Hi Diego, I used the larger grey TDK Z-CAT ferrite clamps on the astig board right near the connector. I tried some other types but the Z-CAT ones worked the best. Try different types to see what works.

Hi Athanasios, thanks for your fast replay.

Unfortunately I don’t have an oscilloscope to measure de noise level.

How many ferrite clamps did you use, I mean, did you use one ferrite clamp for each cable or one ferrite clamp per each RGB group of stig cables?

Hi Diego, I used one ferrite on each cable group, so three in total.

Nash,
The pix you posted here:
https://www.curtpalme.com/forum_archived/viewtopic.php@t=9608.html

are exactly what I was trying to verbally explain in my post where I described them as a 'fold. Now that I see the pix it isn't folds at all is it.

So this can be fixed. After I get some sleep I'll re-read that part of the thread and go to work on it.

Eddie,
You may want to list the board part numbers as well, as these components do vary depending on vintage. For example, on new VNBs, stock caps are 22uF 150V 105Cs

Edited out Eddie's quote per later posts.

maybe you can add the dynamic focus capacitors on the focus board too.
i think those are 301 401 501 but i cant be sure.
i replaced those with evox rifa 2.2uf 400v (3*)

Guy's First off all lytic caps should be 105c to begin with. This will give better reliability. The VNB's should go up to the 160v ratings.

The values on many boards should be kept the same but you can experiment with larger values (uf) , usually just a single jump in value. like 22uf to 33uf. I think the CVA 10uf 250v caps would benefit here from that. They are on a 24 volt rail so i do not think the 250 voltage is needed. 50v is fine. For those caps Id try the Panny FM 220uf 50v-63v. Chris Stevens who was one of the first modifiers of the Marquee and was with Accurate Imaging who's marquee clones got great reviews used 22uf 50v caps there. I think even higher like the 220uf would even be better especially in installations where you need more keystone or geometry use.

I think there is no one definite set of values or value you can use. Each marquee is slightly different due to the variance in value of its existing components. so what works for me might not work for you or the next marquee. Changing every lytic cap in a marquee will now give you a base starting point where you know all parts are new. Plus its all about the fun in this hobby. Some may disagree about it being fun, I let them say what they will Wink

Enjoy the upgrades and this hobby, for me its therapeutic , some like gardening and ripping out weeds I like tinkering with electronics. I see nothing wrong with that Wink

Pooge away guys

If your talking about the brighter vertical bars That is caused by the Contrast Modulation Board. I worked for months trying to fix that board. I added Oscon caps all over the place on it. Mine is the new style board and your problem might not be related. So if you have the CMM module remove it and see if it goes away. if you don't need it leave it out.

Nash correct me if i'm but this sounds like a very flawed idea. It doesn't matter what rail those larger CVA caps are on, aren't they being driven by the trio of smaller 22uf50 volt caps and then in turn drive the coil? Why put a teeny little 50 volt cap there?

I doubted it also. But this is what he did on all the Pj's they sold. Also I scoped the voltage from those caps. It never gets that high. Mike parker also went with 390uf by 63 volts IIRC, I can't check that to confirm as i do not have access to his site any longer.

If you look at the schematic the 10uf caps are the buffer caps for the 24 volt rail in parallel with 100nf 50v caps. They are not driven but feed the amps. They really do not get any high peak surges from what I have seen scoping it while ramping the convergence all over the place. I am not sure why they went with 250, maybe back then that voltage had a higher ripple current value. Most caps ripple current increases as you go up in voltage but size and other factors may come into play now with the newer design caps.

Like I was told by someone here before "you'll never know till you try".

There is no reason to have caps across a rail that are rated much more than the voltage of the rail. Maybe Ehome had thousands of the 250V caps left over from some other project and used them so they didn't have to buy 35V caps. Business is business.

Yeah the CMB has been out since day one. Still have the problem. Well, I WOULD have the problem if the &$#&^@#^! thing would give me HV!!! But that's another story. I'll revisit the bright vertical lines once I figure out what went wrong during retubing. Evil or Very Mad

Done.
I also added LVPS & HVPS parts. Forgot to grab the model#'s for those two devices though.

You might consider removing my post from your post's quotes, just so the old info in the quote doesn't confuse anyone.

Nice kit list Eddie. A definate keeper. For <$100 it doesn't really matter if the list isn't an exact fit for the vintage. I'd find a use for the odd bits eventually. Thumbs Up

question about the vdm.
on the vdm there is a ground pin which is unused, does it make sense to connect the ground pin to the ground of the chassis?
anyone ever tried this and measured it with a scope?

On earlier Marquees they had the ground pin connected and later they didn't for some reason. The main ribbon cabling has ground there as well as does the CVA. I tried it and saw no difference on the scope while looking at the defection waveforms
to the yokes.

the 1.2 resistors are koa resistors, what are koa resistors?
i ordered regular metal film 1.2ohm 1%tolerance, is it safe to use them or do they have to be koa?
i am modding my friends pj right now and i want to be absolutely sure regular metal film resistors do not damage the conv module.
in the parts list it says 1.2ohm 5%tolerance and the koa isnt mentioned.
