If it's male RCA cables coming off of your BNC breakout, you can either use Female-Female RCA couplers and plug normal Male-Male RCA cables into those, or get some Female-Male RCA extension cables.OK I'm at a loss here... I got an external amp, but I have no idea how to connect it to my PVM 2950 or PVM 2130. Does anyone have pics how to connect this?
PVM 2950: BNC breakout cable unplugged the 2 stereo connections, instead I have a stereo cable running from my amp to this. Speaker wires I have attached to my amp.
Kinda related, but grabbed some more scart cables and a SB-2840 Scart to component converter.

After years of looking I finally found a PVM-2950q locally for sale. While checking it out at the seller's place I saw that the top of the picture had a slight bowing issue and I figured that it be fixed in the service menu. After going through the service menu I was unable to fix the problem.

So off to google I went. I found a post earlier in this topic of a guy fixing his 2950qm with a bottom bow issue by moving a transistor until it made full contact with its solder points (post #3352). So I poked around the back and found a similar (same?) transistor that would correct the problem while pressing on it.

After removing the VC board I could clearly see that the solder joints had broken on transistor Q1807.

After a quick reflow of these points the monitor top bow issue was corrected.

Has anyone ever seen a guide online of how to take a decent picture of a crt? I can never get a good one.
Some people have found success at taking the pics from an angle.
Have you tried tweaking vertical hold? It's on the back, one of the external adjustments. IIRC from adjusting it on my KV-25XBR a long time ago, it can affect the vertical position of your signal. Whether it's enough to matter, I dunno.Thanks for the plug ChuChu
Is anyone familiar with the 80s Trinitrons like the KV-25XBR? I'm trying to figure out how to adjust vertical centering, but can't seem to find a pot for it. Looking at the Service Manual I see adjustments for H Size, H Center, and V Size, but no V Center. Service Manual is here if anyone else happens to need it. Thanks!

Anyone have success with one of these CRT rejuvenation machines?
