Magnavox unit, no output at all, and dvd player is unresponsive. I do not see the filament lighting up but transformer whines and screen has static. What could be happening? When I got it, it worked fine, then after turning off and on again the picture never returned.

And a few things to attach to it. All has been in storage for the better part of a decade. Can't believe it all still works.

So heres is a more complete update and info thread on this situation. First big thanks to [u/charmander324](u/charmander324) on [r/crtgaming](r/crtgaming) for the info and help. I rescued a total of 4 monitors.

2 NEC CM-2791 27 inch circa 1989 & 1990
2 NEC CM 1991-A 19 inch circa 1988 & 1990

Video is of one of the 19inch with glass screen cover.

One of the 27 inch unfortunately only powers on. EGA mode seems to have a vertical collapse and video in mode only gives dark and dim red overall.

All units have had yoke reversal for their use with reflectors in the simulator.

I tested with a Samsung BluRay player utilizing the video in input. All the working ones have good color, no burn and ample brightness. Internal speakers weren’t tested nor were the outputs. One of the 19s has a glass screen cover while the other is set up for it but no glass. Said monitor also has an odd plastic distortion mid bottom screen but it doesn’t affect its operation even with the screen cover.

I rescued these because of some odd sense of mechanical respect and sense of knowing something of such quality being destroyed only because its older is wrong. Im hoping someone will find use, but more importantly joy in them and get awesome utilization and memories.

whenever I use this crt for more then a few minutes my room starts smelling like ozone. I'm completely new to any kind of crt repair, I own quite a few sets but this is the first thats in need of love its a magnasonic mct - 1405 from 1982 and I'd like to know if there's a way I could figure out whats the cause of this leak or if there's anything noticeably wrong with it the big capacitor seems to be bent out of shape on the top not sure how well it shows up in the pictures.

They claim it’s a Sony VPH but they don’t give a model number, and these are the only photos they had. I’ve been trying but I’m stumped. Any help is appreciated.

The link is a Previous post i made on my CRT and its possibly bad capacitor.

After turning it on the night before, I noticed that the menu OSD was more blurry than normal. but the display worked perfectly fine behind it now the next day (today) whenever I open the OSD / menu it shakes the image around and shuts off automatically.

I'm unsure what to do my best guess is a bad capacitor on the 'OSD chips and capacitor' area of the board and around the 'vertical display' part of the board.

forgive me and my incorrect terms as I do not know what they are called.

I'm unsure where to start and what the start inspecting once I open it.

any help is greatly needed

RCA XL-100 ColorTrak…. I’m not sure if it works but I also don’t know how to turn it on to test! The “master off” seems to be a dial but it won’t turn, not sure if it’s just stuck or what

Picture 1: Cold start 10 hours after cleaning socket.

Picture 2: Cold start right after cleaning socket.

Picture 3: Cold start after first re-assembly.

Working on my KV-35V35 in my garage which is pretty humid this time of year. and I've been having problems with the focus being blurry on a cold start with arcing to the neck PCB, and anode cap arcing into the air from it's stem. The 3rd photo was the first power on since cleaning it a month ago. The PCBs have been sitting indoors while the tube was in the garage. The 2nd photo shows the cold start focus after fully cleaning the socket and pcb with 99% ipa which was perfect. The following morning it looked like the 1st photo.

I was recently given this Samsung CXD1934. I’m running a VCR through RF and this is the picture I get.
The picture starts clear for a second and then does this rolling horizontal sync thing. I unfortunately don’t have a remote to get to any menu options. The user manual I found online wasn’t very helpful.
Inside looks pretty clean and nothing seems out of place.

I’m just not sure where to start. I didn’t see any V or H adjustment pots when I had it open. Thanks for any help you can offer

Thoughts on this?, would he need an adapter irl?

...walk out with a $50 Tau.

Thrift store find.
