Cool set Bob it is going to be a treat for me to see the progress this was exciting to watch can't wait for next video many thanks Bob. Best regards Mike
I have the 20X model. The cabinet is in similar condition, very pristine. Most of these I’ve seen have been in excellent cosmetic shape most notably the gold printing on the cabinet front. It’s often all there with little loss. I LOVE it. Bakelite overdose. My wife calls it R2D2…a little less in love than her husband!
Hey Bob , thanks for sharing your knowledge and time involved. It’s given me the confidence to attempt myself. I’ve just recapped and replaced all the hi watt resistors on a 30B1. I just powered it up and I have decent rastor and volume is there.
Great video! Glad this set looks like it is coming to life quite well, and Pilot seems to agree and thought that you should proceed with it. Although you did not mention it, I could actually hear the vertical transformer in the video. Like you, I have been working on stuff for other people mostly lately, and hopefully this winter, my day job which has been super busy may finally slow down enough where I could start getting to some of my own stuff- including one of these 10" Admiral Bakelite consolette TVs! Right now I happen to be working on a Bakelite Admiral AM radio/phono combination, early 50s, as a Christmas present, it uses and RCA plug and jack that looks just like your TV here for the audio connection from turntable to chassis.
It's nice to have a set that hasn't been serviced before. This set looks as if a factory modification was installed in the field. Reforming each electrolytic using an external power supply with a high value resistor in series to provide a trickle of currents is my preferred way to reform. Every other electrolytic connected to the cap through a resistor will be reformed as well. You have to watch putting your meter across the cap being reformed; since the meter has an input resistance of 10 megohms, this adds to the leakage.
In this context it has to do with the response of the beam current in the picture tube to the voltage potential between the cathode and the first control element. If this response is wrong, the picture will not look right even if the rest of the circuitry in the receiver is OK and adjusted OK (the picture will either be washed out or be too contrasty).
Hey Bob, regarding the pile of horse bones that is recapping. GRRRRRR you're in there, swap it out! Or would you rather put it all back together and have it fail because of some paperwaxy you left behind. This is my thinking as well. This set is going to be fun to follow.

最も古い丸型ブラウン管で復元するまでは素晴らしいことです。とても役に立ちます。楽しい動画を見せてくれてありがとう！💯👍
Good video, Bob! I enjoyed it a lot.
Recently acquired one of these sets, chassis revision Q. Great to see a series of this particular set.

I too have a probe like that they are handy when you don't want to breakout the larger one !
10:37...there's WOOFER...(!)
What is "cutoff" and why is it important? I really enjoy your channel!
@@rods3421 Yes please, I too would like to know

Do you think wirewound resistors can drift in value over time? (3K->4K)
I think they don,t
I think they can but not nearly as much as carbon comp resistors. I think wirewound resistors change value if stressed (overloaded).
Ahh Understanding the difference between restoration and resurrection. The english language is very confusing I know
How true! This is starting out as a resurrection but will transition to a restoration!

When you say you have a dog in your shop, it's a literal dog, not a difficult to repair set.
