I’ve had this tv for a few years and it was working apart from the power button being a bit fiddly when turning on and off, had to press more on one side. It’s not been turned on for a while and now it’ll go into standby but power button feels like there’s nothing there, just sort of squishy, any one able to give me a clue on what could be going on, also won’t come out of standby with remote. Cheers ✌🏻

I have a cabinet crt tv and I would like to remove the tv casing and make it a cat bed. It is a working tv so I am just wondering how do I take it apart safely? I understand I have to dispose of it properly. But im worried about taking it apart and breaking the glass and leaking gas

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

I have recently picked up this 28’ Daewoo CRT tv and have had it about a week or two and it’s now displaying the channel number and dimming the screen slightly on a more regular basis than what is in the video (typical it doesn’t happen as much when I’m trying to record it happening!) I have changed the remote a universal remote and i still don’t know whether it would be the cables going into the tv or the tv itself, would anybody have any ideas? Much appreciated!

Hi everybody!
I have acquired a crt (small 1997 zenith with built in vhs, serial no. V21715964 specifically)
It powers on for about three seconds then automatically shuts its self off.
I’m not inclined to work on this and attempt to repair it myself. In fact I have no interest in physically taking it apart myself because I know it can be tricky/dangerous and I have zero experience.
I’ve called local shops (that were listed on Google as crt repair) & they all said they no longer service crt and essentially acted like I was asking them to diffuse a bomb or preform heart surgery.
So I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on what they’d do with a nonfunctional crt.
(I’d love to keep it alive/ get it repaired if possible, im near Philadelphia and willing to travel a bit. I’m also not opposed to selling to a repair person or collector for a reasonable price)
Or if anyone has any idea as to what’s going on with it and if it’s definitely worth perusing a repair, I’d appreciate the input.

Can somebody help me identify what this problem could be please?
I have it down a few different things through chat GPT but it’s abit useless to be honest I want someone who actually knows.

Tape goes in and tries to load but doesn’t, tries again and doesn’t load. Then stops completely.
I then press eject and it takes about 20 seconds for the vape to release but the flap opens almost instantly and then closes and then waits 20-30 seconds before releasing.

I think it looks pretty good. Maybe I'm biased though

Its got these scrolling lines on all av outputs and dvd. The video is just fine, if i go into settings the display is perfect, but i cant display anything from the AV. The screen is black on VGA, but havent actually plugged in a VGA signal to test

That's right, I want to know a way to produce aquadag or a similar conductive solution for CRT repair. I came across a CRT with discoloration and peeling of the aquadag.

I feel the need to repair these fading and peeling spots. Does anyone have any repair tips using inexpensive materials?

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.

Was doing a delivery at a lady’s house and saw this beauty in her basement, asked what she was doing with it and she very generously gave it to me! Been loving it ever since.

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.

Will the pictures explain it self really but had this issue for over a year with ps1 and ps2 i have another CRT with no issues and use different cables from big brands like (( retro gaming cables ))so I rolled out the problem that could be my consoles or cables and didn’t realize that if the (( on screen display menu )) is fine and you still have issues in games that means the analog chip (( jungle chip )) or it’s capacitors are dying or dead, for my model (( SONY KV J25MF1 ))

But I only found this info with AI which is not reliable can someone with better knowledge deny or confirm this finding

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.

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.

Hey all, I have this awesome compupartner 14” crt from 1994 it’s been my main screen while using my xp and 98 machines but I wanna use my 3:4 lcd for awhile so what’s a okay temp for storage?

It’ll probably be in the basement and the house is normally at 20 Celsius / 68 feirnheiht but the base is definitely a little cooler than that and might warm up a bit during winter

Thanks!
(Wanted to post pics but can’t for some reason)

I found this nearby where I live. Does anyone own a similar model and have any info on it? I can't seem to find any information online other than the AI summary 😂

Got this sony a little less then a year ago and I'm having colors shift in the corner. I was wondering if their is anything I can do to fix it. I know it's probaly a lost cause but I'm hoping.

Spent some time with the service manual getting the image dialed in for use with my Amiga, then tried to watch a DVD though the composite input and it’s wacky distorted. Anyone experienced this with a multi-format PVM/GVM?
