pvm 20n5e or Sony Trinitron KV-X2503E

[karmeck]

I have arranged travel for the crt for tomorrow and now I finally hear from someone ready to sell a pvm to me, in Sweden.

The problem here is my ride will only go one way.
I have to chose.

The crt will just work and is easily connected to my raspberry pi with scart. Asking price $80

The pvm here however only have the word trinitron in the upp left corner, I have heard that thees are the not so special pvm's. Asking price $200..

And the pvm might not even work with a scart->BNC converter. And that will mean further expenses on a product from Retrotink.

What should I chose?

Hello there googler, I notice Im on top on the search result for this tv model. Here is the service manual you are looking for:

the name might not be correct but it covers several models, including the one you are looking for.

As long as the tube's in good condition I'd go with the KV-X2503E since it has RGB input (I'm assuming it does). That PVM's limited to s-video.

2 scart i are to be found and I assume at least one of them have rgb.

Many thanks to you for this reply. This helps me allot. The TV it is.
