Yeah sorry, but I have very little interest in doing video editing. I know how much time that consumes, and I really rather spend what limited time I have on actual projects than jocking for likes and subs.
But this thread (and when I finally get around to updating my blog) will be my only visual archiving documentation effort. I have tried to document as much as I can, and give you all comprehensive write-ups about each step.Small update:
It's been raining so much lately, I haven't been able to do much outside. My next physical task is to fix the scratches in the monitor bezel and repaint it. Since that's just a matte asphalt grey, I can tackle the painting with rattle cans. For that, I need outside time.
BUT, I have made some progress.
The cabinet parts have been dropped-off at the Auto Paint shop. I was quoted $300 and 4-5 days turnaround! Which i think it's a smoking price and timeline.
Looking forward to how it turns out. The repro artwork should be arriving before they finish with the paint job, so once i get the cab parts back I'll reassemble and apply the art!
I was able to finish servicing the PSU recently. New caps, reflowed, new fuse (just in case).
Now I'm able to hook up the monitor and see if I've gotten life back into it. But first, I need to build a temporary frame that can prop the monitor up for servicing. I really don't want to service it while it's in the cab. Doing convergence tuning while in a cab sucks.
Overall plan is to have this restore finished by the 2nd weekend of February. Well, finished to the point where I can move it into the house. That gives me 3 more weeks!
