HMV 905 , Pre War Television 1938 , showing the EMI 405 line sytem
Просмотров 3,5 тыс.3 года назад
These are the first tests of the HMV-905 after restoration . The video shows it running on the EMI 405 line system , also the Radio working , and inside and under the television . The dark circle on the picture is a ion burn , which these small tubes are prone to due to the low 2.5kv eht . This is the first time the television has worked for over fifty years.

These are the first tests of the HMV-900 after restoration. The video shows it running on the Baird 240 line 25 frame system ( which flickers ) and on the EMI 405 line 50 frame interlaced system. These are thought to be the first time the television has given a picture for over fifty years

The Pye D16T was the companies first post war model . They use the Pre War mains eht system to power the crt , which is said to be lethal if touched. The main difference between these two is the right side one has a UU8 rectifier valve on the lower power supply and the left side has a GZ32 rectifier

This is the only known Marconi 704 to still exist . Also the first time it has produced a picture for just over 50 years. These are the first tests in the cabinet after restoration. The video also shows the chassis running
Never saw a TV with a circle screen very interesting.
There are so many weird formats that you would never know of now if not for RUclips. Here in America I only saw VHS, Sony Beta, Laser Disc and RCA CED and Super-VHS and there was 8-Millimeter and D-VHS that's Digital VHS. The only ones that that did good was VHS and Laser Disc all the other formats came and gone in a year or two. Now that I think of it there was the Philips CD-i and Goldstar 3DO with a mpeg encoder add on and I think those was VCD. And there was encoder addons for PlayStation 1 and Sega Saturn to play VCD but you had to import those encoders.
I think the picture quality is even better than the Philips LDK-14 from 1977
You are correct, the larger tube diameter , gives, better resolution
I worked with these Cameras in BBC Manchester Studio A. Absolutely awful. Soft, noisy, low sensitivity, terrible black shading, and horrendous ringing on transients. Plus, almost impossible to register. When you think that this camera was of a comparable vintage to the epitome of tube cameras, the LDK 5, it is difficult to think of things that the designers didn’t get wrong. By far inferior to the EMI 2001 and Pye (Philips) PC80.
When I was looking for a large studio camera to restore, this was the only thing I could find, so took it and restored it, almost every board had a fault. I am now looking for another to do. I have managed to get original service manual sets for EMI 2001 and Marconi Mk7 and just this week Marconi Mk8, so looking for one of the above, for restoration, if anyone knows of one, then let me know in comments, and hopefully the next one will have a better reputation for picture quality
In many ways it was probably a fortunate choice, as you will certainly learn a lot of the nuances of maintaining tube cameras through working on the 2005. Also, on the plus side, access to the “innards” of the 2005 is probably better than that of most tube cameras. I wish you the best of luck in finding more cameras, you seem to have quite a setup there!!
Random question but does 240 lines use progressive scan rather than 405 interlaced?
Yes it does
This is actually insane to me…watching modern programs on a 1937 tube. Just magical.
Tubes!
Where was that 2005 from, BBC Manchester Studio or Bredon Wing at BBC Training Wood Norton?
They were also used at several BBC regional studios as well and this was one of them
I was one of the cameramen st BBC Tel OB’s operating this very camera. Still remember the bruised shoulder due to the flat base. We had at least 10 of them.
A fascinating piece of vintage technology. Thanks for sharing.
Astonishing picture quality for 1970! Broadcast television equipment was always state-of-the-art when it came to quality. Thanks for sharing. I was 5 years old in 1970.
Sophisticated Enough to be that Analogue.
Perhaps one of the more notable events this camera can be seen covering is on the stage at Live Aid in 1985 trying to keep up with Freddie Mercury...
Operated by Frank Hudson & Bob Wilson
i have a 4k camcoder sony handycam ax33 21 mpx and a 4k action cam
Ingenious construction it is hard to believed there are three tubes in there. The alloy machined case is a work of art, I have an AGEMA 550 Stirling cooled Thermal camera of this era and it is built like a tank, the colour viewfinder is a crt and the resolution is incredible it is less than a inch diagonal and a joy to see. Keep posting.
Nice to see an LDK14 still operating (and in good hands!) BTW, LDK stands for "Loverly Dutch Kamera", so I'm told.
I know it sounds rather ridiculous but imagine trying to use that as a security camera🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Probably going to end up grabbing one of those eng lenses for my gh7
As far as I know they only fit, the LDK 14 series and LDK 54
Would be lovely to see some direct capture from this and your EMI. Pointing a camera at a screen really doesn't do it justice.
I have done direct capture, but standard definition, always looks poor on colour and general sharpness. High Definition always works well
@@vintagevideo4044 You may find modern scalers like the Retrotink do a better job. Domestic capture cards are generally rubbish and it's better to use a converter/scaler then capture that as HDMI.
Thanks , I will have a look at one of them
Interesting that it had auto-cent as early as 1977. The Sony and Ikegami camera of the time didn't have auto cent. I believe it was the Sony DXC-M3 that had auto-cent in 1983-1984. What's the lens mount? B3? Looks like a Canon lens
That was Philip's first all in one, portable camera, with auto centering, it tells to work better, if all there tubes are like new, with a high output. Yes the lens is Canon, but uses a special Philips mount and connection plug, only for Philips cameras
Interesting. Thanks for sharing
Yes sass's sssssssssssssssßchusssssssaaasßssssssssusssssssssssssdkkkkkbussssssss
How did you bet more than 1 channel on the tv? From what i know, BBC (later BBC 1) was the only channel then. Did you retune it throughout the years?
I use a digital converter, you put standard 625 line video and sound in ,it converts it to 405 line or 240 line and also the original frequency of the aerial signal, so it plugs into the original aerial socket and no retuning is required
@@vintagevideo4044ok, thanks for telling me that!

I finished this video like 5 minutes ago and I still hear that noise LOL
A really tough job to adjust and register this camera! On todays modern CCD-camcorders you nearly have no controls at all! Everything can be done automatically!
What camera have you filmed this demonstration with?
Nice picture quality.
Were is this from? Who owns a camera like this today? And has it any use? Is it more of a museum piece?
Very nostalgic to me, who has worked with the Swedish Television Company. But not with this camera.....I think it was Ikegami three tube.....
When I built a TV-studio in 1973, the Sony black and white cameras had a resolution of 500 lines.....
It's because, 400 lines , is 5Mhz of picture definition, which was the specification of the Pal transmission standard, so that's all it had to do . But I know what you mean about Sony cameras I have some late 3 tube ones and they will do 650 lines though the pal system connected direct to the monitor
Why couldn´t we see all the controls on this very interesting piece of equipment? Instead of all these horse races!
Some controls are with the radio controls and the others are under a cover in front of the system standard switch, when I do these videos I try to do them live, so you can see how long it takes to come on then it just depends what's on television at the time , I never use recorded pictures
How can this old receiver show modern, 625 lines TV broadcasts?
Other enthusiasts make digital converters that convert 625 line television to any standard, you want and then you, just connect it to the aerial socket
Wow marconi EMI MODEL? 1937 tv model? Still working n 2010’s
This one was made in 1949
They spelled color wrong
Not on the UK, that's how we spell it
EMI 2005 i have 3 full restored here in my collection in brazil they was from tv iguaçu canal 4 curitiba i restores all cameras with new transistor and new capacitors also 3 NOS plumbicon tubes the picture is superb with LED indoor lights in my test room
Excellent, broadcast cameras , are a great, thing to collect
Something people often forget is the fact that, in Britain at least, a big reason for the government to spend so much money on TV when almost nobody watched it was so they had a reason to work on CRTs for radar without it looking suspicious.
looks way better then anything digital, tube cameras create a fantasy asthetic to the image , digital is so dull and lifeless
What about Family Guy...Nice .Tv.
Thanks for sharing thats really neat.
Must have cost a fortune in 1970.
Probably over £50k
@@vintagevideo4044 Right, so in 1970's money much more than an average home.
Yes, not many manufacturers ever published prices.

Footage on the TV looks crisper than the footage filming it
heh kinda funny how the little dirt specks on the CRT make little streaks of colour a few cm to the right. But hey - that means you don't need a special tape to do the alignment! Oh wait. You have one. (and again - kinda crazy - it's like S-Video, but on FILM!)
So interesting. Thank you! 8:51 Jurassic Park! :)
I've always wondered if these old broadcast cameras match DVD quality or excel it?
The main thing with camera picture quality, is how good are the pick up tubes, this camera has a very good set of tubes, so with careful set up, it can give a picture quality, that almost matches a DVD
The film footage reminds me of watching 70s TV shows The Sweeney and The Professionals 😃
I have to say absolutely outstanding, to bring this camera back into operational condition is amazing, how many hours has this taken and where did you start
I generally start, with the power supply and see how good some capacitors are , if ok then power everything up and then, sort out the faults which are present until, I get a good picture, which can take a lot of hours
@@vintagevideo4044 I take my hat off to you patients, outstanding work I love seeing those devices brought back to life , so you have any Link Electronics cameras
That old technology absolutely fascinates me. And to think of the intellect required to engineer such things. Generations of geniuses improving other geniuses work.
Very interesting NBN 3 (Newcastle Australia) got a mention ... I learnt TV craft with a few of these - late 70's. Moved on to making hundreds of TV commercials for an Ad agency with them, but not behind the camera. With the right pedestal it was a great camera use. And the quality was amazing ...Thank you EMI
Thanks, it is now on a proper Vinten tripod
@@vintagevideo4044 - mate - you have the camera ... the support looks OK - just dont point it left or you'll break the window ! ? Find one of these - www.smecc.org/vinten/fulmar.jpg You have a piece of broadcasting history, Mitch
Wow. My misses thinks I'm nuts for owning a DigiBeta camcorder, but this is going to a whole different level.
