CRT (Makvision) image is a large bluish blob. Dead, or repairable?
jennifer:
In fact here is one...Notice down on the bottom right there is a setting to remove shorts, as a clean and balance.
jennifer:
As a comparison the Beltron is a far better machine in my opinion, and will fix things most rejuvenators can't even dream about...But again, hard to find.
Zebidee:
Someone on another forum recently restored their Sony PVM with an intermittent heater short by putting the CRT face down/neck high, then repeatedly/gently tapping around the neck/gun assembly (not sure what with, maybe a wooden spoon or something like that). The tapping seemed to dislodge whatever crap was causing the short and problem was resolved.
Could be worth a try.

That's my next attempt... the only short I could prove with the meter were between the two heater pins and this other pin that does not appear to be used by the neckboard... It's the first pin.. or last, depending on how you look at it.

Don't know what kind of sites you guys are hanging out on, but banging on it with a spoon or whatever kinda sounds like a bad idea, even if it works you still got the potential short floating around, and never did address the clean and balance...It's your tube man, Good luck.
