The Fine Art of Television Repair

[@Arturo-sm1tb]

What a nice, talented man. We need so many more of these craftsmen. He is a treasure. Reminds me of my dad, who did his work off-hours in our basement. He could fix anything electronic from the 1940s to the day he passed away 11 years ago.

[@donotneed2250]

In 1984 I earned my diploma in this. Not only was I taught solid state sets, we were taught tube sets. If you think you like listening to CDs you should hear the same music on vinyl or reel to reel coming through a tube amplifier. Talk about a warm rich sound. I also still have my tools.

[@hyesuwu]

The work he's done has been amazing, thru the decades. Watching these kinda films makes me feel happy

[@captop12]

A nice short film about a true innovator, disciplined technician, and artist.

[@MeccaCali]

Aww, god bless his soul. He seems to be so passionate about his job. I wish I have a job where I can be happy and smiling doing what I love like how he does.

[@potato-vt4xh]

I have learnt more about the world from this channel then school, love the quality and effort put into these videos!

[@zenagitana]

My grandfather has been a TV repairman for the past 50+ years in Puerto Rico.

[@fridaynighthikes]

You are in a league of your own. A true master of electronics. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ninja011]

Often in progress, much of what we came from and the means of the journey is left behind. Some this is all for the better, others, for the worse. Love it or hate it, Television is sadly increasingly one of those goods left behind. Sure the modern units are nice and all, but there are some works of art and entertainment key to our journey's history, that the modern machines do a disservice to. That for these things we need to take a step back, to take many more forward. My hat is off to Mr. Chi-Tien Lui for his work in this corner of keeping the history we should never forget, a living history.

[@SilentReflection101]

Content like this is exactly why I'm subscribed to this channel. Fascinating stuff.

[@beboguerra]

I hope I like my job as much as he does one day. Good for him.

[@hamachiplayer]

This man is truly living the American dream.

[@dannoahpodcast6364]

This is a wonderful story that I would have never heard if not for this amazing channel.

[@DUBSkyLinEx3]

All videos of this channel are so inspiring!

[@FROZYO]

Post stuff like this more often! These kinds of videos are the reason I subbed!

[@kelionpro9612]

This was an interesting look at how TV has evolved

[@billyjoeidel2]

KeLion Pro not really what this video was about...

[@My_You_Tube]

Thank you Chi-Tien Lui....you are extraordinary !!

[@GotThis4U]

That's a living legend right there.

[@sparxx1308]

Thank you for these wonderful videos!

[@jaydeniemuth9366]

That's something at the age of 20 I've been doing as well. I love repairing vintage electronics TV's, game systems, stereo's. But i fear that won't be anything more then a personal hobby and that the work isn't gonna be there in a 10-20 years.

[@joosunkmybattleship]

He literally turned his profession into art

[@kathy8822]

This dude is a master

[@daschefer]

How much experience and knowledge in his hands that time will take forever.

[@argreenboo]

I would love the soundtracks that go with these videos they are very wonderful to listen to.

[@Mr.Knallfrosch]

I hope he has someone who learns from him, who then knows how to do all this.

[@KungFuMojo]

Took the words out of my mouth.

[@trackfivve]

he has an apprentice! :)

[@ayeshad5170]

I love it videos, they are always very informative and diverse, you guys are awesome thank you 😊

[@neoadviser8056]

I'm not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to repair electronics devices try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.

[@jamesluck2969]

I'm 17 and one of my favorite hobbies is to fix radios 1970 and below.

[@smooooth_]

James Luck you'll be a good technician or engineer one day then

[@user2144]

James Luck Just don't try to fix them in the bathtub and you'll be fine. 😉

[@danielpincu6030]

Maybe you will be... lucky ...and get to meet Mr. Lui.

[@sleora]

Personnaly, I don't realy know how to repair, but I love collecting old stuff. My lastest aquisition is an "Audiologic TV - FM/GO Radio".

[@Alex-je6od]

It's scary how quickly CRT maintenance is becoming a lost art. Only a decade or two ago everyone was staring at tubes... now it's *rare* to see one. There are a few old-school CRT repair and restoration shops around, but it really is rapidly becoming a lost art form. Here is one museum trying to save the last few CRT rebuild machines + skills: earlytelevision.org/first_museum_crt_rebuild.html

[@stevelawson7595]

Such amazing human stories! I love it!

[@chevychelios4672]

Living Legend!

[@soypeanutbutter]

SO EXTRAORDINARY MR. LUI.

[@koendeboer4272]

[@thisguylovebananas]

It's awesome when you get a job that fun for you.

[@vanidar21]

he's a hero!

[@StaticJuice_]

Anyone else really like that sound that plays when the credits come up?

[@onlineidentity6826]

To wake up, do what rocks your world all day and then go to bed afterwards knowing you get to do it all again the next morning is a beautiful way to live.

[@오세륜]

wow lui is sooo smart...such an inspiration!!😉😬

[@halfmoon9593]

Finally something like the old days coincidentally right after I commented about the recent videos

[@TimTams_64]

What do you mean like olden days?, they haven't changed their format at all lol.

[@shamilarifeen380]

Tim Tam's No actually some of their videos are directed as if CNN's threatening them to be biased or something. If you observe closely...

[@halfmoon9593]
