Basic Monito training repeat Oct 21?

[Rickn]

Hi Guys, I keep getting sporadic requests that seem to disappear to do a repeat of the monitor training session I have now done for over 300 people.
Here are some details:
approximately 4 hours first off would be a session explaining and demonstrating basics of CRT monitors.
Everything from connections, safety, how to do basic analysis and repair. This includes identifying circuits on the monitor board that are linked to the defective monitor. Almost unlimited if you want to know more, I will take the time to try to answer the question on the spot.
After words I will provide a copy of the PDF file I use for this via e-mail.
Next part will be how to tweak and set-up the picture tube. Convergence etc.
Should anyone have a monitor just in need of teaks and get it to me before hand it would be the free guinea pig.
Perhaps Tube rejuvenation, how to select a donor tube for replacement.

Then as time permits I will explain anatomy of an LCD.

I need a minimum of 6 people to make this worthwhile. Would be Saturday Oct 21st. Held in my garage/last work shop on Fairway Rd in Kitchener at starting at 10:00 am.
Cost is $85 per person.
If you are seriously interested e-mail me and use Monitor Basics 101 in the subject line.

Hi everyone, seems like there is not enough interest in the seminar this time around. Only have 2 positive in attending. This is last call I need at leats 5 to make it worth while.
Will wait until tomorrow to cancel it, thanks for your support.

Would definitely love to attend, but cannot make that day. A few folks on Facebook also mentioned a different date might work for them.

[Rickn]

Sorry the date does not work out for some that may be interested!
I do need at least 5 people to make it worth while.... so I guess Saturday is cancelled. Too bad, I may take one more shot at a date but I do not have anymore Saturdays free for quite a while. I do not usually suggest a week day as I assume most can not make it through the week.
Are my wrong?
I am trying my best to make things work out, but the seminar is more a thing I do to help!

If 3 more people commit for this Friday it still may be possible but need to know immediately.

Thanks again.

Rick

[Lordsxo]

I'll sign up to attend. Sending email.

[Newfie]

Screw it, I'm in too if it goes ahead. Email sent.

[Rickn]

Looks like we are good to go for Saturday morning after all.
Looking forward to it. I have already sent e-mails to the e-mails I received. If you did not receive the e-mail please let me know by e-mail. I do not know who is who when the forum uses aliases.
Still room for a few more, if interested e-mail me... please include your CGCC alias.
I have a few more additions to the content if time permits!

[Rickn]

We just finished about an hour or so.
I feel good the way the get together went and the verbal feedback was great.
I believe I gave the guys a lot of info in a short time!
I like helping others so I thank all the guys that came!

[Newfie]

Thanks for doing this Rick. It was a good combination of classroom type instruction and hands-on learning, especially the convergence demo. Plus your stories from your years of working in the industry were awesome. Good stuff.

[Rickn]

Thanks for the feedback (newfie) As always I feel good about doing these workshops!
Hope everyone got all the files with the PDF of the workshop, monitor schematics, Game manuals.
Thanks also to James that prompted it.
Unless I get some serious takers this may be the last one? Unless I get bored and have time on my hands LOL.
