RCA CTC16 Resurrection Round Tube Vintage Television Pt2 Flyback

Flyback substitution and high voltage • RCA CTC16 Remote Set R...

[@danmiller6890]

The knowledge this gentleman has on these old sets is astounding. Always a privilege to watch him work. Much respect sir.

[@K1ZEK]

Enjoyed every word ! Your style is what makes you so popular. Looking to part 3.

[@orange70383]

Your willingness to take on a worst case scenario resurrection is not only very entertaining but educational as well, it's like a TV adventure show. No wonder Mr. Carlson gives your channel a big thumbs up.

[@AiOinc1]

The best videos on KZbin are a snarky guy resurrecting abandoned electronics. Fire optional. I like that you explain your thought process throughout the resurrection too, what you're looking for and how you came to the conclusion that a specific part was bad. This is what I strive to do with my cars and my computers, and I really enjoy watching others do it.

[@davidraezer5937]

I’m still amazed that a chassis that looks like that can be resurrected! I like your humor. Keep on talking as much as you like!

[@jdmccorful]

You working on it without a mask is awesome.

[@Inflec]

Shango, you hit the nail on the head about internal degaussing not being as good as the manual degausser. There's no substitute for the hula hoop.

[@agems56]

I used to go to a television repair shop, and came across a degaussing loop, and thought I would try if I noticed anything by wearing it around my head while it was plugged in! Nothing happened of course, but years later when it came out that people were paranoid about high voltage lines in their neighborhoods causing electromagnetic radiation possibly causing cancer and cell damage, I thought how ridiculous! I don't think this was ever proven!

[@rdg2124]

Answering your question: Yes, the same Lionel that made (makes) toy trains. They had a rather large plant in Hillside, NJ that dated from the early part of the 20th century. By the time this set was made, Lionel was on hard times due to the influx of model race car sets and space-age toys. People moved away from toy trains, so to keep the place going, they took in contract work, this probably being some of that. Interesting note, AC Gilbert, the company that made Erector Sets and American Flyer toy trains, was at one time the largest manufacturer of electrical motors in the USA. They made motors for many appliances and also made motors for aircraft during WWII. Again, in 1966, when this set was made, AC Gilbert was shutting down for the same reasons Lionel was struggling. Perhaps that's how Lionel picked up the work? Great video, a pleasure to watch. I learn something with every video you make.

[@scottcol23]

I looked it up and In 1929, Lionel opened a factory in Hillside, New Jersey where it produced trains until 1974.

This is just great. I used to repair televisions in the 90s-00s as a trade and love seeing the older style repairs like these. Great job!

Shango's voice could be a stand in for the late comedian Paul Lynde.

[@frankpitochelli6786]

Shango...you are well schooled on these era's TVs, when I first started in 1978, I worked on many of these type of tube chassis's, RCA and Zenith owned the market, Philco, Sylvania, and Quasar were prominent as well. troubleshooting down to component level... alignments on I.F circuits and mechanical repairs on the tuners. Well done sir..!!

[@larrybruce4856]

Years ago, RCA was thought to be a reliable great product. I had several RCA "roundie" color TV sets. They all eventually had the same issue. Power issues were common both with the 21' roundie and 23" rectangular screens.The screen loses brightness and shrinks. Finally purchased another brand, Curtis Mathes combo TV-stereo-Am/Fm in beautiful 6' scandinavia cabinet. That was the best color TV I have ever owned. Had an 8 year picture tube warranty. Never had any problems.

[@Klutech]

Haha lovin’ the flames of fury intro. I can tell this resurrection’s gonna be a trip!

[@tiporari]

That internal degaussing helps maintain, but one that's truly dickered needs a bit more oomph and movement of the magnetic fields. Nice progress :) loving every minute of it.

[@scharkalvin]

Lionel also made transformers that were used in many WWII era military radios. Well you might as well use the correct flyback. Good to know the rectangular flyback could work in a roundie.

[@agems56]

When you demonstrated carbon tracking, it reminded of my uncle, who was a television repairman, telling me how the dishonest repairman would take a pencil and draw a line at some high voltage areas to cause eventual arcing, after a period of time, enough to cause static and interference on the screen so that they would be called back for that inflicted problem, and then just clean the carbon track away, and call it repaired to make the extra money!

[@doogie812]

Never get tired of hearing you talk. Especially when you start to turbotwinkulate. Back in the day I was putting CTC 11 Flybacks in CTC 16s. I wish I would have kept some of those flybacks.

I’ve learned a lot from this resurrection video. It seems like quite an adventure, and I can’t wait for the next installment! It is kinda sad that it’s gonna go right in the trash after it’s done, after all the effort you’ve put into it and will be putting into it in the future, but I suppose when it’s done, it would have served its last purpose of educating us on the operation of this era of vintage television.

[@ATOMSHAMRADIO]

Lol man I heard infowars in the background one second you do great work we are a dieing breed not to many REPAIRs👍

[@charlesdarby9142]

May I make a suggestion on cleaning up the boards is desolder them from the chassis stakes and clean them sepreatly off your chassis in an old good dishwasher it's NOT high pressure like your gasoline engine washer gets it really clean Desolder the peaking and other coils beforehand you do it in a regular dishwasher

I'm just watching and watching and watching and watching. Last time I touched or worked on one of these I was 16 years in high school (1985). I'm in my 50's now. Still watching not cheating and looking ahead. You are still fighting with the "basic purity" and switched flybacks. My guess at this point is maybe you didn't degauss the shadow mask :) LOL. Ok continuing to watch now. I will be totally geeked if by chance I'm right. This is awesome entertainment. and 50K+ views seems to suggest I'm not the only one who likes it.
