Not sure if this is the right place for this, but i found locally a guy selling a Sony Trinitron PVM-20m2mdu for around $75. Now i have a friend who states that a trinitron, is a trinitron TV regardless if its PVM or just a basic CRT. He states the only difference is the PVM can output PAL/SECAM/NTSC and also has the BNC connectors. My friend also states that you can rewire the CRT for RGB?

I'm still new to all this stuff, so im not sure if shelling out $75 for one of these would be wise. Or would i be better off finding just a Sont Trinitron from goodwill for $1

A PVM should be better hardware, but other then inputs/outputs the function the same
They can be modified, but its not a simple task

Hi guys,

I ran into a little issue with the component board on one of my monitor. I got distortion on top of the screen for white screens, as shown in this video:


I thought it could be related to the sync so I wired pin 44 of the HU6260 IC to an LM1881. This solved the issue so I thought it could be useful to some of you.

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

Two questions:

1. International shipping?

2. Do you have le schematics for the US SNES? Pilotwings looks way too awful on composite. Ugh.

Add $5 for international shipping. There is one schematic here by technozombie somewhere in this thread. If not I can put one together.

What kind of SNES is it ? If it's the traditional, early generation models, you have YPbPr almost ready-to-go. Just need a basic transistor amp.

I really don't know since the console still has the gamebit screws... it is one of the FAT ones and it have a 1991 copyright notice below it and it is model SNSM-001, with that stupid Playtronic PAL-N transcoding daughterboard. I'm going to see if I can find something to open it, hopefully it's one of the S-ENC chip equipped snes.

Damn, the more I look at the pics and watch the videos... I cannot wait til you get my old system in and mod it with this.  It is getting me excited about the turbo again!

Do Any CRT TVs work with this mod? The ones I have tried all have extremely faded colors and look horrible even with adjustments.

However, colors looks awesome on my plasma :)

The CRT I tried it on gives pretty good results actually. Also, my 2 LCDs show a green horizontal bar on top of the picture (in the overscan) with the mod, my CRT doesn't.

Thanks jello:)

Added a picture of the board installed in an IFU and sensato's video comparing the composite and component video.
