Hi Shango066, I sure enjoy your videos on the restoring of old TV sets. I use to work at a TV repair shop in the late 1970s. The place was Grand TV in Duluth MN & they went out of business in the 1990s. I my self had a TV VCR shop in the late 1980s up till the year 2002. I find it cool & incredible your able to fix up very old B&W TVs for folks out there in CA. Up here in MN most every one has moved to the new HD TVs & lots of older normal working TV sets People have quit using & lots old Picture Tube TVs go to the dump or to recycling places. I am retired now & My Hobby over the past years has been restoring old Ampro reel to reel Tape recorders. The Ampro 758 I had when I was only 12 years old & the Ampro 758 & 757 were made in 1955 & 1956. Back in 1973 I was fixing it all the time. I all ways wanted to find another Ampro 758 over the 1980s & 1990s & never could find one. In 2007 I found one on ebay & I fiixed it up & restored it. Then after that I found more Ampro 758s & the Ampro 757 & I was buying them on ebay & fixing them up & I now got 10 of them & they all work very good. I all so fix & repair small Portable 5" reel to reel players to & some Sony Stereo reel to reel recorders. I fixed & restored them by new Tubes & Belts & adjusting them & replacing Audio Heads if needed. I love all kind of older Music & enjoy recording off them old Ampro units when I get some new old 45s & 78s or 33 LP Records. Your Videos are incredible & since Christmas time I enjoyed lots of your old TV restoring on KZbin. Happy new year out there I sure wish you were closer. We have a lot in common in the Electronics world. take care. Jerry.

Shango, friend, i was TV CRT technician por many year here in Brazil, worked on 12 TV repair shops in BR and one there in the United States, and also teach some tips of electronics in my channel on KZbin, in Portuguese, of course, but one thing i learned on KZbin: The KZbin not transform you to TV or any electronics technician from zero. Only help you to improve your knowledge about this area, but only for who is professional or student. However if you want to become a great professional in this area, study good books and courses (i also sell courses) in English, Portuguese, Spanish, whatever in your language. And practice in the counter of some repair shop or in your own home if you can. Just this way you going to be a great professional and that tips in You tube channels like this will help you alot. Thanks for the videos Shango, keep going you channel is awsome.

This video has given me some hope. I picked up a boat anchor DuMont 304A Oscilligraph scope at a yard sale for pretty cheap. Got it home and discovered it had been about 8 inches deep in water, there was silt all over everything inside. But being afraid to power it up because of crud in the transformer made me set the restoration project aside. But seeing this old girl come to life has sparked some hope in me that it's a viable restore.

Hi. I stumbled across this channel and have enjoyed watching you repair tv's. My dad fixed the old vacum tube type tv's when I was growing up. I even learned picture tube changing,adjusting color bias, purity, and convergence. this brings back memories. Would you be interested in the remnants of my father's collection? He passed away many years ago and have several tv's from the 1940's and 50's and many vacum tv tubes. I even have a round picture tube admiral chassis with everything. If you can let me know by comment or some other means that would be good.
