# Performing the mod

Now that you roughly know what needs to be done, prepare for the mod. Place the board on a comfortable place. Make sure you are not putting pressure on the flyback or other components. Taking out the chassis is fairly straight forward on this CRT. There are few wires that needs to be disconnected.

1. Degauss wire
2. Power wire
3. Ground wire attached to the neck board
4. Yoke deflection coil wire
5. Anode wire (this is the one with the rubber cap)
6. Left and right audio wires

Please remember that wires 1-5 are critical for the CRT to function and should not be omitted. Having any of these wires disconnected while powering up can damage the board and can have adverse effects.

If you are building your own circuit, this diagram should help. This is just a conceptual diagram.

Connector CN001 can be utilized to inject R, G, B, Blanking and ground.

# STEP 1: Remove the following components

Remove the three (0Ω) ground resistors or jumpers if present.

• R330
• R331
• R332

# STEP 2: Connect RGB, Blanking and Ground

# STEP 3: Connect Audio and Sync

# STEP 4: Build your mux board

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.

# STEP 5: Attach the female SCART connector to TV
