Great video! Years ago, verbal communication was done on a very precise level which made the intended message clear and understandable. Was refreshing to hear clearly spoken communication on the cassette. Generally today on the radio or news all I hear is "ah, ah, (a word) ahhhh, (another word), ahhh, ahh...", even by what are suppose to be professionals.
Multi - I concur. IMO (Ha!) for various reasons, texting has contributed to a serious decline in verbal communication skills for a lot of people today. I'm flabbergasted at the way people rushmumble their spoken words. Seems some people want to hear themselves bleat without regard to relevance, or other people's comprehension. And the word salad coming from some of today's politicians is mind-boggling. Who was that ancient greek politician who cured his mumbling by trying to talk with stones in his mouth? Promethius? I'll look that up and edit the answer. BTW (Ha, again), if you yearn to hear the way radio hosts *used* to speak in the 60's and 70's you might try listening to Jean Shepherd on dapper gent, silent Shep, and green tea blend RUclips channels. Edit: Demosthenes was the one who practiced speaking with pebbles in his mouth. I guess some people today forget to take the pebbles out before speaking😛
While you were talking about all those test sockets all I could hear was: I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
For some reason I find your videos to be very relaxing to watch, I love that you don’t edit them to the point that you make it look easy to diagnose these TVs! Makes me feel better about my struggles repairing TVs and other electronics! I never worked on TVs before about 10 years ago when I couldn’t find anyone to fix them anymore. To bad we can’t get CRT tubes rebuilt anymore, unfortunately there’s not enough business to keep one afloat. Anyway thanks for another great video, keep them coming I watch them all!
The zenith training tape was actually pretty interesting. There was a lot of tech in these things. Zenith obviously expected people to diagnose individual circuits on VCR's little knowing that no one needed to know any of it and all the problems tended to be mechanical, power supply or tape path related. Given what they did day after day these things were incredibly reliable. I still have a six head VCR, can't throw it out, although it hasn't been powered up in years. The cassette tape sounded exceptionally good. Now THAT was and still is a SOLID format.
You're really spoiling the viewers Shango with all these great videos, and two in one weekend! It isn't junk if you can actually use it one day. The Mission Imposssible voice begins at 40:00 in. Good morning Mr. Phelps.
I've nerded in my pants. Clever how the recording system re-purposes the sync pulses and also the cross-talk elimination with the azimuth skew guard band. Learned that stuff back in 1985/6 and was amazed by how much I'd forgotten. I guess to re-learn it I've pushed some other knowledge out of my head and now maybe I can't use my smart phone or the microwave...thanks.
Thanks for that even the tape since it was historical and nice to refresh my memory on days gone by. I am in debt to you for all I have learned and enjoyed. I don't watch much tv. I have more hours watching Shango my favorite channel. super hot day nice to have something to watch indoors made my Sunday decent. Thanks a million until next time I will be patiently waiting. Mike
The reason why it was important that the degaussing coil have an extended life feature was that many of them were made with wire sizes that were too small for the purpose, and even in the normal course of degausing a TV set they could easily overheat.
At 1:10:44 you state that this is a 2-head unit, it is actually a 4-head unit. If you look closely there are 2 allen set screws at each head location, those are used for setting the overall height of each head for precise tape path tracking. That is a double azimuth system (SP and EP heads next to each other for "trick play" features like noiseless FF and REW search, and still frame) where as each head is actually 2 heads separated by 6.5 horizontal lines (I think). During "trick play" the lowest amplitude head is replaced by the other higher amplitude head for a noise free picture. A 2-head unit only has one height adjustment screw at each head. I actually took training from GE-RCA, Panasonic (Matsushita), Mitsubishi, Toshiba, JVC and others like Sony in the mid 80s. Those were good times.
Great video Shango! I really enjoy seeing your finds. Your commentary on the 70’s fashions in the old newspaper ad cracked me up. “What would you call that look? Upstanding? Why isn’t he sagging his pants and all gangstered out”,”wow those would be considered domestic terrorists today in that denim”. That kid on the opposite end of the ad looks like Chuckie. I hope you make a video on the B&K color analyst.I’d like to see that in action.
Yes, Predictas were used in hotels. Bob Anderson has some vintage ads. I believe it was Holiday Inn or Best Western that featured them. That one having a UN sticker, may have been in DC. Watergate Hotel?? 🤣🥰😇 Lots of other good stuff ya got there!
Yep. It’s a motel set. There’s a “‘mate” to it that’s been for sale on craiglist in Los Angeles for about a month. It too is just the bottom cabinet and chassis,missing the crt portion. $50. I’m sure someone will buy it from Shango.
I enjoyed the tape guest presenter..! I collect spoken word oddity cassettes (here in the UK Charity Shops still have stock). I’ve sleep, smoking cessation, mindfulness (🤮), and nursery rhyme examples.. I’ll like to stumble on one that was as useful as your Zenith tape..👍
I was on the edge of my seat for the "Sight and Sound" portion. As far as the Tripler segment you might do, work up an EOL on a CRT with excessive high voltage, like the safety cap failure in the early 80's TV's. Zenith was notorious. A friend was working on a 13", he left the room for a moment, and the CRT exploded due to HV runaway. That would be EOL entertainment at it's finest. Major score on the CRT test sockets for the Sencore and the Beltron. All of the TV shops in my area closed up decades ago so today all I can rely on is eBay. Great video; stay hydrated.
My grandparents house has that exact NuTone installed, w/ intercom heads in each of the bed rooms. I did have to repair it like 3-4 years ago but the things still works great. I even found all the original manuals and paperwork that came with it.
Did you not say that on the last video Shango did that showed intercoms.. unless it was a different person with a shockingly same story as this current one you mention.
From the Zenith eduaudio: "The color signal is heterodyned down to a lower carrier frequency and recorded directly onto the tape." VHS Home recordings have half the already poor color resolution because of this. Commercially recorded VHS appears to omit this conversion step, and has a more full resolution. Anyone ever get hold of a commercial recorder? Or modify and old VCR? Great material! Thanks for playing it.
Only once someone explains what the hell a "andnold VCR" is and where I can get one. Then we will be safe from the monster it won't be able to hurt us anymore... Hahaha unless someone did something insane or careless like leave the door open to the old movie room where "it" could catch a whiff of a old VHS tape case that's slightly open. M
I repaired VCRs for a company that duplicated movies. They used GoVideo double decker VCRs and they could be chained to duplicate from a master. I run across one from time to time. I assume these duplicate in full resolution.
Socket 3 is for the delta gun rectangular tubes. I think 4 is for the earlier GE inline porta-color tubes and there was a socket 16 that fits the later GE and Sylvania inline gun tubes from the mid-to-late '70s.
I created an app for my pc some years ago that stores inventory information to a SQL server database server (express, the free version) running on the same machine. It took awhile to load up with all my spare parts / components data into but it's been well worth it. Every time I get any new items they go into the database which also has their storage location. I know what I have and what I don't have. The stash was getting too big, and my memory too bad to keep track of it. As a side note I do backups of the database and store them to my NAS. I would never have the motivation to do all that work again. Keep all the computer software and data that you care anything about in at least two places.
I have a 19AP4 that rings like that and it still has a vacuum. When I finally got crt tester earlier this year it tested very weak, but after a few rejuvenation hits it now test quite good.
We had the Nut One intercom/radio in our kitchen... my dad ask my sister one night how to say NuTone, she said Nut One, he had to admit she was right. That's American education.
You probably know by now but the B&K 850 color analyzer probe you showed at 30:59 I believe is an optical device that attaches to the center of the screen and is used to achieve proper white balance.
10:00 We had that exact intercom system in our new house (built in 1969) my parents bought in 1969 in Spokane Washington. It worked great on FM! Nice find!
I used to work on VCRs. I didn't mind them although the other techs and owner hated them and were more than happy to have me fix them. The only ones I really hated were the RCAs with the weird timing mechanism and maybe some of the strange ones like the Akai with the direct drive reel motors. Most of the others there were about 10 things that would go wrong that were more or less the same on all of them. I took on HI-8 camcorders as well which most wouldn't touch. Fixed most of them but I remember one that got it's mechanics straightened up but somehow lost some stored calibrations (chroma shift) and had to send it out for alignment as we did not have the appropriate scopes to do it in house.
The TC-127 is pretty cool. It has cabinet doors over the front of it, came in walnut, mahogany or oak according to a picture online i saw at the radio museum site.
In 1982 Video cassette recorders were in their infancy. I found the audio Zenith training tape quite interesting. I use to work on them until a plastic gear would break. I stopped working on them after that. I had a nice portable VHS machine back in the 1980's, when it broke a gear, that was the end of using it. That was so disappointing, still hanging on to it for the memories of what it was.
had a grundig reel to reel who had a casting that fell apart, crumbled into pieces, might have been radioactive, castings can be made from anything~ the speeds were variable,~ this fallen unit was my first attempt at repair, I was seven years old
That looks like a Van 🚐 Halen record. Yes, the TV appears to be in pretty bashed up shape. Seems like the “tire”, on the flyback of all these sets become conducive over time. I never knew that any TV 📺 flyback had a purity magnet 🧲 until I saw one of your videos several years ago. Your friend, Jeff.
Interesting to hear your take on VCR’s at the end as I often wondered if it was something you ventured into. For some time I was involved in the rental of Televisions and VCR’s and personally I hated repairing the VCR’s, especially the older ones
Just a thought about the B&K Colour Analyst (Brüel & Kjær). They make test analysis equipment for professional Studios. Looks like the model 850 Color analyst is for professional color grading at television studios, a very expensive piece of Kit Sir :-))
I like the tube caddy with all the monkey wards tubes and parts in it. I'm wondering if it came from the same place as the CRT tester sockets, and was part of a large collection used by a Montgomery Ward service center. the logo is from the early 1970s to the late 1980s.
The problem was buying a used tube caddy is that most repairman took out a new tube put it in the set and put the bad tube in the carton in the tube caddy. So it is possible to have a load of old bad or average tubes in what looks like a tube caddy full of NOS tubes.
Haha yes indeed I got a bunch of TV HV tubes, PL506 or something for free, but they seem used as fuck and IIRC those tubes were a common failure point in TVs of the era when they used tubes only for HV switching.
I have also bought batches of tubes where narly all of them looked and tested like new but they were in the wrong boxes, as if some kid took them out to play with them and then put them all back into the wrong cartons.
I think the flybacks with only the primary and an overwind are probably EHT transformers for monitors or displays which have separate deflection and high voltage generation circuits, I noticed the boxes said Rockwell, maybe for military or industrial CRT displays ?
Hey Shango, you mentioned scratches on CRT tubes. Is there a way to get those out, or is it just permanent damage? I have a little tv I want to use for a project, but it's got some good scuffs on the glass. Thanks
The right gauge wire and a die should do the trick. If it were me, I would make a jig to bend the wire. Once that is done, producing a few hundred would take a day. Could literally be a few well placed standoffs on a piece of wood. Cut the wire to length, cut the threads while the wire is straight, bend, check, done. Not sure how stainless steel would affect the fly back, if it does at all, but that would be my choice.
Damn shango youre spoiling us with 2 1hour specials in a row, tb perfectly honest wouthout sounding horrible you are the only american techie i can tolerate, theres a certain canadian one who is a right bigheaded dick, ive been watching your videos since you started, love em all!
I have the same degaussing coil as you , no instructions , do you have a degaussing how to or demo video ? If not would you make one please I can't seem to find one . Or would you please make a short video showing the instructions sheet ? Thank you for posting P.S. is there any other use for the coil at all ?
Yep,I just brought back a whole bunch of nos 60’s incandescent bulbs today from a sale. You won’t be able to get stuff like that in commiefornia anymore
Shango, enjoyed everybit & voice second of the Audio Manual of this, Especially the beautiful Techno Zenith drawl voice of the narator which was also precise, interesting & highly explanatory. It would help if you could please att/addin/follow up vid, with the pic of the Zenith Manual he is referring, not found anywhere on internet. I agree with N Guage, you definitely are spoiling us.
2:23 it'll cost more than $100 in your time and materials alone to pack it up, plus postage. Only to look more like one of your EOL's when it arrives at the destination☹️
Hey Vanguard Drum & Bugle from Santa Clara!! I lived there in 1980 and they were the hot stuff in town until Great America opened and then the 49'ers moved there.! I guess they are still around...left a long time ago.
I need the channel knob of the predicta, been trying to find one for ages. Problem is that i am outside the us, if you could ship it just give the price...
Gee, I wonder how much my unopened copy of Pat Benatar "Get Nervous" LP will go for. Bought brand new by my aunt in 1982 and never been played. Includes the Certificate of Authenticity card from Chrysalis Records.

Maybe that Sight and Sound tape went with a “film strip”. Remember those?
I think the flybacks with only the primary and an overwind are probably EHT transformers for monitors or displays which have separate deflection and high voltage generation circuits, I noticed the boxes said Rockwell, maybe for military or industrial CRT displays ?

I wonder if the scratches threaten the structural integrity of the CRT.
@@KameraShy Nope, because it's scratches on the safety glass.
That tape was actually quite interesting.
I'll bet that those U-bolts wouldn't to be tough to fabricate. Even in a home garage.
The right gauge wire and a die should do the trick. If it were me, I would make a jig to bend the wire. Once that is done, producing a few hundred would take a day.
Could literally be a few well placed standoffs on a piece of wood. Cut the wire to length, cut the threads while the wire is straight, bend, check, done.
Not sure how stainless steel would affect the fly back, if it does at all, but that would be my choice.
More SHANGO TUBE + COLOR projects makes happy.
I don't do much with old T.V.s... or with old radios. Though... I guess I've got a problem because I watch a lot of Shang066 videos.
Cuantas cosas lindas Felicitaciones!!!

I think those Zenith tapes were probably used in a school classroom of some sort.
I have the same degaussing coil as you , no instructions , do you have a degaussing how to or demo video ? If not would you make one please I can't seem to find one . Or would you please make a short video showing the instructions sheet ? Thank you for posting P.S. is there any other use for the coil at all ?
I understand your light bulb "fetish" when some are being banned from being sold
Yep,I just brought back a whole bunch of nos 60’s incandescent bulbs today from a sale. You won’t be able to get stuff like that in commiefornia anymore
bandersontv has one of those hotel perdictas he is working on right now he can always use the parts
I think he's on the other coast but yeah, would sure make use of it
My goodness! I was in that drum corp! New Jersey checking in!
Shango, enjoyed everybit & voice second of the Audio Manual of this, Especially the beautiful Techno Zenith drawl voice of the narator which was also precise, interesting & highly explanatory. It would help if you could please att/addin/follow up vid, with the pic of the Zenith Manual he is referring, not found anywhere on internet. I agree with N Guage, you definitely are spoiling us.
2:23 it'll cost more than $100 in your time and materials alone to pack it up, plus postage. Only to look more like one of your EOL's when it arrives at the destination☹️
do you ever list any of these parts for sale on ebay?
That doll in that newspaper paper add looks like chucky.
Shango066, I also have an incandescent light bulb hoarding fetish myself! 😀
Hey Vanguard Drum & Bugle from Santa Clara!! I lived there in 1980 and they were the hot stuff in town until Great America opened and then the 49'ers moved there.! I guess they are still around...left a long time ago.
Looks like a re-cappers wet dream.
if anyone needs flybacks you have them 😂
Loads of things to play with, err i mean check over :)
So many Lopt's there has to be a few you can use shango.
Stutter point / Bark / Rash lol ! where did you lear that ?
I need the channel knob of the predicta, been trying to find one for ages. Problem is that i am outside the us, if you could ship it just give the price...
4:24 - if that Drum LP is in nice shape that's a $20 flip on Discogs
Gee, I wonder how much my unopened copy of Pat Benatar "Get Nervous" LP will go for. Bought brand new by my aunt in 1982 and never been played. Includes the Certificate of Authenticity card from Chrysalis Records.
