  • This is a set of two Sony PVM 14M2MDU Trinitron CRT Monitors I bought on eBay. I purchased these for a total of $400 plus $120 to ship and had to pay local taxes! It was advertised as tested. Do you think it survived ground shipment? Did I get a good deal? Will I ever stop buying CRTs?

    I do have links to the Degaussing tool in the Description. It is still available through certain electronic suppliers.

    There is something really satisfying about seeing a successful degauss. Well done

    Wait wait wait, Steve I thought you were located in TN? When did you move to Virginia? I am located in Woodbridge up in the northern part of the state. I wouldn't mind making a drive to you to drop off a PVM for a recap/refresh my good man.

    Now I have a really obscure tool that will just lay around forever lol.

    Always a risk shipping a CRT monitor. I’ve bought only a couple shipped and both times, they were damaged. The first one had the entire front bezel shattered and the rear cover had sheared off the screw stand-offs. Thanks for sharing your experience!!

    I got a PVM-1341 from ebay for $350 and $120 shipping and from the photos it was well taken care of only a few marks here and there, and comes with all the original packaging. Seems it came from a production company and they put the pvm's they used in storage 2 decades ago.

    Hey Steve, love the vids. Doing gods work in the crt arena! Can I ask your thoughts on factory reseting a PVM? I've got no menu on 20m2mde, so navigating menus blind. Some have warned me off factory reseting (if I can ever find the right button combo to do that)

    This is fantastic, I have the same monitor (olympus version) and it was $100, but it was sent to me wrapped only in brown paper. It works but has the identical issue as these. I have to find one of these tools that can be shipped to Japan!

    I have a question for you, i'm really struggling with speakers for my CRT setup. The bookshelf speakers I like magnet effects purity of my CRT. Apparently no one makes decent quality shielded speakers anymore. If I setup my speakers as I like then use a degausser tool wand, would that help my speakers and CRT co exist? I already tired the tuna can over the driver and it didn't help.

    Have you read about the recommendation that you use bar-shaped degaussers instead when dealing with Trinitron tubes? According to the one document I read (can't remember if it was from Sony or maybe Mitsubishi), ring-shaped degaussers can cause the aperture grille wires to get criss-crossed.
    But I guess you've fixed quite a few Trinitrons with this degausser at this stage. I take it you've never had any problems?

    what happens if your PVM is stuck a single color
