What an awesome looking TV. That’s cool you have MeTV Toons now. Wish I had that station but there ain’t no MeTV Toons station in North Dakota. Once in a while I like to play on a RCA TV from 1987 at a friends house. Can’t believe it still works after all these years.
I like the look of that set. Never heard of that brand before. Interesting design indeed. Very nice resurrection! I enjoyed watching. You always show some cool sets from the past. Thanks for sharing! 🍻 Cheers from N.C.
Seeing Super Mario on a black and white set has awakened a nostalgia in me I had almost forgotten about; I briefly played my NES on a b/w portable TV when I first got it 30 odd years ago before "upgrading" to a colour TV (my first TV) as a child. I put "upgrade" in quotes because the TV was trash, and the b/w set probably outlived it.
Nice Spats! My oldest working (might need to dig it out and see if it still is) TV is a blue GE from 1965. Got a working 1982 laserdisc player recently for free! That TV is good for hooking up a TI994A!
That's *awesome!* I'll bet you had to take lots and lots of reference photos prior to disassembly, though! Knowing that the CRT was bright when it was in operation 15 years ago, if it were me, I'd be reluctant to use a CRT tester to reactivate it, at least until I had the set completely reassembled and running first to see if it's okay.
@@chetpomeroy1399 The Renew cycle is like a cleaning cycle, and that won’t hurt anything. But after the cleaning cycle and letting it run for a bit, nothing changed. It may be a high hour set. But the lowest restore setting is gentle and brought it back, and often times you’ll notice vastly improved sharpness in the focus (which I did). This is not the same as the red Rejuv cycle, which can be harmful and should only be used as a last ditch effort. But I’ve done this enough times with this tester that I’ll know the end results without worry.
Yes in deed. I came across many many TV sets in my time and as I recall only getting a couple of these milovac sets for repair. One repair i remember very well was the high voltage stick was open and I had to sub one from a 12 inch GE hybrid. The set worked very well and the customer was happy with the $25 repair bill. I thought i would share. Nice to see the video of this. By the way that 33GY7 looked well cooked. Are you guys still collecting vintage fans ??? Have not seen any videos.
Great restoration picture looks great on it I tried restoring tube tvs but can't sell them anymore because everyone wants flat screen so I stopped servicing them so I just do tube radios record players and electronics that I can resell easily also merry Christmas to you and Harley 🎄
Great picture for a 1972 CRT TV, demonstrating several game consoles. And is that what I see in the background, a 2003 GO VIDEO DVD/VCR combi made by LG/Goldstar?
Never heard of that brand. Pretty sweet TV, though. I played that awful ET game when new on a color TV. It was our first portable color set. Atari 2600. I wonder where it went off to. Those were the days.
Daaang! That TV does have good sound! I noticed the set still has a bit of a "wave" to it on stationary images. I've had older sets that were the same way. What causes that?
@@Trance88 Some older sets have an issue displaying progressive scan signals (like video games) because it changes the vertical sync pulses (by removing one of them so it draws both fields on top one another to give approx 240 lines and the effect of about 59.94fps instead of alternating the lines for interlace.) I wanted to try Combat on the Atari since that was from 1977 but it didn’t like that game for some reason. But normal interlaced signals it has no issues at all.
@@patcola7335 yes , I still have it. I have to replace a tub seal on it, so I haven’t been using it. I am planning on working on it over Christmas break.
I live in small town in Cincinnati area non of Cincinnati stations don't have me tv toons but cbs station in Dayton i can some has it but singal comes and goes it depends on weather conditions
@@IAmNotAFunguy I have one of those HDMI converters just left and off screen, so I could have done it. But I only have up to the GameCube in the retro media room. Later consoles are connected on a modern-ish TV (15 years old) in the living room.

I've never heard of Milovac before, either.
Me too & wonder if there is color tv version
Very impressive audio, and great picture as well! I hope you'll be able to find a color Milovac someday.
Sweet a new Video I missed so much your videos I love small tv like that

Yes, we still collect fans… it’s been a while so we are overdue for another fan video.

@CSSTPMediaUK Pay close attention to the 2004 video and you’ll see the same exact combo unit.
@@spatsbear Now it makes sense.

Never heard of that brand before, even though I prefer Britain's Amstrad as I have a China-pride Amstrad MC700 Mini Hi-Fi from 1997.

Saw a color Milovac TV once for sale in a secondhand shop for $25 back in the late 90's. Didn't buy it because it looked pretty beat up.
that Michael Jackson game is something else
Hey man do you still have the 78 Kenmore ? Just got a pristine 74 Kenmore washer last week. Take care.

Hope all goes well with it! I have a 1985 Whirlpool Supreme belt drive for sale in excellent condition and runs great. @@spatsbear

It's too bad you didn't go all the way with Nintendo systems continuing with the Wii and then using and HDMI converter for the Wii U and Switch!...

Hey, what a lovely channel about old tech I stumble, don't mind me just about click the subscribe button :3
Brightness is too high for me. Looks faded.
@@pyeltd.5457 it’s fine in person. It’s hard to record CRTs.
You lost.
My attention when you ask the other guy if he wanted to run the video or run the show
That’s a You problem, not a Me problem.
