When I was in my early double-digits my back couldn't take the strain of merely lifting a 19" set from its stand. Something went out of whack, and I was walking with a limp for a few days. I fared better than H.B. Halicki though, who walked with a limp for the rest of his days after the filming of a climactic scene in the original Gone in 60 Seconds.

I hoisted a Rohde & Schwarz EK-07-German tube Boatanchor radio back about 10 yrs ago, when I was 45, 46..The EK-07 weighed a svelte 152 lbs.. And Unca Sandy saw Stars, Moons, Planets, Lightnins 'n' Shee-It when he hoisted it..I thought the R-3XXs were bad at a mere 80-85 LBS..As that movie put it, totin' Boatanchors & Ginormous TVs...Ain't NO Country for Old Men..(grin)

Solder wick is a must on the boards. I had the 34 incher I finally gave to a friend of mine and it has been thru two sets of IC's. Easy once socketed!
Even the back is heavy! The set does have an incredible picture. That one had the super fine pitch tube. I'll stay with my CRT projectors (Sony D-50HTU and a Dwin HD-700). Not too bad to move and will do 720P. The ones with the single IC were nightmares to repair. A 43 inch!!!! How much did that thing weigh? Was it used in medevil press torture? |

Update: Set has not yet been worked on. Now, I must wait at least 24 hours after the last power off in order to get the HV to engage. This is, ironically, virtually identical to the current state of another flat Trinitron, KV-32HS20, currently in my garage. I will soon buy the necessary MCZ3001DB chips and sockets, as well as a solder sucker and/or wick, but I will be very loath to actually move the TV and disassemble it. Do you think I am doing any damage to the set by continuing to use it in its current state?

How can I tell which ICs are genuine, and which are Chinese? Fire and sparks are definitely NOT something I want to see inside my set!!

I gave up on ebay ICs. I got two pairs of defective STK packs (audio amplifier ICs) from two different vendors. I get so sick of bootleg parts!

About a year ago my XBR34 did the same quit. The board in question is the AZ board on mine with only one chip. Somehow I found a refurb board on the web and try as I can looking thru old emails I cannot find the seller. If you can find the proper Sony # for the board you may have a chance. About $170. The refurb board was full of Sharpie marker markings as if someone tested at various points and Sharpied it to OK.
I left mine in place in the den on top of an Orthophonic Hi-Fi I use as a stand. Cool looking on top of 1959. I tilted it to a corner wall and balanced it up there to pull the back. Not too bad. Then setting it down I undid 24 connectors and swapped the board. Not hard to do...no two are the same. The surgery was about 3 hours and all is well. After moving it around above the iron in the Orthophonic, the purity was off. My trusty degaussing coil took care of that. And I have the original to re-use after I swap the IC someday. Hands down it is the best HD set made and I have been doing color broadcasting for a long time. Nothing better than Super Fine Pitch color phosphors.
