Wow! What a tearful nostalgia that is! For I was a TV technician; for RCA Service Company for 33+ yrs; before GE bought it in 1988. I didn't want to stay; because GE TV's were no where what I was used to. So I quit. And later retired in 1996. Yes, I have fixed a number of those first portable RCA TV's. Wow, I haven't thought about them for a very long time. And I sit here watching one. Wow. I will be 90 yrs old on April 5th and I was hired by RCA in 1953; and I loved it every day. I will take it to my death. Praise Jesus. Thanks kind Sir; for putting that TV on RUclips.
Shango066= "The cornerstone of every Saturday morning breakfast"! This has become my Saturday morning norm. I used to do this repair crap years ago and got burned out but for some reason I like watching you Twinkledink with those sets. Thanks man! And Happy new year!
I made a post in the TV section of antique radios forum a few years back, asking for info on a Zenith that was my grandparents. Cant tell you how many stern sounding responses I got, demanding that I was not to turn it on until I had recapped everything. I told them I had already turned it on w/ a dim bulb and it was running great w/ no issue...wow the comments I got...it was like I had killed the damn pope. It was pretty funny how worked up they all got..
I used to work at the old factory building that produced a TV under the name Raytheon power tube under the name Dumont. Back in 1957 the BW TV small portable size costs $250.00 in the US and that equivalent to 3K today. When Hawaii became the US 49th state in 1959, my mother shipped the TV made in USA that called "portable unit" it was 15" Sylvania and she paid closed to $150.00 for the whole paycheck at Navy hospital nurse.
Have yourself a great and safe New Year Shango! We’re all quite psyched, I’m sure, for the installment. Great to see a new vid, you built up some great anticipation. Perhaps directly or not? Fantastic stuff, thank you.
Happy New Years Dan. You didn't miss anything. DeBlasio pushed a button, the ball dropped and a couple unknown bands played. Planet Fitness sponsored it. What a waste of time. I appreciate the time and talent you put into your electronics and mining videos. I know it takes hours to film and edit. I wish you and family a safe and healthy 2022. With some luck things will be looking up in December...
@@UHF43 same in Portugal, cinescopio. Cine comes from cinema wich i think means miving pictures and scopio means a device to see things for example microscopio to see small micro things
Nice resurrection. Cool to see that little set play again. Nice find with the cap value too... It's like someone shooting the parts cannon at a malfunctioning car without diagnosing the cause. Unintentionally adding an issue, or an issue on top of an issue that just leads to them giving up.
I had one of these but left it at my parents' home, which was sold after they moved to assisted living. Mine worked, but had an intermittent problem that caused the horizontal hold to lose lock when the set was fully warmed up. This TV was a true marvel of miniaturization for the 1950s as the case was hardly larger than the 9" picture tube, and it used large-format tubes!
A capacitor and resistor in series is a snubber circuit, they are used to dampen voltage spikes when switching on and off inductive loads, that blue component must be a all in one solution instead of having to add two separate components.
@@TheTreegodfather Yes, if the control voltage is AC, a reversed polarity diode across the coil if it's fed by DC. Snubber networks are also used between contacts on the output side of the contactor for inductive loads (typ. motors) for the same reason.
Happy New Year, shango! Great stuff! I have several of those RCA sets, so this was very helpful and educational. As you can tell, they’re little monsters to fix!
I always enjoy watching your videos even though I haven't a clue how these tv sets work. I picked this same set 10 years ago and it still worked in 2018 . Still has the little stand to hold it up. I appreciate your passion to bring them back to life. Happy New Year Shango
lol a clip from "A Place in the Country" was the last thing I expected to see. thanks Shango for helping us see in the new year, keep watching the skies for chemtrails.... man....
Happy New Year Shango066. Even here in upper east Tennessee,those damn jet spew out that mess. I am 61 and I miss the clear sky's we used to have.Since I was a little boy I loved to look at the stars. Thank you for another enjoyable video. All my best.
I have a rather pristine version of this set that I fully recapped years ago. They are not the best performers with no aluminised tube or DC restoration. That said, they do work good in a moderately lit room. They were intended as a personal TV and sold for around a hundred dollars in 1956, 57.
They were a novelty item back then, a technological triumph when console sets were massive. Had to trade off performance for size. Would have been used in a kitchen or bedroom where viewing quality was not that important.
I've seen a lot of repair videos and you rank among the top troubleshooters. Always a good learning experience. This is the first time I've seen a TV with such normally low picture tube anode voltage. I am surprised its designed that way. I restored a 17" Philco for a customer and it showed on the schematic as 15KV!!. Anyway it was great seeing how you tackle problems maybe I can get that good one day LOL. I been doing it for 35 years.
the "BLUE" cap is a "CAPRESISTER", and that is used for killing inductive spikes across switch/ relay contacts ( it is wired in parallel with the contacts).
It pretty much resembles a soviet TV called Zarya (Заря), although it was twice bigger. The funny thing about it is that it had hot chassis, and it could electrocute to death if you touch the metal case)).
most tvs in the uk had 'live' chassis, and many radios , but rarely had external metal case, i have one that does , Ekco TMB272, but uses a proper double wound mains transformer, luckily
@@andygozzo72 Near every Czechoslovak B/W TV had live chassis. But they were always in plastic or wooden case. Metal case would require 3 pin plug because it had to be grounded.
Happy New Year Shango. For a “turd-burglar”, as you called it; it’s a pretty cool TV ! Since you have 2 of these sets, I’d like to see you fully restore the set. Between the two, one would think you could make one working set with parts to spare. Hopefully that means you’ll have an extra CRT for it. Your a lucky man. You have citrus trees. We don’t have that in South Dakota ! I miss my Grandma’s Orange trees in Texas.
We don't have oranges or grapefruits floating around in Devon Uk either - we just have empty plastic bottles floating around everywhere ;) A happy, healthy and prosperous new year to you.
That was amazing . So difficult when someone else has played with it . Respect to you Shango . Think I will stick to AA5s !! Have a healthy and happy year and keep em coming . Always a great watch . Best wishes from the UK . AKA , the madhouse.
You got it running shango. It would have been a good kitchen table set.getting fu__ed up in the evening , having a beer and rolling one up. Looking forward to seeing some more tv repair and old mine vids. Good detective work on this one. You know stuff . Happy new year 👍✌️😎
THANK YOU! First video I've watched for the new year. I hope you bring everyone many more. Your videos bring me fond memories of my days in highschool electronics class! Thanks again for the memories 🙂
I'm a pilot. So you can trust me. All airplanes have a conceled chem-trail toggle switch. We aren't supposed to use them when ordinary people can see the trails. I'll be reporting this incident. You shall now forget what you saw....abracadabra. Otherwise, good vid. Doc
I look at this "chemtrails" phenomenon (26:53) with jaundiced eye, as I have seen stuff like this in the sky as far back as I can remember, around 1963 or so. These are condensed ice crystals from the exhaust plumes of jet aircraft. Portable, low-budget television sets of the mid-1950's were fairly novel at that time and priced accordingly. It was just as true back then as it is today --- you get what you pay for.
We had chemtrails coughids floods and recappers gone wild. Very entertaining. Great little diagnosis. Pity the picture was so crap. Some repairs are like that.
Good Job, Buddy! Entertaining and educational. I very much like that You spared us the safety talk! People who do tube stuff know what to do and there are so many other tube stuff vids around with safety talk that I deem this completely ok. I´ll stick around for more repairs😀
“Keep picture bulb away from children” might not be such bad advice since some parents use it as an electronic babysitter. “See,look how quiet she gets when the Kardashians come on,it makes my job as a mom much so much easier” 😀
Enjoyed the troubleshooting - as always. Sorting out an old TV is still an education in electronics, even if it is +60 years old. I appreciated it very much! I really think that "Belting that CRT with the Beltron" (rejuvenate) is something that should have been done - tho. After all, you now have a good picture bulb if it should all go sideways. 73.
LOL on keeping everyone happy. I wait all week for your videos.....you be as safe or dangerous as you want. You are my entertainment. As far as i am concerned, its your channel and i am not going to tell you what to do. Keep up the great content. Love it!
Occasionally my dad brings up having one of these portable B&W’s he had to share with my aunt back in the day. It got handed down when my grandparents got the new color set for their bedroom, he’d hear them watching the Ed Sullivan show on.
Have a Happy and higher minded New Year Shango. I have two of these sets. One is virgin and works very well . The other set needs resurrected and recapped. Hopefully I won't make the same mistake as the last person did that worked on your set.
I was interested in the flat earth comment myself. I would love to hear you on Crrow777 sometime to share ideas. I think a dialog between Shango and Crrow could be quite entertaining and enlightening.
Another very brutal, but very effective repaire. But personally, I remembered when I was still a child and watched my grandfather's old shitty Soviet TV with picture quality even worse than that. Thanks for the memories...
Here in the UK our small black and white tvs were made by Ferguson, the Ferguson Courier was one of the best portables ive ever seen for picture quality. its true shango, the picture on yours looks so bad, so much so id argue the contrast circuit is not working.
silicone~ did think of that~ rare parts trying to turn to soil are hard to find, disappointed the picture quality with so many tubes, thanks for posting this Shango066~
In response to the rhetorical of 44.24, personally I daily-drive a 4.5" clock/radio/TV combo (through modulated RF) for my CCTV on the front of the house. It's actually fascinating viewing, much better than what comes though the anus of mainstream media.
1:09:10 The cap with a resistor in series is, if I recall well, a 'spark killer', to be put over switching contacts, probably when loaded inductively. (Quench - ark )
Puts me in mind of the lipstick red gold trim RCA Model 14-S-7070G as the 100b came in the same color scheme too. It would be nice to find the original factory stand for that television.
I have a full restored RCA 8-PT-7031. I love the thing! I can assure you that the picture is crisp, sharp, whites are bright and black are super black! Actually really impressive for a 5kv CRT! My Ion trap moved and has to fix that and the rings. Luckily my yoke cover is solid and intact. I plan to make an .STL so it can be 3D printed like you've mentioned before. The video your getting on your set is god awfle. Nowhere near what is should look like. Same for the other one yo worked on. Just a really bad picture. They should NOT look like this when absolutely perfect. Its a great little TV. It really is! As good as it gets for it's small size!

It's incredible Shango can get any quality electronic repair done in such a chemtrail-filled atmosphere.
chemtrails do technically exist as some aircraft _still_ use leaded gasoline.
He watches for any unwanted sparks that might ignite the aluminum aerosols, though. Kinda keeps one eye on the work and the other between blinks.

In Poland we call CRT of a TV or monitor a Kineskop. Don't change it.
In Spain it was also common the word "cinescopio", probably a loan from Italian.
@@UHF43 same in Portugal, cinescopio. Cine comes from cinema wich i think means miving pictures and scopio means a device to see things for example microscopio to see small micro things
good to know :)
In Czech we call it "obrazovka". This is more close to picture bulb :-)
Hmm, and in the English, a kinescope is a recording of a live TV broadcast taken from the TV set. Probably same root word/words
Those are some nice water crystal trails, just like cirrus clouds. That's some nice orange sunsets there. 🌞☀
Happy New Orbit of the earth round the sun. Thank You for the priceless knowledge you share, spiked with cynicism and many drops of fun.
Nice resurrection. Cool to see that little set play again.
Nice find with the cap value too... It's like someone shooting the parts cannon at a malfunctioning car without diagnosing the cause. Unintentionally adding an issue, or an issue on top of an issue that just leads to them giving up.

Exactly correct. We use those all the time in industrial automation across relay coils.
@@TheTreegodfather Yes, if the control voltage is AC, a reversed polarity diode across the coil if it's fed by DC. Snubber networks are also used between contacts on the output side of the contactor for inductive loads (typ. motors) for the same reason.
