TechTuber Epictronics successfully repaired a vintage 20-inch Trinitron CRT monitor suffering from cataracts by injecting UV resin, showcasing the process in a video. The monitor, an Apple-branded Sony display from the mid-1990s, had air pockets that disappeared after the repair. The repair involved using a syringe and UV-curable resin to fill the gaps caused by delamination of the protective glass layer on the CRT tube. Epictronics also restored a Macintosh PowerPC 6100 base unit in the same video, addressing issues like a faulty optical drive and adding a DOS compatibility card with a 486 DX2-66 processor.
