are they even asking money. You know if you're willing to fix it they're not. I did have somebody ask me if I wanted to trade in for CRT for some service work and I said look I'll do respect. It was just a it was a hard not even it was just a regular Trenetron like not even as good as the one we're working on today and it's doesn't work. That could be garbage. Could cost me money to get rid of it. So I take donations like I say but I wouldn't. Personally I wouldn't pay too much for anything like that. All right there's a 25 volt 47. Okay the problem I'm having is I'm having a hard time reading the numbers in here. Specifically let's hope it focuses. See those little numbers for the capacitors. I can't tell what they're saying. It's hard to see if it's a six or an eight. So I may have to take pictures and then like zoom in once I remove it to make sure I got everything right. I think I'm good on everything I've removed so far but this one looks like it says 842 for some reason this bigger cap. So I'm going to put blank for two right now on my sheet and we'll remove it and see what it is. All right let's see. Voltage are those two huge caps? What's this one? 50 volt 220. And the big caps are filter caps on the power board. I don't normally change those. So you don't tend to go bad. 250 volt 470 Rubicon. All right I can tell from the top of the board thankfully that it is a six. So that's a relief. That would make sense. Excellent. There we go. Let's see where should we go next. How about this cluster of... Gosh these are some weird values that I probably won't have. So maybe we'll pull them test them and if they're good we'll just replay it. We'll put them back in. Okay. I'm going to remove all three of these. These are all JamiCon CrepeCon. Now this isn't IshiCon but these two are JamiJunks. JamiJunks! I probably don't have these capacitors in the shop either. They look odd. Hopefully they're okay but you never know. I apologize. 100 volt 330. That's an odd one. Let's see 618 and 617. Okay. Now check this out. I ordered so much crap from Hakko. They gave me these silly promotional items but I love this one. It's just a pen that Hakko gave me. It's a nice pen and it's got a flashlight tip on it. Isn't that cool? It has the same capacitor right there. I don't know why Hakko doesn't sponsor this show. They should. Chris I've heard people talk about it. I've not really ever done it myself. I mean I use a... I have an interesting power setup here in the shop. Obviously to protect everything. It's got some... I don't even know what the heck the device is called. But it is a giant multi-hundred dollars of hardware. I got from a pawn shop to use... Let's see what this one is. For the power conditioning. But it's not an actual one for... It's like one from an audio studio. Not... That's where it primarily came from. It's used in audio studios. This is 584. Is that right? Okay. This is one I have. Gosh this is gigantic. You want to see something? Look at this. Watch this. Look at this. This is a high quality modern replacement for this guy. So you have this big one. It's a Nishikon 160. It's not even... Look this one's going to be better. Mine's going to be better. Quality. This is 85 degree. Look at my replacement. 160 33. Look at... Just... I mean this is the thing. Like people always ask about size. Look at that size difference. Look how much size has changed in... Look at that. Isn't that awesome? Look how much smaller that is, the new one. More efficient. Awesome. It's a big one. Thankfully this is a common part. So there's plenty of those in the shop. Right. I'm going to keep going. I'm going to move here and then this. Then I'm going to get all these right here. And there's under that heat sink. All the way up to there. And then we'll stop for a second. Not even hitting the right one. It's so hard to tell. Okay. I'm going to go up here. That's this one. 8, 2, 6, 2, 4. Sorry. Let's see what this one says. 6, 2, 4. I got to get some pliers. Good boy, Cole. 160 volt 10. 6, 24. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're getting on the way. I literally just spilled my water. When this heatsink. That's goofy. No. A good thing I'm not going to be powering it on to today. Done matter. I ain't going to hurt it. All right. Spokes. Sorry. I know you're here in the boiler. Here we go now. 5, 8, 0. 50 volt 10. We are done with and listening to the boiler. It's time to clean. Clean the old FR-300. I'm going to hold for a second. 650. Let me see if I can't get this blots down in there. Felt right here. There we go. Back to it. 616. Let's see what falls out of this guy. Now look. If you haven't already, please do us a favor. Hit that like button. Remember, this is our big community here. We need to share the message. See what the results will be of the recapping. C616. Double checking 25 volt. All right. Maybe it'll be easier to pull these down here a little bit more. We are going to go up here. 5, 0 is that what this says? There we go. Let's see. 25, 220. There we go. I didn't even see that one above it. Another 25, 220. Let's see what that cap is. Can't tell from that side. 585. All right. 585. It says they're hard to see. That one's loose. Hey, Koala Koala. Welcome in. The thick of things. Decapping this amazing Sony. I'm going to get this thing out of here. It's going to have a little 10. C632. I think we're about to remove. Let's see. About 16 caps so far. 5047. Got like one more big one in here. And then maybe I can get this thing out. It's going to be tough to get in there where I'm melting that. See. So I kind of need to get rid of this cap to get under that. It's ridiculous. Who's your daddy? I didn't even burn that plastic. It didn't even get hot. Let's see what we've got here. 5470. No, is that an 8 or a 6 stick? Look at that. The plastic and all of it. Didn't burn the plastic at all right there. We've removed 17 capacitors so far. Now I can remove that little knot and get those other two under that heat sink out. Man, that thing. That's what I just popped out. We'll need that for later. Let's see what's hidden under here. See these two caps down in here under this heat sink? Get those two out. I guess. Man, I'll never get that other one back in there. Don't think that those are probably the problem but they could be I guess. What's the numbers on them? I think that one might have been 2.2. Lots and lots and lots. Oh, I got one more back in here. Two more right here next to this. It's a big one. 25 to 20. 2200. Not 2200. 2200. That trace just burned up. This garbage old solder. Let's see what I just did. 50 0.47. Put an asterisk next to that because I'm probably going to have to repair that trace a little bit. It like liquefied. That's gracious. Yeah, I just can't even tell. It's completely gone. It just literally burned right off right there. Looks the same. Looks the same. But it's not. The look right here. The trace runs through there. Son of a bitch. It goes here. It's a very, very tiny trace so it'll be repairable. I just got to figure out where it's going to. I can't believe that. I cannot believe that. That's ridiculous. It's trash bored. This is one of those ones that was made in Mexico that has crappy solder. This is not a surprise but it just literally liquefied and disappeared the trace did. Or the pad. Sorry. There you go folks. Happens to the best of us. That's really disappointing. Jerk. You jerk. You really jerky jerk to surround by that jerky jerk. Next up. There's a five right here. Some of these designs baby. Come on Sony give us some. Give us a break. 520. A little fella. There we go. 5022. 5022. We're still working away. There's one more capacitor under that heat sink. This is just wild to me. It's right next to it also. But it's a 400 which is not a power. I'm not changing that one. I'm not concerned with these. I'm not concerned with the tuning block or the input over here because that's not going to cause us issues. This is what we've got to get to now. I think the 500 ones and they're all over in this area. 50v1. Let's see here we're going after the deflection capacitors in here. Goodness. Goodness. These guys man. These silly capacitors. 562. I think it's more out from under there. There's just like clusters. See them clustered all under in here? Three of them under there. I got to get them out. This is just awful. Like oh man. I'm glad I'm doing this because I hate this kind of garbage. This is not like this kind of crap is not serviceable. This is not designed to be redone basically is what Sony's telling me about putting it like this. Pissed off of this board. Fuck this thing. All right guys. I love you all. We've been going here for a while but this board is pissing me off. It's not easy to work on while I'm trying to stream. I'm going to either screw this board up bad enough to where it's not going to be salvageable because I'm going to burn it or I'm going to break something on the streaming set. So we're done today. Our show's over today. Thank you very much you crappy designed piece of crap. Gosh this thing. This thing. This is things. See this is why folks. This is why like I only work on people like why do you only work on PVMs? People do not pay me enough to work on this. This actually takes longer to fix and service than a PVM. And that is why I'm like look do you think it's worth putting $600 into a consumer CRT? If you do then I'm cool with that. But look at this stuff. This is a pain in the butt. It truly is. So that's what I'm trying to say. It's like not no no no no. Unless you're crazy enough to pay those rates for it and no upfront that's how much it's going to be or more. This is because this is like you've seen me do I mean in two hours. It's not too bad but it is a pain in the neck. It's too big awkward hard to deal with anyway. Sorry guys had fun working with you today. Have a wonderful weekend. Thank you all and I'm gonna try to get this piece of junk back together and blow off some steam. Have a wonderful weekend. I'll see you guys next Monday or Tuesday in the bunker. One of the days we will be back. Have a wonderful weekend. I'll see you.
