Thank you for bringing back a memory. A photo of my brother and me at 4 and 5 years old respectively in 1967. We were sitting in front of this exact set, watching an episode of the wild Wild West. It (the tv) was destroyed by a flood from hurricane Agnes in 1972.

Sorry to hear about the old Ford Explorer, shango. I actually had my Ford Territory/Explorer on the back of a tow truck two weeks ago today. I snapped the shifter cable on the automatic transmission & was stuck in reverse which the car won’t start in gear. $90 it cost me to have it towed from Woolworths car park to my mechanic 2 blocks away! Also that CRT looks like it needs a good degaussing from laying face down. When I moved house once, I laid my sons CRT set face down on the back seat of the car & the screen went similar to this tv’s screen. This tv looks like the GE roundie you have. 💞xx

I had a Heathkit GR-371MX I built in 1972. It worked for 27 years but as the picture tube aged it slowly lost focus. I had serviced the unit several times over that period. At first adjusting the focus on the HV power supply worked until it reached the limit, then I modified the focus circuit and got several more months of service. I was unable to locate a picture tube replacement, and I kept it for several years. Finally my need of the space it was taking up, I put on the curb.

I rebuilt my transmission myself for my 2002 Chevy Venture. Only thing I ever did on transmissions was remove the pan and filter, for a fluid drain and fill. Anywho, a planetary gear got chewed up because my clutch packs were worn down to nothing. I installed updated bands, clutch packs, and a few hardened steel upgrades, a solenoid, along with my new hardened steel chains. Cost me about $400 in parts, and a few days work. This was a year and 12,500 miles ago.

[@davidjames666]

27,000 miles now and still running strong

[@rfburns5601]

That's impressive! The set half-ass worked but for a resistor that was probably cracked in transport. I suspect your tube is heavily magnetized - green screen control affecting red - beam landings so far off guns not hitting right phosphor dots. I had a friend with a 32" Sony where the degaussing thermister blew open - CRT was so magnetized - gray scale wasn't too far off - barely produced any color & color was bad - like your set. I connected Sencore variac to degaussing coil - fade up - fade down - poof - good and correct color!

[@suzakule]

unlikely,my CTC=16xl has the same type of power setup and the same 18w resistor in the same place ( same resistance ) the thing i noticed is that it gets so hot that it corroded the solder lugs that it was attached to, and the wires going to it ( from the choke, etc ) , the resistor mat be bad, but also , the solder joints may have just gone bad leading to it.

[@Halterung01]

I miss analogue TV. Just connect a wire as an antenna to a TV and off you go. It just used to be so easy. Great work as always

[@brentboswell1294]

Apparently, you don't remember the days when all sets were like this one, and had to be repaired on a regular basis...solid state was much nicer!

[@blazera7328]

All local channels are still required to broadcast a Digital signal over the airwaves. Most modern TV's still have the antenna jack. Just plug in that old antenna and scan for channels. Results will vary based on where you live.

[@anna-lisagirling7424]

We had a delightful friend who collected old TVs and some 35 years ago I remember visiting him in his "home" aka The Betz Museum thinking, "Someday our set at home will be collected and restored as an antique."

I recently got a Bush A823, delta gun CRT. When I got it home I put my CRT tester on it, very low. I decided to leave just the heaters powered up for 2 days. When I rechecked emission it had risen too over 60%. I always use the rejuvenation button ad a last resort. I have found crts can wake up with use.

[@waltschannel7465]

In past videos, Shango has noted the ability of CRTs to wake up with heater voltages applied over a long term.

Well, sheex! That TV was through quite an adventure, I guess you were too. I was surprised that the TV had good horizontal and vertical, the screen was filled out pretty good.

Back in the early 60's when I was around 8 years old (1962?), one of our neighbors bought an expensive color TV for that time. The color was good but all mixed up. I asked my dad to buy a color TV but he said we'll have to wait a few years as they're not very good. In a few years they'll be improved on. He was right. We did wait a few years to get one, but in the mean time we did get a UHF converter box for our black and white TV. At the time, we only had three channels in Cleveland 3, 5, and 8. when we got the converter we had more channels in the UHF band.

EiI remember when I was a little boy we’d turn the TV on and a few minutes later the screen would turn on and we’d be watching our shows. Some of those tubes had to warm up before they’d start working. I remember light would leak from behind the tv before the front display would start working.

check those jumper wires on the top of the color board, they feed B+ to the two big color tubes, and often corrode. You will know it by the cold power resistors in the plate circuit. I just give them a tiny tug, if they pull right up from the pcb you know there were corroded.

Awesome video! ...And over 1h - nice! Pretty good working set "out of the box" except the resistor and color demod but hey, at least most of the capacitors seem to be good. Imagine you changed all of them first and all the work just to throw money out of the window. Diagnose first - the way I like it and the way people can learn from your videos. Throwing parts at it is easy. Same with your Explorer - auto shops (maybe) want to replace the whole transmission but I'm sure you can repair it. I worked on Explorers for 1 month (internship at a place that specialized in Explorer repairs - a LOT of timing chains ... haha). Dan, I hope you make a video about that transmission repair. Thanks.

Many years ago, around 1971/72 an old uncle of mine use to repair neighbours tv's and radio's, that itself is nothing particularly interesting, what is was how he did it. First he'd switch the set on and then use a wooden mallet to bang around the top and side of the set, then he'd take the back off pull out the tubes, clean the contacts with a wire brush, put them back in, switch the set on, if it was working that'd be it, repair done and he'd get paid, if it wasn't working he'd give it a few more whacks with a wooden mallet, see if anything loose inside, if this didn't solve the problem he'd tell the neighbour that the tv set was beyond repair and they'd be better off buying another one, he often had a few old working sets that he'd offer to sell them. The old man had no electrical experience or even a soldering iron, if there was a broken wire he saw he'd simply tie it back to where he thought it went, I'd say a good 50% of sets that were brought into him non working were repaired, I'm guessing many of the faults were simply loose tubes or in somecase a blown fuse in the mains plug of a wire had come off the mains plug cord. A lot of portable radio's he mended involved nothing more than cleaning off the contacts where the batteries went, I'm talking nearly 50 years ago in a village in England where less than half the people owned a car and the nearest tv repair shop would have been 20 miles away, the older generation back then would have been clueless about things like that, my uncle was highly respected in the area and was looked upon as a electronics expert.

[@billharris6886]

I worked and set up several of those CTC-15's when I was a TV Tech in the mid-1970's. That set definitely looks like RCA made it. I was also surprised that the set still had all the chassis mounting screws and the back panel clips. Those were usually the first things to go when a service man worked on the TV. That 1400 ohm resistor (if my memory serves me right) was mounted along the front of the chassis. It was being over dissipated, it cooked the wires connected to it. I had seen several where the copper leads on the resistor were shedding. About the purity: Those 19" round CRT's were very sensitive to magnetic fields. After setting one up, you could turn the set 90 degrees and the purity would be totally shot. Before trying to set up the purity, you need to do a thorough degaussing. I'm not sure why the green drive is also bringing up the red, it may be due to the purity being so far off. Also, there could be damage to the shadow mask or gun assembly after all the abuse the set took on the way home. If you fix the purity issues and you still have the green/red interaction, I would check the bias voltages on the CRT next. It is not that hard to pull those chassis. You remove the speaker, yoke, and CRT plugs. The tuner assembly mounts to the right backside of the chassis. The hardest thing with that removal is pulling off all of the knobs.

[@geekygirl2596]

Do a 1993(ish) curtis mathison CRT color tv sometime? That was my first childhood tv. The story is it survived being struck by lightning (while in use inside) and still worked. My mom put it in my room because they got a new entertainment center and it wouldn't fit. Wasnt hooked up again or working until I was 8. Stopped working when I was 14 (~2007) when I turned it on one morning and all I had was perfect audio and the waste bands of cartoon characters. A strip in the middle of the screen (horizontally) worked perfectly but the rest of the screen had no picture at all and didnt even light up. We decided against fixing it because nobody made that kind of tv much less the parts for it anymore. At least not near me.

Good job from Japan! 😺

[@telocho]

Only the "original" RCA ctc100 did not use rare earth. Rare earth is also the reason there is a tiny phase shift between Q and I in demodulation compared to NTSC from 1954, to match the colours. Rare earth colours deviate in hue from the original phosphors but are much brighter. Remember the NTSC norm was written hand in hand with the development of the picture tube, so the colour matrix definition was written with the physical caracteristics of the original phosphors in mind. They could not change the NTSC norm anymore when rare earth phosphors came out, but the brightness benefits were much greater than the little hue mismatch. When PAL came in Europe, rare earth was the norm and so it was possible to define the colour matrix based on these RE phosphors.

[@billharris6886]

Thanks Telocho for that bit of color TV engineering history, I did not know this. I did observe a mismatch in the color with the early color sets, it had a green tint on color broadcasts. (I worked on RCA CTC-7 to CTC-25 chassis in the mid-1970's). I know RCA modified the color demodulator circuit about 1968 to minimize the color error.

[@waltschannel7465]

Wow, amazing recollection!!

[@danvanlandingham3854]

I was of the impression that Wells Gardner built their stuff.I know that Belmont built some of their stuff as I had a circa 1946 Airline and I used a Belmont schematic from an old volume of Riders I found in an antique store some 30 years ago.Best $5 I ever spent.Belmont also built chasses for the "Western Royal" sets.I had one my Dad threw out when I moved from North Bend,Oregon to Roseburg,Oregon in 1987.It was identical to the Airline.

[@WilliamCohn]

Looks like Wells Gardner made because model number starts with WG. Wards used Wells Gardner up till the 70s. Sears sets of the time were Warwick unless they sourced them from Japan then they were Toshiba or Sanyo. Sanyo later purchased Warwick. Wells Gardner is still in business by the way.

[@awizardalso]

I'm inclined to think it was made by RCA. Back in early 70's, Montgomery Wards sold shock absorbers with the Wards name printed in them. They were identical to Monroe shock absorbers. Many small companies buy their products from major manufacturers (sometimes in bulk) and licensed to sell under their name. Another example is General Mills makes Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and a nearby store called 'Save-A-Lot' sells both General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, and another by a company called Kiggins that has Cinnamon Crunch cereal for $1 less than the General Mills brand. I bought both and they're both identical in appearance, texture and taste.
