I was sheding tears already, but when I saw the box with "Made in Japan" I literally lost it. I've been there, I've seen and bought some of their retro gear, old but looking like straight from factory. It's insane how they care for this stuff. Everything has a soul of it's maker - remember.
Glad that you enjoyed it. I am currently shooting my next project (which will be a little bit more talky but just as pretty), so please do hang around!
I really love the attention to detail in this video. This is hands down one of the best quality videos I have seen! The music choice is perfect too! Keep making em!
Fantastic this video is a work of art. These are so much more interesting than the modern PVM LED or LCD monitors ! Shame at work we don’t get these anymore. But it just shows how technology has moved on. Long live the Trinitron !
Otaku+ I very much did ! Did you buy the replacement tube from Sony themselves or find a replacement elsewhere ! I know Sony are pretty good in terms of getting parts for some what obsolete items but of all things I think they still wouldn’t make tubes for these still.
Thank you very much! The other monitors shown during the last shot are units which I have previously serviced. Most of them have since been resold but I recently came into possession of an immense broadcast monitor collection (more than 190 units), so those will almost certainly appear in future content. Here are a few photos: imgur.com/gallery/g5mZz9M
@@WeebLabs WOW, that's a lot of CRT's! Looks like you might have some linear editing equipment there too! Looks like enough projects to last for quite a while...
It's been a long long time. I hope your life is going great. Ive been here since 2011. Are you still doing awesome CGI work? I live the videos! Please do more content!
Love these 5/6" PVM's Would love to own one some day Recently got a BVM-9044D that I have been doing some repairs too. mostly damage from Hermes :| They decided it would be best dropped on the left side shattering all the PCB board mounting hinge things. thankfully still works and tube seems to be in good condition too. EX-BBC too Lot of glue/epoxy was used to repair it enough to be used once again
Amazing video!! Love the cinematography! Would love to pick one of these up but they are pretty difficult to come by, especially in good condition. You wouldn't happen to have one of these for sale by chance? Thank you! And again great video!
awesome video! I just inherited a 8045Q. The only issue is that the underscan button stopped working after a couple of presses and is now stuck in underscan. Do you have any tips for repairing/troubleshooting buttons on the front panel? it seems like its pretty easy to service on the smaller PVMs but im very new to this stuff. Thanks again for the awesome video!
Saw your video a while ago. Just brilliant work. Today I got my 6041QM and now I'm back at this video for some assistance. Did you find where H.STAT is situated? Service manual points to neckboard but nothing is there.
Thats the Horizontal centre POT, while your there resolder all the rear connections and all tube base, give the PSU a service, on the video board change the 2 trimming capacitors down by 2 crystals below where rgb cathodes plug in from tube base board, if orange body with silver metal cross head these fail and cause picture to go black and white, very common, 11pf is the value Sony sent us to service these, if both already a blue body they are done / ok, one is for NTSC other is for PAL, if pucture starts to shrink in vertical height change the electrolytic capacitors on the psu regulator / deflection side board around the 2 heatsinks in middle of the board, these fail alot if used in the banks of 3 in a rack in an OB truck, middle monitor gets a bit toasty even the pcb plastic support deforms, used to repair these for a living, still got 50-60 odd in my workshop, got lots of BVM-14 series, 9041-9045, 6041s, 1452 etc, great Trinitron monitors, the tubes do suffer thou if dropped, had a BVM in that one side of apature grill jumped of stud inside the tube, gave freeky colours.
3:42 - What is it that you're doing here to distort the screen? I've got an issue with the bottom right corner on my PVM 9041QM being arched in slightly and it looks like this might sort it. Absolutely fantastic video!
Where can I buy one of these CRT PVM? and I mean completely refurbished all parts brand new? so it would last me 30 years? and what would be the cost? or should I buy a used one and just buy parts as needed and learn to repair on my own?
The CRT is running at 60Hz and so a certain degree of flicker is visible to the eye but the black line seen in this video is not. It is the result of a very slight shutter speed mismatch, which was a compromise that I had to make at the time for the motion control shots. I had originally intended to correct it in post but wanted to upload the video more or less in time for Christmas.
@@WeebLabs Very cool. Thanks for the thorough response! I would personally love to make a home for one of these, however the bizarre size (16" deep, 5" screen) makes it a little difficult to find placement for...
Replacement tubes are no longer being manufactured; this one was new old stock. The original tube had been in use for at least 100,000 hours and was extremely dim with severe burn-in.
That was the defective horizontal centering potentiometer. As I tapped the PCB to locate the problem (percussive diagnosis), the wiper within the potentiometer's shell shifted and produced the behavior seen at 0:53.
And that's another CRT saved from the scrapyard... Most people would have just thrown it away EDIT: From that footage in the end it looks extremely sharp too
@@WeebLabs at ua-cam.com/video/BtRFs0oOzxg/v-deo.html what are you doing? I know these tubes has electrical charges that can kill you. What are you doing in this moment?
@@brunodicolla I was tapping the PCBs with a pen in order to demonstrate one of the problems with the display, which was a cracked solder joint on the horizontal centering potentiometer. It is a common misconception that the tube in an unpowered CRT monitor carries a lethal charge. The tube itself actually has only a few hundred picofarads of capacitance and while this is certainly adequate to give you a rather painful bite, it does not have the capacity to cause permanent harm to you. The flyback transformer in a powered CRT monitor is capable of delivering several milliamps of constant current. This could give you a rather nasty burn but would not normally be life threatening. When working on a CRT, the power supply and horizontal deflection circuits should be your primary concern; not the tube itself. Certain manufacturers may not have taken the precaution of adding discharge resistors to the input filtering capacitors (or they may have failed) and coming into contact with those could genuinely be lethal.
Most of the capacitors were perfectly within specification but I did replace a few of the usual suspects in the deflection signal chain. Can't have the beam current feedback pattern creeping down into the raster! :P
Not showing discharging of the tube and cutting into the cap sealant with a conductive knife. Not wearing high voltage gloves while playing with convergence strips. Really encouraging dangerous activities here, for the sake of pretty cinematography.
Hello Patrick. This is not an instructional video and so does not show each individual step of the process but all servicing is carried out in exactly the same manner which it would otherwise have been, were it taking place off camera. It was not necessary for me to discharge this tube, as I know it to be self-discharging and separating the anode cap RTV using a conductive implement is perfectly safe. Even if this monitor had not been discharged, the aquadag coatings in the tube exhibit only as few hundred picofarads of capacitance and contrary to popular opinion are not directly capable of causing harm. Regarding the convergence strips, all yoke components in that vicinity are insulated and so the use of gloves would be both unnecessary and detrimental to one's placement accuracy. In a typical CRT monitor, it is the mains power supply which most often poses a danger and not the FBT or deflection output. I hope this clears things up for you and thanks for watching!
@@WeebLabs Everything you had said is all beyond me, but I'll take your word for it. I do appreciate seeing you respond to the original commentor with a well thought out and respectful reply though. Great job all around. I've watched this video probably dozens of times now. Cinematography is on point, but mostly, the song is great (love the 80s vibe, despite this PVM being released in the 90s or 2000s) and I was hyping myself up to get that exact little pvm. Got it now and I love it.
Why not stop by the Discord? The more, the merrier! discord.io/weeblabs
Dang, I was not expecting such great cinematography, well done!
Thank you!
This is the best video on UA-cam. Possibly NSFW.
Thank you!
Did you mean this 3:17 by NSFW?
Honestly, I couldn't agree with you more! When the camera went inside the box I screamed!
This was beautiful. I was expecting a repair vid, and got a work of art instead. Nice surprise. Thanks for making this!
Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
This is like a Hollywood movie!
That was one of the most professional and beautiful videos I've seen.
Thank you very much! I couldn't find any cinematics of CRT repair, so wanted to do something a little bit unique.
@@WeebLabs I was going to do one so had a looked and can't compete with this so didn't bother lol amazing tho bro!

Thank you! I’m glad that you enjoyed it.
aesthetically pleasing video
The shots/montage/editing everything in this video is superb! I come back to this video from time to time :)
That's was way better then it should of been. Very nicely done!
LOL was never expecting this much passion into repairing a CRT so retro damn!!!!!!!!! I wonder if the Sony bosses ever saw this video
Just gorgeous, the PVM deserves a video this beautiful
One video per year but with outstanding quality. We need more of those on this platform : D
Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful video. Great production.

I purchased the tube from a supplier in the Netherlands. Sony is definitely not offering replacement parts for these monitors, unfortunately.
I wouldn't have thought that a video about a television (and it's repair) would affect me like that. Amazing video!!

Much respect I wouldn't dare touch any crt or pvm but it came out beautifully I hope to own a 8 or 9" pvm for retro gaming on my desk.
Damn dude! nice work!

Is the flickering at the end actually visible on the screen during use? Or is it an exaggerated flicker caused by the camera recording?

Replacement tubes are no longer being manufactured; this one was new old stock. The original tube had been in use for at least 100,000 hours and was extremely dim with severe burn-in.
@@WeebLabs Oh I see, very nice
just wondering, what are you doing in 0:53 - 0:58? what causes the screen to flicker?
That was the defective horizontal centering potentiometer. As I tapped the PCB to locate the problem (percussive diagnosis), the wiper within the potentiometer's shell shifted and produced the behavior seen at 0:53.
