Hey, its SegaSaturn94 here. I appreciate the kind words regarding my CRT Catalog Guide. I am super happy you have found it useful! The guide is still a work-in-progress, but I believe I'm nearing a completion at some point. As for your Sanyo set and its issues, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't think its arcing, but I could be wrong. That quiet buzzing-clicking sound you hear I think is just the power supply humming, and I think its benign. Could be wrong, though. Anyway, enjoy your CRT, and have an awesome day!

There is a lot of scare talk out there when it comes to working on CRT TVs, and they certainly can be dangerous. However, once they are unplugged and the tube has been discharged, they are perfectly safe to poke around inside. Start by having a good clean up inside and look for any obvious failing capacitors, such as those with bulging tops or ones that have leaked electrolyte onto the circuit board. Have a look for any corrosion that might have developed. The ticking sound you hear could be the anode cap arcing, it happens when the dielectric grease dries up underneath it and it can arc to the tube itself as it's painted in an electrically conductive paint called aquadag.

Hey yasmine i really hope you see this! That ticking noise you hear is not arching or anything that is just normal for all sanyo sets that I fixed and repaired and sold on to other people! When the electricity comes into the set it goes through versious componets but the one thats making the clicking is just a transformer converting down the 120 volts to other voltages that the set needs! So no need to panic! And for dusting it out unscrew the back cover and just blow out with compressed air! Theres no need to touch anything inside the crt becuase the back plastic case! If something does come undone which could happen always do the one hand behind your back rule! So there for if you do get shocked it wont go acrossed your heart. I hope my information helps! As ive been servicing crts sence I was 15 and now im 20 lmao Edit I still would have the crt on a power strip that has a switch and a fuse built in so then you can just flip the switch after turning the tv off instead of unplugging it

Great CRT! I understand the fear, as I am grown up with parents that where really paranoid about CRT's and thinking they will always exploding very loud and get fire etc. Many years later and having a passion for CRT's and restoring them, I never had one explode, got fire or badly shock me. Except some specific models, CRT's aren't dangerous in normal use and won't explode or caught fire. Also working on them isn't that bad. Just like everything in life you should no what to do and what not :) Back in the day many people repaired tv's, I never heard of anyone died from it. Just be good informed and if you really going to work on it (more than just opening or removing dust) let someone look with you. Listening to your fault descriptions: @8:34: I clearly hear the 15.7KHz pitch. It sounds totally fine. Some CRT's are just louder than others in that respect. Depending on how good or badly the coils (horizontal deflection, E/W) and flyback transformer are isolated (soundwise) @10:20: That sounds like some resonating component in the power supply (not the high voltage). As it takes some time to disappear after unplugging it could be the Standby supply. Sometimes it can be fixed, sometimes it's just a poor design. It isn't dangerous in the way it will explode randomly or something . Some other tips: - When the TV is unplugged, the only real shock hazard is under the high voltage connection at the tube and the big power supply capacitors. The tube is capacitor after all and as with the power supply caps, it keep charge. - Make sure you switch it off with the mains switch, not from standby before opening it up. If you unplug it in standby, the power supply caps won't always discharge. When running and turning it off, the power supply caps will be naturally be discharged because all energy will be suck out as it tries to run further. - If you suspect high voltage is arcing: Just unplug the set. Open it up in a dark place. Start it up while open (you can not get shocked by just pushing the button when it's open). If the TV is arcing, you see blue sparks/arcs/lightbows, mostly around the flyback transformer, high voltage wire and around the high voltage connector at the tube. After the test, you can unplug it and close it again. - If it arcs visible it's a no go to keep it using. Same for sparking because of dry solder joints. You will see this in the picture (shaking/wobbly/tearing). - Dust doesn't create or cause arcing as it doesn't conduct. What can cause arcing is nicotine/smoking residue. If the previous owner did smoke a lot, high voltage arcing is much more common. Other reasons for arcing are bad flybacks and dry out high voltage suction caps. - Dust can be removed easily and without touching anything with an compressor - CRT's are protected against implosion. They have a metal band around the front. As long as you keep it intact (and don't cut it off as many sensational youtuber like to do for a big bang) it won't implode. Even if you by accident break the neck Btw it isn't really dusty, if it was you cannot read any letter anymore on any component :) I have seen much much much worse, with fully grey electronics with not a single letter to read and still working fine! To be honest I think the tv is pretty fine, I don't see or hear a sign of flyback failure and the thicking is very faint, I would not be bothered by it too much and just enjoy the CRT 😊

You should take out the power, and wait 48 hours. Newer sets like these drain fast on purpose. Also just blowing air through the slats is better than nothing.

Hi Yasmine! Sorry for the delay in responding but, your video just appeared on my KZitem feed. Your love cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions is great, Philo T. Farnsworth would have been proud. I have been servicing TVs since 1972, so thought I would add a comment. The CRT glass is the bulk of the weight on the TV, especially with the larger screen size. The face of the CRT has a glass thickness of a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch (6.35 to 12.7 mm). The high voltage on your TV is about 27,000 volts (under the high voltage cap on the back of the CRT) for the anode and 5,000 volts for the focus grid (input at the circuit board plugged in to the CRT neck). These high voltages are only present when the TV is turned on. Color TVs manufactured since the late 1970's use a voltage divider connected to the CRT anode power supply (the 27,000 volts) to derive the focus voltage (5,000 volts). When the TV is turned off, this voltage divider discharges the CRT anode, so you shouldn't need to discharge it. All that high voltage attracts dust. I used to clean my sets out every few years. It is best to de-dust ouside. After taking the taking the TV back off, position the TV so it can't fall over. I use a 1 inch wide paint brush used for painting the house (obviously one that never gets used for painting) to brush the dust off components, circuit board, glass, and plastic, while blowing away the loosened dust with compressed air. The 15,734 Hz noise (with US TVs) comes from the horizontal sweep power transformer (also called the fly-back tramsformer). The sound comes from the transformer vibrating. The older TVs used to mount that transformer in a steel box so, it was less of a problem. Your hearing seems especially sensitive, I could hear that noise when I was in my 20's but, as you get older, your high frequency hearing drops off substantially. The tick-tick noise you hear when your TV is turned off is likely due to the power supply that keeps the remote control circuitry active. This circuitry needs very little power so, that power supply turns off 90% of the time to save power. The "tick" sound occurs when the power supply momentarily turns back on. Using the Power Strip as some people have recommended is a good idea. I use power strips on old TVs and radios, as well as any device that uses power when it is switched off.

Very likely that the flyback is arcing, try recording through the side vents with your camera during the ‘clicking’/snapping sound and see if you see any blue flashes. If it’s whining and arcing it’s likely cracked, this happens through age and use due to temperature variation over long periods. It’s very highly likely IMHO that the flyback needs to be replaced. You should not ideally continue to use the TV while this is happening, as it gets worse it can arc to other components causing more damage. Also as with any unintentional electrical arcing situation it does pose a fire risk. As for working on CRTs, read the articles, watch the videos and observe best practices. When discharging always keep one hand behind your back or in a pocket, so if anything goes wrong a discharge won’t cross through your heart down your other arm to earth. All the best, hope you can fix or get it fixed 🙂

CRTs can be dangerous. In the same way that driving a car can be dangerous. I'd definitely try to understand how to discharge the tube and why it is so important. Then it is a matter of having the right tools and starting small. Adjusting focus and brightness/screen screws on the flyback can be a good first exercise. Some TVs allow for this without even taking the back off.

After reviewing again, there are 2 issue, 1 the fly-back is going bad, 2 the Electron guns are out of phase, this is caused by the failing cap or the fly-back not hold the right frequency. For the fly-back, you will need an Oscilloscope, voltmeter, static wrist band, and a degassing gun.

If you are considering opening it, lookup some videos on discharging a crt and how to check if it's discharged. High voltage gloves for the inexperienced, and check everything with a multimeter before you touch it. 48 hours is probably long enough to keep it unplugged. I'd recommend you plug it into a power strip and flip the off switch there, that way it's still grounded but powered down. It's quite a lot of high voltage in there, generally about 1000v per diagonal inch. The main issue with high voltages is they can arc pretty far, but the danger is in the amps, not necessarily the volts, and those CRTs required a lot of power, so they have large capacitors that should be discharged. Adrian's Digital Basement works on CRTs sometimes and he does show the proper way to handle things. Taking the case off and using a can of compressed air to clean is a good idea, to prevent a fire (sometimes the dust is flammable!), just be safe.

Here is what i think you should do. Research how to make a discharge tool or purchase one yourself. Once its all discharged you can disconnect and the wires, remove the anode cap to the tube and take it all out and clean that board. That much dust is going to start a fire. Use a lot of isopropyl, the sun and water, or a bath of distilled water and some sun. Soft toothbrush, painters brush and taking your time will get you closer to your goal.

Get the Service manual and that will tell you the cap and fly-back specs. and values, the dust can act as a conductor, so your going to have to clean the dust out first, from the MFG Service manual look for the test points and values that should be at those points, if the value are within 10% then you can move on anything more that 10% you will need to look at the schematic to see what circuit that test point covers.

Best thing you can do it blow the dust out with an air compressor so the components don’t over heat, CRTs are dangerous but if you know not to touch the flyback or anode cap until it’s discharged you’re fine. People say capacitors can shock you but I’ve rebuilt over 15 arcade monitor chassis and never have been zapped from one. But if you can’t deal with the horrible whine sound sell that one for what you paid and find another. I had a trinitron with a loud whine, usually just means a stressed flyback, certain flybacks are better than others, usually low hours units won’t have a horrible whine I feel like is the case

I worked on allot of these in my earlier days, First on the tube itself there is an anode cap, most MFG will have a caution sticker that will have instruction of how to ground this to bleed off the high voltage, FOLLOW THIS CAREFULLY!!!, next you need to bleed the fly-back transformer, this is should be a black square box usually in the lower left corner, it has one large black wire going in and out, once that is done, (usually these take a day to bleed to be safe). Next you have to get ride of the static charge on the tube, once that is done you need to remove the electron gun assembly connector, this is usually a board attached at the lower end to the glass tube. Be careful not to bend or crack anything. Usually a high pitch noise indicates the fly-back is going bad or the deflection plates for the electron guns are failing, usually it is the fly-back. And I am not sure if you can get a replacement anymore, if the deflection plates for the Electron gun are going bad, no way to fix that you buy a new tube.

The ticking to me sounds like a relay. Admittedly, I did have to put on the earbuds to hear it but it sounds more electromagnetical than just electro. I'm not the most familiar with CRTs so maybe by the time this one was made, they phased out the heater in the neck of the tube for something else, but if I was a betting person, I would say that something like a bad capacitor isn't able to keep a great charge and is flipping the relay for the heater to come on and off. Definitely something you want to fix if that is the case as soon as possible as the element is inside the tube and the tube is filled with magic nothing. If you let the normal something get in, it will stop the magic nothing from doing magic. Heaters are also not super fond of being cycled a lot with all the expansion and contraction and whatnot. Then metal fatigue kicks in and BOOM, no more entertainment particle accelerator! Another thing they don't really talk about is the danger of x-ray exposure when working with CRTs, so there I'm mentioning it. I never understood what the practical danger is if you're working on it while it's not running and couldn't figure it out after a brief search for more information. That's when I threw all three of my arms into the air, and declared I'm probably not in any danger. My spleen feels fine most of the time, so I'm probably good. Keep up the interesting videos! I love seeing a newcomer to this old tech. Good stuff!

The clicking I have no idea about. I personally would just keep using it and keep it unplugged when you are not using it. Usually when there is arcing from the flyback it would also affect the picture during those moments. If this does not happen then I do not think it is the flyback.

As someone else said, to me also it sounds like arcing, so there are tiny flashes crossing where they should not be, making this cirping sound. You could BUMP on it (hit it) and see if it changes, if it does, it may be a bad solder joint, but if it continues to do that, best advice would be to buy another unit. Dont play around with that, the replacment cost would be too high, the risk is too high, such units can have 25K (25.000) volts, especially in color and at that size. So best solution: Dump it and buy another one. BUT... I am not sure why you say "the sound is there when it is plugged off". When its not plugged in and/or not turned on, there is (logically) no high voltage and only high voltage would arc. So I am not sure what you hear there, maybe it is just the case that "bends" back after the heat cycle? Or what? I dont know, but there is not anything going on when plugged out. Only the PSU may hold a charge or the tube, but it would not arc on its own?!!? Never heard anything like that. What I can think of would be maybe an idea: Maybe play with the settings like Brightness and see if it changes anything on your problematic sound? Because the lower the brightness the less use, and the higher the brightness the harder you drive it, so maybe if it makes a change it could be a hint to something, e.g. failing component or whatever. The dust usually is not a problem, i never had any repair with "just dust it off and i works again", dust is not doing anything, those are mostly 1 layer boards, so all the connectivity is on the back. What also could be: Maybe you have a cracked PCB, that can happen in transport or whatever, but also unlikely, but those are just ideas that you can work through.

I actually noticed it early in the morning, the clicking a whole 8+ hours after being powered off but not unplugged, that definitely freaked me out. Even if it doesn’t work, I probably won’t toss it.

@@YasmineCollects OK, I see. I know from my monitors that when it makes noises after power off/unplug it has to do with the flyback transformer, that is a few seconds.

Of course we like to repair it and keep it going etc., I also hate to damage something or throw it away, but again: It is not worth taking the risk and not worth to repair it. Be careful with that, it is not that important in grand scheme of life compared to injury on you, that's all I say. And if you let someone else fix it, if even the replacement parts are available, then it also will cost much more compared to another unit. I threw some of my monitors away back in the day 10 years ago when they were broken and back then not worth so much, I was even younger and I had no idea and no parts, and still, I would not touch the High Voltage thing on a monitor.

I’ll try to be as helpful as possible. You can take the back cover off without risk of injury providing you keep your hands away from the anode cap. The suction cup looking thing with the big wire coming out. Most CRTs of this vintage have bleeder caps installed to get rid of the high voltage after powering off. If you want to be extra cautious, unplug the CRT and let it sit for a day or two. This is plenty of time to dissipate the electricity and since you won’t be going anywhere near the cap to blow it out, you should be ok. Just exercise caution around the cap and you’ll be ok. Being nervous is a good thing. It means you respect what the voltage could do to you. Best of luck!

Here is advice from some one who has worked on them people overthink the high voltage aspect yes once apon a time they held high voltage inside after they are switched off the more modern ones have a voltage discharge resistor in them i have also scraped many of them that are the extremely cheap ones or ones with images burnt into the screen even after pluging them in i can safely say i never got a shock if you want the safe side unplug it for a week thats being over cautious but peace. Of mind it was the old black and white ones that were bad for electric shocks

I'm actually younger than you, but I've been repairing these things since I was a kid, I know a fair bit about them, so here goes: Yes, the whine is loud, the bigger the tube the louder the whine generally speaking, your model is quite large so would be louder than something like a 12" B&W set. Yes, it's possible that the clicking you can hear is arcing, there's mains voltage on those circuit boards in several places, so if there's dust it can absorb moisture from the air and start conducting, you probably should pop the back cover off and blow it out. No, you will not die just by opening the back cover, you'd have to grab hold of the conductive painted shield on the tube with one hand and stick your finger under the HT supply connection to get a shock, most people scaremonger far more than is necessary with these, to be honest I'd be more concerned about the massive electrolytic capacitors in the power supply section, sometimes they can charge up to 300v and deliver far, far more current than the tube could dream of, but it's best to just not stick your fingers under the board if you're not sure, that being said if you're still concerned then get yourself some thick rubber gloves, nothing will get through them! Yes, these TVs run hot, that's completely normal, don't forget you've got probably a 25-30w heater in the tube, and a load of high power switching devices on the PCB which are probably dissipating a similar amount of power, as long as nothing smells like it's burning I wouldn't be concerned, but blowing all that dust out will definitely cool things down a bit and make the TV last longer. Hope that helped and gave you a bit more confidence working on this lovely set!

Ive dusted out many CRTs with an air compressor using a metal nozzle without discharging it. I purposely dont touch the nozzle on any components inside the CRT just to be safe. I dont know if i would recommend you do this. Personally i would say get in, discharge it, blow it off, and then get out. Simple. Discharge it with a copper wire attached to a screwdriver. Either way just stop worrying about it so much and get it done 👍

Tip # 2 Remove cover after unplugging and use a vacuum with a soft brush to get the bulk . CRTs' can be dangerous , but mostly be carful of the neck of the tube . If that should break , it will cause an implosion !! The phosphorus coating can cause sever skin burns !! == first aid == DO NOT WASH THE the injured skin __ Wrap tightly and go to the ER , needs immediate care . This is a worst case scenario , !! just know !! Work without fear , but of knowledge !! D.

So long as she doesn't bump the neck of the tube she's ok. You would have to bump it fairly hard to crack the glass or break it. I seen that happen by accident but the tube didn't explode..but your right be careful around crt's they are dangerous. Used to work in a tv repair shop.

Note for people, those black diamond VHS tapes are NOT rare, far far far from being rare, don't be scammed by those people. Discharging a CRT is not hard, but the spark from the discharge might startle you if you don't expect it. Like those images you showed, a simple screwdriver connected with an alligator clip is all you need. I'm sure some of those videos showed how you need to *first* grab the ground strap around the CRT with the alligator clip, and then gently push the screwdriver under the anode cap, and as soon as you touch the anode metal connection you should hear a spark. You can do that a few times to make sure it's discharged. After that, you can safely blow all that dust. Just be careful to not bump the PCB on the back of the CRT because it's a bit fragile, and you definitely do not want to hear that horrible "hiss", because that would mean end of the line for the CRT. The clicking sound is probably not a big deal, and compared to other CRT TVs that I've worked on, yours is pretty clean inside. I have worked on TVs that had so much dust that all the color you could see inside was grey lol. CRTs don't really mind having dust inside and can work like that for decades.
