Seeing sets like this always marvels me why anyone would ever consider taking up smoking. I started tinkering on old tv's when I was about 10 years old back in the 60's. Even then it discussed me seeing the sticky goo in sets.
Have you ever been around someone who was trying to quit. My father and several coworkers quit whilei knew them, and every one was agony. I can't imagine if it's meth or oxy....
I've just started working on a Roberts Radio RMB from the early 50's and I've also found silicon diodes soldered directly across the selenium rectifier. It's a high-end radio which cost £26 in 1951 - £675 in today's money.
RUclips must really be angry at you. 8 commercials breaks plus one at the beginning in a 37 minute video. I guess they think since so many people (like me) are watching so much they can subject us to unlimited commercials. Great work. I just hope folks don't lose patience.
I remember we had a B&W Zenith console from around 1964, dad and mom were smokers, years later dad removed all the tubes and went in there with a vacuum and sucked out all the dust and whatever and the TV actually worked a little better. In 1975 we got our first color TV, an RCA XL100 25" console. The RCA lasted until around 1993 and as I recall, one time I went to visit him I remember the RCA being weak and having a soft picture.
If I remember correctly, the rooms at the beloved Colonial Inn Motel (Sunny Isles) North Miami Beach had these Admirals. May have been a '57. The Colonial Inn opened in 1957. It like the other claasic motels met its death in the early 2000s. My cousins stayed there in 1962 and 1964. By the time my family stayed there, the TVs were replaced in 1965 with square tube Admiral BW TVs.
32:00 Unintentionally funny to see a vintage TV protrayed in an ad shown on a vintage TV. It kind of short-circuits the advertiser's intention of showing a glaring contrast between old and new sets.
A fine example of the kind of TV's my grandfather tried working on. Unfortunately the picture tube was no good so it sat in the house for many years.The raised Admiral letters were painted gold. All those vents around the TV is to let the "magic smoke " out!!! After his passing my mom sold it at a garage sale with lots of other electronics goodie her dad had around 1990 for unknown price. But it was from a non smoking home!
I heard a mild buzzing/motorboating sound of my crt even audio was turned off, what do you think is a problem. Also a little flashes of whites on the side and corner of the screen during turn on. White colors are little bit jumpy when screen brightness is increased. TV model: SONY KV-14BMR1.
Wow that's really weird. What are the chances. Thought it was my old ass Roku at first.. Never had a problem with any of your other videos. Maybe a portion of the original was hosted on a server farm than went down.
I have one of those star shower things in the bedroom. it's pretty awesome in there when you shine it on the ceiling. of course it was like $10 on sale after xmas when I got it, lol. didn't know it was sold on an infomercial. if you use it inside it should not be aimed so someone can look into the laser like they showed.
My family had a tv just like that. It was left behind by a prior tenant. Late 60s/early 70s. As I recall it had a cap across the power line that had blown up.
My childhood. Sets like this were banished to the back of the house for the kids. Fun messing with the vertical hood after changing the channel with a clunk.
Shango I have a question to ask. I just got a admiral set exactly like this and is my first vintage tv! I was wondering if I can power it up to an outlet for a bit to see if it works? By the way, love your videos man!
@shango066 Are you on the antique radio forum under the name "fifties" ? I noticed he's in so cal as well! Thanks again for the informative video! I have a Philco 50t1403 set in about to crack open soon!
You know you've watched a shango066 video before when you inadvertedly finish his his sentences. Like when he says @17:46 "check this tuner out" and i immediately say "what a trip".
How dangerous are the X-Rays from these HV Rectifier tubes? At the dentist when they give me an X-Ray it says like "10 pulses" and the x-ray tubes are usually 5Kv. So if we have 15kV and 15.1 kHz (Horiz freq), that would be half wave (7500 pulses/sec), is it actually 22,500 more x-rays every second or am I just tripping?
Hello, Shango. I know the video might not be a priority, but I was wondering what happened to the video where you assessed an RCA B&W console tv and fixed a junky 90s Emerson TV. Thank you for reading!
An encore presentation of a Shango classic from 5 years ago beats the non-stop parroting of inane propaganda we are bombarded with elsewhere. May as well enjoy something worth watching while I can still afford to pay the ISP bill - which if this lockdown BS persists, won't be for much longer.
@@MokkaMatti I'm totally with you!!! I was poking a little fun, but with tons of respect!!! 😉❤️ I flat love this channel. The technical expertise, the challenging projects he takes on, and the terrific humor!
He used a converter box with a RF output. There's only one, low power analog station in LA now, and the image on screen is a static placeholder for a radio station. (Still more than we have in the UK, where all analog transmissions were shut down in 2011).
..., I paid a whopping 10 dollars for one of those in 1978,..we got to watch Saturday night Live uninterrupted for a change,...they were good to sets,...
Someone once told me that the old TV tuners had "18k gold" contacts in them. I said that they where probably brass. He still swears that they are gold..
If the smoker's TV is this dirty, I shudder to think how much more crud there was in that person's lungs. It's too bad that Windex can't clean smoked-up lungs in the way that it can clean a filthy CRT.
@shango066 Hey i really like your Videos about repairing old CRT Sets. I started working on Sony Trinitron CRTs again for me and my friends because we love the Picture Quality of CRTs. I have that issue that all of my CRT TVs and CRT Monitors have Blooming and bad Conversion and i'm guessing that it has to do with the Electrolytic Capacitors on B+ but i'm not 100% sure that's why i like to ask you what the most common reasons are for Blooming. The Entire Image shrinks a little Bit when the Picture is getting Bright and Expends if it's getting Dark. I'm very Happy if you could help me out to keep my CRTs Alive. Thanks :)
Video unavailable? No wait, that's not true. Recapping is good preventive maintenance, not a repair technique. Do it if you want to preserve and keep the set (shoot first and ask questions later?) Do you have a cold (or a new microphone)? Your voice sounds a bit different today.
I was hoping to see that guy Shango likes so much and makes fun of (the power smokeless grill dude who can't talk properly) but I forgot the original date of the video was 2015.
cabin fever is setting in...I'm overjoyed to see a new vid from shangoo even if I've seen it before....thanks

@@waltschannel7465 Yes I have, and it's so cruel what they have to go through.
Watched it before but its nice so many years later to see it again while having lunch.
Stay safe have fun and keep on "playing" with the old toys :)
You can tell this is an older video. Shango's classic green jacket looks even greener and newer!
When I was a kid, I had a TV that did the dot thing when powering off for YEARS. And it was long. Like 15 or 30 seconds long.
My East-German TV didn't do that at all. Maybe it's because it's from the 1970s and not the 50s.
I'm 36 and I remember that!!
thanks for the re-upload - I discovered you maybe a year ago and I never got to see this I don't think. And I love TV videos.
Thanks for reposting this shango. This video taught me the proper way to solder.
That’s amazing how much cleaner that screen looks. I wonder if it was a bar room tv, or at a pool hall/bowling alley.
That old times of parents smoking with kids in the room... Or offices plenty of smokers letting that crazy paste get into expensive IBM computers.
Marty McFly: I've seen this one. This is a classic!!!! (it's a re-run) lol , still awesome to see again!!! loved it!!!

"Secondary infant mortality". Love it, describes the old sets I've got laying around here.
Thanks for the inspiration to get into the guts!
When I was a kid, I used to watch Lawrence welk when my grandfather on a1954 philco. He died the same week that the TV stopped working.
Wow you sound almost 5 years younger
Go figure!
@@UHF43who's a clever sod then
he sounds the same on his latest video from his oldest video from 2010. just better microphone

Whoa! Corrupted files on RUclips? That’s news!
delightful 40 minutes. thank you sincerely
Wow! Vintage 2015 shango066.
28:13 _"didn't know so much of your life depended on the lights and you getting up on a ladder you loser"_
Can't believe you had the original video file still.
Fun video Shango! It looks like a mid ‘50s set to me.
I’ll bet you have a neat personal collection. I’d love to see it!

This is exactly why you always need a backup copy of all your files. Do not trust the cloud.
Great repair. Nice B&W TV set.

Yea the old version from 2015 works here watched it 2 days ago, it seems to be a video codec issue your end
Nice
Can't wait get few sets for the lab
Thank you for reposting!
Just a question, years ago I had a crt tv. Now if a bright image came on the screen it would switch off. Why was this?
+david wallace - Sounds like excessive beam current (in the CRT) which triggered the shutdown circuit.
I watched the original video 12 hours ago!

I "lol'ed" at the using it inside part lol ,
They are no substitute whatsoever for real holiday lights.
holy cow. it's kevtris. haven't seen your name in a minute. any new retro gaming projects?
@@briangoldberg4439 yep been doing tons of them. just look for analogue fpga on google or so.
I liked it the first time around, and it's still good as a "leftover".
Greetings from Buffalo Mr. Shangoo 66.
My family had a tv just like that. It was left behind by a prior tenant. Late 60s/early 70s. As I recall it had a cap across the power line that had blown up.
Wish you had done the dual diode thingy replacement. Would have liked to have seen that.
Nice looking set. Unfortunately digital signals ended portability of these TV’s
My childhood. Sets like this were banished to the back of the house for the kids. Fun messing with the vertical hood after changing the channel with a clunk.
That's just weird. They must've had some data corruption happening over there
Shango I have a question to ask. I just got a admiral set exactly like this and is my first vintage tv! I was wondering if I can power it up to an outlet for a bit to see if it works?
By the way, love your videos man!
i'd recommend testing outdoors, if it smokes or catches fire you dont wont to be in a closed space with it
Gotta get one of those Star Shower things, cool. amazon sells all kinds of variations, must have been popular.
Your electronic repair video is excellent.
Where can I see the service manual for these products?
i have seen this yesterday without an issue ? or maybe 2 days ... :) dude,, i need more videos! It's actually my bedtime channel each evening :D
I recognized this set immediately as we had one when I were a yoot.
Can you tell me what I need to get a 1950’s tv working reception please
This is a pretty nice looking set, compared to what you usually feature on here.
@shango066 Are you on the antique radio forum under the name "fifties" ? I noticed he's in so cal as well! Thanks again for the informative video! I have a Philco 50t1403 set in about to crack open soon!
Like your videos a lot and they have very good clarity. Would appreciate it if you would tell me what Sony camera you use. Thank You !

The crt face plate on that set appears to be clear glass? I like that better, mine has a smoked plastic face plate, well scratch modified.
I may have missed this but how do you get a signal on this television if everything is broadcast digitally now?
I would say he feeds a composite signal from a converter box through a modulator directly into the IF input in the set - bypassing the tuner.
More dust and sarcasm.. gotta love it.
You are the man!
I remember this one, and I love that 50's period look
Neat, a repost
Some days ago I seen this and had no problem until now
He's trying to sneak a fast one on us
Very nice. Good save.

Well I guess its good that you don't fear electricity cause old tvs has a pretty high amount of voltage going through some parts

Coolio 👍👍
31:27 men I love that sound
Wow.you really have a feel for electronics 13:52 cool
Why dont you rejuve the weak Picture tubes I do thay look like new for a long time?
Rejuvenation sometimes turns into filament separation in the blink of an eye.
Oh, so that's why I couldn't find it last time I searched

Damn now i want star shower....
Lol super fantastic 🙂

Wish Modern stuff came with schematic...lol
it does, you just follow the line to the trash can so you can toss it in

And just think of the same thing on a person's innards! Nah, smoking's not harmful at all!
