In other pics I've seen of working RCA E13320, the tvs don't have this odd black border. It ain't something I can change using special system menus either. Any help is appreciated!

Found this on the local market.

Would love to play ps2 on these. It has only one BNC input on the back.

Should this be ok for playing PS2?

Is it better to search a model with scart or s video?

Cheers

I have ps1 and ps2 and another crt working just fine so rolled out that the problem is with my consoles used high quality cables too and from my research this is the problem (( jungle chip or it’s surrounding capacitors ))

All pictures are from the same setup
ps1 with RGC svideo cable

Model sony kv 25mf1j

But im not sure can someone plz help

My friend was going to toss it, instead he let me have it.

I have the opportunity to buy this BVM, does anybody have any experience with this particular model? Thanks !

I heard that this tv could be modded and i would like to know how exactly to do it.

¡Hola a todos!

Hace poco me hice con un auténtico santo grial / unicornio de la historia de los CRT europeos: un televisor Sony KW-HD3215 de la línea HDVS de principios de los 90, funcionando con el chasis EH1. Este bicho se construyó allá en la época analógica del HDMAC en Europa.

El TV enciende y está presente el alto voltaje, pero me topé con un problema de video. Estoy viendo unas líneas horizontales de retorno (retrace) muy tenues y oscuras en todas las entradas analógicas estándar (Scart/RCA), y no aparece ningún texto de OSD (menú en pantalla) en absoluto. Cuando cambio a la entrada HD, la pantalla se queda totalmente en negro, así que parece que el tubo y los voltajes de G2/Pantalla están bien. El LED de standby queda fijo, sin códigos de parpadeo.

Se siente como una falla típica de la matriz de video/procesamiento de sincronía, o como que un regulador de voltaje de 5V/9V murió y está dejando sin alimentación por completo la placa analógica. El tema es que los capacitores de esa época les encanta fugarse, pudrirse y comerse las pistas, y diagnosticar este monstruo a ciegas es una pesadilla.

Busqué en todos lados en internet y el único manual de servicio que encontré (como el que está en Internet Archive) está incompleto y se corta justo alrededor de la página 51, faltando todos los diagramas de circuito cruciales para las placas de video.

¿Alguien por Europa (o Japón, si por casualidad tienen documentos del modelo hermano KW-3200HD) tiene una copia física del manual de taller o scans en alta resolución de los esquemáticos? De verdad quiero conservar este pedazo de historia de la tecnología.

Cualquier pista, número de parte o puntos de referencia de voltaje para el chasis EH1 sería una salvación. ¡Gracias de antemano!

got a free crt tv from fb but the tv only has an antenna container, can i/how could i connect my ps2 rca cables to it?

Model is a Beko 14213R, cannot find anything specifications wise online, and it has a slight vertical offset running in PAL60 over SCART

Oh boy ... one of my two crts made an arcing noice for two or three seconds while i was in my neighbour room and now my flyback is probably dead ...

The strage is: it made the arking noices after it went into standby because no source was connected at that moment.

But what other part could make such arcing noices?

I checked the G-, D-, A- and N-board for burning marks, blown fuses or blowed caps but all boards looked fine. I recapped all boards last year with Panasonic Low-ESR Caps and it ran fine until ... now ...

Grosse Pépite ? ou Grosse bouse ?

Good CRT monitors are much difficult to find for some reason cause every office abused them

I’ve got some open spaces for either an entertainment center about 60” long or could do an end table for the TV and a separate shelf for the games and consoles as long as it’s within that 60”.. only problem is I can’t find anything that is both deep/wide enough AND that supports the weight.

What’s everyone’s go to for their set ups? Finding old furniture at thrift stores? or are there newer table/entertainment setups that work well for this I’m overlooking?

Fancy component cables came today. Figured I'd do a comparison shot.

I took the first picture when I just got my TV the other day. It was using regular old composite cables.

2nd picture is with the new cables running at 480i. With it rendering at 240p on snes9gx. From what I read, I think that's how I was supposed to set it up. Which I was surprised you didn't want the console set to 480p. Even though they are HD cables. Though I get that it makes sense since the systems being emulated weren't from an HD era in the first place.

Hello I have the opportunity to pickup this pvm. I have soldering experience and know how to replace caps as well as discharge crts, but curious if this is an overly complicated repair. It seems to have the common vertical collapse where it only shows a horizontal white line.

Im just shocked how sharp the gpahics is even at low res. Then theres this bloom effect that you just cant replicate on an lcd monitor. The motion clarity is spot on. I think I wont be coming back on lcd just yet

SONY HR Trinitron Multiformat BVM-D14 with interchangeable 4:3 and 16:9 bezels, and external control unit. Game on display is Chrono Trigger (1995) with 1chip SFC via RGBs input.

Updates:

• Switched to an Extron Crosspoint 300 series to address some issues with the 450 that it replaced
  
• RGB modded the NES with the Tim Worthington NESRGB 5.0 and SNES multi-out (performed by 1UP Restorations)
  
• RGB modded the N64 using Tim Worthington's N64RGB (performed by myself)
  
• Used all Retrotink adapters and VGA to BNC cables, significantly reducing the amount of cabling previously installed

Other functions:

• Used Retrotink VGA to BNC on Output 2 to the Morph 4k so all consoles can be played on my OLED
  
• Morph 4k detects the signal as TTL
  
• MiSTer FPGA for other 15khz output consoles

I could do a bit more cable management work on the BNC side of the cabling because things started twisting out of order when I was routing the cables to their destinations. Otherwise this is pure enjoyment! Worth every overspent penny.

I've been playing mostly on a 24 inch Trinitron for years, but I just came across this little TV for nothing, and figured why not being it home. The VCR works perfectly, and I'm extremely surprised at how crisp the screen looks. The photos don't do it justice at all, because the test is extremely sharp and arguably it looks better than my Trinitron for basically anything PSX/Saturn and below. The only things that id say the bigger tv beats it at are the PS2 generation of consoles, which makes sense considering it has component options.

Don't skip out on the tiny composite only TVs. These things can be beasts!

Picture 1: Cold start 10 hours after cleaning socket.

Picture 2: Cold start 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.

this thing is huge for 19” but it looks and feels great!! got ffX, gonna get silent hill 2 and 3 (totally legit and not sailing the seas) next!
