 What is up everybody? How are y'all doing today? I'm Glad to be here with you. Yes. It's a wonderful Wednesday. We're here in the bunker and we're about to do some Restoration on a Sony PVM as you see in the title and I want to say this is normally not the day we stream It's Mondays Tuesdays. So this is Wednesday, which is Normally the least viewed day it says according to my analytics for my audience So if you could help me out by dropping a like on the stream I see Jake is here. Thank you Jake and We can get going here in a second. I have some announcements a couple of one big announcement. Hey, DJ gaming I've won very big announcement that I'll get to in a second and a couple things to say here to get things started But man, what a wonderful week it is here. Spring has begun Things are starting to warm up which always makes me feel better It also makes me really want to start cleaning things. So I've been doing a bit of organizing I've been rearranging some things in the shop and I did and I'm still having some issues with the streaming setups. I can't believe it's like 2024 and I'm still having issues With my streaming setup and you'd think I'd know all this stuff by now, but every time every time There's something cursed about this basement and every time We hit about three to five months the whole system Solely in this PC in this streaming bunker area Decides to go haywire and it usually involves a windows update and then the system never comes back online It just blue screens black screens every time you try to restart it or turn it on and never boots up And I generally have to go back and do a full hard reset of windows. That's what I had to do last week and that was on the last couple streams and So Here's some people complaining Ronnie. Sorry still cold there, huh? Zeph core welcome in Robcat. Hey So anyway, I thought I had the system all back together But we realized there was some issues with the background audio. So I've not been able to fix that yet I'm still getting a lot of crackling in my Specifically just the jazz music for the background. So until I figure that out. I'm not going to make everybody's ear hurt I do I thought I had it figured out with the settings, but that wasn't correct because it's still doing it But anyway, since that's happened. I've not been able to figure that out. Everything else seems to be good Hopefully the stream will maintain good Frames and everything and we can still be up up to date But that is that okay. Yeah windows enough said right such an amazing thing. Okay, so as I said, I'm working on a 14m for you I've already done the power supply restoration not much to that. It's a full recap There's a lot of caps on the M series power supplies So you're looking like 18 or 19 capacitors and if you want to do them all there are some very high Number expensive capacitors in that kid. I'll get the old ones so I can show you but There's a lot of these larger capacitors in The M series power supply kit. These are the ones that come out of it. You know, they're like check that out 35 So let me go overhead here They're 35 volts Let's go side by side, maybe we can do that see what happens if I do that and then turn That off there we go You're not gonna be able to there you go. Yeah, cool. Okay. These ruby con 35 volt 4,700 micro farad capacitors There we go in focus finally. Sorry about all that this capacitor is gonna be very expensive. Okay, and then There's three of them in one power supply and there's a couple of other big ones, there's a 25 by 330 Which is another high one and then there's a giant filter cap on there That's a 160 volt by 1000 micro farads. So those capacitors alone on that power supply board are gonna run you a lot Money generally speaking. I mean a couple of those capacitors are gonna cost four three to four dollars a piece And that 160 may cost you six or seven But it gets it all freshened up, it's also got a fresh coat of solder on there been fully cleaned up it's back here and It's in the machine and what I'm actually working on today is this board right here and Many of you who are looking at your screen already know what that is That is a neckboard for this Sony PVM. It's pretty standard for this PVM family and a Sony Neckboard and what we need to do on this is recap this and then reflow all the solder on this board Thankfully, we don't have many caps on this board. We have one on this side and then One more on this side Robcat that's not a bad idea. I just don't know I'd be playing it from my cell phone or I guess my cell phone. I'm not sure right. I mean Let's like it's sitting right here. Let me I'll hit play in a second Maybe we can trouble shoot it together everybody if anybody knows anything about this stuff. If not We'll decide whether it gets too bad because it's it's kind of a disappointment. It's not have it there Hey, hey rollpats, but this is the board. We're working on and I just wanted to say a couple things right before first off man, she poor I want to say sorry and Everything to my buddy volt are I don't know if you've been following on Twitter, but he had a refrigerator line that brought water into his refrigerator Blow up and cause damage to his basement and has a basement dweller here he definitely has compassion from me and So I know it's gonna set him back on some of his projects Specifically that new horse simulator. He was making for Bob but You know, that's just that's just from here at me here right now. You probably hadn't heard anything about that so anyway much love to volt are hope he's doing all right and Man watch out for those refrigerator lines guys. I used to be an insurance agent I still have my license in insurance and when I worked in home insurance You wouldn't believe how many times people would have a little water line go boom right behind the refrigerator and It's just an open line at that point There's no like safety check valve it literally will just run water behind your refrigerator under your floor and If you have stuff under the floor It's gonna come down there and it can be running for hours and put gallons and gallons of water and trigger nothing You wouldn't know it's like having a live hose unless you're down there seeing it hearing it or something So that's what happens. I know this sounds crazy, but I actually Would go and buy the cheaper refrigerators that didn't have any kind of ice maker or Water filter thing in the front anyway, and that way I could save on not buying an expensive refrigerator And also you didn't have to worry about that hosix bloating if you didn't even have a connection You just turn that valve off So yeah, it's like crazy. So yeah, lots of problems with that. Hey everybody. I see a lot more people showing up That's awesome. Thank you all for coming and so much much sympathies there, so let's get in and again, we're gonna look at this Overhead view of our board here. I'm gonna get some of these computer contraptions out of the way and And Everything will go good. Thank you all again. Thank you for hitting the like button every time you hit the like button It does help this show it does help this show It helps me get live viewers in it also helps people who come in and want to watch it on the playback realize it's happened and We're still hitting good numbers on the show, which is awesome and I've been working on two and I have two episodes almost Done on pretty big CRTs guys there It's the Sony KV FS 120 and Also the Sony or no, what's the other one a JVC D series 32 inch? So that's two new Videos coming. I've just got to sit down and actually get time to To work on the video production part But I've got two videos that are coming that are about consumer sets and I think we've already seen the JVC D series I mean we've seen but you guys on the live show have seen both of those CRTs already At least parts of them. This is gonna be like the full episodes the full retro tech Episodes on them, you know, these are two two of the Ones that I probably should put grades on like I did the Toshiba last year So let's check it out. I'm gonna put my headphones on. Let's see how bad this crackling goes It's so soft and simple. You would be like, why are you gonna crackle? All right, I'm gonna let it run there for a second Maybe we'll get lucky You know, maybe we'll get lucky Maybe it'll be like Valentine's Day and that one day the married man of 20 years gets lucky, right? Huh or your birthday? Am I right married guy? Any sympathy out there What do you guys think? Well, let's see Let's just hope and pray because God knows I need to sing my life away when I'm here and Soldering it's kind of just like part of the whole experience from there. It is I've got to get that cleared up. Hopefully it's just not too bad. I do apologize though. So I Hear it. I hear it. It's like a nasty river and Ripley River I will do my best to do Get rid of that before the next stream But I guess the choice is do you want that or like no music and I almost don't want no music. That's just How am I supposed to get any rhythm, you know soldering? This is a secret guys. You don't know this stuff I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to pull back the curtain on this Soldering is all about rhythm. It's just like dancing. It's a dance. It's a dance between you the wand The solder and the board, right? It's a dance You don't want to burn somebody you don't want to step on their toes You got to be soft and gentle There's times when when things really do need to heat up, you know sometimes Sometimes you do have to go that little extra A lot of finesse. All right enough of me just rambling, right? You guys are probably like shut up Steve. Come on We've all heard this We've all heard you ramble before Now if you just if you're just like Getting started I am gonna reflow Just on these points here first we have our Capacitor right here. Let me see if I can zoom in any Well, that's too far Oh too far there's a little Let's see Let's see, baby Okay, we're getting closer. We're getting closer There it is There it is See 713 right there Right there right there Honey you see I'm a rocket man You know Shatner Has a great album from like the early 2000s of all spoken word renditions of tunes I'm a rock it man Rocket man I See you I see you down there and there and there Oh welcome down to The CRT Cabana, baby. We're getting loose. We're getting right. We're getting ready for the main event We're getting ready for that neck reflow. That's right. You all love it We're getting ready to reflow that neck but before we do that, baby, we got to get some Pre-work done we got to get those old capacitors out and today's style is not anything new quite old in fact it is a Demonstration Of solder wick folks. Yeah, I got one loose leg there All right guys one loose leg Let's try to get this other one out without adding more solder to the mix. Oh, there we go Look at those limber legs, baby I haven't seen legs that loose since showgirls, baby. Oh gosh when I was like 12 years old and show much showtime had Our cinemax would play showgirls It was like it was crazy Sorry Here we go 250 40 sit 4.7. There we go finish up the roundup. That's right. It's roundup day Lovely Wednesday for retro I remember when I had When I wasn't even making retro content and I used to just sit around waiting for the roundup There we go. I Mean I can remember being young enough where you'd have to go watch Adult videos on the scrambled channels on cable like you would go out of the range To the dirty channel range spice or something it was called spice And everybody was like green and blue and I had all these lines through them and every occasionally you'd see a boob And you're like holy crap. I just saw a boob And you're like, oh my goodness And it's it did it was just weird. I was like, how was this even on TV? They tried to scramble it All the good old days of analog video Streamed straight to your television box grandma 713 I have to talk If anybody has any ideas about that Crackle fix or if you just pretend like it's my crackly old voice Right. Hey Brian. Welcome. All right. Just recording our value here. It's only one more And it's the opposite side. There we go. Where are you? Oh Knock it off there for me Hey, Mark Ha, I got new issues. No, actually, I just probably should just get on a call with you or something sometime But whoa Let's burn my cable But I have such a backlog right now. I have to just keep working on CRTs. I Have such a backlog No time to stop like I Have eight of them in the shop right now four more on the way I have a bunch of time-based correctors on the way to fix So I've really got to get through that Also just paid my good old taxes this last weekend My good old state and federal Taxes for 2023 and boy ouch Oh, I I can just say I bought the government a very bad cheap We're not bad. I guess a decent used vehicle, right? That's all I could say Hey Jake, thank you Jake with the $10 Super chat Jake is way black. I had a neckboard crack in half was able to pair it with still flickers What would you recommend for fixing the plastic or the cracked PCB? Sorry also Make a video about filming CRTs camera settings angles lightings etc You know Jake, thank you I'm not the biggest expert on filming CRTs really the best person is John Lineman, I think and the secret for most of those Videos is all and a lot of guys tell me this to you know the same thing with like my life in gaming They use a see a certain camera It's like a Panasonic camera And I'll talk about the neckboard here in a second But I know that's the best way. I'll be honest with you other than that My cell phone does the best and it always looks better. It really just depends on there's Certain backgrounds on a CRT will look good certain ones won't But yeah, I could make something talking about that sometime Now There we go. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye 705 As for your question on the broken PCB but oh for the settings So my setting is always to just have the camera that I'm trying to record the actual screen on Set to 60 frames per second okay and You can't really use light in front of the CRT at all. You maybe can angle it from the sides up from the bottom a little bit Most of the time you can come from backlight But otherwise you have to have a good long control over Your backgrounds right I mean you can't have background light. It bounces off everything. It bounces off the glass and impacts your recording And fixing the broken Fixing the broken PCB Okay, I'm gonna upgrade this cap So for that you need to reinforce this board if it's broken and that can be done a couple ways Um, depending on how bad it is But you want to get it kind of solidly back together So one thing that you can do is you could come in and you put super glue Fast drying super glue in there and then you can sprinkle on I've done this before in videos. You don't you sprinkle on some baking soda onto that liquid and it'll immediately harden And then you can kind of clean it off and that's how you kind of piece it back together And also if you need to you can definitely use an epoxy, but I find that to be much messier But I like to apply that kind of thing with a just a toothpick And then go in and um It's never it's never kind of the same. It's just like using techniques to put it together one day. We'll do a put back together of a pcb, but again The retro tech queue calls, right? The customers have requested things lovely things Restorations, that's the best part, right? I need to save other people's stuff before I work on my own things But it's always good to have so much. It's always good to have more things to do than Trying to struggle to figure out things to do Okay, I think that's been one of the beautiful things about the way this whole Community and everything that I've been trying to work towards and have done has been good is that I never run out of Things to work on I'm trying to never run out of things to work on. I always want to have work here I always want to have projects lined up And I'd rather be able to say I missed Doing projects than not knowing a project to work on I'd rather say I couldn't get a project done. I guess or have it on a Have it on the back burner. I guess there's never anything that when you're in retro most of the stuff is not Time sensitive It's not like the modern news If I come out with a review of a crt that that's not going to get A lot of attention Uh one time of the year as opposed to another After something happens, there's nothing like that's going to make that larger um I would I would definitely do that if there's sometimes to Jake if it's real bad you can go in and kind of Uh put bracelets in I mean you can do that also like use the really thick legs off capacitors Just make sure you don't have any way to short them okay She can either add those to grounds and then Maybe put heat shrink tubing on those if you need them Oh that crack crackling in the Audio is driving me crazy This part is very vital This neck board has really solder that breaks down quite easily over time. Look at that Like those are ones. I haven't touched up yet that g1 h1 and ground It's very just thin And you got to go reflow that now. This is good solder. So it just takes a reapplication A lot of times I work on crt's that used lack or used a very bad solder And then I have to go and reflow solder remove solder and then flow new solder in Those are really a pain in the neck like trashy solder A lot of consumer crt's have that Trashy trashy low quality solder. It's either lead free or really light on lead No, I mark. I rarely ever see a man. I don't I have had people been asking me more and more about CRTs that are widescreen And I don't really see them. I don't really have any I have a broken fw 900 I did restore an fw 900 And that was a project that I did and Goodness, I can't even remember It's been almost a year now. I want to say and What's weird jake? I hear it when I like the jazz is playing and if I turn the jazz off it won't do it I don't know. It's something But that that neck This part of the neck is going to be the most vital to reflow But you also got to be careful like I said, it's that dance, right because you don't there's plastic in here uh Right here You don't want to melt this plastic. You can still melt it I mean personally, I don't really Think I need a widescreen crt If if I can't, you know, right, I mean I have some actually I guess I do have some bvm d24s But that's like the only ones right? There's some cool ones that that are very rare. I think economy probably has a bvm That's widescreen But those also are bigger tvs I don't have space to keep like multiple large tvs And uh, yeah, my favorite is Has always been four by three stuff on crts. That's just one of the characteristics that Most of them had and I just like it Like standard. It's all right. It's good to have both. You have a good widescreen and the modern setup and Way easier to find a good high quality four by three crt than generally A great widescreen crt So you got everything over on this area? How's that looking much better, right Yeah, and the weight good call Ronnie those things are so heavy It's very hard to move them This is the busy area up top. That's going to be the secondary area We're going to head up and all right. There we go. That's better. Let's see if I can get that to I wonder if I could zoom in any If I get close to that picture for you guys Not get too grainy looking Let's do a little zoom in here That's a better zoom Let me just remind you that when you do a reflow tend to not want to A lot of these parts won't matter, but you don't want to like do the same Like a two leg part through whole part. You don't want to do The same part back to back on a reflow Like I just did right there. See how I went back to back to the same part Now a lot of them are going to be okay because the parts are bent the legs are bent a direction But sometimes they'll be straight you'll hit it with heat too quickly and that part will just drop right out of the board Because the solder's still molten enough you can do it back to back if you give it a second A couple seconds that you know It's solid again Okay All I gotta do is finish up this connector Don't want to hold that one long either. That's plastic on the other side Got this whole area done now. We can go to the top part And then at the end we're going to install the two capacitors And then we'll do a we'll give this thing a nice bath Trying to find something to set this on let me let me see if I can find it Maybe I can run this camera up a little bit and actually So I just think so much better when I have this kind of easy music hitting me up All right. Yeah, let's get in here. Let's see if we can't do a little better down in here Oh, that's going to be pretty. We're going to zoom in a little closer. See See how much we can get it. Darling show me your secrets Show me your love and secrets Yes, sir smooth my soul Ease me now You could tell the dull from the shiny Right up here is the shiny that we've done now. They're not cleaned Because as I heat them up Flux flows from my core Flux ladies and gentlemen flux flows from my core Well the core of my solder, of course Beautiful Do me a favor drop the like Drop the like hammer if you can Help us Help us grow. How are we doing in there? I don't think any closer down in there If I could get that. Oh, yeah, look at there. Oh, that looks good. I'm gonna go with that one this time Yeah, no one gets to play with their toys Unless your toys are tools and you work on things I guess that isn't that funny how grown men have to call their tools toys because that's the only thing that they They have time to use is Not everybody. I mean, obviously some people have real toys I just bridged that What am I gonna do? No How could you you're supposed to be a professional Dear me What will I ever do now? Can't believe it. I might as well retire Look at that. How will I ever recover? Oh, never mind. Everything's good. I can't believe it. We just saved the day We just repaired my own rip my own screw up. Look You got to celebrate all the milestones in life There we go There we go That's right, brother chris That's what you do Mess things up so you can fix it And instead of like that Whitney Houston song. I think it was waiting to exhale. You're waiting to inhale. You're constantly exhaling You're waiting to inhale Sorry guys. I've been ignoring the chat. I'm trying to burn through this board So I hear some people talking about something so that's cool. Good Excellent to have ideas on Hardware Shared There we go. I'm like a machine Who's here koala? Welcome Just hanging doing some solder soldering here On a neckboard koala fresh off A new write-up for retro rgb Great job Great job You know anybody Can Um, if you have a good idea, yeah, you could go in and bob's very open about Having people contribute ideas especially great things and it's a great write-up about the scalers and I recommend everybody go check it out If you haven't already also featured this week on the Weekly roundup which dropped this morning Oh Yeah, it's better to get it out there Better to get it out there. Just don't leave it for a twitter article There's so much more. It's funny twitter stuff just disappears man. It's like old tweets. They're there, but it's not It's so weird how there's no barely ever any interaction with them It's like a tweet something it gets interaction for a little while and it's just gone so The website is something that's Way better retro rgb. I mean and it's permanently written on there Well, unless you remove it for some reason but searchable findable It's great stuff down the road I will tell you shipping costs discussion looks like being had shipping costs. Goodness gracious shipping costs have gone up Especially for me shipping anything from over here on the east coast out to the west coast the shipping has gone up This year, it's absolutely evident always use you ship if you can Name your own price tool basically Name your own price tool that's something I need to do I need to do a video about that a little bit clearer one on just setting that up What else do I need to do a video on I need to do a video on creating your cap stock That's what I'm probably going to do on a stream. I've been wanting to do that on a stream. What if I just showed you Exactly what to order So you could have a nice little stock of capacitors For your shop or your whatever workspace whatever it is That you may be having or using for crts if you do, you know Whatever really it's a good It's a good stock of caps that'll get you through a lot of Restorations repairs etc But I could show you how to order that how much it will cost I've never had a bad Um Yeah, okay cool cap stock. I've been thinking about that. That's what I wanted To do I was going to go through and I was like, all right. Let's just set up I'll just set up on the screen. We'll go through and um I'll do a side-by-side video where I actually go through and I'll I'll pull up a sheet To order. I heck maybe I can do both websites mouser And digikey. We'll do both of them and then we'll see if there's any price difference We'll try to get the same capacitors on both of them And then we'll see what the price difference is and hopefully it's right on the same But it won't be And then you'll be able to see how many capacitors you need the the cost um So you could have a huge huge cap stock For like a hundred dollars And I mean that would be like enough to keep you for a while and then you could go through and just monitor what's been used Add back to it, but you're going to get so many parts with that hundred dollars that um You're going to get a big price break on some of these pieces and you're going to end up There's going to be smaller capacitors that are very popular that you're going to use a lot And you're going to end up with um A big price break on them You'll be able to order 50 of them and you'll get them for pennies You'll get them for a third of the price you would if you were just to buy five for seven and um Then what i'll do is i'll just save I'll just save the Worksheet I guess that has the caps listed in there and and if anybody wants to go and order them I think they could just click that length that link Yeah, it's definitely a stock issue with mauser mark. I noticed they run really low on parts a lot But yeah, that will definitely that's what i've been wanting to do But I've had so many crts to actually work on i've not had time to just stop and do that But that that'll be fun. I would do that. I'd rather do that, you know goodness I'd almost need to do that probably on a real video not just a live show I could probably do both Maybe I could do one platform on a actual video And then i'll say hey come hang out and we'll do a live stream of the other of the other uh Distributor And then we'll compare prices Between the two I think that's what i'll do that way I could do one of each a live show for the people who watch the live show Oh, yeah, now I need to put the uh capacitors in here Before I forget I was about to clean that up, but I didn't have the caps in here And the challenge for all of you will be to find some type of um What shall we what shall we call it vessel? That's a good one vessel to hold all your capacitors and to keep them neatly organized so you know You're going to grab a certain capacitor Something with bins and slots. I'm not going to tell you exactly what to pick But that's my recommendation Yeah, uh adjacent I I've thought about that a lot. I even mentioned that on a video earlier this year I'd love to be able to organize that thing. Look guys. Here's the secret. Okay I haven't told anybody online this because this has been happening in such a fast pace. I am actually uh Moving from here not to like a different area. It's like a Three miles from where I live right now But it will give me an opportunity to have a better situation set up um And once I get that done that would be fun like I This could be part of like a one or two day course, but you guys would have to be willing probably to travel There's plenty of hotels around here. I can do it during a cheap area um but What I would like to do is do a master class in person or here um I may be able to set it up if you guys could come to a convention Especially the one in nashville if you could ever make yeah the bunker will be well it won't it will be different It has two individual buildings They're not huge ones 12 by 20 ones 12 by 10 12 by no 12 by 20 12 by I can't remember it 12 by 20 12 by 16 I think the two buildings are like that So those are going to be the two new bunkers uh Right 12 by 20 had 240 square feet and like another 180 or 200 square or something like that. So yeah So here would be the class right you'd have to come to the class I could teach Uh, I could teach like a whole day here. We I would rent out a facility like a classroom and then That would be the deal right you come in you Stay in a hotel somewhere and you spend all day We'd work on things you'd be here together And then like I would probably release that as like an exclusive video series on patreon or something for people Well, what it'll help me do too is reorganize things now Do a better situation The problem still is going to be a the large crts are such a pain To get more than one of them in here And then like I'll get one done and it takes forever like the problem is now. I don't have any heat out where they're at So well, that's a good thing. I'll be able to actually work on them easier But I can't get them like down here and then Once I do get them done that I'm like trying to scramble getting in contact with the owners Hey, your crts. He's done even though we haven't spoken since like January But the classes we could go through soldering. I mean Be all kinds of stuff every bit of it Heck I could even go through business portions of the classes If that's what anybody wanted. All right, let's go back to a single view everything, right? 705 The issue with the house I'm at now is I'm renting it and I don't I mean it's not like a house There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing really wrong with it except for the fact that it's not It's not really it. I mean it's not in the right school district for my kids Um, that's the biggest issue really Yeah, we'll have to pre-plan it. Like I said the the thing is It would have to be I don't know I could do like it. I do like introductory classes at the Conventions, but it probably wouldn't that probably wouldn't be a great idea because then it would be difficult To dedicate the whole time to it the CRT Masterclass in-person event and that's everything on this board So I can turn the iron off for a second There we go Let's clean this thing time to clean time to clean I need to real fill my alcohol bottle somebody use alcohol and just clean these boards Hey, look at this. We got Got a couple new members on the patreon. Thanks you guys for whoever signed up today Just got a notification. I appreciate you since this since the stream started. That's awesome All right, let me get Get the alcohol ready here Give her a drizzle You could use an old toothbrush for this if you want but You know, you know, it's just an old ESD brush as long as it then conduct electricity. You know what you're thinking you're thinking Why does his board look so pretty every time? And mine doesn't don't give up Don't give up you too can just clean clean clean with this alcohol and brush And your board would become clean Look at all that stuff. We're getting off that board I'm gonna give it one little more bath because it's still got some sticky residue all over it. That's right About to hit the epic conclusion of the restoration on just the neck board Isn't that exciting? This is just the neck board if you work on a restoration you too can restore just a neck board Hey negator What's up? Look at that Now this is wood plastic fiber There we go. Let's let's take a look here and see how we're doing. They're all clean on here. Let's take a good close look in here Look at that. Woof Holy mama Holy moly Look at that folks If that doesn't excite you you're not a nerd Oh, yeah gleaming I mean Sometimes I even surprised myself Look at that. I don't think this board is going to have any problems Probably at least not till 2062 and I'm not exaggerating Let's uh get Let me go get my blower and blow this pad boy Here we go. Yeah, you got to get that really good. You know, you got to jam it in that hole like that That's a big jam it in there Nice and dry All right. Whoo Nice to clean. I I like to come through here do one more little check and just make sure that No parts are grounding out against each other what I mean like what I don't want this resistor to like be pushed against the leg of this um Heat sink or something or against another part. There's a lot of parts in here and They can bend So you want to make sure nothing's going to short out and cause a problem More than likely it won't but you always got to be careful. I've seen stuff like that happen. There we go I think it's time. I think it's time. We got this back into the shell back into We need to get this back into the frame and test But before that I need to clear a couple things out of the way Make sure everything's triple checked Well, we never miss out This is going to be it the big climax for the neck board Will it Will we be triumphant? Is that how you say it will we triumph or will it be we triumphant? Is that how you say that? All right Now this is the time We're going to install this thing over here. Let me show you before I do that I want to actually point the camera over there And I'm going to make it so it's not Inverted On you and By doing that You'll be able to see You'll be able to see me install this and we'll check out We'll check out our progress. Hey RC. Welcome. Welcome in everybody Welcome in Get the darkness over here the bunker the lovely jazz going. There's the rear The rear of the crt And there's another crt in the background. Look at that. We got two two crts in the shot So I'm going to put the neck board back on there. Um and okay Oh, no, don't do that on me. Stop that. Let's go pc view Resize this Oh, I almost have it everybody. There we go I'm going to go install this neck board right now. It's going on there. Okay You need to double check. I'm pretty sure of the cable. I just need to check my pictures to make sure I have the k I've looked at this so many times That I don't even trust myself um I have to always check the cabling To make sure I put it back together correctly. All right. How about that? We got it installed We're going to turn it around and power it on. Hey, let's see what happens Our sent in Nothing's smoking Promising. All right, good Well Hold up There we go There we go and is Gotta remember In the process, let me turn that light out so in the process of turning that or restoring that neck board You could easily spin like the g2 voltage potentiometer, which is what happened there And that just caused the voltage to be wonky and caused the discoloration the blacks Won't be black everything had like a red issue. You can see it with a red issue or a green issue So let me see you crank that sucker back into the correct range There we go though. It's good So that has a fully rebuilt neck board and power supply, but it still needs one more thing That's the deflection kit Audio works fine. Everything's good And that's it there we go folks Air Zonk Let's get back in here and see what's going on but We'll let that run for a second make sure there's no hiccups on there I just want to see it act That's good. We'll go back here to side by side Have you seen retro vans? Have you not seen my video on the um What is it gdm? I think it's a c520 that I have I love it. It's four by three. It's flat screen. I like it more than like a d20 personally It's great just has two vga inputs, but it's basically the fw 900 only it's a four by three version of it Oh, hey, okay. Yeah, I did a video Um, yeah, I mean if you want to go check that out. That's what I'm saying. It's like the quest for my favorite CRT, right? Let me see if I can find that one Hello, hello retro tech, where are you? Let's look for it Um, now here's something I will show you everybody. This would be fun. Let's go to my channel here for a second and We will look at one thing. So I'm going to pull this over here to the side and um Navigate you through something that maybe if you're new here and you have no idea It's hard to navigate a lot of things on my channel occasionally. Okay But if I go over here, um To the pc view, all right now you see my channel, right? This is us live. How cool is that? Thank you all again for showing up. Um But if we look here, I want to show you a couple things first off playlists these are the the playlists I have here are uh These are the only ones that are listed the cathode ray podcast, which is just archives. Okay Then I went through and I actually separated my channel into seasons. Okay Like here was 2022 Here was 2023. Let's see And so if you're looking for videos These are like the most important videos I made that year Like 19 videos here 28 videos in 2022 19 last year this year. I've made three so far So they're all in retro tech 2024 So I have three seasons and then I have the live show which is the bunker Which is what we're watching today and that's all the live shows are there So if I go back here, I believe I'm hoping that it's into 2022 playlist Oh, there's there's the pretty face Let's see because if it's not then that means it's an even older video and so I'm I'm just showing you stuff that Yeah, I'm sorry. It was older than 2022. This is like the 2021 season, which is not on here So that's my fault. Maybe I can figure out a way to add that before next time But That's one way I have had this channel organized. Let's see if I could find that video Otherwise you have to go here and you scroll all the way back Now there are some videos that I made throughout the year that I did not include in the seasons because they're just like not relevant to now This we're going to go way back to three years ago probably Where is it? This is before I even moved Here it is Driving 300 miles to find the perfect Sony PC CRT The gdm c520. So this is my favorite PC CRT. Another reason is because during the same time period Yeah, I did restorations here on this 2003 gateway PC, which is mine from Which is my computer from college So I went here and I restore it and then here I also restore it more upgrade it. So these are a couple of videos about those kind of things. That's my favorite one Yeah, this is this is about three years ago And that'll give you the whole Shebang on why I like it so much. Look at that Now there's I'm not playing any music. Look at this. This is back when I used to know how to make a video There's the pc right? That's what I wanted. That looks so cool. It's a silver just like the gateway There's doom 2 Look at this 480p brother How Amazing is that 480p? This is the old shop. Oh, I'm getting nostalgic here. Everybody. This is the shop in Tennessee I can't believe it. We're on sub shop 2. We're about I mean Some people have been here and seen everything We're about to be on shop 3 Soon gosh, it's crazy Look at that. What is this one? I don't even remember what that game was No, I haven't worked on that one gs mickey Or mickey if I got that sorry So this video is majorly a vlog about going and picking up the crt from this place a hundred miles away and then I mean doom 2 right original doom 2 on that. Holy crap Gosh, that looks good. Even in this video That's really the one you want if you're looking for a pc crt I need to do a restoration on it. Mine only has like 1500 hours on it like nothing There's a little flash for you. Whoo. Look at that red flash Now, I don't know what frame rate that runs at but it's obviously high refresh rate I go back to Tennessee a visit. So My idea of missing something. I don't know I miss people There's things about Tennessee. I miss that Tennessee didn't have any You know, Tennessee was great that they didn't have an income tax for living there So it's like a haven For people who don't want to have to pay more taxes. That's a nice thing, but That's all right Gosh, that's an old video man Is it just run Doom 2 in the background doom 2 is so cool because you can just let it run and it'll just play I need to go set that back up. Look how smooth that transition is anyway that's just A flashback two years ago On retro tech now, let's get a sneak peek of what we'll do next time on a live show which is Shop for capacitors Do do do Hello digikey. I don't even use digikey very much, but Thing I'm going to type in this search bar is I think I'm going to type I think I'm going to type in this search bar aluminum Electro Litic capacitors and it'll pull up for you. Oh my gosh My goodness. This is so ridiculous the verification That I'm not a robot I don't know. I don't have a problem with either of them actually shipping them to me where I live Basically whatever I pick for shipping it will be there So let's see what this does. This is definitely the one I'm least familiar with That's what we're going to do this one on the live show next time the digikey version Okay Let's get in here Making resize this a little bit There's a lot of different types of capacitors. Okay And the vast majority of the ones we're working with are not going to be Are not going to be Where's the delivery type or the insert type application? See you can even pick all kinds of stuff. We need to put in The type Through hole, okay Because that's what we're doing. We're doing through hole We're not doing surface mount if you need surface mount capacitors, which this will not be what I'll be building We're going to pick through hole. All right, and that's going to eliminate everything that's crap that we don't need So always make sure you select that And then you can go down here and you can move on over to the next category And the most important category to select Is down here In stock That's right. We're in stock show us what we want Show us what we need all right Now one of the very most common 10 micro farad 10 micro farad Don't worry about tolerance because then you might get yourself stuck Where's my voltage here? Why don't I why can't I get voltage? 10 there we go and We're going to pick 50 50 volt 10 That is a very common capacitor Okay I like to pick this Man, I don't know Okay, I'm looking at my options here. I'm going this one Ah, no, I'm not See if I if I go on, uh, I'm not doing anything We're not looking for bipolar. We're looking for polar And there's a lot of these going to be left. Okay, if you want more you can put more Um, we don't want Axial we want radial No, we don't want radial doing axial we want axial right Let's see. It'll show us. No, we don't want we want radial Why is it only showing me one capacitors in stock? See, what what have I picked here? I've done something wrong on this because it's only giving me one One that's in stock Surely there's more than one in stock Let's go back to our search options. What did I pick here? I have picked something that is not Liking it's not liking what I'm picking All right guys, I'm going to be honest with you. This is a bit of see I don't see the filters up here Stacked yeah, I don't know what all this stuff there we go finally Uh clear we'll clear that We got our voltage rating our stock options our capacitance our mounting type And I don't understand how this site could only have How the hell does how do these guys only have one available according to this So this is this is this is I I just don't like digikey's website. Sorry I know people are going to say oh, you're you're just I don't like them. I'm going to be honest with you guys. I order from them One out of 20 times because I just don't like their website And their search options It's like too many options And let's just see I found I did all that searching and I found one capacitor in stock for a 50 volt one 50 volts 10 micro farads, we're going to go to here. So you'll notice the same kind of thing I typed in This time we're going to look at these lovely things here. We're going to again do Radial okay Radial that is through hole radial Maybe the through hole thing was the thing I shouldn't have picked You can even go here general purpose same thing in stock Now let's go 50 volts dc capacitance 10 10 micro farads what we're looking for And then we're going to go in stock blah blah blah blah. Let's apply filters and see how many this comes up with 50 Why am I what is wrong with that? What would I do on that digikey thing? That not need to select the through hole So I'm going to narrow this down a little bit further by selecting this 105 degree temperature rating on here apply filters We're going to get rid of some of that stuff And then we're going to come down here and look at all these amazing capacitors that we have all in stock Next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to sort these by price And I'm going to make sure I'm looking at the cheapest ones to begin with Okay Now now you got to decide what your tolerance is for parts. What? What do you want? What brand do you really want? And is there some characteristics to a capacitor that you want? Now me for 50 volt 10 cap stock This cap is better than the ones that was normally selected and used in parts You're going to have these worth capacitors right here. I like them. They're all in stock always. They're very well priced But they're not always the best option Let's see what a nishikon would be You also want to look at your order sheet, right? I want to get 50. I want to get a price break on 50 if I can So that is something that I need to look at here. Look like I can get these down to nine cents if I get 50 I get these down to 11 cents if I get 50 These are going to be 14 cents if I get 50. Let's go see what the rubicons would be Uh, they're going to be 19 cents if I get 50 All right If you want to order 100 you get a price break 15 cents for the panasonic And then they're just going up from there usually So that's really the reason is you can get a price break on these and these are going to be good enough for the majority of your work Let's see what the difference isn't these. Let's see what the difference is in these three These three different products All right, so this one is a 5000 hour And where's the ripple current 97 milliamps? this one is 2000 hours Where's that ripple current rating at 48 milliamps? So It's got Lower ripple current, but it's a lot lower life. It's half the life. Okay And then finally this third one, which is our Middle of the road price. It's a 4000 hour with a ripple current of 2.6 ohms, so that's probably the highest. Okay So if it were me, I'm going to choose not I'm not going to pick this one This one's immediately eliminated And I'm going to say between these two you're going to get twice as long of life on this one Which is opposed to that one. So I if this was going to be my cap stock, I would be fine going, you know what? This is one that I need to order And you just do that Then you go through and that's so you get 50 of those for seven dollars 50 Okay, I know I'm probably bored everybody to death I'm going to figure out some more on That digi-key site so that we can do the digi-key version because I'll be able to blow through the mauser version I'll be able to do that next time, but we're going to do that next time We're going to go through digi-key and we're going to figure out how to properly shop for capacitors because we have to have competition We have to have fair competition as far as The monitor it's still going great everybody Thank you all for joining me today. It's been a fun stream. We've hit an hour over an hour and a half. Wow awesome Thank you everybody. I really appreciate your time today. I appreciate the super chats I appreciate all your awesome questions and contributions to our chat here and hanging out in the community and I will see you all in the next stream Where we'll work on some more capacitor orders have a wonderful day
