chemtrails do technically exist as some aircraft _still_ use leaded gasoline.

Yeah, like 80% Nitrogen, gotta get someone to fix that!

[@MrPatdeeee]

Wow! What a tearful nostalgia that is! For I was a TV technician; for RCA Service Company for 33+ yrs; before GE bought it in 1988. I didn't want to stay; because GE TV's were no where what I was used to. So I quit. And later retired in 1996. Yes, I have fixed a number of those first portable RCA TV's. Wow, I haven't thought about them for a very long time. And I sit here watching one. Wow. I will be 90 yrs old on April 5th and I was hired by RCA in 1953; and I loved it every day. I will take it to my death. Praise Jesus. Thanks kind Sir; for putting that TV on KZbin.

In Poland we call CRT of a TV or monitor a Kineskop. Don't change it.

[@UHF43]

In Spain it was also common the word "cinescopio", probably a loan from Italian.

[@MrHBSoftware]

@@UHF43 same in Portugal, cinescopio. Cine comes from cinema wich i think means miving pictures and scopio means a device to see things for example microscopio to see small micro things

[@xsc1000]

In Czech we call it "obrazovka". This is more close to picture bulb :-)

Hmm, and in the English, a kinescope is a recording of a live TV broadcast taken from the TV set. Probably same root word/words

I used to work at the old factory building that produced a TV under the name Raytheon power tube under the name Dumont. Back in 1957 the BW TV small portable size costs $250.00 in the US and that equivalent to 3K today. When Hawaii became the US 49th state in 1959, my mother shipped the TV made in USA that called "portable unit" it was 15" Sylvania and she paid closed to $150.00 for the whole paycheck at Navy hospital nurse.

With some luck things will be looking up in December...

[@solidstate90]

I made a post in the TV section of antique radios forum a few years back, asking for info on a Zenith that was my grandparents. Cant tell you how many stern sounding responses I got, demanding that I was not to turn it on until I had recapped everything. I told them I had already turned it on w/ a dim bulb and it was running great w/ no issue...wow the comments I got...it was like I had killed the damn pope. It was pretty funny how worked up they all got..

[@MrPlytiger]

A capacitor and resistor in series is a snubber circuit, they are used to dampen voltage spikes when switching on and off inductive loads, that blue component must be a all in one solution instead of having to add two separate components.

[@TheTreegodfather]

Exactly correct. We use those all the time in industrial automation across relay coils.

[@marcseclecticstuff9497]

@@TheTreegodfather Yes, if the control voltage is AC, a reversed polarity diode across the coil if it's fed by DC. Snubber networks are also used between contacts on the output side of the contactor for inductive loads (typ. motors) for the same reason.

[@theelmonk]

Would like to know if replacing it with the proper capacitor would improve the video quality

[@volvo09]

Nice resurrection. Cool to see that little set play again. Nice find with the cap value too... It's like someone shooting the parts cannon at a malfunctioning car without diagnosing the cause. Unintentionally adding an issue, or an issue on top of an issue that just leads to them giving up.

[@MarkJohnson-sz3vm]

I had one of these but left it at my parents' home, which was sold after they moved to assisted living. Mine worked, but had an intermittent problem that caused the horizontal hold to lose lock when the set was fully warmed up. This TV was a true marvel of miniaturization for the 1950s as the case was hardly larger than the 9" picture tube, and it used large-format tubes!

[@vintageradios7790]

When the picture tube checked good on the Red TV I cheered like I was at a football game!

[@stevewalters6003]

I have a rather pristine version of this set that I fully recapped years ago. They are not the best performers with no aluminised tube or DC restoration. That said, they do work good in a moderately lit room. They were intended as a personal TV and sold for around a hundred dollars in 1956, 57.

[@miker252]

That sounds like a lot of money in '50s dollars but, I guess, it was cutting edge tech back then.

[@gordonwelcher9598]

I wonder how many were thrown out the window. I wanted to do this with the GE Portacolor I had. I really hated that set.

[@gordonwelcher9598]

@@daleburrell6273 It belonged to my stepfather. He let me use it then he sold it later. It had something like 1mm dot pitch on a 12 inch crt.

[@KameraShy]

They were a novelty item back then, a technological triumph when console sets were massive. Had to trade off performance for size. Would have been used in a kitchen or bedroom where viewing quality was not that important.

[@joelcabrera5257]

I always enjoy watching your videos even though I haven't a clue how these tv sets work. I picked this same set 10 years ago and it still worked in 2018 . Still has the little stand to hold it up. I appreciate your passion to bring them back to life. Happy New Year Shango

I restored a 17" Philco for a customer and it showed on the schematic as 15KV!!. Anyway it was great seeing how you tackle problems maybe I can get that good one day LOL. I been doing it for 35 years.

I look at this "chemtrails" phenomenon (26:53) with jaundiced eye, as I have seen stuff like this in the sky as far back as I can remember, around 1963 or so. These are condensed ice crystals from the exhaust plumes of jet aircraft. Portable, low-budget television sets of the mid-1950's were fairly novel at that time and priced accordingly. It was just as true back then as it is today --- you get what you pay for.

My Ion trap moved and has to fix that and the rings. Luckily my yoke cover is solid and intact. I plan to make an .STL so it can be 3D printed like you've mentioned before. The video your getting on your set is god awfle. Nowhere near what is should look like. Same for the other one yo worked on. Just a really bad picture. They should NOT look like this when absolutely perfect. Its a great little TV. It really is! As good as it gets for it's small size!

Happy New Year Shango. For a “turd-burglar”, as you called it; it’s a pretty cool TV ! Since you have 2 of these sets, I’d like to see you fully restore the set. Between the two, one would think you could make one working set with parts to spare. Hopefully that means you’ll have an extra CRT for it. Your a lucky man. You have citrus trees. We don’t have that in South Dakota ! I miss my Grandma’s Orange trees in Texas.

[@aristocrat_000G]

An ESR meter is a two-terminal electronic measuring instrument designed and used primarily to measure the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of real capacitors; usually without the need to disconnect the capacitor from the circuit it is connected to. Other types of meters used for routine servicing, including normal capacitance meters, cannot be used to measure a capacitor's ESR, although combined meters are available that measure both ESR and out-of-circuit capacitance. A standard (DC) milliohmmeter or multimeter cannot be used to measure ESR, because a steady direct current cannot be passed through the capacitor.
