So many RIFA's in this 1983 Apple Monitor II! 

Finally, a RU-vidr who understands capacitor tolerance! ❤

Nice little refresh

We always get the warning about working on monitors, this was however, my first time seeing someone experiencing the surprise. Thanks for the warning, good work.

Keep up good work. And safety first.

Nice job Tony.

I really enjoy your videos! 👍

Great video!

Nice cleanup Tony. I really need to get some of that dielectric silicone grease. I ones took a CRT display in from cold storage and turned it on, it went of like a fire cracker!

A great video. Thank you!

I liked how CRT made the discharging sound

Fantastic!

ESR low. i've been racking my brains and trying to find in amongst my university paperwork, my notes on what makes a "low" ESR. thank you for a great video :)

Another great repair!!! Great job!!!

Great Job!

Great job, sir, thank you for sharing.

Excellent video and work!! Thanks for sharing this and keep up the great work!

Great job as always. I love the smell of a burned rifa in the morning 🙂

If you’re just going a few feet, you can split the signal about four ways before any terribly noticeable difference in video quality on RF or Composite if your using good quality cables and splitter. Then it’s just a matter of cable length/splits/and strength of the source signal. If you run a very long length of CATV or something like to another room, you maybe, probably gonna have to use an amplifier jumped from a shorter length from the splitter. Pretty much, with appropriately used splitters and amps, you can network about as many dang displays as you like. The lower the impedance and better the shield/ground, naturally you get incrementally more impedance the longer the wire gets cause there’s just more wire to go through to complete the circuit. If one of your runs from the splitter is disproportionately too long, then you can get bothersome interference between them. ❤

Coincidence can be a strange thing sometimes! This morning I woke up thinking I should really look into removing the PRAM batteries in my vintage Macs (SE, Classic, Classic II) but realised I wasn't sure how to properly discharge the CRT. Only a few hours later RU-vid showed this video in my feed.

20 V AC after full-bridge rectification will give approx. 28 V DC.

Sanyo... whenever that name comes up, I have to think about Jürgen Klinsmann and how he kicked that oversized Sanyo battery in the Olympiastadion in München. 🤣 Those who watch Bundesliga will know what I mean.

Pretty sure Sony made the North American CRT's for nearly everyone back then.

20VAC after rectifiers and filters goes up to 28VDC, not 12V...

I currently have 3 of them and all of them was manufactured my samsung electronics, also I'm searching crt replacement since 2 of them had their cat broken during transport ....

I'm sure the screen will be good again for a few years or decades! ahaha, it looks like we have the same "thumb disease" with me it's from nervous scratching with the index finger... :-)

Sanyo and Samsung were very closely cooperating since 1969.The chance is the whole monitor is made by Sanyo while some parts were delivered by Samsung. Or maybe the whole thing was outsourced to Samsung and Sanyo just only made the deal with Apple. Who knows?

I'm sure you enjoyed smoking those vintage RIFAs.
