I have a Fisher stereo from 1964. A few years ago, when I was cleaning it out, a stink bug managed to fall inside the dial and get stuck in there. I tried everything I could think of to get it out, but there wasn't anything I could do to get it out, without breaking the dial because it's such a tight space, between the dial cover and the number plate. I thought it was dead and I was going to have to have someone take the stereo apart. I forgot about it for a year. The thing stayed in there, the whole time. Then I slid the case off, when I had to move the stereo, and wouldn't you know it, the damned thing actually managed to work its way out. It was still alive!

Dude, that thing looks so nostalgic and cool!

Die Kuba Komet gab es in zwei Varianten, die andere hatte anstelle des Plattenspielers ein AEG Magnetophone Tonbandgerät eingebaut. Dieses wunderschöne Stück steht in Frankfurt im Museum für Kommunikation

Those Predicta TVs are such a gorgeous design!

remove all junk inside and put new 4k hdr stuff with new radio and shit man hahahaha its useless what is in it anyways but the furniture is nice

I have a Nordmende console radio/record player with an almost identical radio unit, also brought home directly from Germany at some point in its life. Works beautifully with only a little TLC needed.

you better watch cabinet of dr. caligary on that thing

Excelente restauración, mi like y me suscribo.

1:29 - dude is so excited he's speaking in tongues! 😈 😂

Getting huge Fallout Shelter Vibes!

That thing is insane.. and cool tatt

My imagination tells me that if you turn on the TV that you'll still be picking up shows from that era.

Set looks so nice, would love to see apple TV or something working on something like this.

Nice videos man😮

What was that funny noise? At first I thought my headphones were going.

I would be too afraid of someone getting hurt with that

that looks like it came off the set of peewees playhouse i thought it had lips and one eye from the thumbnail

Awesome piece man, but wtf was spoken at at the 1:31 min mark!?! It scared me!

very cool

I wish I had one of these, but I do have the only 80 inch Advent Videobeam front projection TV ever made.

Dude stole that straight from nuketown

The little New Vista is actually a very small tube. When cleaning a New Vista tuner use care. Pull the 2 shields & put a tiny amount of cleaner on the contacts only. Using too much often causes the RF amp to break out in oscilations. C U Later

Suddenly have a obsession for mid century tech. Also this thing is on 1st dibs for 25k 🤯

WHY? Warum nicht?

You, Sir, bought yourself two things: 1. A marvellous example of the Googie Architecture Style age, (yes, it's called Googie!) and 2. A huge pain in the butt to restore it and make it work.

That's a beautiful set! I love old technologies and this television is just amazing.

Amazing congrats on your find

Lol Raytheon used to make television tubs haha. Makes sense

That is stunning

Its beautiful. But not hi fi. It has the original systems. Look for a late British Dynatron. Phono, FM radio and cassette in beautiful real wood cabinet. Real Hi Fi, not just crap sound in a fancy box. Good luck!

This is an amazing piece. Wow. Just wow. Thank you so much for sharing this! Fascinating

Woah nice bro.

Man sollte bei solchen Historischen Radios auch die kleine Kondensatoren drin lassen, und nur das heisse ende still legen und darüber einen neuen Montieren. Sonst wird ein teil der Klassischen Technik Vernichtet. 🥵😡🥵😡

My grandpa had the fitting office desk and a similrly shaped book- & record cabinet as well as a small coffe table in his office. All of this furniture was very evvagantly shaped and had this two-tone veneer. When we cleared out the house, nobody wanted this furniture, not even for free. That was in 2014.

Thanks for 1:30 - I have a new notification tone now.

That noise is just his wife, Izabella from animal crossing. I think we found the doom guy here.

That is so cool. We need people like yourself, to keep these treasures around. We had TV cabinet deal, with speakers and a turntable in a drawer. Mid-60’s probably.

Oh! I did not realize that all the electronics for the TV were exposed in a WOOD cabinet! There is probably only 20 or so left because they caught on fire! O.o

My grandma had a TV like that

Exactly our tv when I was a kid. Smelled like ozone. Had to wiggle the tuner all the time.

You could design a living room around this absolutely stunning piece of art. There's just nothing like it. Please treat it like the future heirloom it is.

Someone was happy they sold that

Thanks for showing this furniture and many thanks for taking up the effort of saving it. it is an impressive peace of entertainment electronics and certainly rare and even more in this converted version. the original owner must have loved this as much as you do and both of you are lucky to have the space to keep it. actually i think its well presented in your room as far as the video shows. there was a time when each living room was dominated by the tv set but rarely a device of this impressive size. all the radio and tv companies of these days had their own big wood workshops and used some really impressive expertise to offer even more impressive products than the competitors. this comet really must not have easy beeing overtaken by any other manufacturer. apart from this you needed some really big pocket to pay für it as it back in the days was expensive like a small car but it was adressed to customers driving a big car anyway 😊. and you answered the question from the start of the video yourself: now as you got it, what to do next? get it up and running. that will be a brillant travel through tv history. best, albrecht

картинный сойбой куколд)

Congrats! I used to repair such in my internship time, not gonna do that again though

The 1907 Cubist roots of Futurism, which began in 1909.

Tell me something is 70s without telling me it’s 70s

Love it , Make a copy and put a UHD panel in it. Probably has been altered for USA Scan rate and line count different also voltage .

That’s definitely a museum piece. Great score!

Buying out dated furniture is a hobby?!?
