Great to see this TV fully restored. I'm only 27, but I still love seeing old tech get restored. It keeps it out landfills and useful for a few more years. To quote one my favorite bands "Old does not mean dead. New does not mean best". For many people, myself included, older technology is still useful, especially if it still works. Even in gaming, CRTs, especially 1980s and 1990s models, are useful for playing retro games. They're particularly useful for light gun games, like Duck Hunt, Time Crisis, House of the Dead, etc. I often use a Sony Trinitron KV-13M10 playing Time Crisis on the PS1, using PS2 phat, composite cables, and a Namco Guncon. It's more fun to play with the Guncon, since I actually aim and shoot at targets on screen, rather relying on an awkward crosshair controlled by the D Pad. Not mention the CRT just helps hide the sharp edges of those old character models. It's just nice seeing these old TVs be brought back to life.
Yester-tech audio equipment also works great when playing back classic music albums. Imagine listening to classic Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Neil Young and Gordon Lightfoot albums using a silver face Pioneer or Yamaha receiver or integrated amp and higher end JBL speakers.
Watching that glue getting peeled / scraped off and then seeing the results once it was all reassembled was every bit as satisfying as watching someone power washing an old car that's been sitting under a tree for 30 years.
I know very well you grab that CRT by the neck to remove and reinstall just for a few seconds. Can't say I have ever taken the safety screen off of a CRT but have moved that steel belt around for proper fitment of replacements. I think someone purchased this new, then probably had dealer maintain it and yes replaced CRT with original rebuild. Its a nice unit. Great Job! And the sound of the Degausser kicking in really brought me back in time. Thank You
No kidding! When we were kids we couldn't afford a color set but some relatives had them. And wouldn't you know it ...Bonanza was the first color program I ever saw on a color set when visiting one Sunday night no less. Thanks for memory flashback.
I enjoyed watching this video, I also loved the very dry sense of humour all the way through !. I narrowly missed becoming a TV engineer just about the same time CRT tube TVs were at the end of their life. Although TVs at the time were still plentiful if you wanted a CRT. Many still say the CRT picture was better, we have 625 Lines here in the UK, PAL system. Those glowing valves are very reminiscent of my childhood, watching them slowly start up and the picture appear…you had to warm up the TV 5 mins before the program you wanted to watch !.
Of all your glowing tube chassis shots that has to be one of the most magnificent. What a great unit that is. Must have been a joy to own from new. Unless that CRT was an in warranty replacement which would have taken a little of the new off it.
Amazing result! The picture is like it is new tv... I mean for how 'new' 56 yo tv set ever can be. Really impressive result for something saved from trash.
It's great to see this resurrection. As I mentioned re: Part 1, ours was the 25" version. The louvred panels on the larger model could close across the television portion, protecting it from possible damage from children's toys such as balls of various sorts and sizes. Remember Superballs. The closed panels also revealed the more acoustically transparent speaker grilles. I believe the stereo amplifier had a bit more output to power those 15" woofers. It could be pretty loud when turned up. It could almost simulate the experience of a live orchestra as far as volume. But, it lacked somewhat noticeably in fidelity, especially above mid-volume.
You kept us waiting. Looking forward to this thanks. I’m working on a TV it’s only been three weeks I need to channel my inner Shangoo and get it powered up. Best regards Chris
PCPs were very abundant in virtually every oil type capacitor as well as some if not all coatings that were applied to transformer and coil windings. I enjoy your videos and have seen probably every one of them and its a very good precaution that you use latex or nitrile gloves on practically every device that you handle.
That turned out really nice. I don't know if I'd press it into service, though---the CRT is already weak, not sure how much time you'd get out of it. I always like the rear shot with the set running---those glowing tubes are what it's all about
Congratulations on a successful cataract surgery! It's working very nice now. Once you get all the convergence set up and everything, it'll look great. I'm glad you decided to save this unit and use it. Nice combo unit and sound!
Admiral did in fact make their own color CRTs from 1965-71. I'm sure that's a replacement as it is a Grade B tube. It's not likely to be an OEM on a high priced set like that. I remember the ads for their color sets in the late 60s offering a three year warranty on the CRT. "The best in the industry" they said at the time. I read on Videokarma that they also sold CRTs to Motorola.
The plasticizer they used back then was very corrosive. It was used in PVC coin holders, too. It corroded the copper in coins very badly; I think there were lawsuits. It turned into green slime like this.
Working on CRT's-The "riot" gear would be like what was used if you changed the Xenon lamps in cinema projectors.Those were under high pressure opposite of a CRT which of course is a vacuum.Either one can throw fragments if broken.
Looks great, a good and working 23EGP22 can make a beautiful color picture. Glad that PVA was so bad, the safety glass came right off, easily! I had that same easy removal a few years ago, on a 19" RCA 19EYP22 crt.
Ever install a crt and get the chassis in, then as you go to hook up the high voltage lead, you realize the crt is in upside down ? Been there done that.
That's when you invite those pesky neighbors over after turning the set over and invite them to watch it with you. Take pictures of course...take pictures.
The "rare" earth phospors were used in flourescent lamp formulations adn mercury lamp phosphor formulations-gave the warm color to the lamps.Would have been interesting to shine a UVB lamp on your phosphor sample to see if it would glow.
I've only encountered CRT cataract once on a booking system from the 70s (I'm into retro computing, therefore my contact to old CRTs is limited). The bonding material turned brownish-red, started to leak in a drippy goo that also smelled like extremely potent vinegar. Said system was nicknamed "greasy the bleeder" by us :) While I already had a rough idea how to fix it back then the machine changed owners before I could give it a go. I think the screen is still bleeding.
wonder if clear silicone wouldve been better? i've come across a 'hybrid' sealant thats almost glass clear, doesnt form acid and stink of vinegar as it cures..
Thanks for showing us that Rock that somehow gave the Red Phosphor to make the Colour Picture Tubes. I can remember a Lecturer at College saying that in early Colour T.V. Sets the Red Phosphor was the least efficient and they didn't bother with a Red Drive Adjustment. With the Red Gun going flat out the other two were adjusted to get the Grey Scale right. I suppose it could be true.
If I remember correctly, a while back you had to soak one for weeks (or a long time) to get it to come apart? Very good workmanship! Thank's for the video!
I wonder if the CRT was Re-Manufactured and had a new Electron Gun installed. Hence the Sticker about the new gun. A company near my Hometown called Chroma Tube did Re-Gunning in a small town near Hawley, PA. They closed about 10 years ago. I visited them a few times. At the time they had a big contract to Re-Gun small B&W CRT's that were used in Public Transportation Buses in Mexico. After that contract was done I believe they closed. I worked at the Sony San Diego CRT Plant in 1995 to 1999. I have seen more than one CRT Implode... In my area we put that RF Heated Band around the CRT with the 4 mounting ears. It was designed to make the center of the CRT Face BULGE out slightly. So when it Imploded it would BLAST into the GUN Direction. We had to cut a band each hour for Quality Control. We had a jig with a Dial Indicator that measured the movement of the bulge. If the Tech cut or nicked the CRT Glass cutting the metal band, it would result in an Implosion. www.tricountyindependent.com/article/20080619/NEWS/306199991
(@2:23) - note the rug on the ground displaying a color bar test pattern. The resolution is - of necessity - rather low due to the large size of the rug pixels. 🤣😆😝
it has a run down picture tube, some weak horizontal tube and is from 1965, well the picture of that old banger is very neat. I like the old and special US phosphor coatings. eu models had a different hue
Silly question. But why did they have those panels in front of the tube ?. Just to protect it ?. Thinking back to CRT's in my childhood (75 onwards), i think screens were just bare CRT's at that point.
Oscilloscopes had bare CRT's but all TV's as far as I know had either a thick shield glued on or right in front of the CRT. They started gluing them on to keep moisture and dust out.
I believe they were a safety device. Helps prevent implosion but also protect you incase it does. Without it, glass shards would fly out at you if it implodes which is why he has to wear safety gear when he removes it.
For a weak CRT, it still looks good. I had a 1968 RCA 19 inch "New Vista" "portable" that had sort of an anti-glare finish on the front that made the picture seem a little dull. You showed the same model sometime a year ago. Do you ever get moisture or fogging showing up later in between the shield and the front of the tube after gluing the shield back on? The stuff the factory uses looks like it fills up the gap between the tube and the shield all the way across.
It is sealed all the way around when he is finished. I think he is in a dry environment, so the humidity between the tube and safety glass is going to be relatively low. As to anything else besides water fogging of the glass, the only thing that could offgas and produce vapors would be a sealant. Being that he is using GE silicone 1, I doubt there is going to be much if anything. I wonder why he doesn't use GE silicone 2?
Shango, it did not solidify because you sealed it too well... there is no moisture inside so it got dry outside and remained liquid in sealed space in front of CRT (pudding effect). Silicone sealant needs moisture to get dry (silly but true). Leave a small hole then plug it after, or use different type of sealant.
Does anybody still do that anymore? There is an old video from the late 90’s on YT documenting the process. Fascinating, but the music drove me crazy. I cannot imagine how easy it would be to find new internal elements.
@@defconzero it takes up a lot of space and needs utilities, there's no almost no Market for that service. It would be an absolute horrible investment and waste of time
Oh I believe you on the patience part, seen you do a few of these, both the square tubes and the roundies. This is NOT uncommon, it's petroleum based glue - hence the oiliness. Even rubber is like this. Old rubber spatulas, like the older Rubbermaid spatulas with the plain white heads were like this, they'd break down, just from age if nothing else and crack and get sticky. I've seen some of the rubber spatulas my late mother had from Rubbermaid do this after a time. So far, I've not seen silicone do this and I have some that are around 15-16 years old now. They get gross just from grease deposits from cooking, but a quick clean with soapy water and they are fine. This one was definitely an oddity as the safety glass just popped off, but I could definitely see that it was very degraded, probably more than most of the ones I've seen you do.
Enough tubes in that set to heat up the whole room in the winter
Amazing how this dude brings these old TV's back to life ❗
Agreed, and I'm glad we have people like him to show us how it's done.

Interesting to hear about the rare earth phosphor. I'd like to know more about how these things are put together
That was fascinating. Especially with a "Rare Earth" label on the CRT, and Shango's knowledge of mining, and having a sample.
In these trying times it’s very nice to have something to come to for joy. Thank you for your service!

Important and interesting insights about the bulb shape. Good tips and warnings for others.

The CRTs in early computer terminal sometimes have that type of PVA... which then leaks oily corrosive gunk on the circuit boards and ruins them.

Newer CRTs have a metal anti-implosion band around them.
@@hotpuppy1 Is that true? I had an early transistor era 'scope in which the graticule printed on a piece of plexiglass mounted in front of the CRT.

Woah the picture quality is amazing
That lens would have fallen off if it weren't for the casing holding it in. Still, it made it a lot easier to fix. Good result.
What are your thoughts on using a hot wire to separate the lens from the CRT?
Shango, it did not solidify because you sealed it too well... there is no moisture inside so it got dry outside and remained liquid in sealed space in front of CRT (pudding effect). Silicone sealant needs moisture to get dry (silly but true). Leave a small hole then plug it after, or use different type of sealant.
