That computer board has an extremely rare and early 1975/76 6502 processor on it. Those are worth a lot to the right collector
Adrian digital basement talk about that .... those are etremely rare for sure. I dont think they even owend MOS by this time, so they were build by somebody else ?. Ultra neat, wonderinng if this is some sort of early micro computer builds like KIM or similar but 6502 based. Definitely needs a new dady !!!!
The one with the code bug? That is really rare.
I was just gonna say that
3475! That is a very, very early 6502. (41:19 in)
Please don’t trash those rare MOS 6502’s
Vintage computer chips! Yes, send to Adrian Black. It's look like that 6530 processor chip was used in Commodore drives and pinball machines. Love the bunny.
Wasn't expecting the rabbit!
I don’t find these sorts of videos boring at all, I could watch this all day.
I think that a CT-100 is practically a prototype. I'm not surprised that the CT-100 CRT is a premium item. I've always read that a CT-100 running right has amazing color, though I've never seen one. Something about different phosphors than were used later. Probably zero cost cutting in that set. They were built to go out there and show off what color TV looks like.
Oh no! Not the Cat! I will be missing 😢. He was the soul of the place.
The CT-100 is ridiculously overbuilt, so no surprise seeing degaussing hardware in it. The set also did true YIQ color decoding and the tube used full NTSC spec phosphors. Anything that came out later was an exercise in cost cutting.
The back plane computer shown towards the end looks like a home built S100 bus machine. Looks like you got a new set of rabbit ears too.
Send the computer to Adrian’s digital basement if you don’t care for it. That MOS 6530 cpu is a beauty
Yes i was thinking the same
Being a 77 year old ham (K1ZEK) and electronic service engineer I LOVE this kind of video, even my wife of 55 years enjoyed it. FYI I did my family a favor and cleaned house,some what. HI HI .73 Leo. k
National Lumber! I just got a nostalgia hit, growing up in SoCal in the 70s/80s. I still remember the commercials and the jingle......"Get the good stuff at the right price.....National Lumber!"
Wow that slotted motherboard was part of an S100 computer system from the 70s! cool find.
What an amazing find. The RCA CT100 made me gasp. That needs to be meticulously restored, every nook and cranny and go to the American History Museum at the Smithsonian. I have no doubt they would display it. Just magnificent.
Smithsonian might hide it away like so many other things and it's never seen again.
Anyone that made it to the end is a hardcore Shango fan! I loved it, Thanks
Thanks! I would be in heaven if I got a haul of parts like that and my wife would kill me if I did. Even the drawers are cool. A man can dream. Thanks for the vicarious thrill Shango! PS I built a wameco S100 computer just like that back in the day. I think I’ll dig it up and fire it up! My favorite card was “the heater”. Basically a termination board for the passive back plane (pane?) to prevent ringing made from scores of resistors.
@17:40 Holy crap! Your own rotary-tweebulator! After all these long years finally you have your own, and it even still works!!! So much envy!
Not at all boring, there's nothing I like better than buying a job lot of electronic parts and going through them. Watching someone else do so is not quite as enjoyable, but still enjoyable.
As others have stated, that is a homebrew computer, and it is indeed historic and rare; because of how early it is. There are quite a few RUclips channels and collectors who would want that.
Boring? Never! Thanks for posting anew, I feel complete again. And you got your own bunny to cuddle with. 😁
Give us an update on the bunny in a few months. Cool seeing all the stuff in draws.
Hasenpfeffer
I got fooled!!. When I first saw the bunny, it looked like it was eating a bunch of loose capacitors and resistors.
At 043:32, the boards in that box are very likely engine speed cards for Pratt and Whitney JT3D Series (Turbofan) Jet Engines. They were used on 707's and some DC-8 variants, if memory serves.
I worked as an avionics systems engineer for 18 years, whenever we shipped "high dollar prototype certification-calibrated/certificated test equipment", if we didn't hand carry it, Allied Mover's Electronic Systems was our chosen method of shipment. British Airways Bonded Courier Services, through Smiths Aerospace, took fragile items to most of Western Europe, while LOT Polish Airways serviced Eastern Europe. Cathay Pacific, QANTAS, and JAL Courier Services delivered/retrieved items destined for the Pacific and Indian Ocean Areas.
That ceramic MOS 6530 chip at 42:05 could be valuable, up to $500 on ebay maybe could cover cost of everything you bought.
Looks like one sold in oct for $300 plus shipping.
I thought that looked like a MOS symbol, looks like what you would see in the Commodore 64, well the symbol on the chip that is not the 6530 hehe.
early 70's 6502 and 03, worth a lot and very rare
Those boards wrapped in foil seem to be for an Altair 8800 computer expansion. That's some special stuff there.
I think beryllium oxide ceramics are pink, purple and blue. White ones -should- might be ordinary aluminium oxide, not hazardous. The one that said beryllium oxide on the case, might be not the original case for those white insulators.
34:45 high precision high voltage trimmer capacitors, super hard to get nowadays, and *very* expensive. If you unscrew the cap, there's the adjustment underneath
36:39 probably microwave nuvistor tubes in their sockets PLEASE don't trash it!
39:26 There's a 7586 Nuvistor new in box, don't miss that!
42:38 You should send this stuff for Adrian Black or CuriousMarc
Please don't toss out or recycle anything from this batch, 99% of these is very valuable to the right person. Ask Marc Verdiell (Curious Marc) and/or Fran Blanche about the industrial stuff, Adrian Black about the computer stuff. You can find home for anything that you don't need amongst RUclips creators -any- and hobbyists.
( *EDIT* : "and" typo, and correction on beryllium oxide ceramics based on Bob Kirkham's reply)
The beryllium oxide insulator in my Heathkit SB-230 is white.
Yes, they ARE white. I've used them in avionics.
@@bobkirkham5155 Well, I guess then, I was wrong, and they CAN BE white, because I've seen the beryllium oxide warning on purple and pink ceramic insulators before, and on RF power transistors in (colored) ceramic packages. Maybe it was a later regulation to put dye in beryllium-oxide ones to warn the service personnel. And that makes sense because if they can make beryllium oxide white, no one can identify them during an equipment repair, out of the original packaging, but if they are colored, the technician will be aware of the danger.
I've scanned various manufacturers and all list white as the color. Perhaps an individual company colored them for their own purpose(s)? I doubt very much they would be color-doped as their composition is very precise
Holy Crap indeed! That CRT is a real Methuselah!
Lots of ham radio shit in that estate haul. Those ceramic tube plate caps were in 811A and 6146 sized. The smaller ones will fit most Octal based sweep, HV rectifier and HV regulator tubes, but not the Novar and Compactron based types. Those ceramic wafer switch sections would be just the thing for a home brew linear amp.
The bunny is probably a reincarnation of the cat
hi shango, at 41.09 it should be an s-100 home made computer, like an altair 8800 or something. It's valuable and historic, if you don't use it consider the idea of giving it to a retrocomputer channel like adrian digital basement for instance, he's pretty good at restoring those kinda things
That CT-100 RCA color tv, an engineer friend of mine told me, that model had the best color demodulation circuit that had better color detail resolution than later TV sets after it. That guy had a lot of neat electronic parts/things, some of which I would not mind having.
These drawers with doornob caps are a ham radio linear amplifier builders dream.
Wow, the 10 turn pot with the clock like display was on the the HP atomic clock "C-Field" adjustment featured on one of CuriousMarc's videos recently. I've never seen one before and have now seen two in as many days. Great stuff, Cheers.
Bourns Knobpot, probably model 3600 or 3640. I think they're discontinued, but you can still find them around. We used them at work in the 1990s and 2000s for prototype projects. They were expensive though - $100-150 each. The used ones I see now are down to more reasonable prices. It's just the gimmick of having a dial mechanism built into the face of a normal ten-turn precision potentiometer. There are PCB-mount ten-turn trimmer pots (adjusted with a small screwdriver) available fairly inexpensively from Digi-Key and Mouser.
@@auchterawer1150 Hi and thanks for the info. It maybe a gimmick but i think it looks cool. I've been working with electronics all my life but in Australia there was very little of that old stuff around.
Love the "look at crap" videos as see a lot of stuff that's mostly gone, oh and the hand wire woubd S100 bus comp board with 6530 worth a good few hundred bucks for chip alone ... the foil wrapped boards does look like 8800 or other altair (or its clones) expansions as mentioned by a few others , all worth coin to the right joe
That RCA color CT100 TV is, or will soon be, a *priceless* early post-World War II relic -- particularly considering the excellent condition of the CRT. There aren't many people alive today old enough to firsthandedly remember when these sets first graced the household electronics showrooms of the mid-1950's. I'm sure the current owner will provide an *excellent* home for it.
No wonder those manuals were so good, they practically had to teach technicians how to repair color televisions. The first sets were apparently some real quality.
hi shango , that microprocessor at 42:08, is an MCS 6530 from 1976. Not that common nowadays, and could be quite valuable. See also Adrians Basement re MCS 6502. posted 4 weeks ago.
Sorry man, your stuff just isn't boring .appreciate your knowledge and skills. Thank you..dig the comments made yourself. Four twenty ✨️
All kinds of neat old stuff. Awesome score!
My favorite ASMR is rummaging. This is so good
I had those books many years ago. I got them in a dumpster dive in front of a very old TV/Radio repairman's estate. They were in a huge binder along with several hundred other schematics. I put them all up on eBay. Great TV video!
The tape, I noticed had CLOAD on it. That is a command for loading basic programs into a computer. We owned a TRS-80 model III and it used that same command. Don't know what other computers would have used CLOAD but it's definitely some computer program or data stored on the cassette.
Most (if not all) 8-bit computers of that era had that CLOAD (cassette load) command in their BASIC interpreter.
A quick search on ebay for the MCS 6530 chip shows a few listed at around $500, quite a few followers on those listings. Seems to be a desirable vintage chip? Not sure how much they are actually selling for, but odds are it is somewhere in that ballpark.
At the beginning of the video, I have that Television Service Clinic book in PDF form already; I can send a copy if you'd like.
6:33 is the Field Neutralization Coil. It works the opposite of a degaussing coil by applying a constant DC voltage to it to correct color impurity. It evenly magnetizes the shadow mask instead. There is an adjustment on the back of the set for it opposite the selenium rectifiers.
They sure did improve the circuits by early 1960s. Look at all the tubes they used in the first commercial model.
Is it an AC signal? According to physics, a DC current would not degauss (no field motion) and potentially worse (attractive electromagnetic force).
@@directcurrent5751 It is DC. It actually magnetizes it instead. Mine had an open coil, and had to wind a new one with magnet wire. I think it was about 47ohms total (1150 feet). Lots of turns.
@@spatsbear I surmise experience lead to the degauss approach.
@@directcurrent5751 Correct.
I found all of that interesting. I have never seen so many aerospace spec components.
Your new companion reminds me of an early BBC TV test pattern. 🙂
Not boring at all. Very nostalgic and reminds me of my days @ Allied-Signal Aerospace in the 70's - 90's. Thanks Shang, now back to grinding my beryllium oxide ceramic heatsinks.....
I find your "look at my crap" videos to be quite fascinating.
That white ceramic 6502 is worth a few sheckles. I'd hang on to that homemade computer or try to resell it. Don't throw it away.
Definitely keep it, sell it or give it to a retro computer themed YT channel (like Adrian's Digital Basement).
@mrnmrn1 yeah I was just thinking about that video he did on the early 6502s lol.
Those capacitors are really popular with guitar guys. I don't personally like putting them in amps but putting them in low voltage situations they're fine
Man, you could sell that early 70's computer stuff for a lot of money!
Adrians Digital Basement (RUclips) would take those MOS 65XX Processors of of you in a heartbeat.
I like looking at all the old stuff keep em coming 👍
42:38 That's an S100 board back-plane and the boards are the various components of a s100 based computer. Definitely collectable, especially with hand wire wrapped boards.
I thought it asa S100 too, possibly somethign out of a magazine with every month being the info for one additional part of the whole... Either way some of this haul needs to be taken to a vintage computer swap and, well, appraised first, there's a few winnders in there, and the rest should more than pay the fuel and burger bills for the trip...
It looks like there's a lot of early computer stuff/glass teletype stuff and parts in here. That is definitely worth something to the right person, particularly the vintage parts for folks that are doing rebuilds. This guy probably build the computer out of plans from a 1970s electronics magazine, from the looks of it. Definitely worth keeping and the right person could probably get it going again.
You packed the CRD well for how it's beeing transported. I personally have built crates to ship rare CRTs. That tube is rare, Ming Dynasty rare. I sure hope it makes it.
As for the chassis, magnetic and electrodynamic convergence. Focus and convergence electrodes in the tube. The convergence controls were on the front panel. The degaussing circuit it is a "field neutralizing coil" that is on all the time. You adjust it during setup to neutralize stray magnetic fields that could impact purity. The setup on these sets seemed like a day long affair. After moving one, even a perfectly restored one, they require check and readjustment. When working right they produce a very nice, Technicolor style picture.
I'm glad you helped save it - Thank you!
Adrian's digital basement. would be a good place for those computer boards.
as a dumpster diver I find the junk drawer part really interesting
Fantastic! It's great to see that the TV was properly shipped to it new owner. Hopefully we can see it in a future video. And what a great haul from the estate! Many very interesting items. I could watch that stuff all day. I would have gotten the Heathkit automotive analyzer as I drive old cars and have a use for one. Thanks for a great video! Ted
When I was younger, I used to deliver computer equipment, and sometimes if I had a lone monitor in the back of the truck I would take turns really fast so I could hear it tumble around back there! Never necked one though... but there were usually a few extra pieces of plastic knocking around in the case after I was done with it.
Remember finding a Sam's photo fact for one of these in an electronics- junk store back in the 1980s.
That old computer is nice! Looks maybe S100 bus, so 75/76? Some good money there to the right person!
Well I kept watching, love going through old crap like that.. Oh yeah,, maybe 50s microwave diode..
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Not sure why but one of your better shows. I guess I like old things it reminds me of a time when those components were considered valuable and still are to the right person.
Your bunny rabbit is so cute.
You were lucky to have coloured television back in 1954,In Australia, we did not get television until 1956 and it was black and white and it was black and white right up to 1974 and the following year of 1975 that's when coloured television came to Australia.
18:11 it's the number one reason I watch. very jealous of the things you get access to.
I love all your videos every single one is amazing thank you for taking the time to document even the finds !
Love looking at all that great estate items, lots of handy and interesting tech stuff!
@5:47 literally you're in the proverbial "Cool Dry Place." that everything is supposed to be stored in... And we hate the luck that brings so hard from our rusty, baked accelerated weathering chambers that we live in...
So happy that 15GP22 tested as well as it did. I remember reading somewhere that those were all done as a single run prior to the sets being released. I'm wondering if that truly was a high hour set if the CRT was replaced at some point which would account for the really high emissions. Allied radio had 15GP22 CRT's in their catalog as late as 1964 or 65.
That cassette has a program on it for a TRS80 computer. Cload was the command to load a program from cassette tape. I used to use them a lot in High School in the very early 80s. I still have a couple games saved on cassette from back then but no computer to load them onto.
I'm guessing a TRS-80 pocket computer because most (maybe all) TRS-80s had floppy drives built in? I used to have a couple of those pocket computers but sold them a few years back. A relative of mine might have a 3rd one of mine in their attic.
@@kenrichmond3946 We had TRS-80 model 1 computers. They only had 8K of ram and used cassette drives for storage.
@@tallboyyyy Ahh I'm not sure I've seen one IRL. All the TRS-80s I saw back in the day had floppies.
@@kenrichmond3946 This commercial shows the exact version I used. ruclips.net/video/5QFV7eovE7w/видео.html
Wow! I love junk/stuff like that. I enjoyed the go over
i love it when i hear your voice i can finanlly sleep
Hey Shango! Now you have a set of REAL fully FUNCTIONAL Rabbit Ears! :) 73
Man...what a great video. Hope that CRT makes it to the destination in good condition. I am like a kid in a candy store (or on the snap on truck, lol), when i come across finds like those parts that were destined for destruction.
Bunny found a good home!
I have one of those exact analog multimeters I saw on your table. Great meter
Someone like Adrian's digital basement or usagi electic would be interested in those old computer parts!
Cute Dutch bunny. Had one many years ago. This had to be someone’s pet
I would be scared to death disassembling that one. Sure is a nice piece of history. Thank you for posting.
Amazing video Shango
Ha ha I'm watching this Sunday morning nice and easy
Hope the owner takes real care of it!
I wish I lived by you ,omg we dont have anywhere except ebay to buy cheap electronics. I would keep everything in the boxes in the UK nothing electronics is cheap a basic oscilloscope is 100-200 GBP. The stuff you have there would sell from 10-30 GBP a box easy .I never get anything cheap or free, when it comes to stuff I like my luck is always out.well done am happy for you what cool treasure boxes.
Christmas come early love these kind of videos
@37:08 - Sharp 😊 - Really enjoyed this video and nice way to start the weekend. Thanks Shango066, have a good Thanksgiving.
That bunny has to have been a pet.
That cabinet and its drawers is a keeper. Nice wood work and I feel sure that your laboratory can use the organization.
Those 1960s-vintage Philbrick Researches (George A. Philbrick) op amp modules would probably be worth a bit of money to people restoring 1960s military electronics or lab equipment.
HI SHANGO. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
You're very lucky. Wish I had 1/100 of that treasures. I see a lot of really useful items.
Shango those primitve automotive fuses were stock on Mercedes from the early 80s and older they used to be kind of expensive.
I've seen them on Audi and Opel models also...
The straws were for snorting beryllium oxide dust. Great Buz!
You could try packing the tube in a box, buy two seats on a flight one for you the other for the CRT, drop it off at the person who bought it, then fly back to Torrance.
The portion of the video where you went through those drawers was interesting especially when you found those 20,000 volt diodes and all that high quality, precision, military grade components used in the AGM-65 Maverick or whatever the old guy worked on.
As you probably know, beryllium oxide has a very high thermal conductivity according to Wikipedia:
"This colourless solid is a notable electrical insulator with a higher thermal conductivity than any other non-metal except diamond, and exceeds that of most metals"
Good stuff! Whoever ends up going thru my junkbox (eventually) won't have quite so much luck! He was probably a ham, given all the octal sockets, bath tub capacitors, and HV stuff for his personal projects.
That CRT is worth its weight in gold.
Maybe worth more.
I like the rabbit!
I enjoyed the whole video, interesting stuff here.
Those dial pots are sweet, cool for guitar or pedal depending on type and range.
Wameco QMB-12 The Quiet Mother
Probably not useful for volume controls because most ten turn pots are linear taper, not audio taper. On the other hand, if you wanted to make a little audio RC oscillator, they'd make a good frequency control because of their fine-tuning ability. Those Bourns Knobpots were very expensive though, $100-150 new, years ago.
8 track Tape heads are Master tape/Apex/Ampex tape deck heads. if the have 4 lines that is a 4 track(Quadraphonic) Head, 3 lines Matrix, 2 lines Stereo and 1 line Mono...
I see 3 Lines 2 35:36, so that would mean it is a matrix Head. but the sut could be covering up a f 4th lines! some of these heads can be worth a few Thousand Dollars! I have been trying to find a 8 track Head for my 8 track... mine would cost around $10k/USD . so, I might have to wait for when I have that kind of cash laying around! the cost comes from the master tape quality!
I remember watching a demo set in K-Mart called the XL-100 RCA color tv and little did I know that the godawful color was not the fault of the tv, but rather the transmitter, because every television could not get true to life color until the '70's when we got our Zenith
fab! I watched all of it
boredom is not the emotion I associate with watching you and other youtubers get ahold of stashes like this.
Jealousy yes. boredom no.
