RecapReflow / joint rework

My first professional monitor, a 14-inch Sony PVM-14L2 Trinitron PVM. Chassis cleaned, dielectric grease on the anode, neck board recapped. Savon Pat's full cap kit is queued for a later session.

New haul, fresh off Japan. A couple of Saturn's, a Satellaview and some other small bits and bobs. The grand prize? A Sony PVM-14L2MD. The pictures don't do it justice and it's only composite while I wait for some stuff to arrive. #RETROGAMING #Nintendo #Sega

I think I got really lucky with the PVM. Not only did I get a really good deal, as it appears to have been either serviced, or had some sort of maintenance performed, recently. Some screws were slightly loose, the interior is very clean and the caps seem in great condition.

Slowly starting maintenance on my PVM-14L2MD. For now, just recapping the neck board, some light cleaning and regreasing the anode cap. #Sony #CRT #PVM #restoration #RETROGAMING #Sega #Castlevania
