Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: It's a matter of degree




Here's the thing..Back in the late 80s and early 90s,VCRs like TVS have been for years before,had gone to a switch mode power supply.The switching noise from the SMPS hasn't gotten into those circuits and with TVs and VCRs,we have RF,video,audio,and even an AGC delay line, all enclosed in a small area. This does show that a SMPS can be properly implemented to do its job but again,they were using shielding and small chokes on the main rail. This is why I think would be fine but I won't say for sure.
Notice on this VCR that the guy is working on,no longer has the switch mode supply separate with a shield.It actually part of the same board.
