View Full Version : Hitachi CT-1909 mrflex65 08-02-2012, 03:46 PM It's been awhile folks,found this Hitachi CT-1909 19" set from '80. It's filthy,but it should clean up pretty nice! Can't say so much for the remote though.:no: Anybody here familiar with this set? Looks to be well built..:yes: mrflex65 08-02-2012, 04:14 PM A few more pics..... zenithfan1 08-02-2012, 06:22 PM I like it! Hitachi built a lot of good sets back in the day. Electronic M 08-02-2012, 08:56 PM Looks like there used to be a chrome keypad insert on the remote. mrflex65 08-03-2012, 05:42 AM I like it! Hitachi built a lot of good sets back in the day. I really like this set! I'm going to hang on to this one.:yes: mrflex65 08-03-2012, 06:01 AM Looks like there used to be a chrome keypad insert on the remote. Yes, the keypad insert is missing along with the battery cover and corroded batteries to boot! It's a goner...:tears: From what i understand, they still have some replacement remotes for this set....:scratch2: DavGoodlin 08-03-2012, 07:42 AM I had to repair one of these for a friend when I was only good on Sony (not boasting here, I worked for 2 Sony dealers so I HAD to do them right) The Hitachi had "Jail bars" on the left side of the picture. Still under the impression a 3 year old TV couldn't possibly have a bad capacitor, I wasted lots of time before a bad 47 mf(?) 250 volt cap was found on the CRT PCB? on the CRT's G2 supply line. This allowed horizontal-rate ripple to modulate the G2 voltage and cause the odd symptom. Once done, it looked great. mrflex65 08-03-2012, 10:30 AM Ok, got a chance to clean it up and pop off the back cover. Not too bad inside! just a little compressed air and it's done.:yes:All i have to do is some detailing on the front and that should do it.:yes: Dave,i didn't see that cap on the crt board.I guess maybe on the main pcb?:scratch2: mrflex65 08-03-2012, 10:34 AM A few more. Dreamsbeard 12-06-2014, 09:05 PM Well this looks familiar! zeno 12-07-2014, 08:22 AM The cap is a good one to learn. Its common to almost all SS sets & has a high fail rate. To find it: on CRT board the 3 color output collectors go through apx a 15K or 18K 1 or 2 W resistors. Where they join is the 200 volt source. Follow the wire from that to the main PCB. You will find it there. Usually a 4.7 mfd sometimes a 10 mfd. Change to a 450 volt. Usually near the flyback. Symptoms are a mix of jail bars, smearing, dark on left to bright on right, bright blank raster, retrace, shading Some sets will go into overcurrent shutdown also. 73 Zeno:smoke: |
