Kent if you look at the 45:30 mark in this video it clearly shows all the 17BP4 Picture Tube and all the types of this Tube (A,B,C,D) in the SENCORE book (7th one down from the top left page). How in the world you didn't see this is mindblowing! Had you would have noticed that # tube was in the book when you first looked you may have never cracked the neck of the Tube because I believe that happened when you removed the socket and hung that heavy homemade adaptor on it that was most likely wired wrong and arced internally to the neck and cracked it being wired incorrectly causing it to short. I enjoy your mini reel to reel repairs as well as your piano videos, but in the future please leave the vintage CRT tube sets for Shango. ;)
Hello, and thanks for the feedback. If you look more closely at the video at 42:00, you will see the crack right before I turn off the lights. So, the crack occurred days before I hooked up the adapter. And you are correct. I overlooked the CRT number. That would have saved me a little time, building a new adapter, but the damage was already done, so there was no need to test. Chucked at your Shango comment. We all live and learn!
I have a question to those that repair these old analog tube type TVs. Just what use are they put to after you get them working???? In most areas there are no analog broadcasts anymore plus the picture quality is honestly pretty bad compared to todays sets. Looks like a waste of time to me.
You could say that any hobby is a waste of time. Ha. We are attempting to pass along a dying vintage electronics repair and preservation skill. I have three TV transmitters in my vintage media museum, allowing me to watch TV on my collection.

As soon as I saw the TV I thought, Shango would just plug it in. LOL.

Bringing the dead to life is tricky business
Oh no. :( That's the worst that could happen. I'm so sorry.
Stay tuned. It has a happy ending.
@@KOVintageTech You can't beat a happy ending ! (erm)
Mail it to mister Carlsons Lab. He knows how to fix it
@@jamesconway337 I’ll certain he would replace the CRT. Stay tuned!
