Never went that deep into a TV here but mainly repaired and resold not ancient sets. It's cool watching you really test and go through the complete set and explain how it works and all that as you go. Knowing Zenith it will have a good picture once it's up and running 👍
It's always so exciting when that first fuzzy picture appears on the screen. Looking forward to seeing it with the full size picture tube. 👍😊
Bob Nice addition to the other videos and very fun to watch loved it and was very happy to see this video and glad you take the time on this. waiting for next installment thanks Mike
Very cool to see that one come back to life!
Great job Bob, looks like a really good picture on the little CRT. Once you get it all dialed in, this one looks like a really good performer.
Perhaps. Using that tiny 5" screen can be deceptive as it hides flaws. I'll put the full size CRT in soon and we shall see.
wow the one tube looks like its bent sideways out of the socket but the sockets made that way. Made room for the crt, but my senses just wanna grab it and straighten it!
Nice set.
Nice job bob,
As that set came off the assembly line in the late 1940's, Zenith probably had to really hustle to find sufficient supplies of electronic components to accommodate for the spike in demand for television sets. There was probably still a shortage of semiconductors so soon after the war. This set doesn't appear to have any war-surplus components as the demand probably burned through that supply pretty quickly.
Very cool tv !
Excellent job! These Zenith porthole sets with the live CRT cone and the huge tuner are quite interesting. I worked on a 19" set a couple of years ago where the CRT tested bad initially, but took a rejuvenation with the Beltron! Like you did here, I did the same thing and used a 5AXP4 from an old Tele-Check unit for testing before reinstalling the original CRT, and also had to remove the focus coil in order to get focus on the test tube.
Was also wondering how Zenith expected anyone to adjust that internal oscillator knob up against the metal cone... plus while in the case you'd have to reach over the tuner? That's a crazy setup.
No kidding. Like playing the old operation game 😳
wow
That high voltage lead almost bit you. Figures that when it pops off it heads in your direction. I'm too much of a coward to have just clipped it on there, I would have secured it with cord or something.
Oh it did bite me. Barely felt it though. High frequency and very low current.
I might have folded and tied an alligator clip test lead and used that to attach to the CRT and the HV lead, crude looking but more likely to stay attached where it needs to be.
I hate spraying tube sockets. Have thought about dipping tube in cleaner just the pins and inserting.
Yes, I spray deoxit onto the tube pins, insert, remove wipe off and repeat
That tuner is an absolute beast , it literally 'rocks' the chassis it seems when operated! Great work.Have you considered maybe someone with a 3D printer to remake the 'lucite' CRT mount?( I don't have one,LOL,but it would be cool to try)
I don't know if I'd want to trust a 3D print to hold away 9000 volts.
Kinda surprised zenith didn’t just put a rubber shield around the crt.
That would be a massive piece of rubber
@@bandersentvI dunno. Split a inner tube for a car tire.
Not sure if you mentioned the crt number, IM just curious
12UP4
...if the capacitors are "leaking"- why don't you call in a PLUMBER-(?)
(get it? get it? get it? snucker-snucker-snucker!!)
