Philco 48 1001 Resurrected Vintage TV In Poor Condition Pt2

[@chaoskaiser72]

Best resurrection I've seen yet; can't imagine anyone else putting in the effort to do all this for a rotten old thing, but for historical, educational, and enterainment value it was incredibly worthwhile.

[@sobolanul96]

I swear, shango could resurrect a defunct nuclear missile silo from the 60's in a day or two while filming with one hand.

[@twright789]

I agree; he is amazing to get a picture. I had a Philco 49-1240 rebuild. The tuner was like this one. Dead. Contacts yes. But the oscillator plate blocking coil was failing frequency test when I rang it. So I used the mixer filament blocking coil which rang & worked well in its place. The local oscillator started running; the Philco would accept an antenna signal. These tuner are very rare just like the chassis. But tuners are a black box to many. I get why he stopped. Most people understand a DC battery and a light but AC is next level stuff. He clearly knows more. But it isn't a television yet.

[@richardwoolnough4081]

10/10 Dan,I did not think you would get any joy out of that, looking at the condition it was in.

[@Suddenlyits1960]

Shango,it’s honestly incredible see you get a set this old and dilapidated to produce a picture again,and a decent one at that! Watching your videos over the years,I’ve been amazed at some of the challenges you’ve taken on and have pretty much always been able to get them to work. It just proves that nearly anything can be repaired if you’re determined and skilled enough. What’s next?

[@caseyhill3915]

If Shango ever gets tired of fixing things, I would so watch him watching TV programs and just making his signature commentary. Those of you who have seen the old TV show mystery science theater 3000 know what I mean.

He tried to kill me with a forklift! Huzzah!

[@johnbigbooty]

Spot on Casey!

[@fostercathead]

Actually, that's the main reason I watch. The highest form of comedy!

[@hestheMaster]

I firmly believe Shango can fix anything now. This ancient TV was a goner until he resurrected it. No magic smoke to me means a complete success! Totally incredible job.

[@EmsXGuitar]

I have no idea what's going on here, but when the picture appears on the screen I am amazed.

[@donk2c]

Amazing you managed to get a picture on that. Absolutely impressive

[@dahlia695]

All these shows you have on remind me why I got rid of my TV 25 years ago.

[@1marcelfilms]

The tv is only there to keep the living room looking normal. I can count on 1 hand how many times it has been watched this year.

[@Sentinel-1]

After successfully resurrecting a TV set in such mint condition, you deserved a doctor degree: Dr. Frankenstein to be precise. Jokes aside, it was really great, my truly respect for you, sir. 👍🏻

[@RingingResonance]

Always an honer watching these kinds of videos. Amazing that you got it working in such bad condition! A true flex of you skills that is sometimes necessary to bring in customers, or just fun to brag about later!

[@hpmmqh4477]

Thank you Shango066! I had water stuck in my waterproof smartphone's monospeaker but after 00:45:00 minutes of airplanes, ambulances and static buzzing, you've managed to restore full volume from my phone. Very nice!

[@wigwagstudios2474]

If it happens again, download a frequency generator/oscillator and play low - mid sine frequencies at a full volume until it sounds good. Works for me and is also a feature on Apple Watches

[@fostercathead]

Honestly guys, it's worth watching part one just to see shango clean the tuner. The highest form of torque-o-quirkulation!

[@dh-_1011]

I’ll bet when they built this tv in 1948, they would’ve never imagine the absolute crap that would be on it 70-ish years later. Sheesh.

[@Suddenlyits1960]

That’s for damn sure!

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

@@Suddenlyits1960 but apparently according to some people, they think it was more than a certain set that ended them...

[@U2WB]

It's hard to believe that in 1948 they would believe this wiring would not go up in flames within a month ! LOL

[@TheRetroGamingPrincess]

You know if you seal the aesthetic and go for a more post apocalyptic setup this would fit the theme perfectly.

[@Mrshoujo]

You used that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

[@phatmanxxxl]

It has that Fallout look to it.

[@AGrievousBtch]

Had someone do with a radio of mine. It was totally grungy and rusted. Obviously been in water at some point. They kept the look but made it functional. It’s cool.

[@minty_Joe]

Fit the whole chassis into a new art deco bakelite or wood case and put a picture of big brother watching you on the screen.

[@NoPegs]

2022 Los Angeles isn't post-apocalyptic enough for you???

[@johnsheridan1129]

Shango, I'm convinced there's no TV or radio you can't repair. This 75-year-old junk TV is a monument to your knowledge and expertise.

[@volvo09]

Nice resurrection... Surprised the IF was even working at the end. Can't wait for the next resurrection. Thanks for the education in these.

[@Idelia412]

I am amazed how you can fix TV's in such poor condition. You have great videos!

[@Synthematix]

You're amazing man seriously, getting a heap of junk like this working is nuts.

[@frankowalker4662]

The Black Beauty caps are filled with oil before being sealed using the leg that's soldered into the hole. Realy surprised at the picture quality, and the fact the IF stages work. Great resurection.

[@BobWiersema]

I can confirm this. Because I'm old enough to have unsoldered those before the oil dried up.

[@frankowalker4662]

@@BobWiersema It makes a hell of a mess when that happens. I've done it too. LOL.

[@s8wc3]

Refillable capacitors eh?

[@mrnmrn1]

Interesting, so they encapsulated it with a dry paper roll, than fill it up with oil? I would expect the paper roll to expand after wetting it with oil, but since it's encapsulated in hard resin, it can't. I wonder if this might be one of the issues with these capacitors, and one possible reason for them cracking.

[@frankowalker4662]

@@mrnmrn1 Yes, It's definately a factor, also the materials inside can start to break down, and with too much current going through them the oil can start to overheat and boil.

[@joeycronan2652]

Thank you Mr. Shango it doesn't get any better than this.... Summertime, Saturday, and a Shango video to complete my weekend!

[@robertjohnson8551]

The commentary is worth the admission love it . Thanks for these videos not only fun but educational.

[@williammorse8330]

always a pleasure watching your videos, Shango.... and your audience has been growing...years ago, I stopped watching regular commercial television and now can see what I've been missing....... "I want to get my shine back... "

[@kylefafnis]

Excellent work sir! Thank you for showing that BK 1077B. That's really really cool.

[@mariodistefano2973]

Personally I would never spend a dime or enen a minute for this "resurrection", but I've already spent a couple of hours to see your video, which is nothing less than a superb example of knowledge and experience. Thanks 4 sharing!

[@callenmeyers]

The sharpness of the picture on this set is truly astounding, great resurrection !

[@davepike6170]

Sure makes quite a nice and clear picture, with plenty of contrast! Amazing resurrection, Shango066!

[@Reminisciences]

Your videos make me sad that there's nothing to really watch on regular TV, I'd rather watch you repair them

[@CLUBNEON-m6i]

This set and the 1955 TravLer were by far the most challenging ones. I don't think anybody would fix those up and get them to produce a picture this good! I think you should save the crt since it's in good shape and they're kinda rare.

[@johnhpalmer6098]

If memory is correct, he had another major challenge with a late 50's RCA table top TV in a metal cabinet that he found at an old mining town that was abandoned in the mid 70's. It was either a 21" or a 24" B&W that had been sitting I think face down in the bedroom of a house who's roof had all but caved in and had let the elements rain in over the past nearly 50 years and many of the pots were totally rusted/frozen and he got it running, strictly to resurrect. That same place, same time, he found several other sets and a few things from the dump, including a GE clock radio that he got working (the radio part) after the case has been partially smashed, speaker disintegrated etc and left to the hot desert elements and totally baked badly, but he got it going, for a short time if I recall. A testament to his skill set.

[@andrasszabo7386]

You are an absolute genius :) Wish we had a repairman just like you back in the CRT era :)

[@BigDaddy_MRI]

David Tipton says hello!! His channel deals with vacuum valved (tube) radios. His last video he fixed a little transistor radio. During testing he used a good cap across a suspected bad cap. He said, “I’m channeling Shango here…”. I laughed my ass off. So, a nice nod at you, and he definitely watches your channel. Cheers, mate!!

[@bigmotter001]

I also laughed at David about the same moment. David Tipton is really the best restorer on the web. He explains everything in detail and has a great personality. These two are the best for entertainment and educational purposes in radio and TV content! Thanks for posting another winner and take care!

[@vintageradios7790]

If anybody could resurrect a vintage piece of electronic equipment Shango can do it. This is the best Resurrection video I have seen thus far I hope that everybody that watches these videos has the time and patience and learns from what I would call the best.

[@herbertsusmann986]

With a little Restore-A-Finish this could be a living room daily driver. Replace a few more caps and we're good for the next 20 years of QVC TV goodness!

[@davidarnette327]

You should put a book out, the smells of electric components going bad.....This resurrection ranks right there with the mouse nest resurrection. Keep up the good work 👍

[@jimw7ry]

Yes, I did hang in here this long! Pretty cool! Thanks!

Never thought this set in that state was going to show a picture ever again. Hats off to your tenacity and perseverance!

[@johnnyrobertson5971]

You are just unbelievable how you can bring life to a Frankenstein TV set.

[@Daniel_cheems]

This has got to be your best resurrection to date, even better than the desert baked set you resurrected a while back.

[@bitrot42]

I always enjoy seeing you bring one of these sad cases back from stone dead to functioning picture and sound. It's like a detective mystery, and I learn a lot about analog and tube circuits in the process. May that chassis go to its final resting place, and may the CRT find its way into a better-condition set that needs one.

[@darrelfrank8252]

Really like the channel thank you for the videos it's mind-blowing to see a set this old playing again

You’re working on this TV 📺 again. Sounds like 👍 ya could restore the wooden 🪵 case with Varathane. I remember the video about the Patterson All Wave 👋 radio 📻 from 1934 a few years ago. It was termite riddled, and ya fixed it all 🆙 with Varathane and screws. This I know ya will resurrect just fine. Your friend, Jeff.
