Sony Trinitron Monitor Rejuvenation (Patreon)

I'm loving that new quick video upload feature of Patreon! Here are a few raw takes from the recent Sony monitor repair footage I did with TubeTime. It already tells the story. This free donated monitor was completely purple, just unusable. I thought, and hoped, that there was something very wrong with the electronics. But nope, after spending two days on it we could find nothing wrong with the (complicated) electronics. Turns out that TubeTime had a beautiful CRT tube tester in his collection. Neither of us had done a tube rejuvenation before, so we did not know what to expect, nor if we would further destroy our already dead Trinitron tube. But the monitor was a dumpster save freebee (now we knew why), and the tube was a certified goner, so why not. Results were surprising. Not sure how long it will last, but that certainly did something!
