When I repaired a CRT socket, I soldered strands of new wire to the originals to use as leaders / threading aides. That was on a B&W crt, so there were fewer pins to deal with.

glad i scrolled through the comments, I was struggling with a 6sn7 a few years back with a detached base, ended up spiral wrapping some fine gauge copper wire to the original leads to thread back through the base and flowed plenty of solder into them (as shango noted its important to clean up the original wires good, I found scotchbrite and flux works fine. The original cement was mostly marble flour (you can find the rca mixture online) but i found high temp JB weld works just as fine for attaching the base.

As an old,school radio tv repair man (76years old now) what you stated about a tech going into someones home way back then and flipping their TV upside down to service anything in there like that wouldnt have happened. We wouldve had a tube tester and a tube caddy along with screwdrivers and maybe a pair of pliers and if it wasnt a tube they were told it needed to go to the shop for those repairs they wernt done in the home

Way back in the day I fixed lots of these roundies. Still remember doing what you did with the pix socket because folks couldn't afford to replace an otherwise good crt. It was always the focus pin and they were never soldered well at the factory. I'm sure echos of some of my choice language still haunts the halls of the old shop... even though it's now an auto parts store.

I've had to do that as well on a 1950s Viking B&W that I got a year ago or so and it is a pain in the ass. The plastic base was loose and I could not get any reading on the tube even though the filament lit fine. I wanted to make sure that none of the wires to the pins had broken before troubleshooting the lack of HV, so I desoldered the base then had to put it back on. I did get the HV working (not sure how) and the tube does work. It's old and tired, but it works.

We had the 25MC36 (SAMS 805-4), one of my first electronic 'training tools' of my teens. It had been my grandparents living room TV. The '36 had a 25" rectangular CRT. One year, maybe I was 9, ours failed Friday before Thanksgiving and the TV repairman had the set on its side with the bottom removed trying to get it going. It left with him and we borrowed something so football that weekend was seen.

The wire used had to have certain properties. It must match the expansion of the glass, it must wet with the glass and it must not outgas. It should be stable and non reactive as possible too. Tungsten or copper coated tungsten was used and special alloys - a trade name of one Dumet is still used for many glass bonding applications. If you want to see it being done you can watch the nice man in the dress make tubes from scratch. The guy is a genius.

I did years earlier a crt socket refit, similar like you. It was my hungarian made set called Kékes from the mid 60s. If I remember, the crt was polish made, suffered from loose socket and solder joints. I figured out, the puzzle solves much easier when the leads are extended a little, with thin copper wires soldered, and fit the wires remote from the tube. As I see, the socket in your case has enough space for 2 wires soldered, too. As all the wires fitted, it was easy to pull those through. Also applied some 2pack epoxy between the glass and the bakelite to prevent it from wobbling.

The Zenith roundies were the finest quality, IMHO with their hand wired circuits and high quality components. I recently was lucky to acquire a 1964 Zenith chassis 25LC20. CRT is good, did the cataract repair, all the tubes are Zenith branded, and most have 1963 code dates. It actually looks like a low hour set. It is true that these TVs produced a fine color picture- maybe it was Zenith's unique scheme of high level color demodulation, not sure. My set arrived missing the back, so I don't know the model number but that 25LC20 color chassis with it's 26 tubes is a beautiful beast!

Man, does this make me homesick for Saturday mornings at my grandparent's house. After a breakfast of eggs "over easy", home fries, and Maglio Sausage from any ol' "Acme" Market, located all around Philly, Gene London, and the "Cartoon Corners General Store" would be "crankin" on the Zenith 24MC32. That was "round one"..... At the beginning of "round two", Bugs Bunny would be screwing with Elmer and Daffy, and a plate of homemade oatmeal cookies would be delivered by my grandmother. I'm fairly certain that the cookies were a bribe, to get control of the TV set back, so that my she could watch the "Al Alberts Showcase", at 11:00 AM..... ("Showcase", was an hour of kids tap dancing, singing show tunes, and doing magic tricks; envision the Ted Mack Amateur Hour on Quaalude) In 1970, Lancelot Link - Secret Chimp, premiered, and Saturday mornings became GLORIOUS!!!! By 1972, it was decided that children's television, as a whole, would need to become "more educationally driven", and by 1976, Wile E. Coyote, Genius, was teaching calculus to 5 year olds... It was at that very moment that our world forgot that the most important aspect of the meaning of life was "enjoyment". By the year 2020, every prediction by H.G. Wells, George Orwell, and Rod Serling would come to fruition, and the entirety of the United States would be fenced-in, (think "Escape from New York"), with the majority of the nation's populous residing on the "inside" of the fence...

Great video. Since you had a hard time prying those wires through the pins of the CRT socket, I would like to share this tip. Make those wires 'longer' with fine strands of copper wire, about 5" to 10" long. Just solder these strands to each CRT wire. Now you can watch inside the socket, while you can easily feed the wires into the corresponding holes. Once the strands are in, you can pull them through from the other side.

Got to love those old tube type color TVs, when they are working good, they have a nice picture. Zenith built the best back in the day, they lasted for years. I have an old Zenith Trans Oceanic radio, a model Royal 3000 - 1 that still works good, one transistor has been replaced, the rest looks like original parts. From what I have figured out, it was from 1964, it has the 12 volt power jack on the side. The year before did not have the power jack. It looks all beat up looking and the front covers are missing, but it still works.

I was young, just beginning to date young ladies, and I had met this cute little gal, she was sweet as hell, her folks were military, the dad was in Nam and mom and the two girls came to live in our home town while he served. We never got serious, just a bit of petting as young kids do, but they had this color set. I had never seen color TV before and her mom said I could come over and watch Disney's Wonderful World of Color with them one Sunday evening. What a trip man all those colors it was simply AMAZING! A year later I began to date her older sister, now she got damn serious about shit, man it was the year of love and we got deep into that but this is indeed another story.

I have a gun assembly from a Magnavox combo I went to Long Island to pick up. Seller necked it getting it out of the house. Tried to hide it. E-bay purchase. Wish I could have saved the Admiral in trade for the guns and socket. It sits on a shelf and I like it there just fine. Great work and again I'm surprised how well that set works with little extra work. To the owner I wish them many hours of oldie show viewing pleasure. Plus they have Shango066 magic in their set. God Bless

Does this TV usually came with a Space Commander remote control? This was one of the very first remote controls made by Zenith. I hear a BOOM (45:54) from outside. It still happen in NYC, because of illegal fireworks. Remember back in 2018 when you did a video on an early Panasonic 13” B&W TV from 1962? It was mad crazy and it was one heck of a video of an early Japanese TV’s.

Zenith had a "Space Command" remote about 10 years before the 25MC33 came out. It was in the form of a flashlight that you pointed to one of four windows by the corners of the CRT.

I can see why the owner wants it, that's a fine quality set. Nice job on reattaching the CRT socket, that definitely took some patience. I'm looking forward to your traditional 4th of July EOL

What a nice set! I'm in the Netherlands and the only color roundie we had was a Philips 21KX100A from 1963 and it was a prototype. Never actually been sold. I happen to have one, it is also at my youtube channel. I love these old US roundies, but they are impossible to find over here unfortunately...

Shango066, your comment about the beautiful color the RCA 19", 70 degree deflection angle "roundie" CRTs had was quite true. I had a CTC-10 with the CYP22A CRT (no bonded faceplace) and the colors where gorgeous, especially the red. The rectangular CRTs were noticeably faded in comparison. Of course, if you moved anything metal in the room, you had to do a manual deguass but, that was the way things were then before the built-in deguasser.

I found it funny when you said about turning the TV upside down to access the bottom and doing that on their rug. The upside down part is for nomal use in upside down land of Australia. Nice old telly by the way.

Loved this resurrection on a Zenith color set. They were bulletproof TV's no matter what my grandfather and dad said. They liked Admiral and RCA sets. Put an antenna on the roof. Make sure it lights up at night with a red colored beacon so those damn airplanes don't hit it!🗼🛩;-) ! This fourth of July is going to be noisy so get a good set of earplugs too!

If antenna tower is shorter than 200 feet it may not need FAA lights, but it depends on antenna tower location so it may need lights anyway. I don't know where shango is relative to airports, flight lines but I do sometimes hear small aircraft flying over his place.

For all original capacitors, this set is quite watchable! The colors as you mentioned are very vivid. I hope the new owner refinishes the cabinet and maybe change out those suspect capacitors and have a beautiful piece of usable antique TV to display. That one is a keeper! No doggy bed!

I resoldered the base on a 3RP1 scope tube. Same nuisance, plus the base was twisted on the neck at the factory, spiraling all the wires. Made it fun to figure out which ones to start in which pins.

You did that plug base the hard way, my friend. You were supposed to solder some fine gauge magnet wire to each lead and pull it through. Then pull that out when you solder it.

I have done many refitting of CRT caps. The solution is to solder extended fine copper strands to each of the tube leads, poke the extended wires through the pins and pull the tube leads through. I typically use the copper wire strands from a power cord. This makes the job easy and eliminates the need to brutally break the cap as depicted here.

I went to the old family farm yesterday and saw a 1950’s admiral tv. I plugged it in expecting it to put off a smoke show, but instead it actually turned on no problem. Should I save it? I’m pretty sure it’s gonna get thrown away soon

Yep save it. Getting rare. Make yourself $150 on eBay. Take good pics with the set powering up...but do not leave the TV running for too long.

If you want a good digital antenna for the roof, get a Clearstream 4 Antenna. I have one on my place here in LA and one on my place in Santa Clarita and they both haul in tons of channels with no problem.
