Mod & Repair Info
Notes
Despite having A/V inputs, this TV uses a hot chassis design. Instead of isolating the entire TV, the input signals are transmitted using optocouplers. An S-Video mod is possible, but it requires an additional circuit to properly isolate the chroma signal.
This CRT is confirmed to be a hot chassis.
Hot Chassis means that "ground" on the chassis is tied to one side of the AC input from the wall, and touching it with your hand will complete a live circuit through your body to earth ground if the CRT is plugged into an AC outlet. The proper way to avoid this danger is to use an isolation transformer to isolate the CRT from earth ground and prevent electrocuting yourself.
