    Most of the "dead spider" stuff you see, is actually the skin, or exoskeleton, that they have shed in order to grow. ( BUT, there is the live one @ 38:10 ) The warmth and convective air moving through the units, when working, draws bugs, and of course, the bugs draw spiders. It's always entertaining to see you resurrect an item that had some sort of infestation, every one is its own unique challenge.

    I kept laughing the whole video through. You have a very smart and unique sense of humour. A gift.
    Though I deeply searched there is no one else like you on youtube. Someone who does what you do, I mean the overall experience, just doesn't exist.
    Thanks for devoting time to entertain and educate other people. I really appreciate it like everyone here for sure.

      I think this is proof we don't need to see a radio fixed to know what needs to be done to fix it.

    For silver mica measure the coil ( stripped ) with an LC meter & plug it into the formula with the
    res freq you want. Say 455 or 10.7. That will give you the cap value.

    • @michvod

      Or disconnect the coil and measure the capacitance of the caps. If not totally leaky or shorted, they will read -20/+20 % of their initial value

    What a shame. That was a beautiful set just abused and trashed. You never see sets like this of this era in the Cincinnati area. All have been thrown out. Not the Chinese style but the smaller TV radio combo. You can still find the monster combos because they were so hard to move. The easier it is to throw out the more likely there are none to survive.

      Same here. 0.47 uF or 1.0 uF is about the largest I've ever seen for a disc ceramic cap (also over decades as an electronics tech). I wouldn't have chosen a ceramic cap for a crossover, but my guess is that this was a cost-cutting alternative.

    It is not often that a radio video leaves me with a grin but this one did. I would have just given this one a Simple Green bath, a brushing and then Rinse and Repeat! That is just what I used to do back in the late 60's when I first worked in a TV shop. The guy I worked for could have cared less about the dirt dust and hair balls. I could not stand it so I cleaned up all incoming TVs and radios before repairs. Ahhh the memories!

      I had a early sansui receiver that had them in push-pull. It made around 16W channel and was very clean and had a powerful sound despite being somewhat weaker than EL84. It was a model SM-32. You can look it up if you want. It's quite rare.

    That 3 uF disc capacitor is new to me, never seen one of that high a value!
    I agree with your take on the old filter capacitors. Not the demons that the almighty internet gurus like to claim. I'm running the original multi tap filter cap on an old pulled HiFi chassis no problem. Replaced many wax caps but stopped there.

  • @janosnagyj.9540
    @janosnagyj.9540 2 года назад +4

    That 2.2uF disc is a first to me as well. Specially this old! And I'm sure you are right with the explanation about the distorted sound: rated at 3V only, it is definetely starting to arc on the peaks! But even if the bass speaker pulls down the output voltage a little bit, these must be 4Ohms then as the output power at about a watt and a half would go over that voltage limit if the speaker impedance is higher than that. Interesting design, and right on the limits...

I have a 1964 Zenith AM-FM radio that has one of those disk caps feeding it's tweet tweet. I have a bin of those low voltage high mf value disk caps since the 70's, I think they were meant more for low voltage transistor usage, then for a cheep tweeter speaker coupler.

    I have always liked the black background with gold accent of this type of art. I have never seen it on a combo cabinet like that, perhaps because I never lived on the west coast, closest I ever came was either Fort Lewis Washington, or Topock Arizona. I recall buying a painting in a village in Vietnam that was black lacquer with Chinese art on it, perhaps it was Japanese because I believe it had a pagoda on it. Had it hanging in my hooch for the first half of my tour of duty in Vietnam back in 1970. I wish I could come on a working stereo with that sort of finish, I would love to have one setting in my living room.

      If you look at where spiders set up webs, its usually in places with air movement, or in a spot in a dark area where a light might come in from an exterior window, or near a light fixture. They know that those 2 conditions will always draw food to them. Roaches always love electronic appliances that create heat, so they will find them quick and set up shop. I don't take "curb find" TV's home anymore, but if I do find something smaller I might like, I will put it in a extra large trash bag, spray a can of RAID into it for about a minute, and then seal it up and let it sit for over a month. I figure that should kill off anything that came home with the item.

I would think that there ma have been some horns with this console, which someone may have removed. or maybe, the horns were an Upgrade. but that is what, the Disk on the speaker is used for, and yes it is a Bi-pass. but, as a protection against damage towards , the other speakers(Horns).
    If I remember my Micromatic's chasis - The speakers did have the same parts on the speakers.
    Yes, that was done by the Manufacture ... Most Likely! this is why, using the phono plug Rca Ports!

    39:08 The use of a 4" radio speaker as a tweeter seems a bit odd, even for 1960. I'll bet it was a fraction of the cost of a real tweeter.

    Too bad that set is in that condition…. It’s a shame, you don’t see any sets from the late 1950s - early 1970s, not even the big and heavy combo units where safe, and they’re getting more and more rare everyday with people repurposing these old sets…..

    im working on a vintage television myself what would cause no image and no sound. Is it the high voltage not working if so whats some easy steps to figure it out?

    • @eDoc2020
      @eDoc2020 2 года назад

      The high voltage is only used to light up the picture tube. If there's also no sound you probably don't have the low voltage supplies working. Troubleshooting is different if it's tube or solid state.

      @@SmileyRiley66 Usually there's a big metal can capacitor (or a few) somewhere on the chassis. You should see voltage on its terminals when the set is powered. I'm suspecting you won't see any. If you look at a schematic there won't be very many components before that point.

      @@SmileyRiley66 A blown 5U4 might be caused by shorted electrolytic capacitors. You should definitely check those before powering up if you don't want to cause more damage. I would remove the horizontal output tube and power on at reduced voltage, slowly bringing it up. If any caps get warm replace them right away. If everything else more-or-less works you'll probably get audio and ticking from the vertical circuit.
