Notes

The A64JKJ10X tube used in this model has a deflection angle of 114 degrees. However, the service manual erroneously lists it as 100 degrees (likely it was confused with the PVM-2030, which does use a 100 degree tube).

The PVM-2530 and 2030 were both produced in black and ivory colored variants. The ivory model is very rare.

Repairs

Geometry Issues

• DO NOT MAKE ADJUSTMENTS WHILE THE D-BOARD IS "OPEN" OR SWUNG OUT - USE A NONCONDUCTIVE SCREWDRIVER WITH THE ACCESS HOLES ON THE SOLDER (BACK) SIDE OF THE D BOARD TO AVOID SHORTING OUT THE DEFLECTION CIRCUIT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE COMPONENT SIDE (TOP/FRONT).
• Top pincushion is bent inwards and won't adjust straight with TPIN pot on D board: You have made the H-SIZE too wide for this monitor. It is not designed to have the raster overscan on width from all sources. Pull up a grid pattern and reduce H-SIZE until you have control of the top pincushion again.
• Size of entire picture (both h and v size) shrinks intermittently: Likely H-STAT block (red block near anode of tube) is in early stages of failure and should be replaced.
