The ESR Meter that tests capacitors in-circuit! 📺 Sony PVM 1342Q repair
Channel: Retro Tech
Date: 2022-09-13

This is a Sony PVM 1342Q Trinitron CRT monitor manufactured in 1988.  It has seen its better days.  Today we will restore it and use a special tool to help us in the process.  This ESR Meter can be used to test capacitors in circuit on a PCB.  After restoring the CRT, I will modify it to allow for audio input on the RGB input.
