What happened at 1:30?

You got blessed by the algorithm it seems. That's a sweet TV

I saw your cat come in at 1:28 and I thought they started speaking Animal Crossing-ese to you.

Oh, that gray transformer with the brass belt holding it down probably has a manufacture date on it on the backside I don’t know if that helps any.

Wow that very unique but beautiful. If it was my parents it wouldn’t leave the family. But everyone has priorities and maybe guy was in a bind and didn’t have much of a choice. Edit: I bet an amateur ham guy wire that thing up

I always liked the hutch TVs, my grandparents had one for a long time. But this is on another level altogether.

you know what thing find a 70s or a 90s couch cuz the tv looks 70s like and transform the living room to a 70 or 90s look and i dont really mean to change your tv to the old one you can have a cool looking old living room and if you want you can even change the lamp too just an idea

...the radio chassis is a Nordmende Fidelio or Tannhäuser late 50s for sure.

I'm an antique radio guy. Been restoring since I was 7. Love this TV set! Not my world, but still appreciate it. Looking forward to following the project!

I am really wondering how you get RCA cables (roku/DVD player) plugged into an old television like this? I saw in one of your videos that you used an HDMI to RCA converter for the roku but I am wondering how you then get that onto the television, I'd really like to know if you have a second to explain! =) awesome videos, this one is amazing

Could you imagine how amazing it would have been if at 10:20 when he was filimg in the back and talking about seiing rat droppings if you cgi'd a rat jumping out and this whole video up to that point was just a jump scare?!! That would have been epic!! Like a jump scare version of getting Rick-rolled! Hahahahaha

It's so ugly, it's beautiful! Lol

Gran trabajo de restauración. Saludos desde Madrid, España

The problem with the low HV reminds me of when I neglected to reinstall the HV doorknob cap in my Emerson. It would be mostly ok at super low brightness but would quickly lose HV. Perhaps your cap was open or had a poor connection. You said you replaced the 470 ohm resistor on the HV line but it's supposed to be 470k. I hope you misspoke but if you did replace it with the wrong value it would mask an open doorknob.

Hi Jack, I just wanted to give you a little shout out that nuvistors and I might got the spelling a bit wrong are not a type of transistor but the smallest tube that there is. Look up the type 6DS4 and you will see what I mean. Also, try checking the tubes to make sure that they all work as well. Never take the tubes for granted and you might eliminate some problems that you are not aware of.

First one I've seen without the speaker full of holes. Im surprised you didn't cover it up with some cardboard. Great job. That chassis is not for the faint of heart.

KOMET!

Fascinating!

@ 51:05 Curious as to where 'nearby' is.

Magnificent job ! Looks superb and operates great.

Great job baby! Looks so good

I used to have that same set. It actually did work, it just had shrunken/rolled over vertical deflection. It was bright though and passed a signal well. Sadly, at the time I didn't know what I was doing, so I never got it working either; I now look back at it and cringe because of how well everything was working, it just needed caps and would have been good to go.

My brother, my sister and I LOVED 'the Stuff' great B- Horror.

I'll bet this set was really expensive in the day. But it was made with a great deal of care and craftsmanship being made to last. And last it has!!!

Hello it's me again :D your help with my radio has me super close to makeing it work. I have to replace a mica cap and a couple other things but I am greatful for your help

Sometimes I wonder why you don't replace everything you can to start with.

the days before PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) were horrifying!! how did these not catch fire?

I remember 25 years ago going to antique shops and saw several different models of Predica's but unfortunately I am not an electrician and of course none worked and were sold as is. I am sure you have to have excellent patience to fix these sets just like what you went through on this set. Even though I cannot fix old sets, I enjoy watching people like you fix them. Thanks for sharing and this is the first video I have seen by you and I have subscribed to your channel. My parents were the first to get a TV on the block back in the late 40s or early 50s. I remember when I was four years old they had an Emerson probably a 6 to 8 inch screen table top set. I would watch a kiddie show that came on at noon on King channel 5 which was NBC In Seattle if I remember correctly.

For anyone interested in this kind of thing but more with radio's check out David Tipton.

it's a shame to see you doing such a good job and then turning around and modifying the set... I would recommend restuffing the old capacitors to keep the set original so it matches the service documentation

Super great video and so encouraging to watch as I slowly get into restoring my vintage 50s sets I have a lot. Still finding test equipment and will start my projects soon really greatful to you making the very helpful video. thanks Mike

Good job

Ich suchen diese Schaltung...

The resistors you cut out of the filament chain are NTC style resistors. The value of these resistors goes lower when heat-up. This is a important function to limit the inrush-current in the filament chain. Without the NTC resistors you run the risk of burning-out the filaments at power-up

You stole that spider's home

Was that set a Syracuse build? Was Syracuse mentioned on the label? LIved in Syracuse 40 years ago, worked with ex-GE men who were either out of the Broadcast unit or the TV Department. Grew up in nearby Rochester.

I see a cat!! Liked and subbed! 😁

I have an admiral tv from the late 40s I believe sitting in my basement.

😡😡😡😡Bei solchen alten schönen Historischen Geräten sollte man die alten Teile neu Befüllen und nicht entfernen, oder man hängt sie einseitig ab und lässt sie an Ort und Stelle. Diese Geräte werden später keinen Sammelwert mehr Besitzen wenn alle Elektronische Komponenten entfernt werden.😡

That *is* a beautiful set! It would nicely adorn a family living room just as much today as it did in the early postwar years! The circuitry in these sets is like artwork!

the cat said that he likes the tv and the owner.

who looks better the tv or you? YOU man

impressive

Holy cow this tv is awesome

very sweet Cat!

Nice work Jack, dogged persistence pays off! When you have something slowly rolling through the picture, it means the 60 Hz line is getting into the signal path at some point. That component layout on the bottom of the chassis looked difficult to replace components with those vertical terminal boards. I wonder how much money General Electric saved by going with the series filaments, numerous electrolytics, and selenium rectifiers versus a power normal transformer, 5U4 rectifier, and half the electrolytics? That 4.7 ohm resistor in series with the voltage doubler, you might want to increase in value to keep the same B+ voltages. I always like to include a CL90 thermistor in series with the line to give a soft power-on. This is especially important with series filament strings due to unequal filament resistances when cold. Overall - Great Job!

Nice job once again!! How you draw your 6's i almost had a stroke 😅

0:39 that's a nice GE 803 you got there! Fantastic work by the way! Can't wait to see you restore that one. I restored one of those when I was 16. VERY bright picture on those. The cabinet on yours looks astounding. Best wishes from Wisconsin!

Fantastic work! I have restored three late 1940’s Magnavox sets, all using the 12KP4 CRT. The have a fairly complex B+ and B- rail. Only one of the five electrolytic filters has a section where the negative connects to chassis ground. Once up and running, they are excellent performers. These were one CT-214, and two CT-220s. One lives in the legendary Imperial Windsor console. One live in the Embassy console. The third is a spare.

How do know what needs replacing even before doing a soft power up?
