Thank you all EF lover Time leppy double 014. Hello and welcome You're here. It's been six minutes. Let's get to a beer story. Okay. I'd like to take you back. I I'd like to take you back to a time and in the world when Your buddy here that he didn't make and I'm talking about this guy. You're seeing it myself Right. I didn't make the best decisions growing up. Okay. I admit it.  I have may have taunted old Johnny law and Most of the time the law did win. Okay fight the law and the law one mmm well There was a time when you know come in of age jumping into high school Seeing the cool kids party not knowing what I'm gonna do with my life wanting to be cool Wanting to go to parties and you might go to a party, right?   Hey, there's kids here. They got beer. How the heck do they get that beer? And of course, there's lots of political games involved in that So you can't really be involved in joining the political game.  They're just laughing and you're again trying not to get kicked out, you know You're bottom of the totem pole so you have to get creative and How do you get creative?  You're like, hey, how are we gonna get beer, right? You're like, oh, I got an idea. Oh Well, what's that? Well, you know the old grocery store over there on Main Street. Yeah well, you just We'll just get somebody to distract the one cashier that's working and then somebody else just runs out the door with like Five twelve packs of beer. Oh Brilliant idea. They're genius.  These names have no meaning.  It kind of worked just terrible terrible way, right? Snatching stuff and going So I think you know, that's not long-lived, right?  He's gonna say you got beer for his friends So you're like, you know what got away with that once, you know, let's not try it Let's not let's not deal with that again. Let's not deal with that idea again for Benjamin, right? Sorry, Benjamin, you know so What we're what we're what were we doing to try to get some beers? Well we had finally come up with a couple of plans and This did involve some experimentation But we thought that if there was a way now this is another genius thing that these companies did They this was right around the time the first you scan you check out thing was happening the very first time turn of the century These things were coming out Maybe even late 90s some of places had you scan stuff style things and So these are coming out and So you're like well, here's a situation we get to scan stuff Of course, we cannot scan beer because it pops up a warning gets carded But we can sky on other items, right? So then began the prop the proposition of what items to target so my first buddy That's call him Joshua he Joshua was like I've got an idea we can go in and we can get the giant the giant jugs of Minute-made orange juice Okay, Joshua. What are you coming up with here? Well, listen to me Steve.  Okay, so Joshua did his thing the problem with Joshua's plan Was he never could get the weight right? He couldn't get the same volume of beer in that jug. It was foamy Yeah, Jug He got beer in the jug Dumped him out throw the bright beer cans away in the trash back there and the garbage can Fill this beer up in this jug and then go think he'd go pay for it Now he did get through it But it would always scan because it didn't weigh the right amount So the person would have to come over there and check out it and say okay It looks like orange juice and they let him go but we're like what the hell man This is orange juice flavored beer that you poured and mixed in the men's room at a grocery store. Congratulations, Joshua But he was on the right track And eventually we all came up with the best the best idea. Okay, cuz again, we couldn't get fake IDs We couldn't do anything, but what we could do is we could get packs and packs of soda pop soda pop Okay, and relatively cheap. So here's what you do operation free beer operation free beer Secrets revealed. Did you see me? I went so fast. I broke the wind there whoo. All right operation free beer involved super glue a knife a 12 pack of big K. Cola any Cola really Then a 12 pack of your favorite canned beer Now this operation is tricky because you must constantly be aware of your situational around or surroundings. Pardon me Anyway, stage one is to acquire these items Stage two sneak said 12 packs of both beer and soda pop into the restroom. I Know it sounds good, right? Once in the restroom Commenced to Opening the 12 pack of beer slightly along the edges that it pops open cleanly Do the same with the soda? Swap the contents. So now you have 12 sodas in The beer and 12 beers in the sodas Super glue them up. Wait a minute sneak back out of the bathroom with said items Go put the beer back in the beer aisle. It now contains soda and Go pay through the you scared for your beer that is now Happens to be in a lovely soda pop soda box So just a disclaimer. I do not right. Thank you shadow mask I do not recommend anybody do this This was just a time in Youth consider it like a movie script, right? A movie script idea. You could take this. That's what I'm saying You know, this is a whole movie script everything you've been listened to There's no reality here. Okay. This is not reality TV. You should not do this stuff okay, so Brilliant idea, right? This is a brilliant idea. It's running like clockwork imagine effect as a matter of fact it happens so much we get brazen we go to other stores and we just do it when we Would need beer some weekends and it all comes crashing down one time okay, it all comes crashing down because one time Let's say I walk up there and I've got this freshly repacked.  Yeah, no more. That was it That was it. That was it for that brilliant operation free beer. Okay. That's how it ended I knew that I wasn't pressing my luck anymore or if this was a movie script I know it wouldn't be that would be the last straw. So There's your free beer story. I hope I haven't been canceled. I hope I haven't been run off of YouTube Give me some comments. Let me know I'm still alive Is anybody still here we're about to unbox this yarty I promise I promise let's see if Cole's still here Yeah, he's he's chilled out looking him.

We're so close You all are doing great out there We're almost there We're almost there. Okay Excellent excellent So again in the box, let me show you what I got This is gonna be our main topic. So again, if you've just come in don't worry You haven't missed anything yet except some story time now. We're getting into the CRT unboxing. Okay, this is the fun part Let me show you I Was having fun with my kids of course on Halloween and You know, I might have had a few too many sips on some bourbon And when I did I made a purchase Let me show you what I purchased first off. That's the box. That's not what I wanted to show you What I wanted to show you was this This amazing thing I did I bought this Friday or Halloween night, right? $250 it was actually Let's see. There it is. I don't want too many bourbons on Halloween night in order to BVM or PVM. Sorry It was 379 shipped. Okay, that's right 379 shipped, okay Now I got this back a few first off if you want more stuff than you're seeing just here on the channel You got to go follow me on Twitter and get on to Twitter because that's where I post everything every day and Anyway, let's go up here. I've been working on all kinds of CRTs, but I finally got this box ready To own box and open I've had it for goodness three or four days and it's ready to go So Let's get ready to do this. We're gonna open it up here at the 19 minute mark. Please folks last request For a like I've run everybody out. I can see that the numbers are down on The people watching so anyway, let's just do it. Okay Let's just do it now I've got this other camera view set up. I'm gonna move my Microphone out like this And maybe Maybe I'll be able to hear me a little bit better I have it right here in front of us. Okay, and I'll be able to test it We'll do all that together here. Okay, so Let's say a little prayer Hopefully this will be fine right Weapon of choice good old Winchester Or steer sorry steer Puck a knife Let's go, baby. Let's go Let's do it. We're gonna see what's in the box We think cold Oh Yeah, of course we got some packing peanuts But I think we got a double boxer here a double boxer That's good I need something to put all these packing peanuts in though So let me grab it container something around here something. There's gotta be I'll have to Well We're not gonna be too worried about that. I think I can get this out. It looks like there's a box inside of here So I'll just try to push These Things out. We got some eBay tape lovely eBay tape Get out of here peanuts Don't want and these peanuts are gonna go everywhere when I pull this out of the box So I'm gonna pull this other box out. I'm gonna set this bigger box down on the ground and I'm gonna pull the inner box out Okay Sit down Oh, I knew the peanuts would go everywhere Of course they did So let me clean that up a little bit You know now cold don't don't get these things. No, no, no That's the problem cold can't eat plastic peanuts now Can't have the dog eating the plastic peanuts What do you think? What do you think our chances are here? I got it. I got it. I got it all It's pretty much in there just the packing peanuts Just the packing peanuts.  They're a necessary evil I guess sometimes So this person actually packed this really well, right? Look We've got Hopefully a good good chance of this making it I mean I know he's gonna want to go over there and pee on that box Now that I finally put her on the ground No peeing on the box. I might have to return it Nice little touch. It does help You know while that double box is there having a combination of things like One layer of good bubble wrap like this And even the packing peanuts is helpful but That's out of the way And we're ready folks We're ready Now I wonder if it's a box within a box. What if we have another box? within this box And what if I just keep opening boxes? What if it's like zez's scam? Poor zez getting scammed thought he was buying playstation 3 stuff and he was actually just getting the messed up playstation 3 What if I got scammed? Well, I have buyer protection from ebay, right? Oh, I say I have a letter here That says how much I paid and all my personal information so I won't show you that That's just too sexy of information for you So you can't have it you can't have it Okay, you can't have that Now I love you all really I do Oh boy, here we go Well, I think we're gonna answer all our questions pretty soon Because it's in here It's not a lot of packing in here Not a lot at all. Look It's a little bit on the glass there And a little bit on the back now the back is not busted in That's good. That's a good sign the front This is the big this is one of the big tests. Okay That's where I have to Move this and touch the screen. Oh, okay I don't feel it moving. That's a good sign You get the rest of this out of the way Oh, it's just I'm gonna need to lift this out. So I'm again, they're gonna put this big box on the ground and I'm gonna try to get it out Here we go. Here we go Let's see what we have I need to get a lift See anything broken gosh. I didn't even remember what model this was Let me uh Let me get it some elevation here Let me get some elevation now watch me drop it while I'm just moving it around Trying to Go something this one is a pvm bvms are super heavy This one's like 40 pounds or something Let's get a little height on here and then we'll look at it. Let's see what we've got first off on the back Should tell us all the secrets Okay, how is that? I think we're gonna be okay here Does my wife know about this? Yeah, how could I hide a big box like this? I mean, I guess I could just never tell her right here. Hello All right. I'm sorry. I'm gonna Adjust this camera.  He's just such a cutie sleeping the whole time through this All right, let's go over here. See okay. We're getting there. So I think that Should be able to Do that right there And let's see what we've got here ladies and gentlemen, right clash. Welcome Andrew. Hey That was a stressful unboxing. All right, as you say, let's look at the butt So this cool Um 13 43 md it does Two composite video inputs one s video input a vtr input a digital rgb input And then rgb sync all analog video only so 240p and 480i And you can do resolutions a bit differently through this digital rgb, but that's only like retro pc stuff It's not doing any like really high-end things now. There's a scratch here. That's not a break This one is 600 tv lines All the screws back here are original, which is good. Uh, what else do we see back here? This one's from 91 91 so it's a bet it's it's one of the later models of this monitor If you get a nineties edition It's generally better. These were made in the 80s also So, um, just be aware of that 99 99 watts 50 to 60 hertz is ac 120 volt rated um You know, they don't usually put double stickers on there about the manufacturing which is interesting this one It's this came from some research group the alfred something research group llc So it wasn't a professional setting of some sort So that's interesting Let's look at the front. Oh man, I don't know I don't know.  Okay, I think that's just like goo on the screen just some goo instead of Uh damage to the screen power buttons pushed in we got Now we're gonna I'm gonna go ahead and um Get things ready for a power test now. Okay folks folks. We're ready to power test it. That's right. We're going for the moon here There we go. Here we go. You ready? Are you ready to power test it? Here we go Okay, now I've got it set on vtr Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to set up actually I'm going to set something else up here. I'm going to set up a super Famicom from my friend Belmont Must be hard working working out in the field today with concrete So we're going to use his amazing Super Famicom and test this through s video and for s video we're going to use The insurrection industries cable This is a great s video cable for all the nintendo multi out s video supported systems Very nice right there high quality stuff. Hey brian harmon welcome in I'm just going to connect this the audio I don't think it has to be selected There we go Okay, everything's plugged in there Now we can plug in the Other items right here Famicom how we do this a little lower And then we can just plug in the crt. Here we go. I'm going to turn the power on I do have power on The led for the Famicom right there. See It's on there. I just hard to see even All right. This is this is the big moment here All right, what's the wager? What's the what's what do you think? I mean sometimes even these that look good can have a problem Let's go for it, right? 50 50. All right, let's see I hope it works. You never know Let's see what happens. Here we go Knock on some wood here Boom we get the sound. Oh camera's glitching out on me. It's too cool Oh Look at here Whoo, we got some fun stuff happening. Whoa. Look at that Reset, uh, I definitely hear the volume way up. I think let's put something Get the brightness way out in left field. I like to do metroid because it's kind of dark Uh, there we go So mill, let me see if I can fix that Okay, I think I got it I was messing that mode seven was messing with me a little bit too Okay, look at that. Hey Hey Let me turn the contrast down so you can see it a little better. I know my camera's starting to glitch out I'm sorry about that folks That turned that down a little bit There we go Nice as Ronnie says. Yes, wonderful Looks good Looks good fair deal. Of course. Yeah, right. I mean even has the logo It's not in bad shape at all It's from the research and development group. It says up here There's a little sticker that's not fancy or anything. It just is sharpie. This is rnd group Nothing nothing special So if you wagered that it would work the congratulations you win You win the contest today, so That's it. That's it, right It does have it doesn't have the knobs. This one has the little push buttons instead of knobs And then it's got yeah, all these are push buttons instead of the other style of pvm where's where they switch over To the knobs on the later series than this This one is a pvm 13 md 1343 md. Let me pull up some we pull up some data on it and we will Look at it and I can give you some of the features because this is a really excellent pvm. The thing is is it's all Analog so there's no Again and and there's no service menu or anything. This is pre service menu Nah, I'm not the one giving away the pvm. That's roger Okay That's roger The 8 bit esquire. He's the one with the free pvm okay all right, so That's a good question. What if this breaks, right? Well generally speaking if it's mostly broken. I always or if it's broken I always uh Yes, it does have rgb. Like I said, I'll pull this up. But if if something breaks and shipping I'm pretty much filing for a return with ebay And unless it's in really good Mostly good shape. I'm gonna try to get either my money back and keep it Or I get my money back and send it back And both things have happened Before so let me pull up some data I bet I bet andy king's got something for us.  What a beautiful set. So this is The 19 inch version but pretty much everything's the same. It's a little bit different Um Just looking because there's no pull tabs on this one They've been removed but it'll it'll have the same uh The same things. So here's common questions Um, there's some things about it There's an audio for the rgb input. That's a modification which maybe we could go ahead and do that But it does do rgb Here's just like the specs over here on the side. So we have rgb s video composite and digital rgb. That's the inputs You could do c sync sync on green sync over composite or sync on luma So it can take just about all the syncs and maybe even more than that There's a resolution we've talked about the line count. Again, it's that 600 tv line tubes that lovely little tube Let me see if I if I put myself in the corner. There we go Lovely little tube there the 600 line. It does ntsc pal c cam and other ntsc 16 by 9 aspect ratio It will show that It's got the sony hr true tube 90 degree deflection And it says that's the again though And this launched it was launched again well before 94 That's the only thing I would change As maybe that was when it was ended was 94 So I for some reason thought this was the 42 When I bought it What did did it really say that it was a 43 back on the ebay listing? I'll have to go follow my my ghost account here and See if See if I can locate that on here. Let's look over at the CRT it's looking fine. I want to see what that said I don't want to make you dizzy watching my screen scroll I sobered up and I got to thinking girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinking Okay, well I guess the facts probably don't lie. Let me see 1343 Here you go There it is 1343. It says it right there. I just I thought it was a 42 for some reason All right. Well, it's arrived. They get good feedback especially the way they packed it I'd say that was a great packing job. You saw it considering Made it. I don't know FedEx did fine shipping it this time I don't remember where it came from But that's secret data so Anyway, what do you guys think of it? This is um Now again, you don't have adjustments. This has to be adjusted internally only You know, I don't think this seller so it was holding it had any other ones so You have to get inside it to calibrate it. Let me move the camera a little more Perfect. It's like that But it really does look great Once you get it like tweaked and turned tuned in it you can almost get this one better looking than you can the newer ones Same line count. So, you know, it's not like you're getting an improved picture between this one and the newer medical pvms The only thing you're not getting with this is Component video. This one doesn't do component video Okay Well, you know it runs Let's take a look inside it. Make sure that nothing broke. How about that? That'd be fun So do me a favor if you haven't already Hey, it arrived baby. What do you want? We didn't get to uh See one broken but that's okay Let's uh Let's open it up. If you don't mind if you haven't already, please hit the like button for me It definitely helps the show helps the reach. This is not my normally scheduled show time But I didn't get to come on yesterday It's just too too much. Yesterday. I went to an estate sale or didn't go to it. It was online And I bought another crt Which I'll show next week. I have to go pick it up monday Morning, so maybe monday at the live show. I'll have it here and we could test it. It's a nice trinitron Okay From an estate sale. I paid $22 for it. I also bought a boombox that I paid $14 for now I lost on a filler jvc spaceman helmet white TV I lost out on it The bid was $250 for an estate sale and it's like no somebody's crazy got into the bidding war with me So I didn't get to get the space helmet tv which was disappointing But I also wasn't going to keep going into bidding where I bid up to 240 and once it went over that I was like, that's my limit Actually 210 was my limit. It got up to 240 and I was like, that's that's too much too much Um, especially since you didn't get to I mean, I don't know if that person got to see it I didn't go by and view the stuff. Hey aerial Yeah, I didn't get to go see the stuff. Let's let's open this up though. I'm gonna Cut the power over here on the other side And I've already messed up my camera view. I'm sure let's see There we go. So we're gonna I'm gonna disconnect everything That power we get this out We get this shell opened up Hey mercury I'm having a wonderful day. Hopefully you are too some nutter In a shed. That's funny I guess you didn't know But my last name happens to be nutter. That is funny Yeah, that's not for stuffer. They're they're mostly like that. I've noticed I was going to actually talk So most of the crt's in the estate sales are really older 80s and most of them are rf only and I was about to speak with Mr. Adams and see if he could make me a bundle of like 15 I could get a bundle of like 15 of the rf reflex adapters to hook up to them And give them at least composite because I don't To me some of them. They just look so awesome. They're like gonna be museum pieces someday Either a museum will need them or somebody will like myself will Get crazy and open a crt museum So we can show off all these crt's to people But the only way to really do something like that would have the thing out in the middle of nowhere kind of off the highway um Because land is too expensive Shop space most of the time Too expensive We could swing this around You can swing this around I think without running over the cable Take out these last screws here And show it join me again. Now I have to see my crotch area This is a 13 inch one. Yes the 13 inch size So it's very easy to handle And this is the largest I generally want to have shipped through ground These don't always make it but they can make it even bad packing. Sometimes they'll survive But you get bigger than this and they don't really tend to survive um Thanks, Ronnie All right, I'm gonna slip the back off here if I can get to it.  That's funny. I might have to lay it down I don't know It's not a generally a problem Look at that.  It's got like a death grip up here on it whoo That weird it's like the screws are still in it, but they're not Not over there That's so odd Let's try to pry it a little bit Doing this gracious I don't want to damage it. That's ridiculous Ridiculous. It must have like a doll gone All right, we're gonna lay it down on its face. We're gonna get this freaking thing open We're gonna get this sucker open See what makes it tick Anything else in there press the power button in There on its face Just ridiculous man Just ridiculous It's definitely got all the screws out.  I've never seen one this sucked into it I literally can't get the thing out Finally good grief. What is going on here? Huh? What are you holding on to dear life for? There we go Finally like opening a time capsule, huh? There we go Golly. Yeah So I don't see anything wrong. I don't see anything cracked Broken nothing But right in this area. I don't think that's gonna hit that spot. Let's see So that's where you would Like down in this area. This is where you make adjustments Brian, I actually Was asking about my store stuff I haven't uh I haven't had time. It's probably gonna have to be after after the new year. I'm gonna have to finish up this year's plans Because this the rest of this year is pretty much booked out for repairs So it's gonna have to be after that You're asking about the tube model. Unfortunately all that info is blocked Let's see And I can't really see it. It's blocked by the power supply August 91 It doesn't even look that dirty inside looks pretty clean. It's never been opened. I'm sure This is like this weird transistor. Hey, thanks Robert. Thank you for the five dollar super chat says just because That's awesome. Thank you I appreciate it. I appreciate everybody that's always coming in here and watching the show man I've been having a lot of fun making these episodes. I have not made obviously a regular video in a while But that's gonna change thankfully I got my My GoPro back from returns just like two days ago And I had been without that for about a month. I did make some videos on my phone But they did not look good at all a lot of them a lot of it's like wasted footage from the trip I've uploaded it to my You know file base. I'm just not sure that any of it's that good to use. We'll see hopefully You know, we'll see what we can do if I can't use it. I'll Go through it in a live show with you guys but Now I've got that situated Should be better Were we saying shadow mask? Sorry. I didn't miss that. Oh, yeah the sealant. Oh, sorry. So the sealant up here That's a good question. That is Look at this Sorry, you see how this, um It's actually sealant up here where they seal the Anode cap down from sony with A colk it's like similar to the colk that they used in other places to secure things same kind of stuff And that is original. That's all original. Thankfully they got rid of that later on but it is in this one and generally speaking the best way is to get under it with something that's not too bad That can cut it and just try to cut it and then pry it away You could use some kind of a acetone probably and get rid of it, but I just dog snoring over there I just tend to The phone oh, oh, I see what you're saying. Okay. Yeah That might be good. You're right It's a good idea So there's uh, but there's that Sealant is on there originally and the best thing to do is try to get rid of it by Kind of cutting around it and getting under it popping it off And that's it. Um as far as like other crt's man. I mean, it's it's it's becoming more difficult Now I have noticed that the prices have started to come down a little bit You don't put it back after once you break that seal you just kind of rip it off and you don't need it That's the thing. It wasn't needed Uh, sony just did it. I guess because they didn't want people messing around under there This is again I don't know a lot of this stuff Was trial and error on their part as far as function over form Etc. So I'm sure what happened was somebody went out in the field and had to service this and was like look This is not serviceable with this stupid Gloop on the anode cap like people probably tear up their anode caps trying to deal with it and Uh Instead of just having a regular styanic cap that's on every other crt pretty much. This is not Standard to have this sealant on there No, because they also did it on Um They also did it on all the eight inch pvms that were not Uh, sorry that were not medical. Okay So it's not it's just something they did for a little bit of time and Because this one if you go and you find um The the more concerning thing they had with They were all worried about like power supplies causing a spark So there's a lot of extra things in the medical units for that um As far as The sealant up here now this would have been on again the eight inch models to Like that weren't in hospitals at all There's a medical version of eight inch, but not that one There and then it's it's back and forth uh back like Sometimes it'll be on the 40s series all of them and then there was a year they just stopped doing it. So there's Later units that don't have it on there at all It's very interesting Yeah Yep Yeah, the newer ones don't have it thankfully Um, but those are good questions. You guys have a belmont All congratulations Work season is over, huh? That's awesome Yeah Yeah, I didn't have much going on today besides this unboxing. Um I've been working on man. I've been working on uh, if you guys want to see some stuff I can pull up some files and show you the last I've been working on three different We pull up my drive folder. I'll go through some restorations I've done this week Then three different registrations this week So and I po like I say I post these I've been posting a lot of this stuff daily to twitter a lot of you guys know that and I'm just trying out experiment posting more content there So Let's do this let's I'm gonna go to the um this view And we're gonna look at some pictures here from the I'll walk you through some of these restorations Man, I bet you are feeling pretty beat up. It's the last day of the season Okay guys, so let's uh, sorry if I click the right thing on my Oh my Thing here. I'm gonna I'm gonna make this a little bit bigger Larger than the screen Okay Just a little bit and then I'll make myself a little smaller down here a little smaller And we'll start so the first one First one is a 1351 q These are just pictures of it initially this one had a bad looking tube And I did talk about this a little bit But I it had it had really no green But as you can see we were able to rejuvenate it the actually all colors were rejuvenated And it worked So there's a picture of that rejuvenated tube. No, this is pretty standard stuff, but I did the course. There's a picture remember that picture That's from the course I did where I actually did the restoration on that board with you guys live last week Last thursday actually we were working on this board Removed the capacitors And I think that's where we stopped right And that's pictures after reflow. Oh, we talked about reflowing the solder. That's what it looks like after you reflow the solder. Okay Now I don't think I talk about this a lot or enough, but after this board serviced cleaned Uh, I go through and of course I double check everything triple check everything, right? I even photograph stuff in case I have a question. I can go back and look at the photographs and say, oh Was this really uh, this rated part? Is that what I remember it to be? Then I can go back and I could take a look at the picture or if I wonder if I changed a cap I can remember that through these pictures Um, there you go And that was that board And one thing I did not show Is the testing Guys, I test here's something I got to tell you I test Every board that I can right after I service it so that neck board it was removed Individually serviced and then reinstalled and tested. That's the good thing about pvms and bvms Is it's pretty easy to do that. It's much harder when you have to take a tv like the bno I did man that one had so many different boards in it I had to do all those boards basically in one shot And then hope that everything was good because it's and think about if you have an issue with one board where maybe you made a mistake Uh, if you do the whole monitor The whole crt every board at once It's really difficult to pinpoint where your problem is You're going to look at every board and troubleshoot ones that don't have problems. And so I always recommend if you can Do one board at a time and test it every time after you do that board if it's a multi board system That way if you do have an issue, you know, which board it is and you're pretty familiar with that board And so that's that's just something I've learned Over the years So I always recommend that and I don't talk about it. I haven't shown it in any videos. I don't think Hey, Mike wags body blow biscuit butter. Welcome Welcome in everybody who's joining us late. Good. Good all one bay welcome in bno's are great tv's high end All right, so this is the power supply from that unit and it was a unique one I had never worked on this power supply yet Um, but it had some past work done to it, right? I'm sure some of these pictures are going to horrify you from this restoration Because I I opened it up and I was like oh somebody's been in here And this is what this is how they left it This is how they left it. Okay Like some shoddy work. I called it Anyway, I went through removed every cap replaced them all because these caps were from 1990 And uh reef there's the board with all those parts removed See there's all the caps removed And there's all the caps gone no caps Oh, there's the one big filter cap. I don't generally change that it's got a weird pin out And I always test it if it's still testing to have a lot of life and no problem Then there's no reason to change this big filter cap right here. Those are pain in the neck to find replacements for And they generally don't go bad for some reason man.  So they finally got rid of that. Yes All right, let's keep going Maybe we'll find there. So there's the serviced board And that's what it should look like nice. Oh, no, that's just the cleaned board. Ha never mind. Sorry It's cleaned up Let's go and now we've got the new caps in All the new caps are installed There they are There's a look at the backboard And that's how it looks after the new caps are installed You can go in there and the client gets to see every cap I installed They know about it. I also reflowed solder on the entire board every component that matters on this board Like I could get these uh transformers eventually stuff can break down on those legs cause vibrations and sound I've done a whole video on that But look at that you have to reflow solder on these boards if you want them to really last the longest time cancel that What is that? But that's how you get those beautiful solder spots There's another picture from another angle of that shine clean board clean quality control inspected And moving on so again, I put that back in and test it right? Okay I've got a great size crowd I want to say thank you everybody for taking the time out of your wonderful day to spend it here with me And everybody in the chat you guys are just so awesome all the time If anybody wants to chime in jump in the chat ask questions Go for it. You're more than welcome to it's a fun time. I don't really have any uh Big time agenda left today because I I said I've I've I'm on my fourth restoration This week. Um, and they're all basically the same style monitor and I don't uh I don't think there's any point in making videos on the same monitor over and over and over again I'm just like grinding through them So today I wanted to kind of take it easy to do this and again like cool next week It's going to be cool. We're going to see all this stuff. I'm going to get from the uh, uh Estate auction. I'm going to go pick it up and I'll show you here Hey, absolutely Salupi Malibu. Thank you I know there's people that just sit around and hang out Look, sometimes, you know, you guys can't you're on your phone or at your office can't really do anything can't participate I still appreciate you all being there. I know there's a lot of you And anytime just come in drop a comment if you have a question or want to say something It's just it's a cool place.  Sorry about that folks. That's my phone not yours So, uh Anyway, let's look some more. This is the main board. So in the restoration process, I would have gone through and hit the, um hit the Test round with the power supply. So I know at this point, I know, okay at this point, I know that my restoration's going good because I've Restored two-thirds of the the boards and I know that they are working because I've tested them Then I get to pull the bundle of boards out again and then we'll be working on this. Uh, sorry this Hey, yarmé I think I said that right Kaiser for life adam. Thank you Oh, well, that's all right. We'll figure it out All right, so this is yeah, this is kind of this might be similar to the boards you're looking at But you'll see a similar board to one you're looking at later. This one's an earlier model So this is still has a lot of jumper wires run on the board This was the most egregious thing check this out I went in here and I found that this board too had been unfortunately worked on in the past. Look at this terrible work I don't know how this board didn't short out first off because somebody had changed c586 here and never clipped The legs off the capacitor Look, how did it not hit? How did this point? Right here Not short out. It is a literal Miracle folks. This is a miracle. That's what I was trying to tell the owner. I was like, holy crap I cannot believe That we didn't have a major issue when I found that not to mention look at the terrible terrible work over here on 584 Uh, it's like it's just hideous man Yeah, he should have given up like I can't believe he got this thing running should have been fired Uh, I would never expect to have anybody could do that You know, there's another picture of it. Just blew me away Totally should have just blown up the crt So removed all the caps in the cap kit. This is like a 25 cap fit replacement But some of this stuff was damaged. This is the 584. I told you he they butchered You can see there. They're the the top half of the The component is is damaged now That's means the whole the hole was gone So I had to scrape off and expose a little lead To get that repaired But that's what it looks like with all the caps removed from the kit there's a look inside there And there's a look at the holes I'll show you what I think I go closer to 584 after If I if I do I'm if I don't I'm crazy. There's 529 523 5 579 for example, there's another one that was messed up. I found Been tampered with see how it's burned up Um 85 is up there 84 is like right above the picture. So let's see 88 there's 84. Look at what was left there Look at what was left there. My goodness. Isn't that awful depressing? These are the people you don't want working on your machines It's so breathtaking Now thankfully this is not an issue where it's just destroyed or anything. I mean if this happens It's not that big of a deal Okay, because you can just go ahead and print your component And you have to make sure it's just on all the traces. So you have to rebuild traces if you if you've done this but It's just sad New caps installed. It looks like here. Yep. See that's the new caps um, you can tell Right there. There's that one. See that's the c584 I had to lean it on its side so I can make sure and have it The solder on the both sides of the board since the trace was damaged There's the bottom part I replaced the caps more look at the cap kit There's How it looks after I reworked it now. I also had see that's my rework afterwards So it's not like I said, I didn't even have to run a jumper here I was able to get this all cleaned off and basically rebuild it Um, but it's just It's going to be difficult if it needs to be recapped again after this Just another picture of finished product. There it is This is what the tube looks like after now, I don't sit there and I spend about an hour adjusting sets and that's about the limit for the The kit I sell or the service I provide Because I don't spend too much time Doing adjustments. I get it to where it can be adjusted If you want to tweak it further, especially something like this with a service menu Very possible We'll probably see these pictures a few times. So this is uh This tube is actually at lower line count. I think it's like 450 400. Hey guys. Hey jake. It's okay It's okay if you're late It does have a little bit of a softer image not too soft, but a little bit softer than the one Um, the rest of them are 600 line monitors that I've been working on Still looks really good I mean, thankfully we were able to save this one. The guy was really happy And I put a lot a little extra work into it such a nice guy too because he's like I didn't say anything about it. You know, sometimes you do these jobs and and uh It takes a little more time than you anticipate you do a little bit extra work I just kept in touch with him and let him know everything was going on and uh I was like man, you know, I really It wasn't overblown by a lot But you know, I try to when I give a job and I do a price I try to base it off real time real labor rates Base it off a labor rate You have to be a patreon member And then you get a labor rate from me and I try to package that in a way that it's like a similar cost Because there's all similar work jobs most of the time Sometimes though you get into something that needs more work And that was what this one was and the guy was nice. Just I mean, I'd I didn't say anything to him He offered me a tip Included it with his payment and I was you know, I was like, oh, that's really nice of you You didn't have to say do that or anything and um But even though I had to put the extra work in I wasn't gonna go Unless it's something that we had talked about before possibility of extra work being done Uh, this was in that wheelhouse of what we had already discussed So I didn't you know, I wasn't putting up in my price midway through the job like that Thanks Belmont I appreciate it, buddy All right, there's a look inside Pretty sure this is after I serviced yep cleaned everything up It's definitely needed a lot of cleaning also That's what everything looks like reassembled Get those cables run correctly double check everything check all your stuff make sure nothing's shorted out And there you go Hahaha There you go, so Here's uh the power supply and I like to prop it out on its side like that for testing Just because it gives you a nice room to make adjustments also if you need to add convergent strips But this one's from look at this one's from 94 march of 94 And it doesn't look like the same crt. I mean it looks like a brand new CRT after it's done pretty much, right? There it is. Let me know what this video so shows Let me turn the volume off, but yeah, you can see there's a little video of it working So yeah, hey, I'll keep hanging out for a little while. I don't mind. I mean we've gone about an hour This is about the normal show length um Oh, they're just uh moderators And it's not I don't have like channel memberships or anything for This channel the only thing I do is if you want to go support the channel and Then you can go follow the links in the description for the stream and jump on patreon And you can join for a dollar a month if you want to As little as that and then you can also see there's other things to do in there And we have a whole community also on discord and like I said the other place You don't have to pay anything to follow me on twitter either if you want extra stuff Yeah, we don't even know if you guys probably ever had to do anything time out anybody or anything I don't know. So they they didn't have he didn't have the the owner had the uh I think that's it for that one. Yeah, that's it. So it's pretty much finished standard not standard I mean did have extra extra work did have to do the uh Tube analysis and rejuvenation, but that was more of research for me. So I kind of comped that work Because now I can accurately price that and know how long that takes Cole is just snoring away still well hang out a little longer and go through a couple more of these Listen to him back there little Oh goodness gracious, so Yep, let's go back to So also just to show you like the service notes for this one how cool is this I include this with everybody's Stuff that gets work done So this is just a document It says your pvm or crt that you got the model the serial number the born date The dates it was serviced and it gives a list of all the services I've done And I even go through here and I say like for example three boards were recapped board one a main board I replaced 20 capacitors board two Two capacitors because that's all that was on that board board three 19 capacitors because that's a lot for a power supply and a pvm every one was listed Reassembled adjustments performed and some notes here On what else I did on the crt So that's that's something that comes That I do I don't think anybody else does that really and uh I try to still stand out kind of by doing that and offering like a service level that no one else kind of offers Next one, let's take a look at the service notes here for this one. This was a 1953 md So again This is the same monitor family because it's in the 50 series But this is a 53 md. So it's better It's got a higher resolution too. It's 19 inches It's my medical unit. So it has an extra input for component video or rgb. It is all all these are only analog. Okay So There again all the stuff that was done all the capacitors that were changed Let's go look at some pictures It starts the same way You open it up Take a look inside I think it's very helpful for people to If you take pictures and then you show them this stuff I'm not afraid to show people my work. I think that's Something most people should be proud of if they do a good job So this board we're starting with the neck board same process It's what it looks like before it's never been touched You can tell the the solder on the neck socket. That's It's going to become an issue in 10 years or something. So I will go ahead and reflow solder on this and the power supply It's removed. That's how you properly remove and clean a cap. Okay That's how it should look if you can do it right The same thing over here How are we doing out there everybody? You haven't fun yet on this friday. Appreciate you being here. Thank you so much It's been a fun show If you have just stopped in please do us a favor and drop a like I know that I always say it and uh um It sounds repetitive and boring But every time you click the like button it it results in about 8 to 10 new views for this video And the show and I'm still trying to keep momentum going I'm gonna have to take a break in a couple weeks, but I'm not worried about that till we get closer to that time It'll be like a season break and then we'll come right back swinging for the fences So there it is the custom cap kit. It's all done Back in the spot to test out Look at that beautiful brush solder Ha ha Here we go solder solder Tested to work Next so we test it works good We have the power supply power supply caps That might have changed all of them on this board Yep, I haven't changed the big filter cap on this one because it's not the same as the other Ronnie if you have to gauzing Ronnie asks, how do you remove? Purity issues you may have to adjust the purity rings. Let me show you on the crt right beside me So the the purity rings are on to be on the back of this crt Probably show you just as fine from my face And there's the first set of rings that are two on this neck board on this neck area and Those two rings right there are set. They set the purity So sometimes that gets unbalanced in the tube So you have to break those apart and adjust those manually and watch what happens on the screen Other times you have to add small magnets And you might notice on the back of your tube. There are small magnets sometimes and that helps balance purity but That's really it You got to try to use magnets. You got to try to balance the yoke in the tube. Otherwise Um, that's really the only way to combat that Okay Back to the power supply. It's going to be the same kind of thing, right? There's all the caps. They're out They're old They're gone. They've served this country well And thankfully this had not been touched. Okay Yeah, screen tilt is also only the yoke Now there are some monitors There are some monitors that will have a screen tilt feature that you can adjust in the service menu, but if not Then that is all again the yoke itself And what can happen is it's either set improperly Or it it moves and it turns a little bit and your screen goes tilted a little bit So you have to actually While it's turned on try to set it. Hey james won't come in happy friday. Thanks for coming So the caps out cleaned the board. Like I said, thankfully this crt The other ones had not been serviced before so nobody really been inside them And that's a good thing generally speaking because most of most work I I've not tried to be mean It's very rare that you see even professional work done on these From the 90s and 2000s and a lot of times it's even it's very bad just like the last monitor That was not something I've been done recently by someone that had been done years ago years ago So there you go some amazing reflowed solder board right there cleaned up afterwards Now some people ask like, how do you get it so clean? Right? It's not that tricky.  That's what I lay it on. I clean the board scrub it a little bit Most of it is I spray a little I just squirt a little bit of alcohol on that board and scrub it with this little esd brush looks like a toothbrush almost and That's most of it. I've already shown you the other things I do to clean with And then you can dab with these ink Printer cleaner swabs with alcohol and that's it. It's not like some tricky Hey chris What's up? I'm not uh, it's not some trick So there you go. That's how you get it clean Oh that dog. Oh that dog. Let's go see what he's doing. There he is. Yep. He's snoring snoring snoring Snoring away There's the board being tested. There's the other board back in spot Now that's something I didn't show that's how I get that main board out. That's a different picture So I actually take it's one reason to leave that power supply out It's easier to pull this whole board as a bundle and deal with it like that So I generally take the neck board even though I've already serviced it Take the neck put input board all as one piece. See that's all just together like that Then I break the board out And this is gonna be pretty similar to the last looking It's like all the same even though it's a different monitor might have a different cap Build out in some of these areas not much though One or two caps are different But thankfully no damage was done to this one. There's all the old caps Such old caps look like big hunk of solder Installed new capacitors.  So I just wonder how it went ahead and reflowed solder on every transformer And every inductor coil which there's about a half a dozen of them on the board So I reflowed all the solder on there Like see let me show you what I'm talking about Obviously this flyback is a transformer, but you have another tiny transformer right here In your screen. There's one up here at the top of your screen. That's three transformers right there This is an inductor coil. This is an inductor coil And this is an inductor coil This is an inductor coil. This is an inductor coil. So there's like those coils can vibrate also making noise I've not done that scrollings. I've not tried to repair glass much Yeah, just take your time if you're ever working on something like this It doesn't even have to be a crt. Just take your time in general Unless you're like in a rush You've got to be careful with this thing. So you only get one shot at doing like electronic stuff right most of the time Because if you do it wrong and you power it on it could damage things and make it very difficult to figure out what's happened And I've had a few patreon members unfortunately going through that right now Where it's like something happened in the process of restoring it and It's just Yeah There you go snuffer stuff for if you're in a rush. Yeah, you can go ahead and do it poorly, right Cleaned up everything's good Nice looking screen Pictures never do it justice. Now again, you're not going to get the geometry perfect even on this The edges are not perfect The reason you see a black space on the sides there is because I set it to four by three aspect ratio I just try to tidy up everything as much as I can I think I explained that last time we were looking at the exact same pictures And I again, I love to use the same stupid shots from Metroid Makes it consistent I don't know when the when to take pictures, right? But there's some good photographs here came out on this one There's one more important thing on this one. Now.  I still owe you something I need to get some aerial to send me some more work working on logo stuff I need to get him to send me some A box of cake Stickers so I can send you some I actually ran out The last ones I sent were to super guy crt For sending me some stuff And I've run out since then So I have to get with aerial get some stickers made get you some retro tech stickers sent out I'll use stuff So this is the uh This is interesting you get all these labels have been scratched off. I use game saw which is basically mineral spirits, right?  It's my secret three ingredients Look how that perfect how perfectly that looks you don't see a single bit of that left looks amazing It looked so good. I couldn't get rid of that little permanent marker I'm sure there's probably something we could use But I was able to get that super clean now it looks amazing There it is It's just great looking crt.  I got a I guess schedules have been ridiculous since Like last month's been insane The third and final one I finished. Let's see. That's the wrong one. That's the same file. We were just looking at Let's see that was the seventh let's go the ninth the olympus This is a favorite one Hey, Daniel How are we doing? Man, we're doing great. You guys got us all the way up to over 80 likes today. I really appreciate that Everybody so yeah, man, like I said here. I mean this this is there's not much different on this. We'll just roll through this Uh, you can just see the pictures This is an olympus, which is their variant. I've been talking a little bit about the store. I have not So here's the thing like as you can tell I've done all these restorations. I'm trying to get caught up on these restorations my my My service queue is like 20 crt's right now So if you think I mean I'm sitting your bust in my butt if I can do four a week That's like five solid weeks of me working every day And just to get caught up on the list So it's november So I have to finish up a good portion of that list And then my plan is to let the holiday season Go through its cycle Because it's going to be if I do open the store. It's going to be incredibly difficult for me to keep up with my cycle on my servicing and then It's going to be impossible for me to do that and then run the store kind of at the same time I need it to be a little bit slower and also I don't want to do the venture out into that expansion Till january at the earliest simply because it will make things simpler for me on my taxes for the year Unless I just had such a killer year that I should go and invest all this money before the end of the year Which is not going to be so I think that this all needs to be done With the fresh year so it's not going to impact my tax return Which is a mile long. I've got like a stack of returns because I my own business I have my own business. It's just forms after forms after format format format form So it's really a complex thing and I don't want to Throw another stack of forms on there like this much more. So I mean my stack is like this Hi, every time I return something a tax return But I'm still like doing it things were so successful at the convention That I know it's a good idea still Awesome. Yeah, so that's a that's really the way it would have to be now and again, it's going to be I'm going to go. Here's the plan right and once the new year's hits and I catch up on this list after the holidays You know after christmas after Thanksgiving everything cools down. I'll be able to go and start location Negotiating and hunting for sure and it's going to be again This is going to start grassroots as an antique Booth that I can find in an antique mall and the antique mall will either be on its own antique mall thing Or it's going to be within some kind of other marketplace like a farmers market. There's a farmers market here that has Fleet markets inside of it So you get more foot traffic there and I just Have not had the time and I know What's going to happen with it right since it's holiday season They're going to want to charge more for it at this time period. There's going to be more people there What happens is after The holidays are over the more people leave and I know I'd be missing out on good probably sale opportunities But at the same time, I just can't handle them the extra work at this moment I'm going to do yeah, it's going to be a retro store So it's not just going to be crts The thing is I'll probably have three or four crts in there for sale that are like something in Two or three to four two to four. I would say because it's not going to be huge space Uh, and then I'm going to have a bunch of stuff that I have that I have too much of I have tons of video games Tons of retro games consoles things that I just don't ever touch Other devices that are serviced or hopefully checked for working little things Just all kinds of retro tech. It's going to be that And I'll even have collectibles. I have Comics that are worth a lot of money. I can put it in there. I have Um The games too Like a bunch of yeah, like old boom boxes when I serve as stuff I need to I can't just keep a lot of things though the boom boxes. I kind of do want to keep So If you find boom boxes though, yeah, let me know area. I'll be trying to try to uh get a service for you That's the other thing I've really been enjoying working on So let's finish up with this 203 just in case my buddy scott shows up and wants to see his crt on the show Playback But I'll do big episodes I'll do updates on this discussion with the store as they go absolutely It's just hang on and you know if I thought that it was something that Would benefit from some kind of crowd participation. I would maybe Think about that, but I think that would need to be I think this needs to be done in steps And I don't want to make that big of a commitment. I don't want people to be Concerned about the situation with me. I like to do things slow methodical and um I don't mind taking risks, but I try to make the risk as As weak as possible like I try to deflate the Power of the risk as as much as I can with things like that Four caps on this one Just like the last one And I promise these are different pictures Steve you're using the same pictures. It just said them the same people over and over again Oh, come on. I would never do that Kind of integrity Would that be oh There you go. Lovely free float solder There you go refloat solder lots of refloat solder testing baby Got this one now Nope, this one hadn't been worked on before either. So thankfully that was a good thing There's the power supply Cap kit for the power supply. There are a couple caps in this that also don't get changed. They're crazy values If they pass quality control parts inspections, I don't change them 24 af 42 is 42 caps just for power drive and deflection. That's about normal Chris Yeah, that's about the normal size on these kits when you do them all even this one These come out to about 40 to 50 caps on average For the pvms and that's just that's obviously not all of them That's just the targeted kits There's all those bad boys out There's the towel. You even saw it. I just done cleaning. I have the pink beach towel right there in the picture He thought I was kidding. I'm not kidding Got that sucker shined up New caps in there looks good ready to test What do you think of course it tests good Of course it tested good Then the main board There's not much difference. That's the thing I can't You know, I don't do like videos on them because it's the same thing over and over and over again That's a good thing though. If you like, I love this. I love working on this crt. It's like right in my Confidence zone. I've probably restored Hundreds of this Build out same thing reflow the solder on all those points like that back together Bam griffy Home run style There you go. Griffey go long yard. Oh man Walkman's eBay probably unfortunately You'll find the best looking ones there I think that's where I bought my walkman And then I dropped it and cracked it or something stupid cracked a piece off it or something And those things are hard to find Out in the wild I think Unless you do the estate sale, I've been having only success Guys with the estate sales lately I've had a lot of success there, but It's estate sales is where I've been finding it yard sales. It's not yard sales season anymore though Some came out excellent That was the starting that was what it looked like after I did the recap and and Pre-adjustment phase And then this is after the adjustments. We got the aspect ratio fixed up. We got the sides fixed as best I could Convergence tightened super tight convergence on this one focus is really nice to So all those have to be adjusted. There's the colors on that tube looking good Everything's ready and your favorite metroid Metroid pictures for the win I can't tell you how many times I've sent people this one There's another one here. I've sent every time That one I always send that one If I find a briefcase full of cash, I'll be running for the caribbean 14 a f 43. That's a good one A f 43 is a real good one. That's a brown tube, right chris still round tube There you go folks. That's it Love it. That's it. That's three The fourth one is still ongoing. I've gotten through the power supply the neck board They've tested it's actually sitting right over here and I'm tired of taking it at a slower pace. I'm gonna get it done over the weekend And then I gotta do some with all these 40 series because I have got to have five or six of them just sitting around here I don't know what what I'm gonna do with them all This one looks good, man. This one is made. It's super durable. I don't understand what it was about these Four series mds and things and this this build out super durable Super adjustable super fun And uh, that's gonna do it. That's really no it's flat. Okay A f okay Then I'm thinking of something else Hey, that's what I'm thinking That's what I'm thinking I know stuff for stuff for your right, but my I can't I don't know what the heck's going on with my uh My cartridge here my sd to snes I think I need to fix the firmware on it because a lot of my games are not booting anymore on this thing Like they'll boot it and it'll be scrambled roms. I don't know what it's that or my maybe my you know Cart itself is starting to go bad. I've had this thing for probably eight years and I've always used it and So I don't know. Um, I probably should just try to fix the firmware because some games don't even load anymore and and uh, yeah, I think that's probably what it is Uh, like uh The what gave the I'd like Mario Kart and I could never get it reformat the sd card. That might be it too It's been a long time Damn, I bet that is it. I have to take all the roms off and then reformat it New sd cards might be the trick. Let's see what this one is branded. I mean, this is an old school.  You can get these so cheap at eight gigabyte lexar Gosh, it's probably not been formatted and god knows how long All right, everybody we got 83 likes today live that is awesome and I'm sure we're gonna crush it over a hundred Uh After the show goes in playback if you want to watch any lexar sponsor If you want to watch any of this amazing live show, there's a bunker playlist on the channel If you just click over on the home site for Retro tech on the main channel click playlist says the bunker live show And I'm sure we're over 20 episodes now, which is pretty awesome to think This show took a had like a pre-genesis period where I did probably 30 live shows 40 live shows And then I moved into the actual bunker and we've gotten through over 20 now And I just want to keep it going. So I'll be back Monday But what I've got to do is I've got to make it back safely from that estate sale pickup It's an hour from here. So once I get back from that, I'll hopefully show you everybody, uh Yeah, I'll show you everything that I get from there because I've got Uh a trinitron coming a nine inch trinitron That is a consumer set kv Kv 9400 for anybody that wants to go ahead and like get some homework and and look it up That's the crt and then a nice sanyo boombox.
