CRT and VCR repair and sales
Tube monitors, tube TVs and VCRs, repaired on our own bench and sold restored. $40 an hour, parts extra, 90-day warranty on the work.
CRT monitors and TVs
CRTs are what vintage games were drawn for, and good ones are disappearing. We service PC monitors and tube TVs, and sell restored sets tested on the bench.
What we fix
- No power, clicking or dead power supplies
- No picture, a single line, or a collapsed image
- Geometry, size and pincushion problems
- Convergence, purity and color patches
- Soft focus and brightness that won't hold
- Flyback and high-voltage faults
- Worn capacitors: recapping for the long haul
For sale
Restored CRT monitors and TVs, when we have them. They can be matched to a vintage system for the full setup. Call to ask what's on the shelf.
Please don't open a CRT yourself. The tube holds a dangerous charge long after it's unplugged. Bring it in as it is.
VCRs
The same decks do the capture work for our preservation project, so VCRs get serious attention here. We repair them and sell working ones, cleaned and tested with real tape.
What we fix
- Eating or chewing tapes
- Snowy, noisy or missing picture
- Tracking that won't settle
- Belts, idlers and pinch rollers
- Head cleaning and worn heads
- Won't load, won't eject, won't power on
- TV/VCR combos, both halves
- Betamax decks too
For sale
Working VCRs when we have them, serviced and tested before they go. Call to ask what's available.
