Notes
- Power supply is the Sony AC-600 17v 1.9A (see images below). You can DIY a power supply if you can find the right Sony adapter - they are usually included with "universal" power supplies on Amazon. Your best bet of finding a 17v power supply is eBay - Try to find one that is at least 2.5A to allow for inrush current.
- If you want to hook the tube up to a CRT tester, the pinout for the tube is printed on the neckboard. The heater voltage is 5v.
- There are capable of extremely sharp picture quality, even on composite. If yours isn't sharp I suggest opening it so you can adjust the focus dial on the back of the Flyback. You should also turn the Sharpness setting to low/off in the OSD menu to prevent artificial shadows on the edges of things.
Common Repairs
- No Power (red standby or green power light but otherwise dead) - Replace all power supply caps including the two large 1800uF filter caps. Make sure to clean up any black residue off the board.
- No Power (no lights) - Inspect both fuses on power supply board.
