Question
Rattanee
So I have these two Sega Megalo 50" projector sitdowns... of course the CRTs were burnt to hell and back on both... fresnels cracked and whatnot... so recently I got a 50" Pioneer RPTV that had a dud flyback... bought if for $50... fresnel flawless... basically that was the only reason I bought it... broke it down for parts and did away with it's box.
Now I managed to find out that tubes in it are pin-compatible with the original Toshiba tubes, so of course after a year of storage, the Hitachi CRTs that came from the Pioneer TV came out... drained them, disassembled, cleaned, then proceeded to replace the Toshiba CRTs with them... horribly tedious work...
After I cleaned all the lenses etc, assembled the thing, and turned it on... it fired up fine, then a few moments in POP... like an exploding component... or HV arcing... but saw no lightning and it was a one-time occurrence... that was when I noticed I had left the yoke connector of the green CRT dangling... BLARGH... (mental note, next time don't work into the AM)
So I plugged that back in, powered it on hoping it survived, and it actually fired up... granted it'll need a lot of adjustment... I set about doing the mechanical focus, then electronic, and again I heard a loud pop... same as before... except this time it left me with the right edge of the image missing, moreso on the green tube then the red and blue... any ideas what I fried?
Really not looking forward to this as the G2 from the flyback to the distributor is hard-wired... and I don't like snipping high voltage cables... real shame as the image never looked better...
Also, anyone know if silicone-sealing the CRT anodes in is necessary? Come to think of it... the loud pop could've been HV arcing to DAG... or a scary though... the yoke?... o.o uhh...
It's the notoriously un-identifiable Toshiba projector sega used...
