How many Crts do you have ha? Curious as you've been doing this good work for years

I used to work as a repairman in a large service center, I remember that very large CRT televisions rarely arrived in the lab, maybe 5 a year, they were expensive and few people could afford them, their brand was mainly Grundig but there were also some Philips and I think there were also some large Toshiba ones. These sets contained CRTs from Mitsubishi or Toshiba but the largest tubes were Mitsubishi. They were too large televisions that I could not put on the table, so I opened them, took out their electronics, which were the same as a normal television, and repaired them on the table. Grundigs always had a lot of soldering to do and I redid it with a lot of tin, and often Grundigs had something defective on the horizontal deflection or on the high voltage, in extreme cases the printed circuit board near the horizontal deflection was carbonized, I had to file away the carbon using a file and in the end I had a big hole on the printed circuit board and then I had to replace the original connections with copper wires. The big Grundigs had a designation M95..., M100... or something similar, they had a motherboard and on this were inserted various cards/modules. In the last years of existence of Grundig they also produced very large models with 16:9 cathode ray tubes, of these televisions I have repaired only a few, I don't remember what brand of tube they had, however if it wasn't Mitsubishi it was Toshiba.

I'm picking up a sony wega KV-30HS420 tomorrow. Will the light gun work on that one as well?

You're quest really looks like you are running a stray cat shelter. You must have cleaned tons of gunk from all those neglected pieces of tech. I recently came in a farm where the owner had collected TV's in an open unheated shed. I drove away as fast as possible. It was a nightmare in there with bird poo, dust, rust and stink.

I can understand these ugly beasts are trashed. Even as CRT lover it is hard to feel some love for these models myself. For me 24" is the absolute max, I've one 1984 Philips 29" because it is the GOAT, and one 32" because it won't leave (85kg), all others are smaller. These flat Sony's are even heavier than the curved ones, have loathable case designs, more geometry issues and there are many budget late flat models that don't have all the basics like S-video, proper stereo or full geometry/color controls. That last bit seems ok here.

Someone has one for sale on my fb marketplace at £75 but doesnt turn on do u think it could be an easy fix or leave it

I have a very similar set with identical design and menus, thing is I lack the option to switch between 16:9 & 4:3 through the OSD. Checked the service manual for Vestel 11AK19 but I can't find anything that could enable the switching in the options bytes. Is this also a Vestel11Ak19 or something newer?

Hi, I love old Philips. Could you make a video about the Philips 25 GR 6771/79R TV with a demonstration of TV channels and VHS videos? I can't find any reviews for this TV anywhere. I would be very grateful. Thanks, good luck.

my dream is to find a good HD CRT with an HDMI. I know they made some at the very end of CRTs

Thanks for sharing, Rob! Never been a fan of Sony CRTs as every flat consumer one I've come across have pretty poor geometry. The Panasonic TAU have always looked better to me, color and geometry. Keep the uploads coming! Greetings from Kentucky, USA

I don’t have remote! Any chance to access menu without it?

Hey Rob great vid! I recently picked up one of these bad boys and your video has been very informative and helpful. I just have a few questions; 1. What is the serial of the remote you are using? I picked mine up without a remote and so I can't access the service menu. I've heard that trinitron remotes can be universal depending on the model and I was thinking otherwise i might pick up a RM-W104 or RM-857 and see if that works. 2. Does the tv have cross hatch built in? Or are you using a test dvd? If it is the former, how do you access it? Thanks for any help you can give. Keep up the good work!

Hi Rob! Really considering getting a 7000 and I've seen you test it here with a Saturn lightgun game. What I'd love to know is if it'll work with a Dreamcast lightgun as well. That may sound like a dumb question because there might not be any difference but I'm new to the whole B&O scene and I've read quite a few times that people have problems specifically with lightguns on their B&O MXs because of the second screen. And seeing as I'd mainly get a CRT for House of the Dead 2 on the Dreamcast, I wouldn't want to haul home the wrong TV XD I'd be thankful for any tips. Thanks!

I just scored myself the blue one in mint condition and it comes with the same remote as yours but in white so I’m guessing it’s the original remote 🤷🏻

Everyday I'm on facebook marketplace looking for a later model trinitron for a fair price.. how do you do it.. how do you get so lucky

Fun tv. you can dabble iwth the convergence settings on the yoke to fix the corners a bit i recon. there are pots that you adjust

What a fantastic TV and great to see it cleaned up and working. Those brochures are absolutely gorgeous! Please consider having those scanned and uploaded on the Internet archive.

Good TV, bit surprised someone would just bin a fully working Trinitron these days

Nice TV. Shame it was binned.

Have a happy new year RGB Rob

i've rgb modded this one, it's a great candidate for a mod, very easy to work with. i don't recall if the one i modded had the component input - i don't think it was there actually, leading me to believe it may have been an option. i find it has pretty average composite signal reproduction, but the s-video, component & rgb are wonderful. the service menu is indeed very servicable, with more than enough adjustments to get the image perfect, as expected of a sony unit of this kind.

Hello, I have a Thomson 14MK135 TV. I bought it new from a person. In its original box, with documents. I bought it for retro gaming, and decided to set up the geometry, went to the service menu according to the instructions from the espec website. At first, when I had a MiSTer FPGA connected to the TV, I could not get into the service menu, but as soon as I turned it off, I immediately managed to enter .. and while in the service menu, I launched the MiSTer.. I managed to set up the geometry almost to perfection. After setting up, I restarted the TV using the button on the remote control, everything as in the instructions, the changes were saved .. but after the service menu, all the settings in the normal menu were lost .. the language was reset to English, the brightness and contrast settings were lost .. and the main problem that I can not get rid of is that every time I turn on the TV, the settings menu appears .. namely, on the language selection item. What could this be connected with? Maybe the fact that I forcibly launched the console in NTSC while in the service menu? Perhaps its service menu can only work in PAL. And perhaps the problem is in the firmware.

Imagine a card with an ATSC tuner built in.

I've just acquired one of these, no remote, big downside is no av button on tv itself...

This looks a lot like some Philips sets we got here in Brazil.

I have one,mine seems that the screen image is not uniform, from the middle to the edges,looks like the ''pixels'' are not the same size, my others CRT do not have this problem,i was thinking maybe the grid inside is not ok, the image is straight and has no other problems.

Hi rob, was wondering where in au are u?? Id like to contact u about some crt things ty

Great video…Sony produced a broadcast widescreen CRT for early HDTV. When I worked as a Macintosh tech in Sydney Australia a digital finished art studio had one that was used for digital retouching and checking content for broadcast at 720 and 1080. They didn’t want to pay for a team of removalists to move it from the premises. It was bigger than 40 inches

Wow-as an American,I had to look up what 52 kg was in Imperial. 115 LBS. Back in the day,you had to be a weight lifter to consider this a 'portable' TV. Great review.

Ciao....la modifica và bene anche per i modelli pal? grazie

I think that is the matching remote. I had a lcd tv from 2008 that had the same remote. But it had the same exact style as this TV. Would make sence they would use the same remote. Why change it.

Thanks for the video 👏

I saw this TV live when it was sold. The colors were strange, as if you were watching a low bitrate video. Color depth was like poor quality 6bit monitors. There was a gradient effect in color transitions. There were Loewe CRT TVs next to it and the difference in quality was felt.

The start-up chime sounds a little like the game Galaxian.

Even premium Sony Trinitron doesn't have stereo speakers for sizes way bigger than this. Sony cutting costs as always even to about 2006 when they stopped CRTs.

The deflection angle is insane on these SlimFit tubes. No wonder they have glonky geometry and corner convergence lol

Has any of you guys got a Samsung cb-3373z at any given time? If so, how's the quality? Thank you!

People at first would think that a old lcd but man that's pure genius if the took the projector assembly on the back of the tube and move the motherboard part to the main motherboard it could be slimmer

this crt looks like an samsung lcd monitor/tv

Very late Samsung CRT from 2007 according to the main board's date code.

I did have a 21 inch version of this from 2010 they were sold over here in Algeria all the way to 2013 there were three varieties some came with RGB RCA inputs like the one you have some came with RGB Scart and some came with HD depending on the model and size of the set however they all suffered from a type of I'd say manufacturing defect after some years of regular use the left and right edges started bowing in and I think the problem got something to do with a certain jungle chip

My Grandpa's Samsung LCD TV in the guest room has almost identical styling and makes the same exact startup sound. The settings menu looks the same as my 2005 Samsung 15in 4x3 LCD TV (LT-P1545

That TV sas no SCART :D

It looks pretty nice, and now I see where they got inspo for their plasma designs from.

I found the same model but mine is missing the lock for the convergence rings so they spin freely. I'm thinking of glueing them but I need to find time to fix the convergence first.

Slim fits are a trap for young players. Picked up a couple for free and they all had bad linearity for 2d scrollers. Serviceable for 3d light gun games in the mancave.

How to get RGB from a Sony Profeel KX-20PS1? I just picked the same monitor up and saw you assisted someone on a old forum post. Can you please help me?

Thanks for service code it worked on my 32pw8808 79r, nice to know mine has 6000 hrs.

If you do a google image search for 'metz vga cable' you get a picture of what the pinout of the vga and scart ends of the cable are. Then you just need a vga and scart cable and splice em together I recon :)

i have the CTT tube but assemebled locally under a different name, it has 2 Scart but no speaker out though, i love it since it was my childhood TV since late 90s
