    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 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?

    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?

    • @spatsbear
      @spatsbear  11 дней назад

      @@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.
