    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I did do a whole white point calibration with WinDAS afterwards. I also adjusted the focus knobs for best focus in the center. Unfortunately the focus in the very far corners is still off, but not so much that it's distracting me. During normal gameplay I'm not noticing anything. I don't see a...

    If I have to choose between a FW900 with a dying FBT that is sooner or later gonna be broken or a FW900 with a different flyback that is not the exact same one but it seems to work, I'm gonna choose the latter... I suspect some parts for the dynamic focus inside the flyback are different like...

    It's the flyback transformer. The big plastic box where the HV lead comes out of. The value of the primary inductance is important as the rest of the circuit is tuned for that. If the inductance is different then the circuit will also behave differently and worst case you will grill your...

    So the flyback of my working FW900 finally started having problems. It had the usual "picture getting fuzzy and after some minutes a pop and everything is fine" symptoms. I desoldered the flyback and measured the primary inductance and compared it to the A32 FBT I bought a while ago...

    lol, that was me. I have your FW900 sitting in the basement. I have a working FW900, but I thought might as well have one as a backup. I have a spare flyback, but unfortunately no tube.

    You don't happen to have the dead FW900 anymore? Are you located in Germany?

    I think that was me and it was a flyback from a A32. I still have it here but my original flyback is still working fine so I didn't change it yet to test if it works.

    I got a problem with my FW900. I use a Delock 62902 to go from DP to VGA. I have my FW900 running at 1920x1200@96Hz. It works great most of the time but occasionally the picture rolls vertically from bottom to top (like if you would screw around with the vhold on an old TV). It only does that...

    I never tested it as my flyback is still working.

    I know that I'm taking a risk. It is impossible to get the datasheets for the FBTs. That's a risk I'm willing to take. But I'm not only going about looks of the FBTs. If you go to the website of HR Diemen (a popular 3rd party manufacturer of FBTs) you can search for FBT replacements. They list...

    I recently got a FW900. You always hear about the FBT going pop so I thought I should probably find a replacement if the inevitable happens. As many others found out it is practically impossible to source a new FBT for the FW900. So I did some digging and found out, that the FBT of a BVM-A32 is...
