Detailreiche Aufnahmen, und Inbetriebnahme. Sehr Schön

1:44 What good is the big plug?

[@FloppyDiskWorkshop]

To be honest, I have no idea. I'm not really sure that black round thing is actually usable to connect something. The only things a TV like this needs is power (standard 230V) and signal (the separate 2 pin sockets for UHF and VHF)

[@Giancarlo1991CCCCCCC]

DGJMaas big plug is for the remote control, Does it say where it was made the TV?

[@Giancarlo1991CCCCCCC]

DGJMaas buy one recently, I cost us $ 100 dollars ($ 50.000CLP) is December 1957(5057),not working. greetings from chile!

@@Giancarlo1991CCCCCCC Probably The Netherlands, I think all Philips had all their productions there back then.

Yeah I kidding you! I took couple of beers yesterday so I was a little bit crazy :) I love your sweet little tv mate! Svara

I assume you are being sarcastic, otherwise please disappear from my comment sections. To answer your burning questions: 1) there is a video cut in between the power going off and back on. I had to walk to the RCCB to switch it back on. I restarted the camera in the exact same position 2) power can leak via the antenna if the device to which both connect is faulty, despite the fact that power and antenna by themselves are separated. Hence is why the RCCB (residual-current circuit breaker) had to be turned back on, because I suspect some power current leaked away via the antenna. 3) the camera I used does not have a light. During my second try, in case the power went out again (which it didn't) I used a battery-powered flash light as a backup. Also I deliberately switched off the normal lights in order to better capture the light from the CRT.

How do you connect the antenna ? I can’t understand it .

[@FloppyDiskWorkshop]

The TV shown in this video actually has 2 antenna ports: VHF and UHF. Depending on the band, a differently shaped antenna was needed. Each port on the TV is a simple dual banana plug.

i have many of those.....you need to replace the 0,022 capacitor inside the high voltage cage..its a black tar capacitor and its totally melted on all of those tvs....it will wok fine after that...if you continue powering it up until it fades you will ruin the flyback transformer and then its trash....you can use a 1000v philips mkp or mkpp capacitor...if you need advice feel free to ask me or you can watch my videos on tv repairs

[@FloppyDiskWorkshop]

Thanks for your reaction. To be honest, this TV has not been powered up since I made the video four years ago. I opened the high voltage cage just now, but I cannot distinguish any component that looks melted. The capacity of the capacitor you mentioned (0,022) is this in F or mF? I would be interested in repairing this TV if I can figure out which components need replacing.

@@FloppyDiskWorkshop Hi. i looked up your schematic and its a bit different from my tvs although the cabinet is very identical. on your set the capacitor is c106 and its 27000pf or 27nf . youcan find it underneath the chassis here is a link wich has a parts placement diagram elektrotanya.com/philips_21cx211a_17tx210a-00_06_21tx210a-00.pdf/download.html dont forget to use a 1000v or more MKP or MKPP capacitor because normal film capacitors will die... you can put 3 x 10nf capacitors in parallel if its more convenient for you

[@MrHBSoftware]

hidden next to the power button usually there is a black tar capacitor...replace that also or remove it..if it has not popped it will pop...it is across the mains and acts as a line noise filter so its not important but when it fails it melts and trips the house breaker. you can replace it with those blue X-Y-capacitors..value is not important

[@FloppyDiskWorkshop]

@@MrHBSoftware Thanks for all the info. I'll definately try these things. I have a lot of old hardware, but generally I don't attempt to fix something if I can't visually confirm what the problem is. So I don't have these components lying around, but I can probably find them locally.

[@MrHBSoftware]

@@FloppyDiskWorkshop tvs are very very complicated but changing a capacitor is a simple job, i bet you will put it to work, it deserves ,they are reliable sets.....just do it in a day when you are in the mood for it :) check my video on vintage capacitor testing without special tools...then you can test the cap after removing to check for damage if you like...that cap is always bad on philips tvs of that era

3:44 fail

[@frankaalbers1099]

That's the TV I saw the moon landing on with my parents

[@FloppyDiskWorkshop]

:)

[@willbendingsteel6258]

I could give you a old 100o year viking sword for that tv ;)
