1949 Westinghouse Tube Television Restoration

I was given this set (1949 Westinghouse H-223) from a member of the Vintage Television Collectors group on Facebook. I've been sitting on it for a while and finally decided to restore it. It took about 2 weeks since I hit a brick wall with the excessive horizontal overscan. Really nice tabletop model. Picture is nice a bright.
I used a B&K 465 CRT Tester. For testing the tubes, I use a Superior TV-11. I order parts from Antique Electronic Supply and Mouser.
Let me know if you all want restoration videos in the future. I'm currently making the Zenith restoration video.
Please let me know if you have any questions! I'm still learning everyday. I don't claim to be an expert with tube televisions by any means.

My grandmother had an old Dumont TV. It was bw and really built.

Great video! I like to see older stuff live on . They don’t make them like they used to.

[@iowalife6562]

Good job ! like your channel !

[@robertbenkelman947]

I have a 1951 Westinghouse television and it is a display item. Just like the one you have. I have not worked on it, exact duplicate of your television. That coating on the outside is called aquadag, an electrically conductive graphite-based paint.

My Maternal Grandfather Worked at Westinghouse at the time this tv was made he worked for them for 19 years after the war ( WW2)

[@televisionforever]

Wow what a job to have. Very possible he helped build this very set. Very large industry at the time.

[@barryismygod]

@@televisionforever he had just gotten out of the Army Air corps in ‘45 with my grandma ( who was also in the air corps it’s where they met) (they were married the year before than my aunt was born the following year)

Hello beautiful TV love Brazil 🥰💞

[@aKuBiKu]

Very cool. I hope to get myself an older set like this one day as well. All of mine are 70s/80s.

[@annelisepereira5721]

Beautiful thank you kiss Brazil 🤗😙😑

[@televisionforever]

Thanks so much!

[@biswasaditya19]

Nice I loved it ❤

[@televisionforever]

Thanks so much!

[@MisakaMikotoDesu]

I think you should do what makes you happy. Stop worrying about what we want, because youtube probably won't be a part of our lives forever. Even if it is, do you really want to sacrifice your happiness for an audience? I'm just glad we get to see you work on this stuff, it's interesting to see and fun to watch.

Excellent job on this beautiful early postwar set! Looks to me like it might be a little out of focus, though.

[@litoboy5]

A jewel

[@RESTORATIONOFSCRAPMETAL]

Greetings buddy, cool job. I like it👍

[@televisionforever]

Thanks so much!

[@doog13r2]

Nice job! Keep it up. :-)

[@televisionforever]

Thank you so much!

Just imagine this is how electronics looked like in the late 40's. Yep, they didn't have circuit boards back then. Everything is soldiered together properly but it looks messy as hell. It must have been a headache to assemble these tv sets back in the day.

[@steventrosiek2623]

The covering on the crt is called bandag

[@kkteutsch6416]

I used to service mid '60 and 70s tube type p/b tv sets and some famous brands here in Brazil don't survided a crosshatch video pattern... Horizontal lines at top and bottom are full round barrel distorted, probably thanks to poor deflection yoke construction...

Herlig nostalgi 🏁🏁❤️❤️🇩🇰

[@lkmsl]

Great job ! More, more , more ! A little more detail please !

[@televisionforever]

I should be doing more detail. It’s just hard to film everything but since people are liking the videos, I’d be happy to!

[@journeyon1983]

Oh, I see your cat is a foot destroyer like mine is >> 8:34 Sorry but your cat is certainly the attention winner on your videos. LOL!

[@texarkana3781]

What's the source for the programming. The VHS tape player?

[@makyhsmakyhs6766]

What about the refurbish of the wooden chassis !

[@user-pn8tm5eq3u]

How much would it cost today to restore, based on the parts you bought?

[@jimrick6632]

LOVE THIS KIND OF STUFF...BUT YOUR VOLUME IS WAY TO LOW....

[@makyhsmakyhs6766]

Do you repair radio - turntable console !

[@televisionforever]

Hey I never got your email to [e-mail]. Did you send one? I repair radios but do not have much knowledge in turntable repair.

[@mrliberty8468]

Oh its veneer..I have a 48.

[@televisionforever]

Yes I realize that now haha. I do like the cabinet but wish I could redo the protective coating over the veneer but that’s kinda risky to take off without scratching the veneer

[@thomaslucas6079]

Love your cat. I have two but they are outdoor cats. The mother had them in my garage but about two months later she disappeared I assume someone or something killed her. They have a safe place to sleep my garage but I don't want indoor cats.

[@marciocamilo1722]

Was high voltage generated with low frequency? I didn't see any flybacks.

[@televisionforever]

This set does have a flyback inside the flyback cage, I didn't notice I didn't get any footage of it.
