Hey everyone. Here is the PVM I've been working through this week. This one was made in 1992 so it needed a recap desperately. I was able to develop an abbreviated cap kit for it. I've included a picture of the cap list for this model monitor.

The bezel repair has held up well. Here are pictures of the complete repair. This JB Weld worked great!
More to come. Thanks
Steve
I had a PVM bezel that was damaged while be shipped to me. The bezel had separated from the CRT. Since I found all the parts, I thought I'd try rebuilding the bezel. I used the strongest epoxy I could buy and repaired the corners. It's cured out and ready for a tube test fitting. More to come.
Thanks
It's back together and working amazingly well! The cap kits works! I will have to calibrate it some, but 1st I need the remote.
More to come....
Steve
I finished installing my Nichicon Cap Kit for the JVC AV36D501. It took about 3 hours to complete. Now I need to clean off the remaining dust and flux residue. Then I can reassemble and finally test this TV out!
More coming soon......
Steve
Hey everyone. Here is the first JVC restoration video for the JVC 36" D Series Consumer CRT. This will be ad free for a couple days and will be released to YouTube early next week with ads.

I cleaned up the boards today as I eagerly await the delivery of my cap kit. I had to develop this kit from scratch. That's done by individually documenting each cap position and value from inspecting the boards. Then I have to compile an organized order sheet. Next I go to a parts website, personally I use mouser.com. I make a custom order for the CRT by personally selecting each capvitor. I try to always use a Nichicon replacement cap with a High Temperature tolerance.
More upd...

Hey everybody. In case you missed it, this is the Patreon exclusive presentation on the CRT Master Class I did on my convention tour in 2019. I have been out of town this week, but will be back with some new videos and restorations soon. The first project will be the JVC D-Series Consumer CRT, but I've also got to restore a 20L5, a 1943md, a 14m2, a few BVMs and much more. Should be a busy winter. Thanks again for your support.

I found this old clip while I was working on my new CRT masterclass presentation. Unfortunately I found it second hand and could not find the original author/artist so I'll keep this clip a Patreon Exclusive. Interesting thing is that CRT technology actually started earlier than this clip sites. The origin of the Cathode Ray dates back to 1850!

Hey, so here are the PVMs and other monitors I got today from the recycler. Now I need to test them because they are all really old, but for some reason there was a BKM 68X on the lot! Het I'm not complaining. What a day!

Hey everyone. I have some amazing news. I received a message this morning from my Monitor supplier. He has a couple pallets worth of Sony Pro CRT monitors ready for me to come pick up. Most of them appear to be 8" PVMs, but there are a few larger models in the pictures he sent me. I'll be picking them up this week and will make a video about the haul. I will also put together a list of the models that will be sold. Look for more to come.

Hi everyone. Here is my latest video from a repair I finished a couple weeks ago. Thanks again Milo for bringing these monitors by the shop. Thank you to everyone for the support and please let me know if you need anything. I'm pretty booked up for the next 3 weeks with the upcoming trade show, but still will be glad to help.
Thanks again.
