I have been at this work since I was 10, am an engineering, and have returned to restoring. With all that, your depth of experience and knowledge show me new things. The best engineers know that will never see it all and know it all; the universe is vast. I am often reminded. Thank you for your efforts to reach to me.
I’ve got that same combo, I’ve found them both to be quite flaky. They will work for a little bit then kick off. Sometimes a power cycle brings it back other times not. Suspect relays need to be cleaned or replaced
You're right. A guy selling some of them with the cable was calling them DB-15. Which really means a three row 15 pinout connector also known as VGA. The correct connector has two rows only.
just scored a vg91 and vg92 off the evilbay. had to buy the cable but didnt know it was a standard db15 cable. waiting to see if they fire up as soon as I get the power cables replaced. Im hoping they will serve me well as bob just mentioned they dont work as well with the older stuff.
Depends what you are doing. The older 22MHz IF frequencies are not supported at all. Otherwise, they are excellent for RF and video injection or newer 44 MHz IF
@@bandersentv well honestly I saw your videos and thought hmmmmm can I get that to work.........vg91 comes on, tva92 does not and Im not even sure if Im doing that db15 cable connection correctly
tva92 isnt supposed to come on unless the db15 cable is connected if Im right. syncronizing input and output jacks on vg91 and syncronizing output jack on tva92.
Nice kit ! I would get a working TV and start to practice buy substituting various signals and stuff, that would be great to see if you had the time and would be a great tutorial for all of us, well me at least !...cheers.
@@bandersentv People messing with us again in the electronics and computer community. Correctly its a DA-15 then DB-25 apparently we been saying it all wrong for the 15 pinout plug for B is used for the 25 pinout plug only. Then DC-37 for the 37 pinout ,etc. All are two rows of pins. The DB-15 is actually a three row VGA plug only. Never knew that.
There is a master (he-he) -slave relationship with the VG91 to TVA92 using a male to male DA15 D-sub cable. The proper equipment needed to show what the TV is doing ,bad or good, is expensive but worth it! Saw Shango's use of them together in one of his videos 6 months ago. He is the man. Can't wait to see what things you will discover about your Meck using them.
@@bandersentv did I screw it up if I connected it to the top connector of the tva92? If not then it doesnt work anyway assuming all knob settings dont mater.
There's a pull out quick user guide builtin. Forgot to show it. VG91 has one as well. Also Shango kindly photographed every page of his manual and sent it to me. 👍

Chroma works with the color circuits; there may be a 3.58MHz signal around there somewhere.
To be exact, that's a DA-15 connector, not DB-15. But most people call any size of D-sub connector "DB-__".

Yes, including the seller I got it from. Thank you for the correction. All these years I had no idea.

A very good addition to your bench!
i still have a sencore va62 and a part machine to keep it running

You'll soon see me use it with the Meck.
What a great piece of equipment that you will get great use of in your shop Bob!
I just ran across both of these new in the box last week. Yard sale. $12 for both. Lol
trying to get the tva92 to even come on. not sure exactly how to hook the cable up
well my vg91 fires up but I have no idea why the tva92 isnt firing up, I have the cable connected vg91 out to tva92 in on the back of it
DB15: Yep ... sometimes it's that straight forward ...
Yeah, I was assuming they used a custom cable so you'd have to purchase theirs. Glad I was wrong.

Early 2000’s, late 90s? Thats the time period it looks like to me.
It does, but I suspect it made be a bit older. I'll do a follow up and pop the cover off. I'm curious to see what's inside.
I’ve got a couple intelligent systems, Inc. 8001 - G. Very rare model. One has bad tube. Would the best of some help with things like that?
assuming the cable goes from vg91 to tva92? vg91 has input and output so not sure which da-15 jack to use out put or input
Bottom connector on tva92

Good deal! Now, you have to hunt down a user, and service manual.

@@bandersentv hey Bob, I’m missing the manual for mine too. Any chance you could forward what shango sent you I think you have my e,ail thanks!y
what did you have to do to get yours to turn on
Connect cable the VG91 and plug both into outlets is all. Kinda of annoying actually as there is no way to turn the TVA92 off independently
looks like something very useful. Bob.
Yes
I know!
Looks like good equipment
I don't like shango066 so don't watch his videos.
Shango marches to his own drummer, but he’s generous about sharing his knowledge.
I have grown to like him after initially not being too keen. He is very knowledgeable and I quite like his sense oh humour.
