You are doing AMAZING work! So neat to watch you repair this old tech and make it like new again. Thank you!!

Hi Steve, she looks amazing. Good job as always.

WHOA!!!

TMNT IV Turtles in Time Steve? Was that game displayed for me to get jaw dropped? 8*) You know I still got mine and one of my favorites for the SNES. I'm glad that you shared that one bro. One of these days we got to meet up and throw all the foot clan members in the air towards the screen. 8^)

Glad to see you got yourself a Dreamcast bro. NGDEVTEAM does great work and got all their non sacrificed Neo-Geo cart and snapcase games in my Neo-Geo collection. Last Hope Pink Bullets and Fast Striker are really fun games to have for sure.

Nice work Steve, this made my day for sure.

I've got the rebranded version (Olympus OEV 202) so it was neat to see you work on this unit.

Probably have to replace a cap or two myself soon because of a color bleed issue with the green signal when next to low contrast colors.

Good music for the retro pr0n too ;)

Hi Retro tech, can u please give me a new link for Sony emblem in eBay, bcuz the old link not working.

Could you Tell us where to buy these replacement Sony metal logos ? My friends have a couple of 20" pvms without them

Built to last these Sony units, repaired many thousands in my life, had a load of 6 inch 6041qm in a OB truck that got so hot the plastic chassis melted and deformed, the monitors stayed working until finally the caps failed and they suffered field collapse and 1 inch tall bar right in middle vertically with entire picture in was left on for ages and burnt the phosphor in the tube = terminal for intended use, but I repaired them and use as cctv monitors around my house so they still live.

Do you know if this monitor will accept a 480p signal? There is a good deal on one in my area and I'm thinking of purchasing.

I just got this one today shipped from Hungary! It's dirty as hell, but I'm going out to buy cleaning alcohol and make it as sparkly as the one in this video. Can't wait to hook it up to an SNES via RGB!

[aliveonmoonrocks]

I have a question about this model. It requires the ext sync on the back. How and what do I do to get the RGB image out of my PS2 component cable?

[PapiFed]

Would you have a link to the Sony emblems ? Link is no longer working. Thanks !

[NativeWarrior]

OMG, looks like OLED with those blacks!!!

[AlexChipman]

I take it from thw 19 in 1953MD that the monitor is 19"?

Hey RetroTech, I can see you said dont use the badge for PVM 2030, 2530, 2950. I have a 2730 so im assuming will be in the same category. Is the sony badge bigger for the 2730? If so what size do I need? Thanks

[chrismorozin]

I have one of these, and it looks great but I need to do some work on it. It apparently has a high pitched noise my wife can hear but I can't. Is that repairable?

[heczero]

How could I put the HR Trinitron logo, since I got one but they painted everything and it is no longer visible, thank you.

Love your videos!

I have a medical PVM-1942Q with some geometry issues and I'm having a hard time finding the Service Manual anywhere online. Have any tips on where to find PVM documentation?

[WingmanLive]

It would be good to see street fighter 2 in mame running at it's original resolution of 384×224 can you hit that resolution on this thing?

[AndresHernandez-yowq]

I have one do you thing its expency fix?? Just turn on the green button in front

[stevennorton]

Experience aside, how can you tell which part/board/location needs cap replacements? Do you always discharge on the metal chassis? Thanks
