This is a beautiful console. I have an Rca with similar legs. It doesn't surprise me that his parents kept the set in service all those years. Consoles like that were a substantial investment and people repaired things back then rather than throwing them out. Many people were still watching color sets made in the 60's in the 1980's. The son is lucky the crt is a newer replacement and tests like new. He should get many many years of enjoyment out of the set.

[@johnnytacokleinschmidt515]

I've seen Zenith sets like that. Very beautiful Danish modern styling.

[@hotpuppy1]

Looks like much potential for restoration. Ten times in for service means they REALLY loved this TV. Average person would have junked it long before, though TV's WERE very expensive and you had to keep them going as long as possible.

This is the best review I've ever seen. Of anything on youtube. You actually use the device in real life scenarios and see if it holds up to your workstandards and routines. 99 percent of reviewers out there basically unbox a thing and praise it to high heaven without showing us a thing other than a lot of talk and the bog-standard everyone does an unboxing, whoptie dee, but you nailed it.

The cabinet is the most valuable part of this set. It's a piece of sleek 1960s retrograde furniture in its own right.

To have the TV that my parents had in our living room in the 1970s that I used to watch cartoons on would be a dream! Unfortunately it's long gone. I'm not even sure what it was. I've looked at a few pictures and tried to figure it out but still can't. You're doing that guy. Great service!

That’s going to be a really nice working console, can’t wait for part 2. BTW, the spindle in the Garrard record changer is in backwards, that’s why the record didn’t drop. I can’t believe how much of everything is still functional, obviously very well maintained all throughout its life.

[@skfalpink123]

How I miss the days when electrical items like a TV or a radio would just catch fire for no obvious reason! The fun of being somewhere, wondering if you'd left a radio on, and then having to race home (while praying you would still have a home), only to discover you had in fact turned it off. Good times!

[@vcv6560]

25"TV with stereo FM/AM and phono changer! Wow, that had to be $750-900 at the time. WIth such a nice cabinet no wonder he wants it restored. BTW I too was one of those kids in front of a Zenith 25MC36, my grandparents set, also from 1966. Gigantor in B&W, Kimba the White Lion in color and Bozo the Clown in-between😆

[@robertgoodale7204]

My grandparents had this model. Eventually they gave it to my parents. At some point mid 1970s my parents replaced it with a new Sylvania. This one was looked upon as having no value back in the day. I'm not kidding, before he dumped it he took the nifty legs off. He actually bought a slab of granite and made a coffee table out of it.

[@waltschannel7465]

That Packard Bell thing is something else! Digging the mid century atomic style cabinet. I like counterbalance square corners. Love that FINIRSI scopesignalgenmeter thingy also. I have their DSOTC3 unit which is a combo 500K scope, sig gen sins square triangle and component tested ESR etc LOL. I like that one too. The problem is it can't be used as a siggen and a scope Simultaneously. Great video!!!

A great Sunday Morning watching Shango nice interesting issues which would be great to see what the cause was but rare to see a picture tube so strong. Kept the service teams in business as it needed lots of service. waiting for video 2 thanks Mike

I'm officially a Shangoholic ..can't wait to see this one fire up ..I had a table that could have matched that tv very interesting piece

[@bigcatauna]

The mystery reflection at 13:33 of you leaves just enough mystique to keep us wondering who the real Shango is

[@2packs4sure]

When I was a kid in the mid sixties we had a Montgomery Ward Airline black & white 19 inch TV that had that same group of 4 knobs on it with that tiny power switch and when that set finally died it was on its third power switch, very delicate and failure prone...

[@teacfan1080]

Yes, this set has a lot of potential.

[@chetpomeroy1399]

If Shango gets the bugs out of the AGC/IF circuit, I'll bet this set will produce a nice picture! One thing I've noticed on the color sets from the 1950's-60's is that the color they produce will knock your socks off if they're working right. I suspect the engineers who designed these sets at that time intentionally did this.

[@vcv6560]

I think Plasma of 15 yr ago came closest, but they too are gone now.

[@hiredgun7186]

I have one of these little Fnisri all in ones in my tool bag, have had it for a couple years now and its pulled my ass out of the fire a few times on job site troubleshooting, found a myriad of controller problems with it, I have one of their ESR meters too , not bad at all for the price

the turntable spindle being installed backwards.....that brought back nightmares of being 10 years old and accidentally pulling out the spindle in my grandparents RCA combo.....along with 5 or 6 45s and the fullmheight apadtor thing....then it not working when i jammed it back in.....was a terrifying 10 minutes before i figured out it was possible to fit it 180^ out....

[@quantumleap359]

There are three controls on old TV sets I don't miss at all - fine tuning, vertical hold and horizontal hold. This old set looks promising but it certainly needs some love.

[@frankowalker4662]

I bought a FNIRSI 2 chan scope about 4 or 5 years ago. The instructions have the right model number on the cover, but talk about installing apps, changing the wallpaper and making emergency calls. I think something went wrong at the instructions printers. LOL.

[@cool69rr]

Might need a 10 part series to restore that one.

[@mrpontiac83]

Nice video. With the CRT so strong I'm sure the customer will be thrilled with the results. I'm going to have to try out that scope... The recording mode with the DMM function looks super useful. I just hope it lasts given it's source...

[@coyote_den]

Pure Chinesium, but it's only $100 for all those features, and FNIRSI is far from the worst when it comes to that grade of gear. I don't have a scope, or a real need for one, but I'm very tempted.

[@Suddenlyits1960]

This specific model of Garrard changer (I believe its a 3000 series).seems to be one of the few Garrard ive always run across where the oil/grease doesnt seem to turn to glue. At least on the ones ive run into. KLH used these in their portables,as did Sylvanias exponent series and others. I replaced a cartridge on a packard Bell console that had this same changer but the changer still was working flawlessly itself on every unit ive ever run into with this changer. I think shango had one here in an nos portable that wouldnt spin though. Maybe ive just been lucky. Some of these packard bell consoles used a pickering magnetic pickup

[@AIJenkins]

49:55 - What happened here? We have issues! Love the video Shango066 - beautiful set. ❤

[@billharris6886]

That's an interesting color combo Shango066, I have never seen a Packard Bell color set with a Zenith style fold-out chassis, they always resembled the RCA chassis. This set has a lot of hours on it, prepare for some weird problems. It might be easier (since you are doing a restoration anyway) to clean the chassis, controls, tube sockets, and test the tubes. This might save some frustrating troubleshooting down the road. The radio tuner is quite interesting, it is set up for late 1950's stereo simulcasting when they ran one channel on AM and the other channel on FM. However, I noticed they are using a single AM/FM ganged tuning cap so, this tuner obviously doesn't support the AM/FM simulcasting.

[@TechGorilla1987]

@15:23 - I'm always down for a "How Bad Does It Suck" video!

Probably nothing to do with the AGC problem but around 13:55 you can clearly see a loose resistor floating in the bottom vent mesh. I really like this cabinet. Super keep to see the solution to the AGC problem.

[@oldradiotvsc9836]

Interesting. I just had a tough AGC problem on a 1961-62 Tech Master black and white 23" CRT chassis (used in a Leowe-Opta console cabinet stereo combo unit- the radio and phono are German and the TV is American made in Brooklyn, NY), and it turned out that there were difficult to troubleshoot bad high megohm resistors in the keyed AGC circuit (using a 6BU8 tube). The symptom was that the AGC control had no effect, nor did the "noise limiter" control, and the set would start off having no or very low IF/RF gain, then it would slowly creep up but only to a level where a very strong input signal would work with poor sync, and the RF/IF gain would be intermittent.

@Shango066 at about 1 hour and 2 mins, it looks like a light comes on in the speaker grille. Is there something in there or just something weird with the camera? Also do you think cleaning the AGC pot would help, or do you think it maybe an open/shorted cap in the circuit?

[@brigganthewolf1461]

One thing I'd suggest (if your camcorder has manual controls) is to set your camcorders' shutter speed to 1/60s, so this way it will minimize (if not eliminate) the rolling black bars on CRT displays.

[@lauram5905]

I think he uses phones to record, there may be one camcorder somewhere though. But either way it might be buried under a "pro video" mode

[@brigganthewolf1461]

@@lauram5905 Yes, he uses mainly Samsung phones to record nowadays. But I know he has at least two camcorders (one that shoots 4K, and the other that has better low light sensitivity). So if it just so happens he decides to use one of his camcorders for his TV videos (since smartphones don't really give you much manual exposure control while recording video, or perhaps I'm not up to date on this stuff), he can take advantage of the shutter priority mode and adjust the shutter speed of his camcorder, to sync with whatever subject he's trying to record (CRT flicker, arcing, etc.)
