Got a present delivered in my driveway, and it's definitely TV shaped. A good indication of weight is the fact it's strapped down on a palette.

The Sony PVM-2530 is now in it's new home: a proper AV cart. Still need to calibrate everything, but it's one step closer to being used and enjoyed.

First power on of the Sony PVM-2530: major convergence issues. Fortunately I have the service manual and this should be very correctable. Still need to get the speakers cleaned up and attached to the PVM.

Why do I keep buying CRT TVs? I now own 3 of them, and the new one is a Sony PVM-2530. I haven't seen many around, and I figured that September is a good time to grab a waaaay-too-expensive TV.

A quick schematic for a CMPTR breakout PCB. This really only handles RGB, but should get the job done for the CMPTR connector on the PVM-2530.
