RecapDeep clean

29-inch Sony KV-29FX30E flatscreen FD Trinitron CRT TV, acquired for 20€ to use in lightgun gaming sessions with friends (for the screen real estate). Full recap and deep clean (looked like a kitchen TV from the dust and grease); anode cap dielectric-greased.

The starting stage of a new restoration project. Checking for values and rough measurements (height and diameter) of all capacitors. Ordered up a lot of capacitors from Mouser. Now we play the waiting game. #Sony #CRT #repair #restoration
