World’s most bad quality black & white tube tv.

It's gorgeous 😍

why didnt the people back then make circuit boards the internals of this tv agrevate me

God, if people from those times had a look at what TV'S we have now, im sure they would have a heart attack

HEY! BE RESPECTFUL TO THE DUST, IT'S OLDER THAN YOU!

It looks like a crt projector lol

The first TV I bought, while in college, was a space command unit from this same era. Zenith had in mind that it would be serviced by changing the circuit boards, not repairing them. (thus the plugs on the boards everywhere) They did not last much longer in business, due to bad business decisions and competition from Asia. These televisions mark the end of a once great company.

What? I thought televisions were really really big in the 1940’s. I didn’t know there would be one that’s so portable.

I collecting and restoring nordmende tube radios, but get a tv working is at another Level.really nice work,the picture quality is excellent.

Sistema NTSC ANALOGICO sin duda alguna MUCHO MEJOR se ve mas REAL 👏👏👏👏👏😁😃👍👍que ni las MUGRES pantallas con su dichoso STDT.

a great set

I’m not sure how the algorithm sent me here but this was a really well made video. I know nothing of CRT but your pacing and editing was really well done and I enjoyed this. Plus the restoration was kinda relaxing and satisfying as well lol. (:

Do you sell

Weird to think Americans were watching advanced sets like this in 1949, when us Brits barely had indoor plumbing!

I’m so happy that you understand the definition of restoration. Doing everything you possibly can to return them to their original glory. Like you, I also enjoy restoring antique radios. The number of complete antique radios and TVs (unhacked or modified) gets fewer everyday. Makes me sad. You made my day, thank you!

That looks like a nightmare but god damn it’s cool

You are not supposed film movies for that long

Bu televizyonları tamir etmek kolay değil, bulunmayan parçalar var onları bir şekilde bulmak ta en büyük sıkıntı

Thank you for restoring these machines. The people of the future also send their kind regards. It is super important that some machines are conserved via restoration. It's such a shame today's machines are not worthy of restoration, because there is nothing beautiful, or exceptional about them; they're simple expendable commodities.

Outstanding, sir!

Vert nice set! Jack, would you have any information about a PhilcoUH4672L? I know it's from 1958 and it has the pop up tuners, however I can't find any other Info on this set. It seems unless it's from the Predicta line, it didn't exist 😂

Don't know if you have a HDTV converter box or have watched broadcast (OTA) TV lately, but there are tons of sub channels playing the B&W classics : have gun, rawhide, Lawman, twilight zone.... 📺

Boy, this guy really knows shit from shinola!

Nice Job....Thanks for taking us along!

Really nice tv 😊

why did u use walnut veneer when the original was oak?

I'm so happy to have found your channel! This is fantastic to see these beautiful old TVs ! I grew up in the late 60s and early 70s, and I always dreamed of TVs like we have today, but I kind of miss the big console televisions. It was basically a piece of furniture as well. I can't wait to see more of your videos!!🙂👍👍

As someone who will never be known to be speechless, I'm totally dumbfounded throughout this video. KUDOS!

What a beautiful antique talking box with picture… It's beautiful thank you so much for fixing it…

Some go clubbing some watch your video. Not everyone is awesome 😂

As a kid, my dad had our Crosley Super 11 restored. Awesome man

Can I ask what was even being broadcast in 1949

Amazing video quality capabilities of the screen before it was even possible 🤯

So awesome!

Das riecht ganz gewaltig nach deutscher Technologie. Nur wenige wissen, daß die großkotzigen US-Amerikaner den größten Patentraub, der jemals in der Geschichte stattgefunden hat, an den Deutschen begangen haben. Es geht nicht nur um Television. Es geht um Kondensatorentechnik, um Transistortechnik, Triebwerkstechnik, Luftfahrt, Raketen und vieles andere. Alles habt Ihr uns genommen. Ersatzlos, einfach so. Und dann habt Ihr den großen Reibach gemacht. Ihr US-Amerikaner habt die Engländer als die größten Kriegstreiber dieser Welt abgelöst. Schande auf euch! Ihr bekommt aber noch eure Rechnung. Alles in der Geschichte rächt sich irgendwann. Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland.

My grandfather had a portable tv set in the 40s with a round screen like this. It was leather covered and had a carrying handle. I believe it was a Motorola, too

Your work is simply amazing! I wouldn't know how to begin. Thanks for the video.

Looks great!

I picked up one similar to that out of someone's trash when I was a kid. It still worked. I used it in the basement while playing with various electronics. I remember watching Laugh-In while chatting with my buddy who was building an amplifier.

Why is an ancient TV restoration channel the most wholesome comment section on RUclips? Nice videos by the way

That’s for the birds

I have some melted wax falling off of my 1960 Magnavox flyback. I don't see any arcing (yet). Do you have any recommendations on how to re-cover it?

When you showed the underside, I could smell that classic "vintage electronics" smell through my computer screen. I love that smell, especially when you start desoldering, and soldering. It's tantamount to "old book" smell in my opinion.

That looks like the original CRT with the low-voltage filament, and in near-new condition, which is rare! I've heard the tube sockets in these sets are pretty flimsy. It was smart to replace them. One doesn't find bad *brand new* electrolytic capacitors very often, only seemingly when you least expect it!

Meanwhile, modern TVs break after 1 year or less.

That circuit mess almost looks like my drawer mess.

Many people fall into this trap, thinking that a new component must work properly 😄
