 Hey everybody, welcome back to Retro Tech today. I've got a special short video for you I recently restored yet another 14-inch Sony PVM and this one is quite unique and I do have some good news. I will be actually listing this PVM for sale on eBay and it will be a 10-day auction and I'm going to be starting off the auction price at $99 and then anybody can bid on that if you are in the continental United States of the 48 States of the United States of America, you'll be freed a bit on this. Well, let's just go ahead I'm going to tell you a little bit about this monitor that I had to piece together first off You'll see it behind me on this video. It is a Sony PVM. It's like a 14m 2 and it's more like the medical variant. That's why it's got the white shell Now this one is a 600 TV line high-resolution Trenetron tube It supports 240p and 480i resolutions only and that is analog video It does have a single mono audio speaker that is supported for audio on the monitor You know, it will support multiple inputs and multiple regions So you can get PAL support as well as NTSC and other regions if you look at this particular unit It is very clean. I found one of the cleanest medical 14-inch shells that I could and I used it for this build and there's even some cool little things on this particular Shell that make it unique itself one being the stamp on the back that says property of Miami University That is on the side shell and again, this one is free of pretty much any dings and scuffs and then there's this little metallic Serial plate up here in the upper left-hand corner right here in the middle of the screen It says Miami University and that's also an inventory tag So the monitor is extremely clean as you can tell Now when you're looking at the front down here, there's one thing I want to point out This Sony emblem on the front is a reproduction And I've done a video in the past about these but you could get this reproduction on eBay It is still metal and it's high quality But it is a reproduction and it is applied on there properly So it's not going to come off or if it does come off you can easily put it back on But there's another look at our Miami University tag Again a 600 line TV monitor the medical variant So you're going to have a very nice set of high-quality buttons You do get a service menu on this monitor and all the great features that came with that M series and Let's just take a look here quickly at the back. We've got composite inputs. We've got as video Support we've got component and well as well as RGB with different types of sync support on this monitor There's two switchable inputs. There's a top input, which is in use right now That has an output available and then there's a bottom secondary input right under that that is labeled B So this one has two Inputs for RGB. So those are switchable That's really good because then you could put one to component and then one over to RGB and have it set up for use like that now I want you to notice I'm going to start going into some of the hardware here that are specific for this monitor because I Just use the best hardware that I had available if you notice the when you hit status on this Menu here, it says oe v 1 4 3 now that is a 14 m2 medical variant again That is a but that one's from an Olympus monitor, which is the same thing as the 14 m2 Medical variant, but instead it's an Olympus oe v 1 4 3 The positive thing is that is a later produced Monitor so you're talking after the year 2000 was when that board was actually made And I'm going to let you see some of the calibration screens here. We've got red green blue I like to show the specific Screens of color so you could see that everything's working properly I'll also show off some of the geometry grids and linearity checks, which are important To check out because I did recap this Monitor I recapped the a board which controls the geometry There's about 20 caps in that cap kit and then I recapped the entire power supply unit So you should really have no troubles with any kind of cap leakage or cap problems I went inside as well and clean the boards very well There's also a new tube in this monitor So this one's actually got a replacement tube I took it from a newer monitor that was from the year 2004 that was an L series that was taken out of service very early and For all accounts had extremely low hours much lower than the original tube that was in this shell now what I've got on screen right now is a pattern of just solid white lines and I just wanted to show that I have checked and calibrated the convergence and That's what this little tool is showing you how that is in line With the red green and blue and you've got a pretty tight line there all over the screen I really did take a lot of time and setting the convergence properly at least as best within spec on this Monitor because again, it was a new fresh tube so I was able to get in there and Place the yoke now we'll have full video coming of the details on this whole Restoration, but this is just to show you this monitor in case you're interested in being involved in this auction and you've been looking for a monitor that has no issues and That will last you for a very long time because I can't constantly get people on You know messaging me and emailing me where they're having troubles with eBay sellers They might get a good deal on a monitor, but they end up really getting damaged and shipping Or they don't know how to adjust them and sometimes if you get too damaged in shipping It's not fixable most of you know if you get a lot of damage unless you're really skilled and highly experienced with board and sockets, you know basically with circuit board repair so again, I'm just gonna have some gameplay footage is from the screen and There is a Bundle for this sale it includes a power cable as well as a scart to be and see adapter So you will be able to take this get it out of the box and you'll have a power cable as well as Your be and see adapter right out of the box. You'll be ready to go and start playing right away if you have either any type of those Consoles or anything that you want to hook up to this monitor you can hook up anything that's composite and Anything that has s video as well. It looks great on this monitor So again, I just can't say enough about how good this rebuild came out because again I took the best parts that were compatible with each other and put them all together to make what I feel like is a Perfect 600 line Monitor for a 14 inch RGB monitor that that only supports, you know 240p and 480i. I mean, ideally it would be nice to do this with a 14 l 5 but then you're going to talk about definitely cost and a lot more money So again, the auction will be on eBay and will be a 10-day auction that will be premiering at The same time this move this video will be launched So you'll have a 10 full days from the release date here There will be a link below in the description to go and check out the auction So again, you can go there take a look at the auction put it on your watch list Bit on it share the auction if you know anybody who's looking for a high quality monitor and really want something That's going to be good and lasting because again I can guarantee everybody knows with if you've been with the channel for a while every month or so I put out videos about shipping these monitors So, you know, I know how to ship them so I can guarantee shipment and pickup is also available Now look, this is pretty much a value of over $500 here with all the different parts I use and the caps and the cap replacement the time I have put into this monitor would normally make it well over $500 especially with the cables included but again, I'm going to be starting this auction at $99 now there is going to be packing and shipping Fees that are extra on there that will be detailed in the listing But as far as the price for the starting of the auction, it's going to be $99. So thanks again everyone I really appreciate all the things you've done to help this channel grow to 4,000 Subscribers and it's just been a really fun last 15 months And again, just leave me a comment or question if you have one about this monitor specifically and the link will be below I appreciate everybody again for sharing and liking this video and I'll see you next time with some more retro content
