I don´t know, I write this out into the blue. I´ve been a regular viewer since many-many years. I appreciate the content you create, and the knowledge you teach to young electronics enthusiasts. There is just one thing that did upset me, and it´s your "request" video where you fixed an old oscilloscope. Don´t get me wrong, I´m 100% behind the support you give to the person who demanded this video, but what upset me, is that you´re obviously extremly picky when it comes to comments. Over the past years I´ve written a comment here, a comment there. Whilst one was more informative (and I think this was the first one I´ve ever written) where I told you you should be pleased with your few AM stations, bc here in Germany all had been shut off in 2015, the official ones, it is okay that you didn´t reply, but later, when I asked questions like "How is your amateur radio stuff going - especially ATV" ... or when you asked "suggest which radio I should fix next" and I replied "Please fix the rare regenerative receiver because people haven´t seen one of these on your channel yet"... you also didn´t reply. To me this was okay, bc people write 100s of comments here, and I thought "he´s very busy" (you claim that often). He just doesn´t have time to read *every* single comment. I was really upset, when I did read through many comments, just to find out that you seem to read every single comment, otherwise the 2-sentence request from the person "in need" wouldn´t have been noticed by you, and then you even made the 1hr20 minutes video "altough you are busy". I´m just super upset that bigger youtubes don´t cater to "smaller people" anymore. I bought stuff for "diode gone wild" because I thought he´s very open for receiving items. It were things I thought he sure may like - mainly high voltage generator "kit(s)" / pre built devices, but multiple contact attempts (send an email to his website, write comments) were completely unansered. I wanted (one day) to send an item to you, a homemade 6 transistor regenerative radio... that has the "special feature" that it does not use a single coil. The receiving part of it is a "RC" oscillator, and the frequency is tuned via a variable capacitor. I thought it´d be great and you´d make a vid about it, but now... I have a feeling even asking wouldn´t make sense at all. After the thing with your "requested oscilloscope repair", I stopped watching your videos... I don´t know if I´ll return... I need time (and no I´m not a snowflake, am millenial generation).

Hi Shango- I’m a local fan from LA. I started my career in 1974 (16 year old girl) at a TV repair shop . If I competed my office work, I could apprentice….. My journey was Electronics classes in high school, trade school, college. Eventually I worked in Radio TV Broadcasting as an Engineer to feed my family. Love it!!!! Love your channel

[@directcurrent5751]

Great story Mary. I could have gone the same route. I hung out in back of repair shop. Charles E Stone urged me to study electronics engineering. But when I got to college, calculus and chemistry were big turn offs. I did a career as a technical writer. Turning 65 in January. Electronics will always be a love.

Shango due to this being in such good condition its well worth dropping a new crt in it, its a nice little set actually.

[@Suddenlyits1960]

@shango066,Im glad youre mentioning this. You're right. KZbin is getting extremely critical about what comments it feels should be posted Its too bad they dont share the same respect for freedom of speech that you do.

this set I think is in cosmetic and physically worth restoring. A new CRT and some caps. I really enjoy your channel, I don't write negative comments unless it is really constructive. I just appreciate your doing these videos as very few as much as you do and it is very educational and helpful to me at least. I could never pay you or thank you enough. And the few minor mistakes well I could never do better anyway and most mistakes you find and correct. You make great funny satire at times which I enjoy as I agree with the comments. Thanks a Billion..... Mike

[@brownfranklin]

My grandmother had a set very similar to this when she lived in Randolph, MA. Hers did not have the UHF tuner, though. In the place of it was another speaker grill. She bought it around 1960 to replace her 1950's TravLer TV. I have slides of it when it was in the living room and a couple of years ago, I found a spending record of hers and she recorded that she spent around $160 for it in 1960. My uncle briefly used it in the 1970's when I was young, when their Magnavox set stopped working.

[@cmans79tr7]

Ancient portable TV, not a speck of dust or grime, inside or out?! I could be wrong, but the appearance of the white carrying handle, through my TV screen at least, seems to have been carefully cleaned. Not a speck of dust inside a high-hour set with tubes with obviously high hours and no dust on them? Could be low hour set with old tubes inserted, but that corroded tube says otherwise. I think cleaning technology is getting pretty good. My wife's Honda had a slight oil seepage from the valve cover gasket that attracted a lot of dirt. Dealer replaced the gasket, and when the car came back, the engine compartment was absolutely spotless, like a showroom car, and that car had 50,000 miles on it. I worked one summer circa 1976 at a car dealer and i saw cars being detailed, but this recent Honda engine compartment detailing was "off the hook". I wonder if this TV got similar treatment. You mention a very strong "electronics" smell...maybe carbon tetrachloride or some other chemical used to clean the set?

[@davidarnette327]

Ok ,clean and intelligent criticism. " It is gassed out, Isn't that pretty " . All the other tubes working hard didn't get any praise . The one with gas in the room gets all the attention.

Had the pleasure of staying a night at the Wigwam motel in Holbrook AZ in 2004. Aside from the concrete teepees, old cars, and the angled bathroom mirror, my room at that time had a working B&W tube TV. I was dead tired from an extra long day addressing car trouble so I didn’t watch it long, but it was an authentic 50’s-60’s experience. I appreciate your comments off topic and expect next year to be awful enough for “do no evil” to be unusable

[@tschak909]

It still amazes me to this day, that even when printed circuit boards became possible, point to point wiring was still used in the consumer electronics space for more than a decade after.

[@tarstarkusz]

That requires a big investment in equipment and a bunch of training for the employees to work with the new production equipment. Plus a bunch of down time when the new equipment is being installed and the employees being trained. It takes time and money and so they keep it going the old way for as long as possible. Another problem is at the time, electronics manufacturing was moving to low cost countries aided by the traitors who were in charge at the time. Why invest in millions of Dollars of new equipment for a dying industry?

[@MrDymium]

Early PCBs were really bad. They were not suitable for the hot vacuum tube electronics of the era, since the phenolic base would burn and warp under high temperature. This is why many manufacturers like Zenith promoted point-to-point wiring as a feature for reliability

[@alanpecherer5705]

When I was a kid in high school, circa 1970 we went on a field trip to the RCA tube factory in Harrison, NJ. The factory consisted of buildings that were bought from Thomas Edison, probably built 1890. The floors were raw 3 x 12 planks laid across the main beams, with considerable gaps in between. I mean, this was RCA, 1970, possibly the most advanced electronics company in the world outside of military, and that place was quite simply primitive. Of course I was fascinated by the tube making machines, those were insanely cool.

[@tarstarkusz]

@@alanpecherer5705 Well, you really don't need advanced facilities for making tubes. The writing had been on the wall for tubes in 1970 for at least a decade.

I'm trying my best watching all of your videos til the end and thumbsing everything up. My father used to do this kind of thing back in the day and had all of the tester's and equipment setup in the basement and did many service calls in a van before I was born making sure the "ol' lady" can watch her program at 7pm. He started work at General Motors willow run michigan assembly and started on the line and when he started to slow down would flash the program of the new fuel injection system into the onboard computer, run a test, get a printout and then shove the slip into the glove box. I never understood what he really did until I seen your channel. It was quite a thing to watch a service tech show up at your door, open the back of the tv, read the schematic, and solder in something that fixes the tv so the family could watch quality programming together. Thank you for at least teaching me what my father went through back when he serviced tv's, stereo's, juke boxes, and anything else you plugged into the wall.

Years back When I was in the business we used to rejuvenate the b&w tubes with the 7 pin larger neck by setting the 467 to rejuvenate, letting the heater heat up for 30 seconds and just hitting the rejuvenate button quickly once or twice and had very good luck. Did lots of high usage security monitors that way and never had to replace a crt. The tubes with the smaller 7 pin neck, not such good luck. Thanks for the vids!

Unless the cabinet has been restored, it would appear to be from that rarest of places in the '60s, namely a smoke-free home. This highlights my scepticism of trusting the results from CRT and tube testers. If that CRT had arrived out-of-set as it were, the test result would have had you knock the neck off and put it in the trash. Yet, although weak it is useable (and the supply of 19ins B/W CRTs is heading in only one direction). A CRT or tube can only be truly evaluated when it is in the circuit in which is being asked to perform. As always, thanks for the videos

Definitely entertainment value from putting back the old 1B3 with the arcing/plasma through the gas! If I had this set, I would restore it, the CRT is producing a good enough picture to be worth it to me!

[@FrozenExplosion]

Lovely set.

[@markpirateuk]

Never believe a CRT tester, I have several including the same B&K, which always reads low on quite watchable picture bulbs, The best test is in the set itself. I agree that the rejuve function does not last, but the clean & balance function does, probably because it is more gentle & does not burn off what is left of the cathode.

[@SoundsLegit71]

I have metal cone crt that the filament burnt a hole through the cathode and tests zero on the same B n K tester still makes a picture. Not a very good one though.

[@directcurrent5751]

I think the holistic operation of the CRT depends on the HV. That giant potential literally sucks out an electronic flow. Note that early CRT experiments did not use filaments. Cold cathode acted upon by provocative anode voltage.

[@rustymotor]

That set certainly looked pristine at first then it revealed its true hours. Would be interesting to set up that HV rectifier tube in a test rig and run it to destruction, love the discharge colors inside the envelope. Thanks for your excellent videos!

I was watching an old Match Game rerun the other day and they edited out Charles Nelson Riley's response to one of the phrases. I only noticed because the score lights had incremented an extra match. I can only assume he said something that is now considered offensive. I also watched a rerun of Jackass and they put a disclaimer before the show stating "this show may contain content that is reflective of a time period where value systems were different. Those with sensitivities may wish to view alternate content." Or something to that affect. Like seriously what is going on? It's like they're trying to erase everything that happened before 2010.

[@jassenjj]

At 20:30 the old HV rectifier definitely does some spark show and it's audible. This set looks amazing. I would really love if you make it work even if a new CRT is necessary. All tube set, great MCM look, clean. Don't give up on it, it's a beauty.
