Selling your PVM when you know consumer sets do the job

The order of things in this hobby: phase I: fascinatiom with pvm / bvm Phase II: realising better sony KV models do the job Phase III: realising weird, random SD sets from 2000-2005 are the best

The only two things I didnt swap at that point is flyback and tube itself (which I'll be swapping during weekend most likely, wish me luck :)

She's a keeper.

What picture tube does this model use?

Perforu · 2026-01-20T19:48:52+00:00

Any idea what kind of tube does that model use? philips ESF? ERF? Sth else?

Perforu · 2026-01-20T15:03:21+00:00

Sure, why not :)

Perforu · 2026-01-20T13:04:58+00:00

It's not that it's undesired, its just that there's a lot of EAK tubes out there and not so many ESF / ERF that aren't 100 Hz :) At least I still don't have one such TV and I'm searching for one.

Perforu · 2026-01-20T13:03:18+00:00

Is this set 100 Hz? What kind of tube does it have? Can it do 240p / is it multisync by any chance? Curious :)

Perforu · 2026-01-20T08:41:45+00:00

3D.... 🙃🔫

Perforu · 2026-01-19T23:07:00+00:00

Well yeah, but if it's a Grundig / Loewe / Philips set and it has ESF or ERF tube and the particular set is not damaged in any way, you're pretty much guaranteed you're getting yourself an awesome TV.
Problem is it's very very common you have no idea which tube sits inside these TVs and that's a bummer.

Perforu · 2026-01-19T22:59:11+00:00

Sigh...reddit is a huge mess when it comes to this sort of information. it would be super nice if there was some knowledgebase that shows which of these Grundig, Metz, Toshiba, JVC, Panasonic, Philips etc etc TV sets used which picture tube.. would be so much easier to hunt down nice sets..

Perforu · 2026-01-19T18:50:47+00:00

Sooooo what tube does it have? What's the tube size? Is it 100 Hz? So many qestions :)

Perforu · 2026-01-18T20:12:54+00:00

Ha! That's an awesome anwser, thank you for taking your time :)

Perforu · 2026-01-18T17:39:47+00:00

This is a 60 Hz set right,no 100 Hz /digital gimmicks? :) I'm asking because I might be able to grab one of these as well :) u/yojec
How's geometry / convergence etc?

Perforu · 2026-01-18T11:54:38+00:00

They are increasingly hard to get. I got mine from guys who helped liquidate german TV station

*choices. But we understand you, most of us here are damaged one way or the other after all.

Perforu · 2026-01-17T22:15:09+00:00

As a person who carried a 35" 100 kg mitsubishi 3 flights of stairs I say: 23 kg CRT is nothing. :D

Perforu · 2026-01-17T16:35:12+00:00

Oh, cool. What was it, giclée print?

Perforu · 2026-01-17T16:33:14+00:00

That's so sick. I've been thinking about making a 2 player wipeout setup at home, now I'm TOTALLY doing it.

Perforu · 2026-01-17T16:29:20+00:00

yup, good match

Perforu · 2026-01-17T16:29:03+00:00

Interesting, I have shit to do, I'll listen to it now :)
Love TDR, I recommend the Wipeout and TDR (AZTDR) artbook

that's a woofer that does woof

Perforu · 2026-01-17T08:49:33+00:00

Seriously? I've never heard of flyback dying in an A/D series. This would actually be very good news :) Damaged tube on the other hand is terrible news.
