Love your cord flexing and sparkling aftermath. Great video and interesting old sets. An enjoyment to watch and excellent commentary. Thanks for the upload.
I used to fix those all the time, and raised my family in the repair business. I ought to get and restore a couple myself, just for old time's sake. Maybe one from each decade.. 50's, 60's 70's, 80's. I loved Zeniths above all others! Hand-wire me, baby.
Man oh man. You must have a high tolerance for just "fuck it, try it" with these things. SO many of those things, I wouldn't even consider plugging in until I've cleared out the dust and crud from the boards. Really surprising to see that Toshiba at the end. LOVE these videos!
I had a procession of colour TV's in The UK: They all had tired CRT's. The red parts of the pictures all exhibited flare at the edges. All were 90 degree delta-gun CRT type. A re-gun in any case was more than the sets were worth. I was offered a 405 line NTSC colour TV. It was a prototype from when they were considering which colour system to adopt in the UK. I didn't realise what the hell it was at the time (1985) and I turned it down.
"There is not one flaw in the convergence on this set. It is absolutely perfect!" The color killer works well, too, when the signal gets weak. That is a good set.
Awesome bro I like everything you stand for that video of the barbecue and & tv that was great📺📻📺🎞📼📸 I like the vintage tv & repairs and a little impatient I'm sorry I enjoy all your videos I just had surgery recovering at home
Fantastic, I watch every one of these TV videos, its the exact opposite of how I work on tube electronics and yet if find it quite intriguing. Like Mozart vs. Death Metal. I use a Scalpel you use a Chainsaw. My favorite are the Push and pray moment when you turn the power on. Id be on the isolation transformer, Every electrolytic checked, Variac, 100 watt bulb in between, B+ on the volteter etc etc. Plug it in and duck works too. Them flyback transformers though, they can be scary stuff.
A treat to come home trashed after a long day and find a long Shango video. I don't collect TVs but today I got an old computer monitor for free. It reads *_Radio Shack TRS-80 Video Display_* manufactured December 1977. Looks like it's a modified TV, the case has holes to accomodate a telescopic antenna. It turns on, shows a white screen, bright tube. No idea what could do with it.
I just read the labels more carefully, it actually says _RCA Model no. KTR 122S_ in the back. Would like to figure out what kind of interface it uses, so maybe I could display something on it with a microcontroller or something. If else, guess I could feed a composite signal into it.
I've got a BK Precision CRT tester I bought new back when having one was the thing. It's the model 490. They really come in handy to verify the CRT condition. If folks only knew the kinda money a tech has in all their test jigs they'd understand why we had to charge so much cause that's how we paid for it. Great videos Sir.
Those RCAs were in every motel room when I was a little kid. Also, those GE Compactron tubes really came to life at 19:45 when you could clearly hear Kellyanne Conway start one of her sewage-filled spewages...
I bet the only things worth while are the working tubes if any . well you did get one working set out of the deal. well well now we know what fun things you are thinking of . good idea I love the vintage designs of the sets and they really have changed a great deal. thank you for sharing this all the best always
The sad part is I had that and the older one with the double series string had the 29kq6 horizontal and 30ae3 both in separate Strings that set was newer with the 40kg6
Shango066 that comment at the end about the porno made my day Lol also I just got done restoring a Emerson with the identical chassis as the one in your video (I have a video on my channel of mine) the plastic parts are super brittle including the plastic that holds the Slugs in the coils. even though it is High hour it still makes a okay picture I completely restored it. if you decide to try and get yours working let me know and I can send you the Sams in a PDF file for it, it's super hard to find being it's not a common chassis.
Cool, whats the sams number? I have most of the set in filing cabinets. I thought I fired that one up and it kinda worked, maybe it had bad caps or im sure it does
+shango066 it's sams 702-1 your's is just the tabletop version of my console model, I believe it's the same sams it covers several different models and looks to be the same chassis :) I remember in your video it already had a new horizontal phase detector which is a plus, if you do make a video on that set it could definitely be interesting! I found out mine from the factory came with a cap that did not match the schematic in the I.F/AGC section it was supposed to be a .01 but instead was a .47 and you could tell it was original so I don't know how it even worked when the set was new, when I got it restored it was throwing off the horizontal sync till I changed it to the .01 the schematic listed, I also talked to other TV collectors and I guess it's not uncommon for Emerson to put wrong caps or underrated values in their sets,would definitely be a good set for a resurrection video!. if you find out you don't have the Sam's let me know and I'll email it to you, I had to pay $22 for a "digital copy" of the sam's from there website which was a rip-off really for just a schematic and is probably worth more than the entire set, so if you find out you need it I'll just send a copy of the pdf file so you don't have to pay there ridiculous prices as well! by the way your videos are great! being completely honest it's more entertaining than cable/pay TV I probably watched close to all of your videos.
Cool, ill put it on the short list. I did kinda work I remember that. The last few tv videos have been a real pain with copyright issues. I will try and check out the video you made on it later today
how bout a desert EOL party,,lawn chairs,turkey crts,your fav hated pop music vids,commercials,a crate of quarter sticks, brewskies,snacks, slo mo go pro video of the boom booms
Would there be a place that sells CRT / Tube testers anywhere anymore? If I have to go to eBay that's fine as well, but even though I've only got some 8 tubes I got out of a Zenith radio (a double diode, two pentodes, a triode, an unknown small tube missing some pins, and one with a plate cap?) that I don't know if they're in functional order. I don't really want to do this for a job per se, rather as a hobby because I always thought tubes were cool, and when I finally got into electronics, tubes were all but gone (ca. 1980).
Reminds me of when I was in electronics trade school $@#& years ago & working on some of those old sets. A classmate accidentally touched a live flyback transformer. He found out why we called it a flyback!
Wow, a "dirty dozen" (or nearly so). You have enough of those RCA's to make a few of them work, with one for parts. How do you still have some analog TV stations on the air in LA? Mexico?
Even better, it is perfectly possible to replace the gun with a brand new one. I don't think there is still a factory in the world where they do it, but I know for sure it has been done in eastern Europe up to a couple of years ago.
Too bad that Bradford wasn't from the 60's. It would be made by Westinghouse and their color sets are a rare find. Bradford was W.T. Grant's private label brand.
you know american televisions were built with great quality .much better than gold star (aka) lg ,and sony .zenith. blew sony away in picture quality and sound .Zenith was made in chicago of austin ave. on the north side of the city . i use to live in chicago when zenith. was still in business back in the 1980's .i remember. you couldn't. bring a camera. in the plant .i remember. the tube division off north ave in melrose park close to the main plant in chicago .zenith was spread out on the north side of the city . i wish the government. bailed them out like gm .didnt they know zenith was america last television. manufacturer in america .
It applies a bit more voltage than normal to the heater & then when you press the button it dumps a charged capacitor across the grid-cathode connection, this burns off some of the emissive material off the cathode to expose a fresh layer.
That TV is 40+ years old and the power button is messed up. My tv is from 2012 and the power button is messed up. They don't make TVs like they used to.
merchafluerchafletrr?? barchafleurrmafleurrmaaglarre?? ..gee, that didn't take very long: "bleep, click." . excellent. it's amazing how that INSTANTANEOUSLY, they realize that they're not dealing with the realitive chaff of the aremikan puBliK. ..knowmmsaYYinn??

1st telly works but not very well so ? 2nd telly DEAD JIM dead, crt thingy on the rear broken/opened so that's dead but neat to see a telly i've not heard of, a bradford color be able to get some parts from it the tubes and the buttons n knobs as there useful for other telly's, 3rd telly unknown name but is looking ok kinda dead but not so another ? 4th telly oh classy an emerson very posh its kinda working but not 100% plus no idea the blasted thing turns on! 5th telly rather sweet lil telly very 70's with the black n yellow looks okay but eh neat old mini telly but mostly could be a vid on it own, 6th telly hmm even more intrestering oh dear smashed up on the holes and looking bad side ways but it bloody well works oh great it tunded into hell why do telly's do that? bargh! and it burnt though its own cable lovely! dam like a fry up in the morning this telly came to quickly! so worked ish 7th telly old panasonic no knobs looks to want to work another vid, 8 9 and 10th tellys are al the same kind 1st telly of the set works kinds, 2nd one of the set works? 3rd of the set works? 11th telly cute lil thing tosh telly works and wow a bloody good image! hay only 11 tellys you said 12 boo!
What a pile of crap ! Bradford sold by W.T. Grants. Most GE, Panny. Consoles often Wells Gardener. Admiral brings up bad memories. Copy of 18" GE C1 chassis & every bit a POS. I loose sleep nights remembering I sold them. A great Admiral was the solid state consoles. They finally made a great set then went away. Good luck finding one. Enuf fer now Tom A.K.A.

That little Toshiba at the end is super adorable. I really wanna find one of those now.
Love your cord flexing and sparkling aftermath. Great video and interesting old sets. An enjoyment to watch and excellent commentary. Thanks for the upload.
Imagine bandersentv cleaning and restoring one of those....that would be a 300 part series
I used to fix those all the time, and raised my family in the repair business. I ought to get and restore a couple myself, just for old time's sake. Maybe one from each decade.. 50's, 60's 70's, 80's. I loved Zeniths above all others! Hand-wire me, baby.
"Give the booty a little pinch" that's entertainment right there lmao
Man oh man. You must have a high tolerance for just "fuck it, try it" with these things. SO many of those things, I wouldn't even consider plugging in until I've cleared out the dust and crud from the boards. Really surprising to see that Toshiba at the end. LOVE these videos!
Wow! I was wondering when I was going to see sparks in one of these electronic restoration videos! Now I'm satisfied! Well done!
“Nope, nobody home” LOL
I grew up a mile from the airport. Hearing an airplane in each of your videos reminds me of home!
I had a procession of colour TV's in The UK:
They all had tired CRT's. The red parts of the pictures all exhibited flare at the edges.
All were 90 degree delta-gun CRT type. A re-gun in any case was more than the sets were worth.

The best vintage TV repair Chanel on u tube keep up the good work. it's grate
"There is not one flaw in the convergence on this set. It is absolutely perfect!"
The color killer works well, too, when the signal gets weak. That is a good set.
Now shango has tubes and parts galore.
I don't know, for some reason I kinda like that Emerson TV.
I love the styling on the Emerson at 13:44. really cool look on that thing
nice scores on that lot, Love the resurrection!
I wonder I you could make a video in which you explain how these CRT testers work and what all these readings really mean.
I want that Toshiba!!!
Awesome bro I like everything you stand for that video of the barbecue and & tv that was great📺📻📺🎞📼📸 I like the vintage tv & repairs and a little impatient I'm sorry I enjoy all your videos I just had surgery recovering at home
Love watching your videos!
Fantastic, I watch every one of these TV videos, its the exact opposite of how I work on tube electronics and yet if find it quite intriguing. Like Mozart vs. Death Metal. I use a Scalpel you use a Chainsaw. My favorite are the Push and pray moment when you turn the power on. Id be on the isolation transformer, Every electrolytic checked, Variac, 100 watt bulb in between, B+ on the volteter etc etc. Plug it in and duck works too. Them flyback transformers though, they can be scary stuff.
24:20 that is a neat little fly back... I hate to use the word cute but I'm inclined to agree with you.
A treat to come home trashed after a long day and find a long Shango video.
I don't collect TVs but today I got an old computer monitor for free. It reads *_Radio Shack TRS-80 Video Display_* manufactured December 1977. Looks like it's a modified TV, the case has holes to accomodate a telescopic antenna. It turns on, shows a white screen, bright tube. No idea what could do with it.
The Radio Shack "trash 80" computer did indeed use a TV (GE I think - I had the actual TV) but without the tuner circuitry.
Judging from the labels, I think it may be an RCA. It has a DIN connector coming from the front.
+MisterTalkingMachine you might be right about it being RCA. It's been a long time.
I just read the labels more carefully, it actually says _RCA Model no. KTR 122S_ in the back.
Would like to figure out what kind of interface it uses, so maybe I could display something on it with a microcontroller or something.
If else, guess I could feed a composite signal into it.
I've got a BK Precision CRT tester I bought new back when having one was the thing. It's the model 490. They really come in handy to verify the CRT condition. If folks only knew the kinda money a tech has in all their test jigs they'd understand why we had to charge so much cause that's how we paid for it. Great videos Sir.
Aí só tem relíquias, a Toshiba é incrível! Rio Brasil
That GE sounds like a car when the belts slipping!!!!!!!
Those RCAs were in every motel room when I was a little kid. Also, those GE Compactron tubes really came to life at 19:45 when you could clearly hear Kellyanne Conway start one of her sewage-filled spewages...
Wow, some real nice specimens there! But just like people, we could all use a little rejuvenation to come back from the dead!
LOL “ not on my watch “. I’ve never seen you wear a watch!
LMAO @ 32:02 Good one, always a zinger somewhere in these videos... well worth the wait
My grandparents had a little Toshiba like the one at the end. Except theirs was a tan case. They had it in their kitchen.
The one that was marked UL worked it all goes to show..
That TV at 20:00 sounds like its screaming in pain
I bet the only things worth while are the working tubes if any . well you did get one working set out of the deal. well well now we know what fun things you are thinking of . good idea I love the vintage designs of the sets and they really have changed a great deal. thank you for sharing this all the best always
Your voice reminds me of @shoenice lmao, but good video none the less!
The end comment was great 😂
This is considered a classic!
Shango, something like that Bradford, what do you do? I assume you salvage the tubes, but how much further do you go to disassemble and part it out?
19:56 the scream of a thousand lost cathodes... By God, it's alive!
Wow: Analog TV lives! I just looked up KZNO-LP. They broadcast on analog Channel 6!
My Aunt had that Emerson set. It was on one of those metal tv stands. I was a kid but I believe that was a sleep timer.
where did you find these? video? your description tells me nothing and i cant find the video on my own. anybody knows?
good video as usual.
13:48 one of these days I'd like to see you push as much voltage as the tester can supply into a dead CRT, just for shits and giggles.
The sad part is I had that and the older one with the double series string had the 29kq6 horizontal and 30ae3 both in separate Strings that set was newer with the 40kg6

Do you have any videos that show the parts needed to make a black and white set to show color ?
My grandparents had that GE compaction set. If I remember correctly it was kind of heavy for the size. None of us was allowed to mess with it.

what happens inside the picture tube that makes it weeks at first then "wake up"?
i have one of those blue ge tvs and it works but it has an open coil so it will no longer do anything.
Would there be a place that sells CRT / Tube testers anywhere anymore? If I have to go to eBay that's fine as well, but even though I've only got some 8 tubes I got out of a Zenith radio (a double diode, two pentodes, a triode, an unknown small tube missing some pins, and one with a plate cap?) that I don't know if they're in functional order.
I don't really want to do this for a job per se, rather as a hobby because I always thought tubes were cool, and when I finally got into electronics, tubes were all but gone (ca. 1980).
20:57 wow, and that did something
Surely the first Panasonic would make a good parts set; those things were well made.
Reminds me of when I was in electronics trade school $@#& years ago & working on some of those old sets. A classmate accidentally touched a live flyback transformer. He found out why we called it a flyback!
Aí os clássicos! Rio Brasil
oh another rescue vid or what you found can't wait to see were you got them unless your not going to do that in which case boo!
If you wanted to fix up one of those Taiwanese RCA sets, it should be pretty easy since you have three parts sets at your disposal.
Wow, a "dirty dozen" (or nearly so).
You have enough of those RCA's to make a few of them work, with one for parts.
How do you still have some analog TV stations on the air in LA? Mexico?
is it possible to put a brightener on a pvm
I am sure there is red mercury in the broken image lamp inside the TV😍
11:42 a billion and I have yet to find a single one... I can't find any tube sets at all anywhere (besides eBay and Craigslist of course).
9:44 I always wondered, couldn't you just create a vacuum again and reseal it?
Even better, it is perfectly possible to replace the gun with a brand new one. I don't think there is still a factory in the world where they do it, but I know for sure it has been done in eastern Europe up to a couple of years ago.
@@1959Berre I found a video of a group of people doing just that! ruclips.net/video/_Q5bEGikmNQ/видео.html
Do you keep tubes and parts from sets you can’t save?
Bradford - W.T. Grant Department Store. Could be Easterthen U.S. transplant to California. Grant operated out there too?
Remember brighteners? Doubt if you could find one in 2017 except in a broken TV. You must be as old as I am.
oh look a terracotta pot shaped like a tv. and free dirt!
Too bad that Bradford wasn't from the 60's. It would be made by Westinghouse and their color sets are a rare find. Bradford was W.T. Grant's private label brand.
I love the ge
When I he broke the ac power cord from the tv it scared the living shit out of me when sparks came
Same here! I screamed & nearly threw my phone.
i was expecting it, as soon at i saw the black marks near the base, Seen it before myself.
you know american televisions were built with great quality .much better than gold star (aka) lg ,and sony .zenith. blew sony away in picture quality and sound .Zenith was made in chicago of austin ave. on the north side of the city .
i use to live in chicago when zenith. was still in business back in the 1980's .i remember. you couldn't. bring a camera. in the plant .i remember. the tube division off north ave in melrose park close to the main plant in chicago .zenith was spread out on the north side of the city .
i wish the government. bailed them out like gm .didnt they know zenith was america last television. manufacturer in america .
Emerson is even junk today. The swap meet turntable video... Case and point.
"It must have been dirty on the inside of the CRT also!" :-)
Spiders love TV
Will you repair them?
If a TV gets toss out at least power the picture tube till it burns out.
I wonder what was the most worn out crt on this channel?
What exactly does rejuvination do to the elements
Seems like it overvolts them and heats them up. Not sure what that'd do, possibly burn off a layer?
It applies a bit more voltage than normal to the heater & then when you press the button it dumps a charged capacitor across the grid-cathode connection, this burns off some of the emissive material off the cathode to expose a fresh layer.
That TV is 40+ years old and the power button is messed up. My tv is from 2012 and the power button is messed up. They don't make TVs like they used to.
