This was my grandmother's CRT since 1990. We bought 2 at that time, 1 for them and 1 for my parents. The second works without any problem to this day.
The TV set of that thread on the other hand, started to have some serious convergence problems and 1 month ago suddenly lost its red color.
I checked all the caps and had to replace 9 that were completely dead or had too high esr.
The CRT board has turned black from heat and most of its solder joints were in bad condition. I reflowed nearly all of them and several on power supply board.
Then the colors came back, but the convergence issues remained.
I noticed that the magnet rings had gone loose and there was no indication of how they were factory configured. I reconfigured them very carefully and patiently and the convergence problems were fixed
I was even able to enhance the colors purity. I put some drops of logo to secure them. What type of glue is suitable for this application?
