CRT safety

Caution

You can die doing this! So read carefully! CRT TV is not a toy. Do not open a CRT TV. If you don't have any prior knowledge about handling high voltage devices, this guide is not for you. CRT TV contains high enough voltage (20,000+ V) and current to be deadly, even when it is turned off.

Performing the mod

STEP 1: Remove the following components

Remove the three 680 ohm, RGB resistors to ground

  • R102 (680Ω)
  • R103 (680Ω)
  • R104 (680Ω)

STEP 3: Build your mux circuit

This mod uses the RGB mux board. This is optional, but will make your mod easier and stable. You can also create the circuit presented in the schematics above without the board. Please also checkout the mux calculatoropen in new window to play with your own values.

ComponentValue
RGB/OSD inline resistor (chassis)4.7kΩ
Removed RGB/OSD resistor (chassis)680Ω
RGB inline diode method (chassis)No
0.1μF caps replaced (chassis)No
RGB termination (R1, R2, R3)75Ω
RGB inline (R4, R5, R6)680Ω
Audio LR (R7, R8)1kΩ
Diode (R9)1N4148
Blanking Ground Resistor (R10)open
Blanking Resistor (R11)4.7kΩ

Creating a SCART cutout and mounting it is an art. I have a dedicated section for it.

How to create and mount a SCART female plug?

TV1334A - Back of mux board. Note the bridged audio pins. This is due to only having a single wire running to the mono audio on the chassis and was done as a work around because I cut the white wire. Proper procedure would be to connect both the gray and white cables to the board.
