No sign of a SX32 yet, but I do have at least one CD1500 (CDTV Professional, makes CDTV a full computer) and a SCSI-TV.


I'm guessing the SCSI-TV is just a SCSI controller for the CDTV, but what the CD1500? Never heard of it, just the CD500 (you just got working) and the CD1000 regular CDTV...

@Tahoe

The CD1500 is the "CDTV Professional" expansion pack for the CDTV. It gives you a floppy, keyboard, mouse etc. It basically makes a CDTV into a full functioning computer.

@red:
Ah, thanx! So that was all bundled in a kit form? Here they were just sold seperatly.

I managed to source all those seperate parts, last was the trackball which is now on it's way to me. Finally I can use regular joysticks on the CDTV :)

Youtube made the video very dark again for some reason.

Yes, or at least I was for a while. Now it stopped working again. I am very suspicious of the power supply. Anyone have a pinout of the power supply?

Yup, I was right. The power supply has seriously leaky capacitors!!

Electrolyte looks a bit different and those types of capacitors doesn't leak unless they are explode.

I don't know about that. I have a Televideo TS-803H that didn't work and had leaky capacitors that looks just like that. I re-capped the whole thing, which took many, many hours, and it works like a champ now.

If not electrolyte, what is it? Glue?

-Edit-
I guess it is glue..

Could be glue or something from Mars.

Well, these capacitors are dry out over years so changing them could be a good idea to get a stable PSU again.

Inside this PS the leads are marked +5V, -12V etc. The green is marked CK and brown is marked SF. What the heck is SF and CK :-? CK shows ~2vdc AND 2vac on a MM. SF shows nada.
