Philips CP90 chassis vintage TV set

[@kendom33]

Thank you Michael. I don't remember these sets , perhaps after I'd closed the shop. Still a very interesting video

[@peterensinger1770]

Great memories of repairing these sets as you stated they were a nice money spinner with those batteries and posistors when i invoiced the customer i used to put 'memory cell' on the invoice as if i put the word battery on rhe invoice the customer would complain when i charged £25 for the repair. A lot of philips tvs had these batteries in them and were a very common repair and those white 3 legged posistors used to be very common and easy repairs too. Also it seemed like Philips tv were very prone to dry joints.......Those were the days when you could make a reasonable living repairing consumer electronics!!!

[@hymermobiler]

Thanks Michael enjoyed that. Your spares are amazing it seems theres not much you dont have!

[@andic6676]

Those sets, and the CTX-E, we're so reliable!

[@paulsmith3652]

Great memories of that model, exactly as you said,so many backup battery changes and posistors and dry joints all around exactly as you pointer out. That’s when life was what seemed simpler for repairing! Thanks Michael.

Absolutely brilliant sets these were, Philips, tatung and mitsubishi were my 3 favourites

Good old CP90. Great chassis.

[@peterferguson2344]

It's been years but I do recall those wee backup batteries were rechargeable 🤔

[@michaeldranfield7140]

yes , I checked the circuit, its a long time ago for me now too !

[@michaelturner4457]

18:35 Trump is the correct shade of orange. Yes, this is a good TV showing true to life colours.

clean work Michael

Thank you Mr. Michael

[@stopthebus]

Thanks for this. Always good to see vintage TVs being restored and saved. Please do more! Here in NZ in 1983 we were still assembling Philips TVs with wooden cabinets and KT3 chassis. The CP90 chassis wasn't around at that time and I don't recall ever working on one. If they did come, it wouldn't have been until much later on. The earliest portable plastic set like this I can remember was the 'Trendset' with a glass front. Memory isn't great but I think it had the CTO chassis. Have you ever done a video and teardown of your capacitor reformer?

[@monteceitomoocher]

Very sad that Philips are no longer making stuff, that was a great chassis.

[@michaeldranfield7140]

I know , how the mighty have fallen .

[@JonTheComputerDoctor]

In all honesty I don't think I ever worked on one. Great video thank you.

[@michaeldranfield7140]

there was a 21 inch model also in a chipboard cabinet with black covering .

[@Barbarapape]

Another Philips chassis that brings back some memories. I relocated from Carlisle to Chester in 93 and the Television Magazine came out just before i closed my business in Carlisle. These CRT sets can still show todays LED sets how good a standard def picture should look.

[@truthreigns7]

I have not seen a snowy tv in a long time. We have digital ones at our house, so they just go black.

[@michaeldranfield7140]

I still use two analogue sets at home with boxes and the dreaded flat screen in the living room .

[@truthreigns7]

@michaeldranfield7140 we had a 9 inch analog TV but it started messing up so I decided it was time to move to another TV. It was a TV with DVD built into it. I could not find another one.

[@stevesje71]

100% It rechargeable via a current limiting resistor

[@michaeldranfield7140]

yes, I saw that on the diagram in the end .

[@stevesje71]

@@michaeldranfield7140 sorry yes, I jumped the gun and commented before the end 😂 great video as always Mike. 👍🏻

[@steve83803]

Colour and brightness adjustments Michael! Chrominance and Luminance 😀 Who else remembers the equation Y = 0.3R + 0.59G +0.11B

[@paulbrown8467]

Ahh... those orange Philips capacitors

[@pi6706]

It’s strange how Philips didn’t stick to FST with their smaller TVs like this. The sets they produced in the late 90’s into the early 00’s they moved a step back to the traditional curved screens.

[@radiotvrepair1059]

Thanks how i can found like this magazine electronic

[@michaeldranfield7140]

Type in on the net, world radio history television magazine.

[@stevesje71]

You’re lucky as sometimes these batteries leaked and corroded the PCB and can make the set beyond economical repair

[@michaeldranfield7140]

looks like I just caught it in time , cant believe those old stock batteries have not leaked though .

[@truthreigns7]

Will rechargeable battery leak like regular non rechargeable batteries do?

[@michaeldranfield7140]

I would think so , yes, just caught this in time by the look of it .

[@truthreigns7]

@michaeldranfield7140 yes the battery you replaced looked like it could have progressed even worse

[@richardh100]

thanks again Michael great video and repair , was it scem ,? electronics that that had the logo of the two elephants that had the franchise for Philips parts (can not remember the correct name)😮my own backup memory battery has gone

[@steve83803]

It was SEME ( Small Elephant Mammoth Elephant) based in Melton Mowbray. I remember Ian the senior rep who used to call in and take the orders

[@richardh100]
