I grew up watching that exact model of Sony TV. It was in constant use until the early 2000s when my parents bought a 27" Sony "flat screen" CRT. This was only because they wanted something bigger, not because it was broken or worn out. I assume they sold it at a garage sale but I just have the fondest memories of it. Amazing this setup survived the horrible sugary glaze being spilled in it and you got it working again.

[@minty_Joe]

ADRIAN!!!! :D I'm just waiting for someone to either donate or send in a Mitsubishi CS-1972R model (but without the remote control option) from 1984; that's one from my childhood. We used that set up until about 2001 or so. The color eventually started to get intermittent, then I'd have to hit the side from time to time to get it back, ha-ha!

[@janosnagyj.9540]

No, not really. Once I bought a defective high power industrial switchmode PS (actually from Germany :) and when I saw the PCB inside my first thought was "this is hopeless" as there were literally cm-big holes burnt through it... copper traces vaporized, black tar and carbon powder everwhere etc. But you know what? After cleaning up all the mess, repair the missing tracks, I managed to wake it up again - without replacing a single component! And it even performs as specified! Mean Well, if you got it ;)

Anyone, you, your viewers... are more than welcome to stop by and take a look at our process and our projects. There is a lot more to it than you alluded to: Drying is essential, low mineral content and filtered water are essential, the water temperature must be adjustable, there are many more facets to it than just "papa bear throws it in the dishwasher."

It brings back memories. My parents used this model--or a similar one--until the late 1980s. I had no idea it was such a nice TV.

[@Idelia412]

I owned two Sony Trinitron TV's, they were wonderful and reliable sets. I bought a 19 inch Sony back in 1976 and it was still working in 2004, but it developed power issues in 2005. The 27 inch sony I bought in 1991 worked fine until 2012 when it died. Both had wonderful picture quality.

[@5roundsrapid263]

I found a circa 1994 12” Trinitron for $8 in a thrift store a couple of years ago. It’s still working perfectly.

[@magicchord]

Holy crap! I had one of these that I watched from 1978 until 2000 when it suddenly gave up the ghost with a flash of light from the CRT and the smell of melting transformer. :D

[@markmarkofkane8167]

The advantage of a flat screen TV is that you are less likely to spill fluid into it. Because you cannot use it as a "table". Great video! I could believe a person can repair a tv with a damaged circuit board. Btw, SNL wasn't too bad in the 70's and 80's.

[@frankscarano4708]

This set was the height of Sony engineering with the trinitron design. These were some of Sony's best and most reliable sets ever made. After around the mid 80's they really went downhill. I love that they mounted the flyback and HV rectifier away from the chassis on this set, those flybacks were very reliable. soon after they scaled down the flyback quality and mounted it to the pcb and then started to use the H-stat blocks which became notorious for cracking and arcing.

[@a587g]

Great job on that rescue! These were incredible TV's. We had 2 of them growing up, one my mother bought new in about 1976 without remote capability, and another from around 1979. We bought a 27" Trinitron in 1990, which never had quite as good a picture as these early ones.

A friend of mine use to work on TV sets. Many years ago he had one that had a Soda Pop spilled into it. Back then that set was lots of green backs to replace it so the people said fix it. They washed to main board five time to get the sugar off it. And replaced all kinds of parts to get it to work. When you stated that set I though it would be a parts set. You did a great job to get it working. I found out from my friend back then that Sugar conducts.
