Picked up a Sony PVM-2730QM last Saturday. It was a 2,5 hour drive from my hometown to Vaals in Limburg. 2,5 hours driving for a dutch person is crazy long being as NL is so ridiculously small. I had a nice talk with the guy selling it, back in the day he was actually working in the Philips tube factory in Eindhoven (home of Philips). Unfortunately he is now unemployed, again, his last employer Voodoofone outsourced his job to Eastern Europe, Romania. That's the price we pay for evolution, I guess :/
The picture is in pretty rough shape, size, geometry and color in upper right corner is pretty shit
Played around with neodymium magnets to get the upper corner color back in shape, will need to do this a couple times I'm guessing.
As for the geometry, I have played around with the pot's but can't get the picture any better then in the pictures, pretty bad unfortunately.
There's a gazallion electrolytic capacitors on the PCB's, thinking of changing the cap's near the pot's hoping this will influence the range of the geometry, picture size. The picture is too small, picture borders are visible and can't be stretched outside the field of view, does that text make sense?
Should I buy the service manual? Mess about a little more? Or is this thing fubar?
