      @trainliker100 3 года назад +5

      Except that newer TV's have better resolution, better color, seldom go out of adjustment, never need to have a tube replaced, have a better picture format, support multiple technological inputs (versus only having a "tuner"), are more compact, use less materials in manufacture, and are VASTLY more affordable. Lets assume that console cost $300 in 1960 (and it was likely somewhat more). $300 in 1960 equates to $2,707 in 2021. TV's, and especially color TV's, back at that time were a major purchase for most families.

      @@aaronblair9583 Yes, it's quite horrifying that people cook their expensive power tubes with leaking paper coupling caps... My point was, the vertical and horizontal deflection circuits are very sensitive to leaking caps. The geometry was pretty good despite the mismatched yoke, so these caps are not leaking horribly, despite they were outside in the rain and condensing levels of humidity for who knows how long. Pretty good from a paper cap (and not just A paper cap, but dozens of them)! They may fail within 50 hours of use or less, but it was nice they didn't failed instantly.

Using a screwdriver for testing for EHT on the Top cap anodes of the line output stages. If you had a nice blue lick of flash over to the screwdriver then we knew the valves(Tubes) in UK were good.
    I use to love spending many hours a day fixing all the neighbour's black and white TV,s.
    Our Valves(Tubes) here in the UK were numbered a lot differently to USA with PCL85 as a Vertical amp and EY86 as the EHT rectifier for the final anode voltage.
    Amazing how such an old TV picked up Mexican TV station 😊👍👍.

      @@GoldSrc_ Huh? I was talking about the neck, not the cone. The cone can be recoated, yes, but there's no aquadag on the neck. At 9:05, you can see a translucent grey tint on the neck, near the socket, because the inside is coated with a thin metal layer, which comes from the slow evaporation of the filament and the cathode coating's material. Its presence means a lot of working hours. Probably many tens of thousands of hours, at least 20-30k.

Looks like all Black & White TV sets take the same yoke even if its from a way different TV. Your the best repair Man in this Country. You can get any TV working even if it was run over & smashed by 10 Trains on the Tracks. With all You can do I am sure you will find a way to make your own CRTs color & Black & White. To bad your going to trash the set after all the work you put in to it & got one very good Picture on it. You should totally restore the cabanet & redo the wood & some one will buy it as there is not manny of them TVs like that out there. There is not a TV in the world that is damaged bad enough that You can not repair. great Job on this.

    There are so many videos where ppl smash devices for fun. It makes me mad.
    But yours are so satisfying to watch.
    The set was left to rot, partially eaten away by the elements and the moment it coughs to live while you fix it. tuning in a channel after decades.
    Great :-)
    Love the channel. Rgds

    I'm not a person that could ever even think about doing something like this myself, but there is something magical about seeing something like this come alive again after multiple unknown years of sitting around and being pissed on.

    It almost looked like the TV set wasn’t used quite as much as the radio ?. It deserves being rehoused in a new made cabinet, made in original 60’s style. I’m sure many cabinet builders would love that job. Once done it would be worth a lot of money to a collector especially in working order.

    I want that channel indicator panel. Same as my grandpa's TV in the 60s. I learned to count by the numbers that lit up in the grid, always thought the lowest number was 2. Never learned about the number 1 until kindergarten.

    I am so surprised the CRT wasn't necked by the miscreants that defaced it with graffitti. Amazing how it was able to survive downtown LA!

    For some reason, I always picture Shango's shack as a place full to the brim of old electronics, with TV's and radio's all over the place, and most of them have their lids off and alligator jumpers sticking out each of them, strewn this way and that :D. He sits at his desk, quite proud of himself, watching and listening to old electronics that should have been filling dumps long ago. Should one of them act up, he just taps on the tubes with an old wooden chopstick, and should it continue to screw up, he unplugs it, replaces it with something appropriate, and puts the temporarily broken piece of electronics in the back of the repair queue, never to see the light of the bench again :D. Ah, perceptions. :D

    Since you got a reasonable picture on it now I would be curious to see what the picture tube reads now since it has a little time on it. It may have come up in emissions.

    I remember when I was little going to different house sales after old folks passed away and seeing these types of units very often with the B&W CRT and Turn Table + AMFM. So many of these are getting thrown out even with their age because the people who owned them pass away and no one wants to pick them up. I recently found an 86 Sears Console Color TV cabinet. The kind that sits on the floor. I honestly could not find anything else now. Most sales only have those somewhat forgettable 90s plastic fantastic tvs that litter street curbs every trash day. Just don't see a lot of woodgrain or console units in general, which is why I picked mine up. Yeah its a solid state and yeah the thing has a cap going out but its American made and a different style. I do have a 1942 RCA Victor 9t240 (something along those lines). The tubes light up inside but no picture. I am not electronically good to fix it so I've been keeping it in my basement for the past 10 years. It was a rescue from a deceased really really old person. Might not find another one like that in the wild
