Soviet CRT TV tester - restoration and upgrades!

[@ChernobylFamily]

We have a monitor for KTP-63 Soviet robotic camera. Seems need to get this kind of thing, as that needs a repair and a calibration.

[@ThomasBurns]

Do you have the robotic camera as well? That sounds like an amazing restoration project!

[@ChernobylFamily]

@@ThomasBurns yes, and it is up and running. The same as were in use on Chernobyl robots, gives a composite b/w, so any analog display technically would work. Just need to bring it back from the war evacuation and we gonna do something.

[@Merkuryyyy]

in the soviet magazine "radio" they used to have electrical schematics on every single device from the era and how to remake it from scratch if you really needed to, somewhere they had the schematic for this but super simplfied, always cool to see these machines working as intended!

[@ThomasBurns]

@@Merkuryyyy Thanks for watching, Merkury!

8:00 we get to see the good ole percussive maintenance.

[@ThomasBurns]

Hahaha yes! Sometimes the device just needs a bit of persuasion to knock out some of the ghosts inside. :)

[@komv123]

A device cannot be repaired by hitting it. Except if it's russian XDD

[@crazyivan030983]

This burn can be from chemical reaction with power cord. This is very curious this marks of this sort. Cool video.

[@crazyivan030983]

Switch goes perfectly with the style of the device :)

[@ThomasBurns]

Thank you, Ivan!

[@crazyivan030983]

@@ThomasBurns you are welcome :)

[@ckovalev]

As usual, great production, Thomas!

[@SoundsLikeOdie]

Back in the 90s I used a similar signal generator to set up composite video distribution cards. I never looked at the test pattern on a screen always on the scope. Made sure the signal was clean and the sync pulse and burst were up to spec. I don't miss that job.

[@elinaveksler]

Wow, such a nice and quick restoration!

Thanks for watching, Bilal Ben!

[@Readbooks6800]

I see there are 2-3 small CRT TVs behind you hope someday they can make it to workbench. 😊

[@RC_Cola2020]

Did you have to do anything about the grounding and the metal switch on the metal face plate?

[@ThomasBurns]

@@RC_Cola2020 no, just a standard switch installation. Thanks for watching!

percussive maintenance !

8:05 electrical thumps always fix problems!!!!

[@ThomasBurns]

Some “gentle persuasion,” I call it. :)

Probably clean those buttons a bit. :p

Merhaba Thomas, Türkiyeden selamlar. Ben elektronik ile başlangıç seviyesin hobi olarak ilgileniyorum. Bu videoyu açarken crt tv den osiloscop görmeyi umuyordum. Bu işlerde iyi olduğuna eminim. Mümkünse en basit haliyle mini tv den bir osiloskop yapmayı öğretebilir misin?

Great

[@DavidLindes]

1:40 - fashionable and not fashionable?!??? haha, no idea. 1:50/1:53 - what a pity! BNC is so far superior to RCA. :) Cool box! Hmm, I might have to make something like that sometime... 🤔

[@DavidLindes]

P.S. Lol, I see you've gotten 100 new subscribers (it says 935 as I type this, and I think I was something like 835) sometime in the last 30-60 minutes or so. I guess I'm helping you out in the algorithm? :) I subscribed, and I'm watching your backlog (after watching the video with the animatronic echo dot, which was great -- even if I do loathe those echo dots), and... I mean... I'm sure I'm not the only one. I wonder if you'll already have 1k by the time I click through to the next video. :)

[@ThomasBurns]

@@DavidLindes Thank you so much for watching, and for your support!

[@DavidLindes]

@@ThomasBurns gladly! And wow, already to over 8k! You really hit the algorithm well with that latest, I guess! Deservedly so, mind you. :)

First!
