Try as hard as he might, the man with integrity tries to fix the broken picture on the tube. He gets it working each time, but the broadcast that comes through will never go back to what he remembers it like. The irony of him wanting to save the nostalgia of the previous version of propaganda, just because it was a little better. Will we also try to save the propaganda we hate today and grew up with, just because its a little more comfortable compared to the onslaught hellscape we will face in the future. Thank you sir, that old tube working again, does make me feel more comfortable. Respect.
Shango your repairing these old CRT televisions has really helped me fix my 1936 Marconi radio I would have given up on but for your persistance in repairing these old tv's.
Shango.....just amazing. Watching this is literally like watching a long-dead person be reanimated and brought back to life. Almost spooky, you half expect 1962 programs and news broadcasts to appear on the screen....
This resurrection deserves an electronics version of an academy award for best picture. Can't believe it works!
You are truly an incredible technician Shango.
Doing the Lord’s work and defibrillating these cast off items. Thanks Shango!
The cynicism of George Carlin and the experience of 30 TV repair men of the day. Always a pleasure to watch here in the UK :)
That was grandma's TV, she watched her favorite soap operas and game shows on it for 50 years, while she smoked her specialty unfiltered, black asbestos tobacco cigarettes. The dear soul recently passed on to the great brake relining shop in the sky at the ripe old age of 105 with one of her favorite cigarettes still between her fingers.
Your grandma was fortunate that she lived as long as she did -- mine was the same way. Even as a 6-year-old, I thought it was counterproductive for a woman in her 60's to *constantly* sit in front of her TV chain-smoking her Pall Malls, frittering away her days watching those ridiculous soap operas and TV game shows. (My grandma had a 19" B&W Sylvania with a picture tube going dim.)
Actually a really good candidate for a restoration. Plastic cabinet is not cracked wich is rare, CRT is in great condition, the little feet are there... That set restored would look and sound really good, look at those 2 big speakers!
A year older than I.
I remember a hospital in 1977 had black and white tv's in the patient rooms. They had motorized rotary channel changers.
The patient could change channels by a wired remote.
P.S. you can use that tv as a whistling tea kettle, lol. Congrats on the resurrection!
I was born 1977
I recall some mid '70's Sylvania color sets at our local hospital that had a motorized tuner. By about '87, those were replaced with Magnavox sets with digital tuning and I think a few of those are still in use.
I remember back when I was a kid in early 70s I went into the hospital for a week and all the tvs had this motorized vhf turner,nothing good on but soap operas,so I had my parents bring my portable tv from home because all the good stuff was on uhf.
I never get tired of these resurrection videos. Really interesting the time it took for the caps to reform and then held.
Shango,if you’re curious as to what the remote control looks like,there’s a photo of it on the cover of SAMS set 651,folder 3. The tv shown on the cover is a model 3112. Looks identical except for the knobs and what appears to be a uhf tuner on the top
I hope you’ll do a video on some of your new in the box set.
Nice forward look I got a 61 dart 👍
I got a fresh pot of coffee, its Saturday morning, and a fresh dose of Shango! let er rip dude!
Black and Whites were always my favorite and the smaller the sharper. Gave up on TV long ago yet still enjoy your videos. Really enjoyed "1961 Sears Silvertone Console Stereo Repair"
When I was a young man, back in the 1970's I had a strip mine/landfill behind my house. We occasionally ran across an old set like this and we would carry them to the edge of the cliffs and roll them into the pond at the bottom. This one looks like that happened to it! lol. Great video.
Just thinking how much money you could make these days yanking the tubes out and selling on eBay. Nice sideline for a kid to supplement his allowance. None of these tu e TV left now though.
@@fizzyplazmuh9024 Nah, not anymore, tubes are fading into history and losing demand.
I bet repairing the broken ground traces might improve the audio weirdness in this set. If the grounds for related sections need to go through convoluted paths there's a good chance it's picking up some unwanted signals.
This reminds me of Electrohome TVs from this period. They had the fold down chassis, except no PCBs. Electrohome made a lot of TVs in Canada for Eaton's, the Hudson's Bay Co., and Simpson's-Sears (the Canadian division of Sears, Roebuck, & Co.). They also owned a share in CTV, Canada's first private TV network. They were based in Kitchener, ON.
It sucks they tore it down ,Kitchener sucks as of late. I have a 19" color electrohome tv in my storage unit. And my living room fan an 80s one its really nice.
You should always disconnect the negative battery terminal first and put it on last on your truck. The reason why is if the wrench touches the body or frame, which is connected to ground, it will be a dead short. If you don't drive it more than a week at a time, do yourself a favor and get a battery maintainer and keep it plugged in. Lead acid batteries that aren't kept at 100% charge, 12.6 volts, the electrolyte converts to water when it discharges even just a little bit. When that happens, the lead plates begin to sulfate and it's only downhill from there. Just giving you a heads up.
Thank you for taking the time to record your methodology of how to repair CRT's! I don't know much about them but after watching some of your videos, it's completely changed how I think about diagnosing them. I'm hooked now. Can't think you enough for taking the time to share your knowledge!
I like your video because from the early 80's to the late 90's I used to buy old tube stereo systems. Back then, people almost give them away as there was a huge power war and theses old systems weren't powerful enough anymore. Almost 80% of the time it was a shorted power capacitor or a leaky one in the driver section, weak/ unbalanced power tubes. I still have an old Fischer 800c from that time and a Dynaco st-70 with pas-3 preamp in my basement with my movie setup. I gave my eico st-70 to my oldest daughter when she got an appartement. I wouldn't change thoses systems for any of the ones that they sold today. I replaced the eico 7591 outputs tubes 3 years ago as in the early 2010's they didn't offer any replacement that fitted in the case. I bought the jj replacement and they do the job just fine. I used to restore old jukebox and radios too and, as I live in a quite rural area, I've made myself a 50w AM plate modulated transmitter for my old radios. I play the infamous 1938 Orson Wells martian invasion each Halloween. And many radio mystery theater and xminusone sci-fi radio program. It's nice. I subbed.
You do great work at resurrecting these TV’s with all of their issues.
I have my antique radio permanently connected in series with a 200w bulb.
its great safety and it drops the insanely high voltage from 240v to a more normal 220
Can't believe you pulled that one off. Looked pretty hopeless. Amazing. And that picture! Wow.
Shango, you never fail to impress me. I ALWAYS look forward to your Saturday morning video!
A few new capacitors and you could use this as your supper time TV. ;) (if only it didn't look like it has been dropped from a cliff, or like it was sitting next to some guy using a side arm grinder, throwing all the cuttings at it) ;)
Wow, that horizontal output tube was a super sparkle-pony! 🤩
😸🤩✨✨💫🌟🤩🤩 yes
Your Video's keep me Happy through the Covid Days and todays my Birthday. Thanks for getting me to the old age of 66 years shango66 and may God keep them coming to the End of times.
Another amazing Shango resurrection. Great work.
Amazing that this set is working and very well at that.
These are the videos I come here for. Watching and learning the diagnosis is what keeps me coming back
“so cheesy with the little sparkles” 😂
I love the old TVS!!
Shango that valve turned into a plasma ball!
Nice Easter Egg at the end. I worked for the company that made these and was amazed when opened the PCB looks as good as new. It was fun trying to analyze things through that snot when it was fresh.
Simpson's was an established Canadian department store that teamed with Sears in the 1950s. All Sears stores in Canada were closed by the end of the Christmas 2017 season. Simpson's name was also gone by 1990 when their stores were merged with rival Hudson's Bay Co.
Haven't even watched the video yet, but the thumbnail already got me
Yay Saturday morning Shangtoons
Wow! This set produced a really nice picture considering you didn’t do much to it!
I really like the design of this tv,especially the speaker grille knobs and the legs.
The first Sears catalog I can find that this tv appears in is 1963. Im sure it was around in 1962 though.
Their ad shows the back off of it in the background so you can see the dual speakers and swing down chassis. This model started at $179.99. Remote model slightly higher. They had a version with a painted mask and speaker panels!
I’d love to have one of these!
That's a pretty *expensive* TV!!! According to the U.S. Inflation Calculator, the price of that set in 2022 dollars is $1,668.82!!!
Very cool that "Mr. Carlson" can watch your videos from his immaculate, ultra-organized workspace as you work on junkpile electronics in the gritty outdoors with well-worn test equipment, and respect you as a like-heart in doing what you both love...sweet!
Again, well done bro! No better such channel on the whole youtube!
Love your videos - I’ve managed to resurrect a Panasonic set, a Sony set, a weird DEC terminal, and a few computer monitors with the techniques you describe. Channel 28.3 NHK from Japan that you were watching near the end is actually really good
Good lord you fixed a TV that was made when I was born...I remember being in the hospital for surgery on a broken arm as a boy and there was one of these in the room. You press the remote control and it rotates the dial through a series of clicks. Sears was a big thing back then, lots of TV sets.
Considering how filthy that set was and the damage to the PCB, I am surprised you got a good picture on it so easily!
I haven't had my capacitor reformed in almost 2 years..
Amazing selection of OTA channels you have there in Los Angeles!!
We had six analog TV channels, until a few years ago. Now there is nothing. Only major cities in Canada got digital OTA.
Another great video from the master himself keep it coming your videos are entertaining and educational as always
Saaayyy! That IS a really good picture for B&W.
Man, 1962 - That was the year that Dad brought home a floor model used B&W television! Our first TV. The farm we were living on was our first home with power that we lived in, we had just moved from the "Home" place to that place that. dad rented from an old fart who chain-smoked horrid cigars. Previous owners had erected a television Antenna on an outbuilding that sat just a few feet from the little ranch house which was haunted (Honest to God!). Man I was in heaven to have a television, things I had only seen on visits to relatives who lived in houses with power. I guess I recall the year because it was just before President Kennedy was shot in Dallas. We were in our in-town rental property when that happened. I was in the 5th grade on that place, walked the 3/4 mile to school on most days to the fancy one room schoolhouse that still stands, fancy because it had an entry and cloak room and very tall windows. Even a small library in the back of the classroom.
Just LOOK at all the roach feces! 😆 Seriously though, I'm picking up a low hour 1959 Silvertone Medalist this weekend #9186A. It's the first vintage TV I'll be working ion since about 1987... I need to find all my old test equipment
Makes me want to stick a frozen TV dinner in an aluminum tray into the toaster oven. Mmm turkey swimming in gravy, mashed reconstituted potato flakes, peas in margarine sauce, and mystery fruit compote.
Jason - And eaten on folding TV tray tables in front of the TV, watching Jerry Mahoney and Knuckle head Smiff at dinnertime of course. Gee I hated those gummy, sour, "fruit" compotes.☹
@@cmans79tr7 And get up and adjust the rabbit ears, will ya, while you turn the volume knob up a bit and fiddle with the vertical hold.
Motorola made all of those engine controllers through the 80s to 90s and likely beyond. Worked in the automotive group when they made them.
Nice repair! I like the blue towelie btw!
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth
Happy sunshine sparkle! Never stop being you Shango. LMAO!
He SURE comes up with some good ones! LMAO! 😂
The muffler shop set lives again:) Those “vintage” capacitors formed up nicely and are ready for sale!
I never see the best Shango quips a-comin'.
fascinating , simply fantastic for nuts like myself . thanks for posting , and keep it up .
Cool little set
Another great video
i have a 2001 toyota sienna , and the ecu/integrated relay system had a bunch of capacitors that leaked , caused the door locks not to engage fully , mechanic would not repair or replace the units , a few caps for a few cents and my car works again ;) only downside i hat to take half of my lower dash apart to be able to reach it but it was worth it ;)
Someone watched the video all the way to the end!
2001 is certainly in the 'capacitor plague' era 😉
I had the same problem with my 93 Fiat Tempra, 2 bad capacitors on the central locking module
I am very impressed. Great job! Maybe all it needs now is some deep cleaning.
In 1952 Simpson's started a 50-50 joint venture in Canada named Simpsons-Sears Limited (later Sears Canada) with Sears, Roebuck, the American retailer. Simpsons-Sears stores remained distinct from the Simpson's stores and the parent companies' agreement included language to keep them from competing too directly with each other. -From Wikipedia.
The Simpson's department stores were later bought by The Bay. A Canadian department store still in business today although they are not doing well like most department stores today.
Bangy Bang tubes. Highest priced common type tubes anywhere on the planet. Note. Due to Russian import ban, we will be raising all tube prices by 95% to 200%. Not that we sell any Russian tubes mind you, just because we can!!! 😱
I always love the bits at the end when you heckle the bad TV. It's just a nice bonus, haha
Simpson Sears was a joint venture here in Canada between Simpsons which was a Canadian chain and of course Sears the American counterpart till I think the early 80s when Hudsons Bay company bought out Simpsons. Sears continued on here as Sears Canada till 2018 when they went tits up.
Impressive work.
Forgotten, ancient technology.
5:47 To answer your question, there are 16 full-line Sears stores left.
15 now, the one in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania just shut down in the past few days. Still 254 small format Sears Hometown stores, plus 3 Sears Home & Life, 3 Sears Appliance & Mattress, and 1 Sears Appliance, also 98 full-line Sears department stores in Mexico
That set looked pretty hopeless to me. Amazing work!
Now we know why you wear gloves when handling these sets! When you took the back cover off, I again thought "no way, that's not going to work!" Proved me wrong again! Worked way better than I could have imagined with very minimal work. If you're going to junk it, maybe it's worth saving the CRT since that seems to be a good performer.
New Shango video for a Saturday. Whoop
Love those press to reset buttons really. Press to reform capacitor
Get your QVC on Shango!
good piece of work ,, need some audio detector adjustment too , yes electrolytes capacitor gone dry after 10 years of service ,,,
Memories… My parents had that exact same set for their bedroom !!!
1:42 I believe that is the cupholder for the TV repairman.
Sice the advent of solid state, TV technology has gone down the tubes
Cleaned up, that would be an attractive set. I like the old Sears Silvertone sets, especially these funky looking portables.
I saw that crack on your first pass like the Grand Canyon. But since you kept going I assumed it must be a black jumper wire I was seeing. Fortunately solder can bridge a lot. 😁 I was grateful to see tube technology die out but now that tubes have become a hobby for me I can't find any old sets laying around to scrap anymore unless I order off of eBay.
I would recommend a pressure washer filled with kerosene or rubbing alcohol before you even bother proceeding.
My mother brought Sylvania, Silvertone B/W TV in 1962 from military PX in Hawaii was the few model that called portable model and the set came with factory moving cart with 4 wheel and 15" screen with telescopic type Antennar. The set was send to Thailand in 1962 and suffered many damage and service repair at numerous times. When we left Thailand in 1972 the set was repaired and we spend over than $35.00 for repair bill. It was not designed to operate oversea for NTSC system with 110V 50 cycles systems.
As anticipated....no let down here.
The only time I watch Tv is on a manky old set you've ressurected.
A very interesting rez thnx.
The Toyota pickups from the 80s have the ECU located in the same place. Passenger side behind the kick panel.
I would also replace the tantalum caps. They're prone to shorting out.
never seen an automotive grade tantalum cap short in an ecu yet
@@shango066 I have, and the ones I've worked on use the same manufacturer of tant caps that many of the old PCs used which I also work on, and see them shorted in the IBM-PC-XT computers as well, on the motherboards, and disk drives etc. In any case I replace them, only takes a few minutes. All of that equipment as you stated are getting to the age where even the best of the electrolytics and tants are failing. There is no such thing as an 'automotive grade' tant.
@@shango066 The conformal coating probably helps to preserve them. I think it's mostly gas (oxygene?) and moisture ingress that kills these dipped tantalum caps. Hermetically sealed metal encapsulated ones almost never fail.
@@bountyhunter4885 Not sure how long they've been making those, but the ECUs that I've done repairs on myself with failed Tantalum caps from the 80s and 90s have the conventional versions of Tantalum caps in them and fail shorted which is typical of common versions. Also the electrolytics are of no special better grade and they tend to leak on and do damage to the boards.
Perhaps the higher grade you mentioned are available in newer vehicles and were made due to the problem with the older generation ECUs.
No Sears left in Canada :/
No matter how bad they get, old tech can still be repaired 👍
from what i was able to see so far from shango, his videos are better than all aerial channels in his area put together. are there only commercials and talk shows on air?
We still have a Sears in our very small town.
I had one of those sets best black and white I ever had
You are lucky Shango to have so many "over the air statons" Here in Oslo we have only 3 for free. But these 3 has almost no commercials on them. They still send news, cartoons and films. Plus debate and so on. When the cable tv goes away in september 2023. I have to stream tv or just watch this 3 stations. It is to expensive to get more chammels over the air. It just costs to much to insert a card in the box. Nice repair Shango. 🙂
I watch for moments like this: 44:54 - Damn, Crepe-Erase, and Prevagen, and Focus Factor and Balance of Nature and...
I wish crepe erase would sponsor this channel
The technicians used to put these TV sets in a warm bathtub for an hour. Nice clean vacuum tubes. If this guy wanted to cheat, he could pull everything out, and install a flat screen.
Man, that thing just doesn't want to die!
That is one great milliamp meter you have, all the Chinese ones I've had, the first time you pin the needle the meter is finished.
yeah! shango I like
Great watch.
tube wants to be a plasma ball when it grows up
Join the Church of Electrolytic Reformation!
(I once reformed a big filter cap in a 1952 tube radio for fun... it took 2 days to reform, but it worked really well and it certainly lasted more than a week or two)
Anyone else notice the cracked board right away?
That should have all the neighbourhood pets running for cover !
How did that heap of death give a picture and sound!, crud does not make a bad set.
The ecu looked mint, nicely sealed.
You should clean it up and if it cleans up well, do a full restoration.
I'd recommend disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery instead the positive, because with the negative connected you can short the battery if you get a wrench anywhere to bare metal, but with the negative disconnected there will be voltage just across the terminals.
with chassis negative.
I love your content!
Something about the way you yell at the old tvs helps me relax.
Thank you.
