1979 Sony Trinitron KV1922 Repair Liquid Damaged Vintage Color Television 

I grew up watching that exact model of Sony TV. It was in constant use until the early 2000s when my parents bought a 27" Sony "flat screen" CRT. This was only because they wanted something bigger, not because it was broken or worn out. I assume they sold it at a garage sale but I just have the fondest memories of it. Amazing this setup survived the horrible sugary glaze being spilled in it and you got it working again.

Well done. Drexel cleanup was good. Water wash was good. Saved a quality TV.

"This is where the party reallly was" "this is something only flexcrust could fix". Really enjoyed this video. It was pretty interesting. Good outcome too, I totally wasn't expecting it to survive.

Hot Damn! That´s a sharp image

the ultimate gaming tv

"... I don't know why someone wouldn't unplug the TV... there must have been smoke rolling out..." says a sober man... haha

Hey Jello, can you use non chlorinated brake cleaner on the board? Would that erode the traces on the board?

Here is a video for all of your fans who want you to clean things before repair.

“Should I taste it?” Shango your humor is drier than the t v.

Nothing like a cherry slurpee poured down the back of a TV to bring the entertainment for the night to a bang of a conclusion.

This is one of those repairs, only Shango would even attempt. Greetings from Germany!

My girl friend at the time(1980) had that TV-it was the best picture I had ever seen until the high def era. It was a great little TV. I was almost as sad when we broke up for losing that TV as I was losing her.

"what's a genius doing hosting a show for people with room temperature IQ" HAAA roflao!

Based on the color and conductivity, I'd bet it was a Bloody Mary made with those ready-made mixes.

I like the birds chirping happily in the background, oblivious to your desperate efforts to save the Sony. They only pay attention when you say "flyback".

“This TV is trash.” to “This TV has the best picture I have ever seen”

Yep, this looks like the one my dad had back then. This may have been one of the best televisions of it's day, so it's great to see this being revived...

"Should I taste it?" "This conductive spooge..." There was so much golden commentary during this repair

Over 300 items in the last 11 years through our "parts dishwasher" now, and every one of them is clean and still perfectly functional. Anyone, you, your viewers... are more than welcome to stop by and take a look at our process and our projects. There is a lot more to it than you alluded to: Drying is essential, low mineral content and filtered water are essential, the water temperature must be adjustable, there are many more facets to it than just "papa bear throws it in the dishwasher."

I think it's safe to safe to say that the word combination of "grenadine carbon trace" has never been used until this video was recorded, in the history of the human race. Amazing recovery Shango!

Gotta have a Guadalupe final send off video.

The explosion and burning was probably the most entertaining thing this tv displayed in 30 years. That’s probably why it wasn’t turned off.

I am your Daddy Bear 🐻

If you can find out when CH 6 goes off the air, you should set up a bunch of TVs and film it going dead

LOL. "A room temperature IQ..." Where I live that would be about 22 (°C). Greetings from Belgium.

So you’re saying I should convert my 401K to Shiba Inu.

This TV could have been the victim of a party night, but it survived.

This was a great fix! I went from "holy sh*t" when the bottom of that board first appeared, to saying "wow" at the parts needed to actually repair it.

I Watched AntennaMan, He Said The Low Power Analog Channels Will Shut Down On July 13th 2021.

Pure geniac. Don't ever stop. I never comment on RU-vid videos.. an exception has been made. Love and follow and learn with every sarcastic witty lesson... !

It’s a Grena-tron! 😄 The owner was probably three sheets in the wind, and that’s why it wasn’t turned off right away.

Now even a dentist with a dremel....the best thing i saw After the flyback pressure cooking.

Lots of rubbing alcohol i a spray bottle

Do you repair tvs for money? I have a vintage tv that needs to be repaired

I think it's pronounced Grenade-ine when mixed with HV :)

Shirley Temple ~kid drink. kid was a mean drunk? I don't go to temple, and stop calling me Shirley. 😋 nah, that one fell flat as fallacy.

Love these sets. I have a few. The color quality looks better than new TVs. Of course they don't have the detail.

Obviously it is red mercury.

Shango’s sense of humor is even drier than the desert air in Death Valley….

Reminds me of a 70s SNL skit where Jimmy Carter (Dan Aykroyd) was called in to fix a Pepsi Syndrome at a nuclear power plant!

If it was a party, the last man standing spilled the booze, passed out and the TV burned.

I owned two Sony Trinitron TV's, they were wonderful and reliable sets. I bought a 19 inch Sony back in 1976 and it was still working in 2004, but it developed power issues in 2005. The 27 inch sony I bought in 1991 worked fine until 2012 when it died. Both had wonderful picture quality.

@shango066 You should call channel 6 and ask them to mention your channel since we'll all be watching them go dark in July

The advantage of a flat screen TV is that you are less likely to spill fluid into it. Because you cannot use it as a "table". Great video! I could believe a person can repair a tv with a damaged circuit board. Btw, SNL wasn't too bad in the 70's and 80's.

Was just reading an article on Franken FM's and thought about Radio Guadalupe. Guess the hard cutoff for Franken FM's is July 13th. They either have to shut off or go digital on another channel.

Picture actually looked great over RU-vid. Watched the whole thing and was the highlight of my Saturday night. Ya I need a life

46:24 Elon makes an illuminati diamond hand gesture. Watch it a few times. Either he's having a laugh at us, or something actually creepy happened.

I like how the USA's Saturday Night Live is a wannabe rip-off of our Hey Hey It's Saturday here in Australia that ran from 1971 to 1999.

I would guess the party was way too gone to notice, thus to notice. I was taught no food/ drink near the electronics. I use an Apple MacBook and my investment is way to expensive to risk any damage on my computer. Yet people still do it.

Red dye? I am guessing either some form of soda, fruit drink, kool-aid, or cough medicine.

I bought one of those in '78 while in high school. Always a great picture, and never had any problems. Ended up divorced in the late 90's and the ex wife took it. Bitch!

I've been watching to much of Steve1989MRE, at 2:50 when you were contemplating tasting that red substance, I was convinced you actually would.

@Shango066 , This whole scenario of cryptocurrency and its fluctuating value was long predicted in the show Max Headroom. Boy were they spot-on with that.

Excellent work Shango!

One thing Elon is forgetting (probably conveniently) is how much waste his batteries create.

Was that Elon Musk or Vince Offer, the Sham-Wow you're gonna love my nuts guy? Are they the same person?

I’m thinking maybe a cat jumped up on the TV knocked the drink over.

I know folks who were at Penn physics with Elon. He's the real deal.

SNL is still on the air? I thought they went 'tits up' about 30 years ago when they stopped being funny?

It brings back memories. My parents used this model--or a similar one--until the late 1980s. I had no idea it was such a nice TV.

Holy crap! I had one of these that I watched from 1978 until 2000 when it suddenly gave up the ghost with a flash of light from the CRT and the smell of melting transformer. :D

I'd pressurewash it with spirit, if I had extra gallons. 12:10 What?! Is it actually repairable?!

46:18 Elon Musk is acting like George McFly, look at him. 😆

I once spent a week cleaning a bottle of champagne out of a brand new $40K color copier. Must have been one hell of an office party. What a sticky smelly mess that was. I was able to get it running again.

Re: Musk. He’s a bit of both. He’s obviously a good promoter; but he’s also a good engineer - he built PayPal (along with somebody else he knew in college, IIRC), and was the main engineering talent at the beginning of SpaceX because he couldn’t find anybody else to do the job at the time (and he didn’t have any training or experience in spacecraft engineering at the time; so he had to teach himself everything). And, yes, he does sometimes stick his foot in his mouth... and the Aspergers admission (announcement? statement? I don’t want to imply stigma) does explain a lot.

I think spraying it with a spray bottle of dawn dish liquid and warm water, leave it to soak an hour, repeat, then rinse with a bucket of lukewarm water. No pressure washing. Should remove most of it. Then deoxit all the pots and dry in the sun with a fan on it for a few days. I think this is where I would have started.

Shango if you can find a small 9-in television that basically works, it might be an interesting experiment to put that in a dishwasher and see what happens after it's been washed and thoroughly dried. I think it could make a good video.

me watching when you sprayed the board with water... 😮

Perseverance, I would have declared that one EOL.

You can see the damage on the TV what the hell does it do to you all theses chemicals in sodas,milk shakes etc.

finally something good to watch.....dyin here

I found an analog lp station less than 100 miles away from me, totally worth the visit with a portable black and white watchman.

I remember in college in the 80s I used a to fix a lot of Sony 19 Trinitrons and the SG-613 Horiz output would open and the 2SC867 regulator would short and there was also a 39 ohm resistor that would open as I recall but I'm going from memory on the resistor value so can't be sure. Anyway, this set doesn't have the 613 or the 867.

This dude is hilarious. Great videos.

Or. If it is alcoholic. They were drunk as fuck lol

As Yanoosh once said why is it drippings with goo?

I am amazed that you got that set working again! You truly are a steely eyed rocket man! 🚀

This has to be my favorite repair video yet

Yes someone just happened to dump a drink on the back of a tv accidentally. It happens every day.

I remember the dreaded SG613 and at AU$50 a throw was an absolute pain in the ass. 30 years back I had a KV-1830AS and it would work for several weeks/months/or many months then randomly decide to kill the SG613.

I knew right away before you opened the set up that the Coke landed on the flyback transformer! Time for a spray bath, then a fan and IR lamp to dry it.

Hello teacher, how do I get diagrams (Dikram) from any website for the devices that you repair

Best CryptoCurrency PSA..🎖🎖👍 That surprised me nearly as much as your usual wizardry..

I have done lots of repairs in this model

I suppose If you were some kind of dubious character in a far off land you could launder a lot of illicit funds via these electronic markets and make a profit also, Elon perhaps simply signalled a live 'pump & dump' session to his mates and before you could say "Chinese Electric Car Batteries" people got rich... thank you very much aaaand g'night.

Everytime I've had a good feeling about something, it never goes as planned. Lol

Finally someone talking sense on Dogecoin. Thank you so much for your great videos shango. And also your unique style of presenting

"That is crustafied!"

This set was the height of Sony engineering with the trinitron design. These were some of Sony's best and most reliable sets ever made. After around the mid 80's they really went downhill. I love that they mounted the flyback and HV rectifier away from the chassis on this set, those flybacks were very reliable. soon after they scaled down the flyback quality and mounted it to the pcb and then started to use the H-stat blocks which became notorious for cracking and arcing.

That was one of the most awesome repairs I've ever seen. Most impressive and that thing really is a beauty! And it has presets!

As soon as I saw the pink stuff I thought, Pressure washer. As soon as I saw the underneath of the PCB I thought, Bin it. You are a miracle worker. :) Stay safe.

My mother's best friend had a Sony television just like this one. Sony made, and still makes, very good televisions.

I had a similar Trinitron "Gamer's choice". Never got it inspected to see what failed on it. Actually watched a few of your videos on it. Replaced it with a 20 inch Panasonic 520c Pro-line with VHS 4-Head as well. Just need a remote to change the channel for inputs now. Love your eclectic morning rants Shango. Might revisit the 1776 radio and then antifa special at work today as well.

Sony and Panasonic were about the best TV out there at that time.

I hope electric cars never catch on

Someone pulled the pin on the grenadine and tossed it right in there.

Why didn't they turn it off? You can ask the same thing about the drunk who decided it was a good idea to drive a car instead of giving the keys to a sober friend. You are dealing with drunks, they don't care about anything but their next drink. Hell they probably stood around laughing as the smoke poured out of it.

I thought the Mustang Mach E looked liked a Hyundai. Also, no content id matches? As it should be. FAIR USE.

Also one of those white rectangular thingies were replaced, has the NTE logo on it and the original Matsushita.

Back when I had the shop we had the tf Freon spray and liquid cleaner and then they switched to flammable ones, because you can’t be spraying Freon anymore, another tech was spraying a flyback and it arched and went up like an inferno, that was a repair on us
